THURSDAY HUGE FINANCE Update:
Dennis’ team just let us know that HRC now has to attend a funeral on Thursday afternoon and has to leave the event at 5:30 pm. They have to
move up the entire program so she can speak at 3:30 pm and they can begin the reception at 4:00 pm.
Dennis said that given the change in circumstances you don’t need to come up just for the reception from 4:00-5:30 pm. However, since you
already have a mostly non-refundable 2:00 pm flight (we can recoup $200 in credit) you still have the option of coming up for the evening if you
think it's worthwhile.
Please let us know your preference here. We can ’t cancel the flight but can cancel the 9:05 pm Acela back to DC.

For my conversation with JDP on Monday
Draft Deal Summary Memo[1].docx
Landlord Second Round[1].xlsx
CashFlowEquitableGrowth201 5-201 7-HB.xlsx
org-chart-floorplan.pdf
Hello Milia,
On the agenda for our meeting Monday (9:45 am) is an update on the transitions and potential office space; the
latest updates on revenue and prospects; and a request to post for two positions that were in our 2015 budget
— a special assistant and a policy analyst. Plus, anything else John wants to discuss.
A few details:
1. Below are Ed’s notes from his call today with Steve. We understand Steve and John are talking
today at 3:15 so I’m including this in case it’s helpful for that conversation.
2. For the attachments, the cash flow budget needs on the first tab, “Cash Flow 2015-17” printed. It is laid out
to print IN COLOR on LEGAL paper.
3. The floorplan is a first cut — we put people into offices to get a sense of space (it will fit us bursting at
seams if we fill in our full staffing plan), but we did not focus on the actual best seating.
Thanks,
Heather

Subject: Details for today's noon conversation
Hi Steve,
Here's an email to tee up our conversation today. On my list are these things:
1) . Update you on the office search — the three attached docs explain what we've done to date, where we stand with a final
suggested location, and how this fits in with our five-year staffing plan.
(Steve will review the docs —I sent them to him right before our call, which he didn 't appreciate, but I explained in our conversation that I just
wanted him to review the approach of the memo and the pricing outcomes. He thinks this is a good approach for the board but will get back
with any specifics. The main thing we discussed is timing for board approval of a lease if things move more quickly with the sublandlord of the
office space. We discussed either a series of quick phone-only board meetings our perhaps a Unanimous Consent doc with the details of the
lease to happen first by email, then a second meeting with all the other stuff the board needs to approve below.)
2) . Update you on the separation agreement that Alex is working up— basically a doc that allows Equitable Growth and CAP to
identify everything we need to deal with and sort it out methodically.
(Steve really likes this idea but wants to ensure flexibility right up to the end, which is something Alex and Torey and I also agreed upon, so good
to go here. I should have the initial draft of this doc in hand by the end of the month.)
3) . Update you on Debbie's progress on several fronts— two questions for you about the financing of health care and retirement
savings that she'd like to make sure are possible or practical.
(Steve said we should benchmark to CAP on both bennies and one other organization to give the board a one-page feel for what's being decided.
He thought the CAP bennies on retirement savings were appropriate but suggested that the different in health care costs given our shift to a
smaller organization means we can 't expect to match apples to apples with CAP)
4) . Discuss what else besides the preliminary 2016 budget and the office lease to discuss at the first board meeting— mainly
whether the board wants to weigh in on the health care and retirement savings decisions
(Steve said the main thing is to provide the board with comfort on the revenue side of the ledger as we can adjust our spending to meet

contingencies, and the Sandlers can backstop if absolutely essential. He said a preliminary 2016 budget is okay, but would like it to be as non-
preliminary as possible.)
5) . Update on Finance and Admin Manager search— a few worthy bites from our posting and one good candidate Debbie sent our
way who I'm going to have a preliminary chat with later today.
(Steve is very happy we may not have to pay a headhunter. I told him I'm talking to one promising candidate today, but added that out of about
50 resumes received since we posted the job on our site and around the web there were only a handful of plausible candiates. He added to
make sure the hire is a good culture fit given the importance of the position.)
6) . 1023 update— I read thru it all one last time this morning and will send it back for filing by our lawyers with Fleather's sig this
afternoon.
(It is being filed today! He's happy, thought I think slightly annoyed at the time spent angling for an accelerated ruling request from the IRS.)
And obviously anything else you'd like to discuss.
(He suggested I keep him updated next week on the office lease situation as that might involve some further steps by the Sandlers to nail down
the signing and deposit.)
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Mr.Podesta,
I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology in July 2013. I have
been searching for a job in politics since graduating. I did a Fellowship Internship for the Michelle Nunn for US
Senate & Jason Carter for Governor Campaign through GA Victory 2014 this past fall. Anyway, do you have any
information on paid full time jobs with Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign once she announces in April? I can

Dear Sir,
Subject: Disentanglement from Afghanistan
I have been conducting a pertinacious correspondence with your Committee in latest four years trying exerting pressure on
US Establishment that might have eventually got NATO Troops been pulled out of Afghanistan. According to TV Program
dedicated to US Arsenal as many as 7000 UAV are being stored unused in Magazines instead of attacking targets in
Afghanistan with the following emerging advantages:
1) Severing Terror Organizations' from their Financial Sources
2) Salvation of millions of potential Drug Addicts from awful agony and death.
3) Acceleration of Troops pulling out from Afghanistan due to Intensification of Aerial raids.
4) Restoration of US Deterrence as a result of UAV strengthening.
I believe in Terror Overwhelming defeat under those circumstances.
5) I remember UN 1946 Chapter 5 1 (self defense right that every country deserves) but being surprised by US failing of its
Exercise in spite of its Technical Preponderance
6) Despite my Thorough UAV Special Version Design for Narcotic Vegetation Eradication even one word of
Acknowledgement has not reached my mailbox hitherto.
7) Ignominious for a Super Power isn't it?
Sincerely,
Gideon Rodeh

I want to understand the degree to which taxing the middle class still resonates. I am sure there are a
number of ways to frame this. Four years ago, invocation of the middle class (growing, expanding,
strengthening) in all things was huge. Is this still the case?
And of course now there is much you are probably already testing re: national security and guns. Would be
interested to know how much "keeping our families safe" trumps other related valences since it would be a
sweet spot for her as a female CiC.

As for the session itself, we will do some Q-and-A drills before we start the mock. So we won’t get

And of course, Karen will be having a baby on Tuesday early morning, so, she’ll probably be an hour

If we think this is a dead weekend, my gut would be to get a week-long plan put together leading up to
La Raza. Call to action to the groups, ask CHC members to write op eds, Univision interview, etc. then
we need to make more news at La Raza.
In any case, I'd rather focus on getting lots of pickup and organizing around some news at La Raza than
getting some one offs that don't penetrate as much.

Alex, who works for Haim, called a few minutes ago. Same message- Haim thinks HRC needs to be
on the forefront of this and show that she's an integral part of the community, lift up and be proud

happened in the wake of Charleston. He asked to call him and share our plan and get input from
them, let me know how you feel about that.
Agree with all that's been said. Would be good to have HRC do a Univision interview soon and say
something to English media.
Amanda, myself, and others can also be on SLM delivering the message. Other surrogates can
really hammer the GOP and make this about the Party of Trump. It's about condemning Trump
and the lack of R leadership. It's not just his comments, but the policy implications that all the Rs
agree with.
Espuelas is on Face the Nation (see below)- if we have a good relationship with him, can we make
sure he's seen what HRC has said on this ?
(Face the Nation": Sen. Bob Corker ... Sen. Amy Klobuchar ... Rick Santorum ... Panel: Mike Allen, Ruth "The Truth" Marcus, Peter Baker and
talk-show host Fernando Espuelas)
Other thoughts:
-Do we have anyone going on TV this weekend?
-Thinking about the early 4, there is the Trump International Hotel in Vegas. Maybe there is an
organizing opportunity next week. Would be good to reach out to UNITE HERE.
-Online: Engage Latinos and give them something to do so we can galvanize them against the GOP
and affirm their values for the contributions they make. And let them know that we stand with them--
that the platform of HRC is the platform that stands with Latinos and lifts up their contributions.

Surrogates Q&A in Response Issa Letter/NYT Story
- We've been over this, and over this, and over this again. She had an email account. She used that email
account to correspond with over 100 people inside the State Department, outside the State Department,
likely even some Republicans.
- This was not a secret being kept, it was an email address. And she followed the letter and spirit of the
law.
- And let's remember something. This was a 2012 letter, isn't it interesting that it's coming out over 2 years
later in 2015, the first day she begins campaigning in Iowa? What does that tell you about this? It tells you
that this is more of the same partisan charade by the Republicans, the same Republicans who are turning
to this because they didn't find any smoking gun on Benghazi.
If asked about the mention in the story about violating the rules in the foreign affairs
manual:
- Let's remember something, 6 weeks ago the State Department email servers went down and they asked
that people use their personal accounts.
If pressed on whether Hillary Clinton gets to play by her own set of rules:
- Well I'll tell you this, she has asked the State Department to turn over all 55,000 pages of her emails, and
it's still not enough. So I'd say that the Republicans try and hold her to a different standard because they
are afraid of what she has to offer as a candidate.
- She's out there talking to voters, listening to their ideas and talking through some of hers.
- It's important not to let these partisan attacks go unresponded to, but that's not what she's focused on.

Hillary Clinton Was Asked About
Emair 2 Years Ago
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton was directly asked by congressional
investigators in a December 2012 letter whether she had used a private email
account while serving as secretary of state, according to letters obtained by The
New York Times.
But Mrs. Clinton did not reply to the letter. And when the State Department
answered in March 2013, nearly two months after she left office, it ignored the
question and provided no response for it.
The query was posed to Mrs. Clinton in a Dec. 13, 2012, letter from Representative
Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform. Mr. Issa was leading an investigation into how the Obama
administration handled its officials’ use of personal email.
“Have you or any senior agency official ever used a personal email account to
conduct official business?” Mr. Issa wrote to Mrs. Clinton. “If so, please identify the
account used.”

Subject: Update on Ebola Outbreak: Georgetown’s Trav el Policies and Health Protocol
Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community:
We are writing today to ensure that all members of our community are aware of our policies and procedures related to the Ebola virus outbreak in
West Africa. Georgetown University, along with MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, the DC Department of Health and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), continue to monitor the outbreak of the Ebola vims in West Africa and its global impact.
While the risk of the Ebola vims affecting our campus community is low, the university has a policy in place to address travel to West Africa and
has implemented a protocol to educate our community, identify individuals who may be at risk of exposure and monitor travelers returning from
affected regions.
Travel Policy
As we wrote in August, Georgetown continues to prohibit university-sponsored travel for all of its students, faculty and staff to Liberia, Guinea
and Sierra Leone. This guidance is consistent with CDC travel warnings to avoid non-essential travel to these areas. This means that university
funds will not be used to support trips to these areas, nor will the university facilitate or otherwise endorse travel to these areas until further
notice.
This policy will remain in effect as long as the CDC maintains the current warnings. If travel warnings for new locations are issued by the CDC, the
university’s travel policy will extend to those areas as well.
Personal Travel
Georgetown University strongly urges all members of the community to avoid personal travel to these areas. If there are compelling personal
reasons for such travel, the University urges students, faculty and staff to contact Joseph Yohe, Associate Vice President for Risk Management
at 202-687-6622 o ri oseph. vohe@georgetown. edu , prior to departure. Faculty should also review personal travel plans to these areas with
their Campus Executive Vice President, and staff should review with the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, as appropriate, and
comply with all relevant policies.
Health Protocol
Georgetown is following the CDC’s recently released guidance: Advice for Colleges. Universities and Students about Ebola in West Africa in
our response-planning efforts. In order to protect our campus community from the Ebola vims, we ask that - before coming back onto campus -
any faculty, staff or students who, in the last 21 days, have:
traveled to a region with known outbreaks of Ebola; or
had direct exposure to a person known to have an Ebola infection
contact Joseph Yohe, Associate Vice President for Risk Management at 202-687-6622 or joseph.vohe@georgetown.edu . Members of
our community are expected to follow our monitoring protocols, which will be based on an individualized risk assessment.
It is important that all travelers adhere to these procedures in order to protect the health and safety of our campus community. Georgetown will
continue to monitor updates from the CDC, the World Health Organization and the DC Department of Health in order to provide the most up-to-
date and accurate information available.
For additional information about Ebola, including signs and symptoms, transmission and risk of exposure, and what to do if you are exhibiting
symptoms, please see FAQs excerpted from the CDC website here .
Sincerely,
Joseph Yohe
Associate Vice President for Risk Management
James C. Welsh
Assistant Vice President for Student Health

WJC NBC interview
MS et al -
We got a readout of WJC's NBC interview from our friends in Africa.
Going in, NBC agreed to do 70 percent of the piece on work of the
Foundation and 30 percent about the book. Cynthia McFadden was the
interviewer and didn't ask one question about work of the Foundation.
Not one.
Absurdly, NBC is still promising Craig that they will stick by 70-30
agreement by using footage of the events and Cynthia describing the
work of the Foundation. Not sure it will help, but I called Chuck
Todd (as head of political unit) to let him know how outrageous and
ludicrous this was and that our side of the house is watching to see
how NBC handles this. The piece will air on Monday on the Today show.
I think we have to make this public. We are being hit by the press
for not getting more attention for the good work of the Foundation,
take a network to Africa to see the work, give them an interview with
the President, and they do not ask ONE question about the work of the
Foundation.
Craig has gotten in touch with NY mag this am to do a story about how
grossly the media has handled the story on book/foundation and make
this experience with NBC part of that story.
I also think we need to make it appropriately known on our "briefing"
page on the website where all of our response content will live (it
will be hillaryclinton.com/briefing). Will figure out a way to do so
in a rational, dispassionate way. But think we need to do.
Below is a summary readout of the interview. We should have a
transcript soon. Jen
-Tone was calm and civil.
-Says he has never knowingly accepted money from someone trying to
influence government decisions, and if he knew that was any donor's
goal, he wouldnt take their money
-says there is not a "shred of evidence" they did anything wrong.
-said the 990 forms were an innocent mistake
-says he does not think foundation is hurting HRC campaign
- Said it will be up to voters to decide if there is an appearance

problem, he is confident they will come to the right conclusion
-said he might step down from Foundation if she wins - if he is asked
to do something in government
-Blamed media in having double standard with him compared to other
presidents. His best lines were a riff saying the "theory of the case"
behind the allegations was nuts in that you have government officials
being influenced by philanthropic donations to poor people.

I think there's a lot of really strong stuff in here, really nice work Dan - one small suggestion that might help
achieve what Joel is flagging here could be to bring the recipe for gridlock language up in the speech so that it's
connected to the framing graph on delivering real results - so that shes presenting the clear choice early on.

I think John is right and there is so much kitchen sink, I'm losing the core argument. I've read the speech twice and I'm not
sure we are teeing up "the choice" that we want voters to think about when they caucus nor am I finding the two to three
sound bites that we would love to see picked up every day. I thought the short version that were sent around on the 18 th
are closer to the essence the of the argument and instead of trying to put some "issues" "plans" I would pare down and
have a policies/solutions that animate and reflect the values that are driving her: fairness, lifting each other up, having
each others backs.
All the candidates have the experts stumped (Carson early; Trump; Cruz, Sanders) are all focusing on the core values they
hold and are fighting for a simple vision of where we want them to be. I think we have the latter with real differences in
people's lives but we're not hitting on values enough (why she is fighting for each thing) as the linchpin between what she
will do on the policy side and the real differences those will make in peoples lives.

Team, attached is a full draft of a speech based on the outline we gave HRC yesterday. At its core is the argument that
Sanders' ideas will lead to gridlock, not action, and Americans can't wait to see results.
This is about 2800 words, which is roughly 25 minutes. So cuts welcome.
I need to get to HRC and WJC soon, so I apologize about the short-turn around but would love reactions ASAP.

the vacancy on the Supreme Court - has us FUMING.
Their antics are proof positive we've GOT to elect a Democratic Majority this fall. But the GOP is going
to have their eyes on our FEC report to see one thing: if we've got the strength to hold them
accountable for their failure to do their job.
That is why before midnight tonight we've got to make sure we close the gap in our

Subject: Staff Transition
Dear Members of the Board,
After more than a decade of service to the American Progress, Debbie Fine will be leaving us for a fantastic new
opportunity as the Deputy Director of Global Philanthropy at J.P. Morgan Chase. We are incredibly grateful for her
years of dedication, hard work, effective leadership and sense of humor. Debbie has been part of American Progress
from the very early days, helping build its infrastructure and establishing a legal team that protects CAP without
hindering its programmatic goals. She has been a true team player, filling many roles as needed over the years. Few
have worked as hard to make CAP the place it is and I will miss her spirit as well as her counsel.
I am pleased to announce that Alex DeMots will be leading the legal team as our new General Counsel. Alex has served
as in-house counsel at American Progress for more than seven years, and as VP and Deputy General Counsel since
2011. During that time he has been an effective leader, helping to guide the legal team with excellent problem solving
skills, and working with American Progress staff to ensure legal compliance in all manner of activities. He has been
particularly effective in guiding us with judiciousness as the world of nonprofits and electoral activities has been
radically altered. I know he will make a strong General Counsel. In addition to his years of experience at American
Progress, he served as counsel to Chairman Robert D. Lenhard at the Federal Election Commission and spent two
years as an associate with Trister, Ross, Schadler & Gold, specializing in advising nonprofit organizations on the full
range of issues relevant to them. Alex is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and the University of
Michigan.
I am recommending that the board appoint Alex as the new Corporate Secretary effective April 20, 2015. As
described above, he has a wealth of experience in legal matters impacting tax exempt organizations, including best

practices in governance, and he has already worked side by side with Debbie during his tenure here on these issues.
If you agree with my recommendation, please email Debbie Fine to let her know at your earliest convenience
at dfine@americanprogress.org , and complete the attached Unanimous Consent and submit it to Debbie by
email or fax to 202-315-0453 by Thursday April 16.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
I look forward to seeing you in May.

Martin O'Malley 9:19 a.m. EOT June 18, 2015
Today, Pope Francis published his first encyclical — an official teaching document to all 1 .2 billion Catholics
— on the moral imperative of addressing climate change. He is not alone among leaders of world faiths
making such a clarion call for action.
We have come a long way as a nation in making ourselves more energy independent. Now is the time to
take this progress to the next level — the future of our country and our planet depends on it.
New technologies now put an independent clean energy future decidedly within our reach as a nation.
But reach for it we must.
Clean energy represents the biggest business and job creation opportunity we've seen in a hundred years.
And reliance on local, renewable energy sources means a more secure nation and a more stable world.
Given the grave threat that climate change poses to human life on our planet, we have not only a business
imperative but a moral obligation to future generations to act immediately and aggressively.
This is why protecting the United States from the devastating impact of climate change — while capitalizing on
the job creation opportunity of clean energy — is at the center of my campaign for president .
All of us can acknowledge that with an "all of the above strategy," President Obama has made the United
States more energy independent in every category of fuels, including oil and gas.
But America did not land a man on the moon with an "all of the above strategy." It was an engineering
challenge.
Making the transition to a clean energy future is also an engineering challenge.
We cannot meet the climate challenge with an all-of-the-above energy strategy, or by drilling off our coasts, or

by building pipelines that bring oil from tar sands in Canada.
Instead, we must be intentional and committed to one over-arching goal as a people: a full, complete transition
to renewable energy — and an end to our reliance on fossil fuels.
Saving the world is a goal worthy of a great people. It is also good business for the United States of America.
I believe, within 35 years, our country can, and should, be 100% powered by clean energy, supported by
millions of new jobs. To reach this goal we must accelerate that transition starting now.
As president, on day one, I would use my executive power to declare the transition to a clean energy future
the number one priority of our Federal Government.
I would create a new Clean Energy Jobs Corps to partner with communities to retrofit buildings to be more
energy efficient, improve local resiliency, create new green spaces, and restore and expand our forests so
they can absorb more greenhouse gases.
I would retrofit federal buildings to the highest efficiency standards and require new federal buildings to be
net-zero, require the federal fleet to be subject to low- or zero-emissions purchasing agreements, and require
all federally-funded infrastructure projects to meet climate resiliency standards
As president, I would direct the Environmental Protection Agency to take aggressive action to limit greenhouse
gases: expanding rules to other large sources of emissions beyond power plants, adopting a zero-tolerance
policy for methane leaks from current oil and gas production, and setting higher energy efficiency standards
for new buildings while requiring energy costs to be transparent to building tenants and purchasers.
And I would reject projects like Keystone XL and drilling off our coasts and in Antarctica and Alaska .
Furthermore, I would keep domestically produced oil and gas in the U.S., instead of selling it abroad —
unless there is a clear strategic security rationale.
Beyond executive actions, I would make clean energy deployment — and employment — a first-order priority.
I would set a national, cross-sector Renewable Electricity Standard so our nation is powered by 100% clean
energy by 2050, and a national goal of doubling energy efficiency within 15 years. Many states like California
and Maryland are already leading the way forward for the United States.
I would fight for federal legislation for a cap on carbon emissions from all sources, with proceeds from permits
returned to lower and middle-class families, transition assistance, and new jobs with the Clean Energy Corps.
As president, I would support a Clean Energy Financing Authority to support projects to increase efficiency
and resiliency upgrades in cities, towns, and rural communities nationwide.
I would prioritize modernizing our electric grid to evolve to support localized, renewable energy generation,
reduce electricity waste and increase security from sabotage or attack.
And I would increase our investment in basic clean energy research so the U.S. can reclaim the lead on
energy innovation, including advancing development, deployment, transmission and storage for renewable
energy and new efficiency technologies.
The fact is, there is no either/or choice between our prosperity and protecting our planet — we can create a

without a livable climate.
The reality, as I learned in Maryland, is that the two goals are indivisible. Driven by ambitious targets, we
created thousands of new jobs while deploying clean energy technology and reducing greenhouse gas
pollution by nearly 10% over just seven years.
As the nation, we can do far more — with a bold vision for America's clean energy future and the strong
leadership needed to get it done.
Martin O'Malley has served as the governor of Maryland, mayor of Baltimore, and a city councilor — earning a
reputation as a bold, progressive, and pragmatic executive who is willing to take on our toughest shared
challenges.

Hello Joe and Bob,
I hope this finds you well!
Mr. Podesta has asked us to check on a few things for him with respect to 12C. I don't
know if these things fall under your responsibilities, but if not, perhaps you can point me
in the right direction:
- the French doors in the living room do not close properly (after the hardware
replacement)
- there is a strip of metal missing between two of the glass panes on the right-hand
French door in the living room
- there is some peeling paint on the ceiling of the living room (close to the French doors)
that is in need of repair
- there is a small defect in the window frame on the south-facing window that needs to be
repaired
Please advise how we can get these items addressed and resolved.
Thanks

Created some contrast with Sanders:
Said congress won't pass free education. And used some of the same language from earlier today.
WJC just said that it's fine to say you're for a single payer system. He acknowledged that if
we didn't have something to build on, maybe it's what we should be doing. But, that we
can't afford to rip away the progress we've made - that we need to build on what we have.

He made the same Wall St. argument/contrast he did earlier today. He also used the bit on Bernie calling
Planned Parenthood on others the establishment. Adlibbed a bit this time saying that just because
people aren't for sure doesn't mean that they're the establishment.
Said people who can afford to pay for their children's education (i.e.: him) should not get it for free. That
everyone should contribute their fair share. That it'd unfair to take away money from those who need it.
Said the 90's were good, but that we need to upgrade that to get similar results in new and challenging
times.
Fun fact: As it turns out, and per WJC, watermelons aren't very good when they're north of 40 lbs -
because they're mostly water. He offered as much after reminding the crowd here that the world record for
watermelons stood at some 270 lbs, at one point. And, that it was grown in AR while he was Governor.
Remarks
About 350 more lowans showed up to see WJC here in Muscatine.
The field organizer (Fernando) that introduced WJC was pretty good.
WJC shared a fun little story about watermelons & acknowledged that delicious wine is made in
Muscatine.
Piggybacking off of what Fernando said during his intro, WJC started by talking CHIP and health care.
He transitioned and shared a couple of the stories of the folks he's met while out here.
He then spent some time framing the election and laying out what's at stake. Covered college affordability,
ISIS, immigration, trickle down economics (we did it before, we can do it again), community-police
relations, voting rights, and gun safety.
Had some fun with the GOP, saying they "name and blame." Used his cold/Obama line. And said they've
now resorted to blame HRC.
He created some contrast with Bernie. (Insert language above).
Closed by delivering all of the biographical points.

Summarized Bernie's closing argument as follows: "yeah, I'll break up the big banks, tax millionaires
and billionaires, and give you free education." Called Bernie's argument pretty catchy. But, said we
need real answers to real problems. That it may not be emotionally satisfying, but that it's the truth.
And went on to articulate HRC's colleague affordability plan.
Said her opponent's health care plan is fairly new, that it was released a couple of days ago - ahead
of the last debate. He then articulated HRC's plan and made the practical argument. Closed by
saying that we need to "focus the power of the presidency to further improve the ACA."
Tackled Bernie's establishment comment as well. Argued forcefully that NOT Planned Parenthood,
NOR the progressive papers, NOR any of the people who work on progressive issues, OR the
progressive newspapers in IA and NH that have endorsed her are part of the establishment.
Said that he and Obama are the only two Presidents since Eisenhower to have Republican Sec.'s of
Defense.
Said America's approval rating went up 20 percent while she was SoS.
Remarks
350 deep here in Fairfield.
WJC was fired up
Said he saw the strength and diversity of America yesterday while traveling throw IA. He shared the
stories of some of the folks he's met since being here, covering the issues of health care,
prescription drug abuse, and immigration. Said he was telling these stories because the election was
about them (the people).
He then dove into articulating what's at stake these elections.
Said most folks are angry because change hasn't caught up to them yet.
Said it isn't close. HRC's the best change-maker.
(Insert all of the Bernie language).
Covered the economy and said we need to recapture the American Dream. Brought out his charts,
compared and contrasted his performance with Reagan's, and said only one person can get us back
on track.
Covered ISIS, Muslims, and the GOP's fear-mongering.
Said the doesn't want to run against her, so they're constantly attacking her. And, went on to offer all
of the biographical points he's been making.
Closed with his bit on Flint.

400 strong here in Ottumwa. They were pretty rowdy.
***Over 1,600 lowans heard WJC make the case for HRC today, (h/t Patrick).***
Remarks were good. WJC was rapid firing. Stuck to his usual construct and was
forceful about why he thinks she's the best change-maker he's ever met.
No Q's on the ropeline.
We're, theoretically, done for the day.
Color | New | Flags
Making the point that income inequality has been something he's both cared about and has
credibility on, WJC said he's probably given more speeches about income inequality than
anyone currently running for office.
Offered this fun fact: Turkey's can see better than humans.
Said we need answers over angers. Hope over fear. And action over rhetoric. Said HRC is the
only one equipped to help us achieve all of that.
Made some contrast on health care.
Said he's tickled that she's tagged as part of the establishment. That her opponent calls
Planned Parenthood the establishment. And then went on to use his language on HRC going
to Wall St. to call them out.
Remarks
Started by effectively articulating what's at stake & why people are apprehensive about the
future. Said we need to finish the recovery started under Obama and that we need to bring
back the middle class.
Said we can do it because we've done it before, (pulled out his charts and gave Reagan the
business).
Said we shouldn't turn our backs on important issues or turn Muslims into demons. That we
should be doing this together.
Covered BLM, immigration, prescription and heroin drub abuse, dark money in politics, and
voting rights.
Said that while it's important not to let the GOP not to rip away all the progress we've made, we
need to work together - that we need more friends and fewer enemies.
He then moved on to the issue of guns, which he fleshed out a little bit. And then ISIS. And the
frustration folks are feeling.
After he made the turn, he spent a significant chunk of time on all of the good things HRC has
made happen - as a private citizen, as a Sen., and as SoS.
Covered health care.
And, the sanction on Iran. He praised HRC's effort profusely and suggested that both Obama
and Kerry have acknowledged how important they've been.

Was asked by NBC how he feels going into the home stretch. He said he feels good. That
folks are being receptive. That he's made the case he's wanted to make and that HRC
has worked hard. That all that's left now is to leave it all on the floor.

Said that he is indeed mad about all of the problems we're facing (i.e.: college
affordability and kids being crippled by debt), but that ultimately what we need a change-
maker. And that said change-maker is HRC.
Remarks
WJC was pretty fired up here in Washington, where WJC addressed 300 people, which
I'm told is a pretty decent-sized crowd.
He started by arguing that we can't afford not to elect HRC, because she would lead with
more friends and fewer enemies.
Talked about HRC's toughness, using the 11-hour Benghazi hearing as an example.
Forcefully pointed out that she's the only candidate to have gone to Wall St. to warn that
if they didn't cut it out with home mortgage securities that they'd drive the economy into a
ditch.
Pointed out the HRC's best friend from Chicago and dozens of people from AR are here
knocking doors on her behalf, that it should tell you all you need to know. That she's isn't
anything like the caricature that the GOP likes to paint.
He then dedicated a chunk of time speaking about all of HRC's accomplishments a private
citizen, as a Senator from NY, and as SoS.
He also created a bit of contracts on health care, but stuck to what he's been saying this
whole time.
Said she would make good things happen on the good days (i.e.: when he reversed
trickle down economics or signed peace in Ireland), on the bad days (i.e.: the day
President Obama must've had after San Bernardino), and also on the other days.

Was asked by the student newspaper to articulate some of the foreign policy
differences between HRC and Sanders. WJC didn’t take the bait and instead opted
to talk about all that HRC did around Iran and the sanctions.
Was also asked by a Norwegian reporter what it would take to win on Monday. WJC
said “for folks to show up.”
Color | New | Flag
Said we dont have shared prosperity and that the American Dream isn’t exactly alive
for everybody. That job #1 for the next POTUS will be to restore broad-based
prosperity.
Said the GOP can’t kill or occupy or bomb everyone to the stone age.
Brought his charts out again. Seemed to work better here, with WJC drawing a few
laughs.
Covered health care a little bit, making the practical argument about not having 60
votes in the Senate. Said that he believes that the Republican Governors that
haven’t taken the MedicAid Expansion money will eventually do so, because it
creates jobs. Didn’t mention Sanders by name, FYI.
Said that the success of a President depends on what your positions are and what
you know, but that it also depends on what you can do and whether or not you can
work with others — that there’s a difference between a change-talker and a
change-maker.
Said that his sick of all this cynicism and all of the yelling, because it has nothing to
do with people. That if folks are sick of it too, they should support a change-maker.
And, that’s HRC.
Remarks
WJC started by articulating what’s at stake, and why we can’t afford to let
Republicans reverse everything that Pres. Obama has accomplished.
In framing what’s at stake, he used climate change, voting rights, immigration, ISIS,
and the economy under him (VS Reagan) as examples.
He then went on to talk about some of HRC’s plans and positions, particularly health
care and drug abuse. (Insert contrast language).
Had a little fun with the GOP, reminding folks about their 3D strategy. And, how they
like to blame others for all of our problems, mainly Mexicans, Muslims, and
President Obama and HRC.

repeal it.
So I think the debates, though, they let you answer whatever
questions people have, whatever they have. The public
decides what they think is relevant.
QUESTION: [Inaudible] pie in the sky, that it just isn't
possible. Is she angry enough to win in an election that we've
seen where anger really has paid off?
BILL CLINTON: What?
QUESTION: Donald Trump is pretty angry. He's resonating
with voters. Is she angry enough to win [inaudible]?
BILL CLINTON: It's important, if you're in this position, to
have no feelings about that except you're trying to help
people. She's angry that so many Americans have not
participated in the recovery, have had their own potential and
their [inaudible], their children [inaudible].
She's angry that we haven't done anything for these areas
that have been left out and left behind, like Coal Country.
She's angry that we haven't done enough to help people in
this prescription drug and opiate epidemic. She just thinks
about -- it's like when she called the Mayor in Flint: "What can
I do to help?" That's what drives her.
What I said tonight is exactly who she's been for ever since
the first day I met her. Do all the good you can. Her instinct is
not who can I attack, who can I blame? It's not that you
shouldn't ask people to take responsibility when they make
mistakes, but her immediate instinct is what can I do to make it
better. And that's what we need right now.
QUESTION: President Clinton, when you think about the
general election map if Donald Trump blows this thing out and
it's a Hillary Clinton match against Trump, what should voters
be thinking about this week in terms of what Bernie Sanders'
candidacy would look like up against Donald Trump versus
your wife?
BILL CLINTON: I don't think like that. I think what voters
should be thinking about this week is who is most likely to
make my life, my children and grandchildren's lives and this
country a place of shared prosperity, a force of security and
peace and a place where we come together around solving
our common social problems like [inaudible]. Who would be
better?

QUESTION: But do you-
BILL CLINTON: The politics will take care of itself if people
make the right decision about who's the most likely to have a
positive impact.
QUESTION: And do you think the conventional wisdom will
matter here for Donald Trump. I mean, if you've got Cruz
who's got a better ground game, but Trump's got five million
Twitter followers?
BILL CLINTON: I have no idea. I have no idea. It depends
on whether it's an evidence-free or an evidence-matters
election. It depends on whether people vote for someone who
has a real chance to help them make their lives better. Those
things are imponderable.
Anger can be a good thing, properly channeled.
Apprehensiveness can be a good thing, properly channeled.
It depends on how it shakes out. All we can do, all she can do
is be who she is, who she's been all her life. I think it will be in
the end what the American people want.
QUESTION: Do you think those people who are really angry
-- do you see an opportunity for a crossover between a
Clinton and a Trump voter?
BILL CLINTON: Well, I think first of all she's the very first
person to say, "Hey I know they vote Republican. We ought to
do something for Coal Country." We have not done a good
job in America in dealing with the areas that get hurt from
globalization or from the rise of climate change or anything
else.
Coal employment in American peaked 95 years ago. It's not
like we just learned about this. Thousands of jobs were lost
when President Bush, ostensibly a pro-coal president was in
office because he couldn't stop the rise of natural gas.
QUESTION: Yes.
BILL CLINTON: And so look, I think there's
an opportunity for everybody to get votes everywhere if you
run a people-centered campaign and you trust people to
think. You've got to really trust people. You've got to say,
"There's a lot of stuff you've got to let go."
There's a lot of stuff you've got to step away from. If you run a
people-centered campaign that's future oriented, I think
there's opportunity everywhere.

Mason City, IA
OPEN PRESS
Ropeline
Took about 10 questions on the ropeline, most notably
one about the NH "debate" and Sanders' decision to
skip it. WJC said it's up to Sanders to decide what he'll
do, but that HRC has said that if folks agreed to show
up that she'd be there.
The rest were Q's about the economy, Trump
channeling anger, and the state of the race here. WJC
stuck to most of what he's been saying.
He didn't break anything, but I'll send a transcript
around shortly nonetheless.
Color | New | Flags
WJC opened his speech by saying that HRC was in
Adele earlier today. And that soon enough folks here will
have the entire family in the state. He joked that
Charlotte will be the difference-maker this election. That
she can persuade him to do anything.
Recycled his 3Ds line & joked that you almost have to
admire the GOP, because what's a fact here and there -
that they live in a fact-free world.
Said we can't allow for the perfect to be the enemy of
the good, that HRC will get the show on the road. That
there's only one person who's a proven change maker
on hostile territory and that's really important.
Reiterated that every single attempt to pass health care
has always required 60 votes. That he and HRC were
the first to do so. And that yeah they weren't successful,
but that she ultimately got CHIP with Kennedy.
Said Newt told him that HRC was brilliant in the senate.
Said we have to deal with what we've got, i.e.: sixty
Republicans in Congress.
Used his Flint bit, which got noticed.
References the Obama interview, saying he said that
she's ready to be President.
Remarks
He started by covering a couple of issues, including
climate change and immigration.

He then had a bit of fun with the GOP, saying that
they're masters at labeling and blaming. (Insert 3Ds
line).
Followed that up by making a lot of the biographical
points he's been making on the trail. He talked about
her time as a public citizen (insert health care line), as a
Senator from NY, and as SoS.
Covered the economy: asked rhetorically: You don't
mind if Warren Buffet makes money if he creates jobs,
don't you?; and made the case why HRC will make the
economy work for ever American again. He also
said she's the only person running for President that
went to Wall St. to speak against speculation.
Talked Flint. (Used his usual line).
Closed pretty strongly by saying she's the best change
maker he's met. (Insert Obama line).

Sorry, on phone so focused more on overall thoughts than line edits.
Can call you directly if any of this is unclear. Sending to all so people

I originally flagged HRC's Maddow remarks as potentially problematic
in part because her wording closely linked her to two unfavorable
policies of the past even as no one in the community was asking her
to "own" them. Given that, my recommendation would be to make this
statement about just her, her evolution, and her record -- not bring in
WJC.
Relatedly, if we release a statement tonight, it will very clearly be in
response to the Maddow interview. To the extent we can, I advocate
for owning that so that we can clean this up completely, rightly
position her as a champion of LGBT issues, and make sure we move
on from any discussion of looming amendments or her being involved
in passing either DADT or DOMA. Without getting into the weeds, can
we say that the broader point is that the country is in a different place
now on LGBT issues -- and thank goodness it is -- and that she's so
happy each policy has been placed in the dustbin of history?
Last thought: I have raised this a few times to a smaller number of
people on this thread but will flag this for the larger group as well. At
Keene State College, she specifically cited friends playing a part in
her evolution, which we echo here. That's fine, IMO, and quite
believable. But if I were a reporter and wanted to keep the evolution
story alive, I would start asking which friends she was talking to and
ask us to provide them. Not a problem per se, but I think it is worth
flagging now so we aren't caught by surprise later.

STATEMENT
In 2013, when the Supreme Court was considering whether to
uphold the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Bill and I explained
publicly how and why we became strong supporters of marriage
equality. Bill, who signed DOMA nearly twenty years ago after an
overwhelming vote in Congress, called the law a discriminatory
vestige of a less tolerant America and urged the Court to strike it
down. I added my voice in support of marriage equality “personally
and as a matter of policy and law.” As I said then, LGBT Americans
are full and equal citizens and they deserve the full and equal
rights of citizenship. Like so many others, my personal views have
been shaped over time by people I have known and loved, by my
experience representing our nation on the world stage, my
devotion to law and human rights, and the guiding principles of my
faith. That’s why, as a Senator, I pushed for laws that would
extend protections to the LGBT community in the workplace and
that would make violence towards LGBT individuals a hate crime.
And as Secretary of State, I put LGBT rights on the global agenda
and told the world that “gay rights are human rights and human
rights are gay rights.” In my speech last night in Iowa, I didn’t look
back to the America of the past, I looked forward to the America we
need to build together. I pledged to fight for LGBT Americans who,
despite all our progress, in many places can still get married on
Saturday and fired on Monday just because of who they are and
who they love. In this campaign and as President, I will keep
fighting for equality and opportunity for every American.

country by using gay marriage, which had very little support then, as a wedge

both houses of Congress and President Clinton signed it with serious reservations

last 20 years and most Americans, including the Supreme Court, now embrace

Bill Clinton: It’s time to overturn DOMA
The writer is the 42nd president of the United States.
Jh 1996, I signed the Defense of Marriage Act. Although
that was only 17 years ago, it was a very different time.
In no state in the union was same-sex marriage
recognized, much less available as a legal right, but
10/18/2016

some were moving in that direction. Washington, as a
result, was swirling with all manner of possible
responses, some quite draconian. As a bipartisan group
of former senators stated in their March 1 amicus brief to
the Supreme Court, many supporters of the bill known as
DOMA believed that its passage “would defuse a
movement to enact a constitutional amendment banning
gay marriage, which would have ended the debate for a
generation or more.” It was under these circumstances
that DOMA came to my desk, opposed by only 81 of the
535 members of Congress.
On March 27, DOMA will come before the Supreme
Court, and the justices must decide whether it is
consistent with the principles of a nation that honors
freedom, equality and justice above all, and is therefore
constitutional. As the president who signed the act into
law, I have come to believe that DOMA is contrary to
those principles and, in fact, incompatible with our
Constitution.
Because Section 3 of the act defines marriage as being
between a man and a woman, same-sex couples who
are legally married in nine states and the District of
Columbia are denied the benefits of more than a
thousand federal statutes and programs available to
other married couples. Among other things, these
couples cannot file their taxes jointly, take unpaid leave
to care for a sick or injured spouse or receive equal
family health and pension benefits as federal civilian
employees. Yet they pay taxes, contribute to their
communities and, like all couples, aspire to live in
committed, loving relationships, recognized and
respected by our laws.
When I signed the bill, I included a statement with the
admonition that “enactment of this legislation should not,
despite the fierce and at times divisive rhetoric
surrounding it, be understood to provide an excuse for
discrimination.” Reading those words today, I know now
that, even worse than providing an excuse for
discrimination, the law is itself discriminatory. It should be
overturned.
We are still a young country, and many of our landmark
civil rights decisions are fresh enough that the voices of
their champions still echo, even as the world that
preceded them becomes less and less familiar. We have
yet to celebrate the centennial of the 19th Amendment,
but a society that denied women the vote would seem to
us now not unusual or old-fashioned but alien. I believe
that in 2013 DOMA and opposition to marriage equality
are vestiges of just such an unfamiliar society.
Americans have been at this sort of a crossroads often
enough to recognize the right path. We understand that,
while our laws may at times lag behind our best natures,
in the end they catch up to our core values. One
hundred fifty years ago, in the midst of the Civil War,

The answer is of course and always yes. In that spirit, I

LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
Dear John,
In the face of the most anti-environment House of Representatives in history, LCV has succeeded in leveraging our unique blend of insider
tactics and outsider pressure to make progress on climate change and to protect our air, water and wild places.
Your partnership in this work continues to have a real impact. Already you've helped mobilize tens of thousands of LCV members across the
country to call on Resident Obama to take decisive steps to curb dangerous carbon pollution. And, you've helped urge his administration to use
the bully pulpit to elevate the issue of climate disruptions and climate solutions in the public discourse.
So I hope you were as proud as I was when President Obama went before Congress and drew a line in the sand for Congress to act on
climate change. Congratulations and thank you. Our journey is far from over, but we are moving forward.
Enjoy the Environmental Majority Council update below and as always, please reach out if you have any questions or feedback.
Onward,
Gene

generations, I will. "

- 1 75 House members and 1 7 Senators earned an abysmal score of 1 0 percent or less.
- The average House score in 2012 was 42 percent and the average Senate score was 56 percent.
Of course, you already know much of this. Given the high stakes before us, we need to reach millions more people to ensure they know how
their legislator is voting. That's why we've completely overhauled our Scorecard website to make it easier for you to access and share the
information not just from this year, but every year since the National Environmental Scorecard was first released in 1 971 . If you haven't yet
seen it, I hope you will take a look by clicking here.

LCV's National Poll on Climate Change Released
Earlier this month, LCV released a poll conducted before the Resident's State of the Union address which showed an overwhelming
majority of American voters view climate change as a real and tangible problem, with 61 % saying the effects of climate change are
already affecting them personally or will in their lifetime. Sixty-five percent of Americans support "the President taking significant steps to
address climate change now," including 89 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of independents and 38 percent of Republicans.
To read more about the poll and its results, please read our detailed memo or check out this Huffinaton Post article on the poll.
LCV & State LCVs Annual Conference in May
Please join me for LCV and State LCVs Annual Conference, which will be held on May 2-4, 2013 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We are at a
crossroads. We can either rebuild power to solve the greatest environmental challenges before us, or we can allow special interests to gut
longstanding environmental regulations and foster inaction on the climate crisis. The next generation is counting on us to safeguard our planet.
With your partnership, we will succeed.
Join environmental leaders from around the country for an up close experience of what makes the LCV state/national network so strategic and
effective. If interested in attending or to learn more, please contact Josh Hicks at (202) 454-4565 or josh hicks@lcv.ora . This is one
conference you don't want to miss!
G/VeGreen: Because not all money is "green"
Recently, LCV Action Fund endorsed Congressman Ed Markey, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Congressman Markey
has earned an impressive LCV lifetime score of 94%. Even more importantly, there's no greater environmental champion in Congress than Ed
Markey. He has made addressing the climate crisis and advancing clean energy the cause of his career. He has also been the biggest
champion of the effort to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He'll be a true leader in the United States Senate. To read more about
LCV Action Fund's endorsement of Rep. Ed Markey for U.S. Senate, please click here.
We hope you will join us in supporting Congressman Ed Markey, who is featured on LCV Action Fund's GiveGreen website,
www.aiveareen.com , the only bundling website devoted exclusively to raising money for environmental champions and candidates.
Bundling through GiveGreen magnifies the power of your contribution by calling attention to the environmental values that drive you to support
the candidate in the first place.

Subject: More than 5% Accessible Housing Units
More than 5% Accessible Housing Units. Information Bulletin #396 (12/2014)
Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1 973, recipients of "federal financial assistance" were prohibited
from discriminating. It took nearly 15 years for HUD to finally promulgate what nondiscrimination meant in the
housing arena. Then in 1 988, HUD's federal regulations set a floor - 5% of federally funded housing had to be
mobility accessible for people with mobility disabilities (and another 1% for hearing and visual disabilities).
For a number of years, the disability community could not enforce the 5% minimum, even though we believed it
was grossly too low and inadequate. Even with the 1990 and 2000 census, we did not have a handle to push
higher than 5%.
Now, with the 2010 census we can. The primary federal financial assistance housing programs that the 2010
census impacts are the HOME Investment Partnership, Project Based Housing Vouchers, and Public Housing.
HUD's federal regulation 24 CFR ? 8.22 (c ) states that HUD "may prescribe a high percentage ... upon request
... based upon demonstration ... based on census data...."
Disability Advocates - here's a suggested battle plan. First, you must use the Census's "American Fact Finder"
and determine for your county the percentage of persons "with an ambulatory difficulty" whose incomes are
under the poverty levels. It is critical to remember that this data does NOT include persons institutionalized in
nursing homes. Second, you must contact your local HUD FHEO office and request at the least that
prospectively HUD enforce the increased percentages.
To wet your interest, here are some preliminary results: Philadelphia, PA, 13.2%; Washington county, PA.15.3%,
Chicago, III, 9.4%; Baltimore, 13.8%; Orleans Parish, New Orleans, 10.65%; El Paso, TX 9.8%; Lafayette Parish
in Louisiana, 9.46%.
No more excuses! The data is now available. It's up to you, the advocates, to make it happen.

Subject: Big Labor Update
Good evening-
I sent this email to a broader group this evening since there are many updates that I know touch different
people. Please let me know if you have any questions. I have shared a tracking spreadsheet with many of you
on this email thread. If you don't have it, but would like me to share it, let me know. I will track in this
spreadsheet the member to member work in states that unions have been willing to share. This is not
exhaustive, but should be a helpful snapshot of where things are moving. I will continue to keep this updated.
-I am going to be prioritizing outreach to the building trades unions to push them on member program, building
out hardhats events, outstate buses and staff deployment in state. In Iowa, I am building a GP surrogate
program to engage trades members with the IA campaign.
-New Hampshire: Monday weekly at 9am-NH Labor Call starting Monday, December 21st, 2015. Invited:
National Political Directors, MA labor leaders and NH labor leaders. Each call with be joined by NH Political
Director Kari Thurman and Mayor Walsh's campaign manager Megan Costello. Kari will be outlining specific
asks and goals on each call.
-Iowa: We are planning twice a week Iowa labor calls with National Political Directors and IA labor leaders and
the IA team starting on Monday, January 1 1 th at 1 :30pm. Monday calls will outline specific weekly goals and
Thursday calls will report out on sign ups for weekend of action. Before January 1 1th we will continue weekly
check in calls through the holidays.
-Nevada: January 7th National Political Directors (confirmed today Monroe, LIUNA) come to Las Vegas to join
labor meeting with in state building trades leaders and Nevada team, walk thru specific asks and needs. I will be
doing individual follow up with Carpenters, NEA and AFSCME and Team Nevada this day.
Immediate Needs for Direction:
1 . UFCW Endorsement-We are on track to receive the UFCW/RWDSU endorsement on January 1 1th. They will
do this by phone from Des Moines, IA. They are requesting that HRC, post Black Brown debate, stop by a
UFCW/RWDSU rally to thank them for the endorsement in Des Moines. Prior to the debate, we can release joint
statements announcing the endorsement. I have spoken with Team Iowa about this and they are on board with
a post-debate stop by. I would like to lock this in and then they can start planning. Is this possible?
2. ATU-Would HRC participate in a public transit forum in Iowa with ATU members? The goal with ATU is to
keep them neutral. Neutral has value with the AFL-CIO endorsement. They are asking if HRC would be willing
to participate in the forum in Iowa on January 1 6th. I do not know if this is possible with the IA team. And if not, I
would like to revisit releasing her teletown hall remarks with ATU members which was very good but because of
a slight-over statement on privatization release was shut down. I'd like to revisit this as a way for us to offer
something to ATU if the forum will not work out.
3. Call Sheets: 4 calls total broken down below=2 new endorsements
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 100
-2 calls OPEIU-Former President Mike Goodwin and New President Lanigan (I believe they will endorse after)
-1 call lAM-Congratulate New Machinists President Bob Martinez
-1 call IBEW Local 3-There will be three leaders on one call, HRC provides a brief hello and ask for their
endorsement. They will endorse. See note below.
4. IATSE (83,000 members + ability to move Nevada program)-They would really like to endorse but they would
also really like us to sign a MOU with their union to use their members for events. We are using IATSE for our
events today, just without the MOU. I have spoken with Vice Chair a few times about this and have gotten
concessions from IATSE. ..specifically that a MOU wouldn't go into effect until April 1st, post early state/March
primaries. They will also adjust required hotel accommodations from 60 miles to 90 miles of travel, making it a
very unlikely cost to incur. IATSE has also flagged for me that vendors often do their own mark up of labor
which a MOU would definitely head off. It would add some additional work for Advance/Vice Chair office to
facility. Obama signed this agreement in 2012. I'm hopeful we can sign for April 1st.
Notes:
1. Labor has added a additional 39 leadership names to Leadership Councils in the following states since
December 9th: AZ, AR, LA, MS, NE, NC, OH, AK, HI, ID, IL, UT and WA. We continue to reach out and build.
Thank you to my intern Peter Berg for his help.
2. I assisted the Massachusetts team with labor build for the NH planning meeting on Friday, December 18th.
The meeting was well attended and led to setting up NH labor calls on Mondays at 9am with Walsh Team, NH
team and National/State labor.
3. MOU-I have noted in the spreadsheet the unions that are supporting a coordinated labor effort. This is
important and something as a campaign we should continue to strongly encourage. When up and running it will
be a shared data set of union membership lists for coordinated canvass and phone program. They are 75% of
the way there but need to finalize a few remaining pieces, most notably where the data will be housed. In 2008,
it was AFL-CIO LAN but with the NEA it is likely going to be AV VAN.
4. Hillary Victory Fund-Labor has committed and is sending $865K toward HVF in 2015. There are a few
additional outstanding requests (noted in the spreadsheet) that should take us over $1 million. I will make follow
up calls on Monday.
3. Data Swap-AFSCME is anxious to execute the data swap with us effective Jan. 4th. I'm working with Simon
Vance on executing this. NEA is on hold until NGPVAN provides additional information. We are hopeful this will
be resolved soon. The swap is with four early states now and will expand to CO and MN next.
4. NEA hosting a Early States/March states member message training in Washington DC from Jan. 22nd-24th
with 5 NEA members from each of the following states to be trained spokespeople/supporters of HRC. States
participating: CO, MN, VA, KS, FL, SC, AR, GA, TX, LA, MS, Ml, MO, NC, OH. They have asked us to join for
this training and I am working with paid media.
5. January 12th-We are hosting a General President message meeting with the campaign. John Podesta is
hosting with the paid media team. We will be inviting National Political Directors as well in Washington DC from
9am-1 1am.
6. I will be sending separately a list of 2016 Union Conventions that many endorsed unions are setting as
priorities since we missed conventions in 2015. I just want to start flagging now and will send a comprehensive
list very soon.
7. AFL-CIO Endorsement Numbers and Update:
Based on per capita and the real AFL-CIO vote, which we need 2/3 or 6.2 million members of the 9.3 million
AFL-CIO members.
AFL-CIO Executive Council meetings February 21 -22nd, which seems to be remain the most likely timeframe for
10/18/2016

HRC endorsement.
Today HFA has 4.1 million (44%)
Today Sanders has 831,908 (9%)
Including UFCW, IATSE, OPEIU, SMART, Seafarers, MEBA, TWU=1 ,548,981 (New HFA AFL-CIO Total 5.6
million)
In order to cross 6.2 million I think the most possible outreach is UAW (400K) plus the Letter Carriers (181 K).
• UFCW/RWDSU (1,030,981 members + Iowa field support + NY phone space + NH buses)-lf we can confirm
HRC to do a endorsement event in Iowa with President Marc Perrone and Stuart Appelbaum, they will
endorse via EBoard phone vote on January 1 1th. I've spoken with Matt Paul and he is supportive of the
idea. In addition, they would like help with delegates (I have spoken with David), reconnect with policy (I
can facilitate) and HRC town hall with members before March in a March primary state (perhaps in
Colorado on immigration, where UFCW is very big).
• OPEIU (102,401 members + deployed people for HRC in 2008)-The wanted to endorse on December 14th
in Midtown but HRC schedule couldn't permit. Two phone calls, 1. Outgoing President Michael Goodwin
and 2. Incoming new President Rich Lanigan, would very likely just get the endorsement done. Goodwin
retired at the 12/14 meeting, which was why the push then.
• IBEW Local 3 (10,000 members across NY + buses to NY + NY phone bankers)-! am working with the big
New York IBEW Local union to make a independent endorsement form their Inti soon. The Inti is allowing
local unions to endorse this year (crazy but true). Its important that we get a IBEW Local union
endorsement on the board because Sanders has been collecting small ones in the NE, approximately 8
local IBEW unions. IBEW Local 3 is very open to endorsing, they would just need one call with their three
top leaders on the phone with HRC, she'd ask for their support, and they'll do it.
• Other unions to come on board, before February 1st I estimate: Seafarers, MEBA, SMART, TWU (total
members=333,000 members)
• ATU-We need to keep them neutral. After CWA's endorsement, ATU would be the next to go to Sanders.
I've been dragging my feet and their requests slow walking but we're at a point where we need to decide
engagement. I don't want to lose them to Sanders but I think it creates more distension within the AFL-CIO,
which is not helpful if we want to put this to bed.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Subject: Island energy
Hi Ami,
I wanted to keep you in the loop because we've talked about this before, and because I know the President is
passionate about helping islands.
The UNDP has indicated they want to support CCI, via the SIDS DOCK Island Fund. This is a $100mn fund that
was established at the Copenhagen conference ($40mn has been raised to date).
We are considering a new approach, to structure the initiative as a "contest" - challenging the private sector (ie
GE, Siemens, Vestas, etc) to design an innovative island-wide renewable energy plan. Something that takes a
specific island to a specific target - say 80% or even 100% renewables (wind, solar, waste, hydro). The
"winning" plan would be financed via the SIDS DOCK fund.
The UN feels they have the funding to support 5-6 participating islands, although realistically only 2-3 island
governments will be "ready" to be a part of the program this year. Possibilities include Mauritius, Maldives,
Grenada, Tonga and others, but it's still TBD.
The idea would be to announce the initiative and the contest at the Rio 20 conference in June. My question to
you is whether there may be interest from the Clinton Foundation in jointly sponsoring this, and possibly
announcing the winners at CGI next September? Especially if the theme of the event will be energy.
The early part of next year would be spent getting this message out to island governments, vetting the potential
target islands, structuring the program, etc.
Concurrently, CCI would develop the legislative roadmap, business models, etc, that would be needed to
implement the projects.
All of this is still in concept stage, and we're likely going to meet with the UN again in New York in early January
along with representatives from SIDS (Small Island Developing States) to develop this further.
Would love to hear your thoughts...
Happy holidays
Darien

other suggestions we have here are Join the Fight and It's Your Time to
put the focus on voters, but realize neither really captures our message.
If we are going to change the signs we need to finalize the new language by
cob today to start production. I thought we would start this conversation
and brainstorming via email, but if we want to get on the phone at some
point today too that works.
First, do you think we should change? Second, ideas on what the new sign
should say? Once we have your input we'll loop in Robby, John and
Huma to make a final decision. Thanks.

John -- A candid memo, if I may. As Cassandra knows, I feel a bit of tension with Jeanne in the shaping of "the"
decision memo and workplan. I haven't read the latest so-called "final" draft, but will try to do so tonight. The
fact that she sent it directly to you and Chris Lu gives me pause. (My education and immigration team leaders
would not do that.) Much of this, of course, is traceable to how the membership of the health team came about.
(Water under the bridge.) Part of it is also that I've tried to be exceptionally light-handed given your
relationships and Daschle's stature. Perhaps you instructed Jeanne to proceed this way, although that would be
uncharacteristic of you. I assume not.
But, until you instruct otherwise, I'm going to pretend that I'm still responsible for ensuring quality control,
including fidelity to Barack's agenda/interests.
This is getting more difficult, because it doesn't at all seem that the needed Hill consultations have taken place.
More after I go through the memo carefully. Ciao.

Friend,
Tomorrow is your first chance to cast a ballot for Governor Quinn.
Yep, early voting starts Monday.
There are Early Vote locations throughout your area, and you can
vote at any one of them, any day of the week -- many of them are
even open on weekends.
So, really, why wait?
Add your name to say you'll vote early:
Yes, I'll vote early.
No, but I'll vote on Election Day.
Voting early is a win-win.
Not only is it easier and faster than voting on Election Day, it’s a big
part of our strategy to stop Bruce Rauner.
By asking supporters to vote early, volunteers can focus on the
voters who need to hear from us most.
That could give us a huge advantage going into Election Day, but it
only works if everyone pitches in.
Let's show the Governor we have his back -- commit to
vote early:

supporters as possible to vote early?

Wall Street Journal: Crowds Swell at Romney Rallies After Ryan Pick
John --
I just got this disturbing report: Yesterday's Romney-Ryan rally in North Carolina pulled in an
overflow crowd of 15,000 people.
There's no spinning that number. It's a LOT of people, and the Republican base in energized.
And that's not all. Since the VP announcement, Romney's campaign has brought in over 70,000
donations from his Tea Party base.
We've got to step up our game and mobilize our supporters -- starting right now.
Donate S3 or right now to help us rally our base around President Obama's agenda >>
Listen to what one Republican supporter said about Paul Ryan: "I love him. ..He's going to excite the
Tea Party and get them on board..."
We can't let the Republicans claim the momentum. Donate $3 or whatever you can:

Subject: [big campaign] McCain Donors Agree, McCain Would be Worse Than Bush
"He's like a worse copy than Bush," Mr. Makhlouf said of Mr. McCain.
(said Abdullah Makhlouf, the owner of a discount stereo store who is one of Mr. Abdullah's closest friends, and
his wife contributed $9,200.)
August 7, 2008
NYT: Family's Donations to McCain Raise Questions
Bv MICHAEL LUO
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The Jordanian business partner of a prominent Florida businessman, who has raised more
than $500,000 for Senator John McCain , appears to be at the center of a cluster of questionable donations to
his presidential campaign.
Campaign finance records show Mr. McCain collected a little more than $50,000 in March from members of a
single extended family, the Abdullahs, in California and several of their friends.
Amid a sea of contributions to the McCain campaign, the Abdullahs stand out. The checks come not from the
usual exclusive coastal addresses, but from relatively hardscrabble inland towns like Downey and Colton. The
donations are also startling because of their size: several donors initially wrote checks of $9,200, exceeding the
$2,300 limit for an individual gift.
Making matters murkier, some couples in the family who contributed more than $9,000 to Mr. McCain also gave
the maximum in December to either Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton or Rudolph W. Giuliani , or both,
totaling in the case of at least one family more than $18,000.
On Wednesday, an article in The Washington Post said the donations were collected by Harry Sargeant III, a
Florida businessman who has also raised money for Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Giuliani.
It appears, however, that Mr. Sargeant, the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and the part-
owner of a major oil trading firm, International Oil Trading Company, did not actually solicit the donations from
the Abdullahs and their friends.
That task fell to a longtime business partner, Mustafa Abu Naba'a. Mr. Sargeant said in an interview that he has
known Mr. Abu Naba'a for more than a decade and has worked with him on commercial ventures, including a
contract with the Pentagon to supply fuel to the military in Iraq.
Through Mr. Abu Naba'a's connections, Mr. Sargeant has raised more than $100,000 in contributions from
several dozen Arab Americans in California, including the Abdullahs, for four candidates: Mrs. Clinton, Mr.
Giuliani, Mr. McCain and Charlie Crist in his successful campaign for Florida governor in 2006. Mr. Crist is a
close friend and college fraternity brother of Mr. Sargeant.
Several of the donors were emphatic in interviews that they had made the contributions on their own and had
not been reimbursed. Indeed, while the donors do not fit the typical profile of people who often make large
political donations, it appears many have made relatively successful livings, toiling away at small businesses they
own: an auto repair shop, a discount stereo warehouse, a realty company.
Brian Rogers, a spokesman for Mr. McCain, said the campaign strictly followed campaign finance laws and as a
general rule would look into a matter if flags were raised, but he declined to say whether it would look into the
contributions tied to Mr. Sargeant.
Mr. Sargeant is a former Marine fighter pilot who has business interests around the world. He hosted a fund-
raiser for Mr. McCain at his lavish home in Delray Beach, Fla., this year. Mr. Sargeant estimated he had raised
10/18/2016

Page 121
more than $200,000 for Mr. Giuliani and helped a business associate raise a similar amount for Mrs. Clinton.
But Mr. Sargeant's business dealings have caused controversy. Representative Henry Waxman, Democrat of
California, opened an investigation last month into whether his company has been overcharging the military for
its contract in Iraq, although Mr. Sargeant said Mr. Waxman's office had an erroneous understanding of what
the company was billing.
As for his political fund-raising, Mr. Sargeant said he often turned to his business associates and asked them to
solicit their extended families, although Mr. Sargeant said he was unclear exactly how Mr. Abu Naba'a knew the
Abdullahs in California.
Mr. Sargeant said Mr. Abu Naba'a, who has a home in Florida, was unavailable for an interview because he was
abroad.
Faisal Abdullah, a Palestinian immigrant who works as a director of operations of a window treatment
company, identified himself in an interview as the driver behind the McCain donations from his relatives and
friends. He sent them to Mr. Abu Naba'a, whom Mr. Abdullah described as an acquaintance.
Mr. Abdullah is an unlikely McCain fund-raiser, admitting he had soured on the Republican Party as a result of
President Bush.
Nevertheless, he said that he harbored vague designs on a political career and that a discussion with Mr. Abu
Naba'a gave him the idea that fund-raising was a way to get started. He said he initially collected numerous
$500 checks for Mr. Crist from relatives and friends, and late last year, set out to raise money for the
presidential campaign.
Mr. Abdullah said he cajoled a few relatives into giving the maximum donations to Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Giuliani,
the early front-runners last year.
But when Mr. McCain claimed the mantle of presumed Republican nominee in March, Mr. Abdullah decided to
support him.
"This is the horse I'm betting on for the future," Mr. Abdullah said.
He told his friends and relatives that the contributions were tax-deductible, something he later seemed surprised
to learn from a reporter was not true. Many in his circle appear to have little affection for Mr. McCain but said
they gave mostly as a favor to Mr. Abdullah.
Abdullah Makhlouf, the owner of a discount stereo store who is one of Mr. Abdullah's closest friends, and his
wife contributed $9,200.
"He's like a worse copy than Bush," Mr. Makhlouf said of Mr. McCain.
When a reporter initially contacted Mr. Makhlouf, he denied giving to the McCain campaign.
After eventually admitting to the donation, Mr. Makhlouf added, "I'm still not going to vote for him."

June 4 - Nov. 27
Susan Kleinberg is participating in TRA: Edge of Becoming at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, opening June 4, through November 27, 201 1 .
TRA: Edge of Becoming is an exhibition that explores the inter-connectedness between place, history, creativity and universal wisdom, curated
by Daniella Ferretti, Rosa Martinez, Francesco Poli and Axel Vervoordt.
TRA means a passage through an open doorway. A gateway to what lies beyond. The threshold of thought. The expansion of perception. The
energy within the void. The power of beginnings. TRA forges new passages of perspective and possibility through the transformative experience
of art with the will of enhancing revelation and knowledge.

Hi all,
I'd like to offer an additional policy idea on health care. My recommendation would be to not have HRC
focus her health care views on the ACA itself, but to offer new ideas assuming the ACA is here to stay; talk
past it so to speak so she doesn't get sucked into a debate on its merits.
I'm attaching a CAP paper just put out on our proposal to redress rising out of pocket costs for all
employees (not in the ACA).
As part of our middle class squeeze work we found that health care costs for individuals have risen despite
national health care expenditures leveling off; so costs have shifted from employers to employees. The
paper documents the cost shift and how employers and providers have benefitted from national health
expenditures and specifies a few policies, including increased transparency.
Offering up for the mix of ideas.

NEW YORK (AP) — A nexus of Democratic groups is preparing for Hillary Rodham Clinton's widely anticipated presidential campaign.
Ready for Hillary, a Democratic super PAC unaffiliated with the former secretary of state, is convening a daylong meeting of Clinton insiders on
Friday for strategy sessions aimed at helping elect Clinton if she runs. The closed-door planning session about two weeks after Democrats' dismal
midterm election performance comes as Clinton, the party's leading presidential contender, considers whether she will seek the presidency again
in 2016.
Ready for Hillary will join leaders of Democratic groups Priorities USA Action, American Bridge 21 st Century and Correct the Record to review the
201 4 elections and prepare for next year. In some cases, the groups will be wrapping up their efforts while others are beginning to ramp up.
"Everyone has a lane," said former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, the co-chair of Priorities USA Action and an adviser to Ready for Hillary. "We
are going to work together and seamlessly so there's no infighting."
Ready for Hillary, which was founded in 201 3, has signed up more than 1 .5 million people promising to help Clinton if she runs and has raised more
than $10 million to harness a grassroots community of volunteers for Clinton. The group expects to fold if Clinton launches her presidential
campaign and then transfer its data and list of supporters to the former first lady's campaign.
Priorities USA Action, a Democratic super FAC that raised $70 million in 201 2 to air tough ads targeting Republican Mitt Romney, has maintained a
low profile this year but is reconnecting with donors to prepare for next year. Correct the Record, a rapid-response media organization that has
defended Clinton in her post-State Department period, expects to continue as a part of research arm American Bridge.
The gathering is not authorized by Clinton, who will be speaking at an event in New York on Friday promoting the use of cook stoves in developing
nations. But it will feature plenty of Democrats who have worked with her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton: ex-White House adviser
Harold Ickes; Clinton campaign strategists James Carville and Paul Begala; Jonathan Mantz, who served as Hillary Clinton's national finance
director; and Karen Finney, a former Hillary Clinton campaign aide.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, a former Iowa governor who backed Clinton's presidential campaign, will speak at the meeting as a private
citizen, aides said.
Donors will also hear from Democratic strategists who could play senior roles in a future Clinton campaign, including Guy Cecil, the executive
director of the Senate Democrats' campaign arm and a former Hillary Clinton campaign aide; Stephanie Schriock, the president of EMILY'S List; Ace
Smith, a California-based Democratic strategist who directed Hillary Clinton's 2008 primary campaigns in three states; and Mitch Stewart, a former
Obama campaign aide who has advised Ready for Hillary.

The complicated political machine known as Clintonland is revving its engine, as outside groups, top donors, and prospective aides begin preparing
for an anticipated formal announcement of her presidential candidacy early next year. In the coming week alone there will be a half-dozen
fundraisers aimed at greasing the path toward her 2016 debut. Some events are aimed at scooping up checks for existing pro-Clinton groups,
while others will pocket financial "commitments" for a future campaign account.
The main event is Friday's all-day donor gathering in New York City, featuring Clinton confidants from Arkansas to the State Department. Next up,
would-be campaign financiers are holding 30-person dinners in Newark and New York City. They're like traditional fundraisers-all they lack is a
candidate.
While people close to Clinton caution that no final decisions have been made, they say the former secretary of state has shifted her focus from
public events and paid speeches to private conversations about the guts of a campaign-messaging, staff, money. Her goal, they say, is to launch
with a fully formed political operation.
That would be difficult for any candidate, but that's particularly so for one with the last name Clinton. Unlike President Barack Obama, who's known
for his tight circle of friends and advisers, the Clinton universe is a sprawling international club of foreign dignitaries, Hollywood stars and moguls,
former administration officials and Wall Street executives. The vastness worries some supporters, who fret that the hordes of people who
consider themselves close to the Clintons could complicate strategy. They want to avoid a campaign besieged by unsolicited advice, competing
interests, and fierce rivalries. It's not so much a nightmare as a flashback to the 2008 primary.
Within months of Clinton leaving the State Department in 2013, four outside groups declared themselves devoted to her potential candidacy and
formed a sort of campaign-in-waiting, each with its own fiefdom. Priorities USA Action, the big-money super-FAC, plans to handle paid media.
Emily's List, a group that backs the campaigns of Democratic women who support abortion rights, started Madam President as an early effort to
assess voter views on the idea of a female president. Correct the Record, founded by Clinton backer David Brock, has established itself as the
research arm, publicly defending her from Republican attacks. And Ready for Hillary, which has a list of 3 million supporters to sell her campaign if
she gets in the race, is the base camp for activists.
"I felt like the rationale of grassroots support and building lists is a really important lesson she learned from the last go-round," said Jennifer
Selendy, a litigation partner at Kirkland & Blis in New York, who donated $25,000 to Ready for Hillary. "If she gets into the race, I'm sure I will
contribute."
While the groups have tried to define separate missions, there's some overlap, including among major donors whose checks come with a fair
number of opinions.
Already, Clinton's circle is engaged in an internal debate over when she should formally announce her candidacy. Some argue that sooner is
better, allowing her to maximize the time her campaign and supportive super-PACs have to raise money for what's expected to be at least a $1
billion enterprise. Others-friends, mostly-say Clinton should take her time because the moment she announces she'll be pounded with Republican
attacks. Why wear the "Hit Me" sign any sooner than necessary?
In the meantime, Clinton emissaries are quietly reaching out to possible staffers. And while political strategists in Washington have not quite started
looking for housing in White Plains, N.Y.-a city not far from the Clinton home in Chappaqua, and therefore a potential headquarters location-they've
begun speculating on the merits of living in New York City versus the suburbs.
Several Clintonites are being eyed for senior positions. Robby Mook, who managed the campaign of longtime Clinton fundraiser and Virginia
Governor Terry McAuliffe, is being considered as campaign manager. That possibility was underscored by a preliminary strike against him from an
opposing camp: the leak of his private messages from a 1 50-member "Mook Mafia" email list he ran with another Democratic operative.
Guy Cecil, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is another name mentioned by people close to Clinton for campaign
manager or another top position. White House counselor John Podesta, a former chief of staff during President Bill Clinton's administration, is on
any short list. "If she runs, as I hope she will, I will do whatever she asks me to do," he told Bloomberg's Al Hunt in an interview on Charlie Rose. "I
talk to her from time to time."
With the midterm elections over, Clinton's path to harness the Democratic Party is clear-so far, no serious 2016 primary challengers are on the
horizon. Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb, who lacks the campaign skills and machine of the Clintons, opened an exploratory committee this week.
A number of Obama's top aides have joined the organizations that will become part of her campaign apparatus, and at least a few top officials
who refused to back her eight years ago have already endorsed her candidacy. “I’m frequently introduced as the highest-ranking woman in U.S.

office; I’d like to give up that title. And soon,” House Minority Leader Nancy Ftelosi, who resisted endorsing Clinton in 2008, told a cheering crowd in
San Francisco last month.
The various components of the campaign-in-waiting now must decide their next steps, including whether to continue to exist.
Priorities USA Action officials are beginning to court big check-writers in one-on-one visits. The super-PAC says it won't formally accept donations
until Clinton announces. "We played a critical role in helping elect a Democratic president in 2012 and we look forward to doing the same in 2016,"
said Peter Kauffmann, a spokesman for the organization.
Ready for Hillary was designed to be different. Instead of hoarding piles of cash to unleash in a barrage of television ads, this group has existed
solely to cultivate a vast base of small donors for Clinton. It has spent nearly all of the $1 0 million it raised since two Clinton lifers set it up in
January 2013. Once Clinton announces, Ready for Hillary plans to lease its list of supporters to the campaign and is likely to dissolve. No matter its
future, Ready for Hillary served another purpose-locking down operatives and showing off Clinton's dominance to potential rivals. The group also
became a clearinghouse for surrogates such as Senators Mark Warner of Virginia, Chuck Schumer of New York, and Claire McCaskill of Missouri.
"For people wondering when we're done, we're done if and when she runs," said Tracy Sefl, an adviser to the group. "Right now, we're going to
keep doing the work and we're thrilled with what we're accomplishing."
Business Insider: “Hillary Clinton Praised Obama's Big Immigration Speech”
By Colin Campbell
November 20, 2014, 9:09 p.m. EST
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton strongly endorsed President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration reform minutes
after his speech concluded Thursday night.
"I support the president's decision to begin fixing our broken immigration system and focus finite resources on deporting felons rather than
families," Clinton said in a statement.
Clinton had previously avoided weighing in on the issue as it became apparent the Obama planned to take executive action.
In her reaction to the president's remarks, Clinton agreed with Obama's claim House Republicans forced him to unilaterally address immigration
reform. The Senate, which is currently controlled by Democrats, previously passed an immigration bill that stalled in the lower legislative chamber.
"I was hopeful that the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate in 2013 would spur the House of Representatives to act, but they refused even to
advance an alternative. Their abdication of responsibility paved the way for this executive action, which follows established precedent from
Presidents of both parties going back many decades. But, only Congress can finish the job by passing permanent bipartisan reform that keeps
families together," Clinton continued.
Clinton further urged the American public to take an even-keeled approach to the hot-button issue.
"Our disagreements on this important issue may grow heated at times, but I am confident that people of good will and good faith can yet find
common ground. We should never forget that we're not discussing abstract statistics we're talking about real families with real experiences. We're
talking about parents lying awake at night afraid of a knock on the door that could tear their families apart, people who love this country, work hard,
and want nothing more than a chance to contribute to the community and build better lives for themselves and their children," she said.

MSNBC: “Hillary Clinton: GOP ‘abdication’ forced Obama’s hand on immigration”
By Alex Seitz-Wald
November 20, 2014, 10:07 p.m. EST
In a rare public statement, Hillary Clinton said she supports President Obama’s new executive action on immigration, lamenting that Republicans
forced his hand.
“I support the president’s decision to begin fixing our broken immigration system and focus finite resources on deporting felons rather than
families,” the former secretary of state and likely presidential candidate said Thursday evening. “I was hopeful that the bipartisan bill passed by the
Senate in 2013 would spur the House of Representatives to act, but they refused even to advance an alternative. Their abdication of responsibility
paved the way for this executive action.”
Republicans have called the action a dangerous usurpation of executive authority. But Clinton, like her husband, said she thinks Obama’s move
follows “established precedent from Presidents of both parties going back many decades.”
Obama’s policy is expected to temporarily spare up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. The president announced the plan in a
speech Thursday night, saying many immigrants could finally “come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”
Clinton, like Obama, said Congress must “finish the job by passing permanent bipartisan reform.” That should both keep families together and
protect the border, she added.
“We should never forget that we’re not discussing abstract statistics - we’re talking about real families with real experiences. We’re talking about
parents lying awake at night afraid of a knock on the door that could tear their families apart,” Clinton said.
Like most Democrats, Clinton has long supported immigration reform, and was in the White House when her husband took his own executive
actions enforcing immigration laws. In the Senate, she voted in favor of overhaul supported by President Bush that ultimately failed.
During her 2008 presidential campaign, however, Clinton ran into some trouble when she waffled on her position on giving drivers licenses to
undocumented immigrants. This year, she’s been confronted and heckled by DREAMers, young undocumented immigrants, at several events.
The fact that Clinton even put out a statement at ail is notable. Since stepping down as secretary of state, she has kept a low profile and avoided
weighing in on issues of the day unless asked about them - and sometimes even then dodging. She has been criticized, for instance, for not taking
a stance on the Keystone XL pipeline and waiting to speak out on the events in Ferguson.
The quick, strong, and proactive response to Obama’s speech Thursday is usual, and could signal a new paradigm as she gets closer to a
potential campaign.

The Hill: “House Oversight chairman to put spotlight on Clinton. Benghazi”
By Cristina Marcos
November 20, 2014,4:15p.m. EST
The incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee plans to put the spotlight on Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with The Hill on Thursday in his Capitol Hill office, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) set out a broad agenda that will include hearings on
embassy security in light of the September 1 1 , 201 2 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead.
“Secretary Clinton created a fiasco. And we're going to investigate it,” Chaffetz said of the former secretary of State.
Benghazi is now under the jurisdiction of a House select committee, but Chaffetz indicated it is one of several issues spearheaded by outgoing
Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) that his panel will continue to monitor — even as Clinton is expected to prepare for a 201 6 White House
bid.
“Four years of her reign at State is something that we're still going to have to clean up and we have to address. We can't just ignore it,” Chaffetz
said.
Chaffetz said probes of the Secret Service, the Justice Department's “Fast and Furious” gun-tracing program and the Internal Revenue Service that
began under Issa will be ongoing.
“There are investigations, obviously, that will continue,” Chaffetz said.
Chaffetz suggested his inaugural hearing as chairman could be on the comments from ObamaCare consultant Jonathan Gruber that the healthcare
law passed because of voter “stupidity.”
But he's also “leaving open the possibility” to a hearing early in his term on President Obama's unilateral action to change immigration laws.
“It is on everybody's radar screen. I don't know if we would necessarily lead out on it, but we might,” Chaffetz said. “There are bigger, broader
issues with immigration and securing the border that I'm sure we will dive into. No doubt about it.”
Chaffetz said he thinks he can work effectively with Democrats and that he wants to avoid overtly personal confrontations that marred Issa’s
reputation.
“I don't want things to get personal,” Chaffetz said. “I want to be fair. I'm not going to let up on my tenacity or my passion on getting to the truth, but I
ultimately want to be fair.”
Chaffetz wants to hold hearings on the number of federal workers on paid administrative leave, something he thinks can be a bipartisan issue.
He cited an example of an Environmental Protection Agency employee who was placed on paid leave — but not fired — after he was caught
viewing porn on his computer for several hours a day.
“I can guarantee you we're going to have a hearing about the fact that there are more than 4,000 people on paid administrative leave. Four
thousand. We pay these people. It's like a paid vacation. That's not a partisan issue,” Chaffetz said.

Still other potential hearings on Chaffetz's list would be on the use of information technology across the federal government, public lands, renewal
of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program and postal reform.
While Democrats remain skeptical that Chaffetz will adhere to pledges to take a different approach than Issa, the new chairman thinks he can
improve relations with the other sie of the aisle.
For one, Chaffetz said he'll try to be more judicious with subpoenas. Issa came under criticism for issuing more than 1 00 subpoenas without the
sign-off from the committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.). At one hearing earlier this year, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen
insisted the subpoena was unnecessary given that he had willingly appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee just days earlier.
So far, Chaffetz hasn't heard from the Obama administration since winning the Oversight gavel apart from a congratulatory email from the White
House Office of Legislative Affairs.
But starting in January, they'll likely be at odds over the committee's investigations.
For his part, Chaffetz said he hopes he won't even have to issue a single subpoena during his tenure as chairman.
“I hope to never issue one. It's more dependent on the White House than it is on me,” Chaffetz said. “Subpoenas, in my mind, are a last resort.”
But Chaffetz warned he would subpoena documents or witnesses if it appears there's no other way to access them.
“If they are as open and transparent as they claim, I'll never have to issue one,” Chaffetz said. “But if they're going to play games and hide the
documents, then we're going to start issuing subpoenas.”
The New Republic: “Sherrod Brown Should Challenge Hillary Clinton for President”
By Michael Kazin
November 20, 2014
At the risk of seeming ridiculous, I think Sherrod Brown should run for president. I know that, barring a debilitating health problem or a horrible
scandal, Hillary Clinton is likely to capture the Democratic nomination. I realize too that Brown, the senior senator from Ohio, has never hinted that
he may be tempted to challenge her. “I’m really happy where I am,” he told Chris Matthews last winter, when the MSNBC’s paragon of impatience
urged him to run.
Yet, for progressive Democrats, Brown would be a nearly perfect nominee. During his two decades in the House and Senate, he has taken strong
and articulate stands on every issue which matters to the party’s broad, if currently dispirited, liberal base. When George W. Bush was in office
and riding high, Brown opposed both his invasion of Iraq and the Patriot Act. He has long been a staunch supporter of abortion rights and gay
marriage, and is married to Connie Schultz, a feminist author who writes a nationally syndicated column.
Brown’s true mission, however, is economic: He wants to boost the well-being of working Americans by any means necessary. Brown has been
talking and legislating about how to accomplish it for years before Bizabeth Warren left Harvard for the Capitol. During Obama’s first term, he
advocated a larger stimulus package, called for re-enacting the Glass-Steagall Act to rein in big banks, and stumped for comprehensive immigration
reform. He champions the rights of unions and the power of the National Labor Relations Board and criticizes unregulated “free trade” for
destroying manufacturing jobs at home. He also led the charge among Senate Democrats that pressured Obama to drop his plan to appoint Larry
Summers to head the Federal Reserve and appoint Janet Yellen instead.

On his lapel, Brown wears a canary pin to honor the workers’ movement that “gave us all food safety laws, civil rights, rights for the disabled,
pensions and the minimum wage.” Like the canaries which miners once took with them into the pits to warn them of toxic gas, the pin symbolizes
the need to stay on guard against any employers and politicians who threaten those gains.
There are other Democrats — Warren is the best known — who also skillfully combine a politics of economic populism with a commitment to gender
equality and civil liberties. But only Brown represents a populous swing state that has voted for the victor in every presidential election since 1 960
In both his Senate races, Brown faced well-known and well-financed Republican opponents — and creamed them. In 2006, his unexpected 12-
point margin over Mike DeWine was aided, in part, by the anti-Bush wave that gave Democrats control of Congress. Still, DeWine was a two-term
incumbent who had been elected previously by landslides. In 2012, Brown faced Josh Mandel, the popular young state Treasurer. After what
became that cycle’s most expensive Senate race, Brown won by six points. He outpolled Barack Obama in Ohio by over 160,000 votes.
Brown’s success, like that of many politicians who are popular in swing states, relies, in part, on charm. He relishes going to hundreds of town
meetings around the state, where he answers any question thrown at him. Whether in public or talking to an interviewer in his office, he comes off
as relaxed, witty, curious, and rhetoric-free. Two years ago, when I spoke with him in Washington, we spent so much time talking and laughing
about his Ohio predecessors — who included the formidable Mark Hanna, the Republican who, in 1 896, pioneered the big-money, mass media
national campaign — that we barely had enough time to talk about Brown’s career and policies. I have never enjoyed myself so much with any
politician, particularly one who was, at the time, fighting to keep his seat.
But Brown earns his popularity by refusing to trim his progressive faith or apologize for it. “If you remember who you are,” he told me, “you don’t
have to move to the center, wherever the center happens to be at any moment.” He keeps insisting that America will not become a decent society
unless the labor movement regains some of its strength and corporations lose a good deal of their power over campaigns and politicians.
Last summer, George Will paid Brown a kind of tribute. “He looks, sounds and acts like a real, as opposed to faculty club, leftist,” wrote Will in a
rare moment when he put his irony, if not his hauteur, aside. “Although he is a Yale graduate, he has the rumpled look and hoarse voice of
someone who spent last night on Paris barricades, exhorting les miserables to chuck cobblestones at the forces defending property.” Will did have
a point when he contrasted Sherrod Brown’s good-natured, steadfast populism with Hillary Clinton’s “risk-averse careerism” and “joyless plod”
toward the Democratic nomination.
If nothing else, Sherrod Brown could help push the plight of “the struggling middle class” — which is really composed of men and women who work
for wages or a mediocre salary — to the forefront of the Democratic primary campaign, where it deserves to be. And no journalist could accuse him
of altering his views to do so. According to exit polls from the midterm election, nearly two-thirds of Americans believe their government favors the
wealthy. Senator Brown must be less “happy” now when he contemplates spending the next two years objecting again and again to the deeds of
the new Republican majority. Why shouldn’t he speak liberal truths to power — in his party and the nation — instead?
MSNBC: “Jim Webb. Martin O’Malley present first 2016 challenges for Clinton”
By Alex Seitz-Wald and Jane C. Timm
November 20, 2014, 1:22 p.m. EST
Two potential challengers to Hillary Clinton, former Sen. Jim Webb and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, have clearly signaled their intent to enter the
2016 campaign.
Webb launched an exploratory committee late Wednesday to consider a 2016 run. The committee gives him the ability to fundraise, spend, and
organize like a presidential campaign, without officially declaring just yet.
The popular ex-senator from Virginia has moderate, anti-war credentials that might ring true with liberals and moderates voters sick of gridlock and
overseas military operations.

Page 140
“Over the past few months, thousands of concerned Americans across the political spectrum have asked me to run for president,” Webb said in a
video posted to his website. “A constant theme runs through these requests. Americans want positive, visionary leadership that they can trust.”
Meanwhile, outgoing Maryland Gov. O’Malley has hired a former adviser to Hillary Clinton to lead policy development at his political action committee.
O’Malley has only two more months left in office in Annapolis, but his Washington-based O’Say Can You See PAC is adding staff. One major
addition is Sarah Miller, who served on the policy team of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and was a close aide to longtime Clinton
confidant John Podesta at the Center for American Progress, a leading liberal think tank.
At the Center for American Progress, Miller served as a speechwriter and policy adviser to Podesta, who founded the think tank before moving to
the White House as counselor to President Obama late last year. Podesta served as Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff and will likely hold a
very senior role in another Clinton presidential campaign. After CAP, Miller joined the Treasury Department, but has remained close to Podesta.
O’Malley, who says he is seriously considering a presidential bid, has a policy record in Maryland that could excite progressives. And lately, he’s
been vocal in taking the liberal positions on issues of the day. He came out for net neutrality just before President Obama made his own
announcement on the matter, and called on Congress to vote down the Keystone XL pipeline ahead of a much-watched vote this week.
On the other hand, Webb has cast himself as an economic populist. He has touted his varied credentials — eight years of active duty military,
including deployment in Vietnam, five years at the Pentagon mostly as Assistant Secretary of Defense and Assistant Secretary of the Navy, four
years working behind the scenes in Congress, and six years in Congress. His anti-interventionist views will differentiate him from Clinton, who
voted for the war in Iraq while in the Senate and encouraged the Obama administration’s intervention in Libya.
But credentials aside, few Americans even know Webb’s name and few are talking about his candidacy for president: in a Washington Post/ABC
News poll from June, he garnered support from only 2% of Democrats.
At an event in September, Webb acknowledged his likely opponent, Hillary Clinton.
“I’m not here to undermine her,” Webb said. “I’m here just to explain where my concerns are as someone whose been involved in military and
foreign policy all of my life.”
MSNBC column: Krystal Ball: “Is Jim Webb 201 6’s Barack Obama?”
By Krystal Ball
November 20, 2014, 3:58 p.m. EST
Just when we thought the 2016 Democratic presidential primary would turn into a bloodless coronation of Hillary Clinton, the race gets a whole lot
more interesting. Jim Webb, former Virginia Democratic senator and Secretary of the Navy under President Ronald Reagan, just announced he’s
forming a presidential exploratory committee. Webb writes:
“I’d like to take a few minutes of your time to ask you to consider the most important question facing America today: Is it possible that our next
President could actually lay out a vision for the country, and create an environment where leaders from both parties and from all philosophies
would feel compelled to work together for the good of the country, despite all of the money and political pressure that now demands they
disagree?”
The letter doesn’t mention Hillary Clinton, but Webb’s background, rhetoric, and persona stands in stark contrast to the presumed Democratic
frontrunner. On issues of national security and economic justice, Webb could be the credible challenger to Secretary Clinton that some Democrats
10/18/2016

Page 141
have been looking for.
While Clinton is hawkish and famously supported President George W. Bush’s Iraq War, Jim Webb has been a forceful and credible non-
interventionist voice. While Clinton has attempted to shift her rhetoric to match the current mood of economic populism, Webb has a long track
record of focusing on poverty, inequality, and economic justice. But perhaps more than anything, Webb’s very persona stands in direct opposition
to that of Hillary Clinton.
In 2006, at a time when Hillary Clinton was serving in the Senate and considering whether or not to renounce her support for the Iraq War, Jim
Webb was stumping for a Senate seat in combat boots as an ode to his son who was serving in the military there. Before Webb’s opponent,
George Allen, made “macaca” a household word, Webb was making a name for himself in Virginia politics based on his combination of decorated
military service and opposition to the Iraq War.
Webb’s consistent and principled opposition led to a memorably uncomfortable exchange with then-President George W. Bush shortly after Webb’s
election. At a White House reception for incoming Senate freshmen, Bush tracked Webb down and asked him: “How’s your boy?” To which Webb
replied: “I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President.” Bush tried again: “That’s not what I asked you. How’s your boy?” “That’s between me and my
boy, Mr. President,” Webb said ending the conversation.
Webb has since stuck to his guns as a non-interventionist, opposing U.S. involvement in Libya and Syria. If Americans are afraid of being drawn
back into Iraq or being goaded by ISIS into another full-scale military conflict, Webb’s anti-war stance - combined with his deep knowledge and
credibility as a military veteran - could be a potent challenge to Clinton’s hawkishness.
Economic populism could provide another area of potential vulnerability for Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state has attempted to match her
rhetoric to the Democratic mood of the day by highlighting inequality and advocating for a minimum wage increase. But it hasn’t stopped criticism of
her continued coziness with Wall Street, including the generous compensation she has received for speeches to Goldman Sachs. Clinton has yet
to stake out a position at odds with the corporate and Wall Street executives who are expected to fund her campaign.
Webb, on the other hand, has already taken positions that would set him against the economic elite. In a recent interview with Ryan Lizza of The
New Yorker, Webb pointed out the absurdity of hedge fund managers paying lower tax rates than wage earners saying: “Fairness says if you’re
a hedge-fund manager or making deals where you’re making hundreds of millions of dollars and you’re paying capital-gains tax on that, rather than
ordinary income tax, something’s wrong, and people know something’s wrong.” Webb has also decried the fact that both Republicans and
Democrats are beholden to Wall street financial interests.
Webb’s candidacy could also undercut the supposed promise of Hillary’s electability. Some have argued that Clinton, given her Arkansas ties and
previous success appealing to white working class voters, would be able to expand the electoral map and compete in Southern states that were
out of bounds for President Obama. Webb, who is of Scotch-lrish decent and whose ancestors hail from Appalachia, would likely have the same
electoral appeal. His exploratory letter highlights his concern for both the inner cities where you “see the stagnation, poverty, crime, and lack of
opportunity that still affects so many African Americans” and the “poorest counties in America - who happen to be more than 90 percent White,
and who live in the reality that ‘if you’re poor and White you’re out of sight.’”
Most potently, Webb and Hillary Clinton could not be any more different stylistically. While Clinton seemingly can’t get enough of hobnobbing with
economic elites and cultivating donors, Webb has clear antipathy for the entire political fundraising process. When he was in the Senate, his
fundraising approach consisted primarily of an occasional letter, penned by Webb himself explaining his work and asking for donations. If you did
see Webb at political fundraisers, you would likely find him off to the side, speaking only to those who approached him, rather than working the
wealthiest and most powerful individuals as most other politicians would.
Senator Tim Kaine, who replaced Webb in the Senate, explained to The Washington Post: “He is not a backslapper. There are different models that
succeed in politics. There’s the hail-fellow-well-met model of backslapping. That’s not his style.” In all the ways that Hillary is careful, Webb is
direct. In the ways that she’s polished, he’s rough. And in all the ways that Hillary eagerly embraces the political game, Webb distances himself
from it. But his authenticity could also be a liability: Webb has no established donor network and no appetite for politics.
Barack Obama showed how a potent combination of outsider status, anti-war credibility and deep grassroots enthusiasm could propel an
insurgent candidate into a position to win the nomination against the formidable Clinton political war machine. Despite the lessons of 2008, the
nascent Hillary Clinton campaign seems to have corrected little of its tone-deafness or overconfidence. At the same time, Clinton is unlikely to allow
her organization to be out-executed the way she was by Obama, who capitalized on his campaign’s organizational competence and managerial
discipline to win the Democratic nomination.

Though Clinton’s tone-deafness and hubris might still befuddle Hillaryland in 2016, you can be sure they would have their caucus states organized
and not be asleep at the wheel. And a candidate as fundamentally cautious as Hillary Clinton is unlikely to have the aforementioned “macaca”
moment that ignited Webb’s unlikely 2006 Senate candidacy against George Allen. 2006 was also a spectacular year for Democrats, when national
forces came to Webb’s aid and made up for his many organizational sins and fundraising disadvantages.
Webb has never proven he can run the type of campaign organization that could execute the complex, precinct-by-precinct war it would take to
dislodge Hillary. Nor is he the type of charismatic figure that electrified the national stage the way Obama did during his 2004 Democratic
convention debut. But as the 2016 field comes together, a combination of factors could conspire to unleash a type of grassroots firestorm for
Webb: disdain for politics as usual, the unaddressed fury of blue collar white voters, a deep longing for authenticity, and a likely post-Obama
backlash against transformational, rhetorically charismatic leaders. An Obama-to-Webb transition isn’t the most natural, but given their shared
disdain for hawkish adventurism and anti-establishment credibility, Webb’s bid for the coalition of the ascendant is not unreasonable.
However, before getting the politically cynical millennials to knock down doors for him, Webb will also have to explain to the Democratic base his
positions on gun control, immigration and women’s rights. A 1 979 article he wrote titled “Women Can’t Fight” is tough to square with a Democratic
party that champions women’s empowerment and equality.
Still, for those looking for an alternative to Hillary Clinton and hoping she’ll face a real challenge in the Democratic primary, Jim Webb’s candidacy
will certainly be an interesting one to watch. In his letter announcing his exploratory committee, Webb writes: “I can assure you that we will be
focusing not on petty politics or how to match a position with a poll, but on the future of our country and on solutions that will rebuild and unite us.”
Lots of politicians could write those words. Webb is one of the very few who could write them and actually be believed.
The Daily Beast: “Hillary Gets a Challenger and He’s a Marine”
By David Freedlander
November 20, 2014
[Subtitle:] Jim Webb is officially exploring a 2016 run. Why the former senator — and former Republican — might be able to reach the Democratic
voters that Clinton can’t.
The typical campaign kickoff video has soft lighting, shots of the candidate with family or, shaking hands with beaming youngsters, grizzled
farmers, and grateful factory workers while a voice-over runs down platitudes about saving the nation from the imminent peril that another election
gone wrong will bring.
Jim Webb’s announcement that he’s forming an exploratory committee for a possible 2016 presidential run had all the slick production of the
instructional video shown before jury duty.
There was Webb, a one-term senator from Virginia, wearing a charcoal gray suit and a blue button shirt, staring directly into the single camera,
speaking for 14 minutes. He laid out his biography — Vietnam vet, secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan, antiwar Democrat in the U.S.
Senate — his record as a lawmaker, which included criminal-justice reform and a new Gl Bill, and the rationale for his campaign: “A strong majority
of Americans agree that we are at a serious crossroads. In my view the solutions are not simply political, but those of leadership.” (The text,
spread out over pages, was helpfully posted directly below the video.)
It has all the trappings of a campaign as vanity project, the type of presidential exploration designed not to excite convention delegates but to boost
a candidate’s name ID before cable-TV bookers. Webb, after ail, would come into a Democratic primary with considerable baggage — never mind
that he would likely be squaring off against Hillary Clinton, the most overwhelming favorite in an open Democratic primary in history. There is the
fact that Webb used to be a Republican, a point he proudly points to in the video when he mentions his service in the Reagan administration. Or the
fact that Webb, who decided not to run again after only one term in elective office, doesn’t seem to have the stomach for the degradations of
politics. And the fact that Webb’s base of support lies among working-class whites, who are a diminishing constituency in a party made up more
and more of liberals, minorities, and the professional classes. (“What a naive and stupid thing to think that Democratic primary voters want,” wrote
The Daily Kos in response to Webb’s kickoff video, calling Webb a hopeless crank and comic relief in the mold of Herman Cain.)

But veterans of his campaign for Senate and people close to him insist that Webb is taking a serious look. Webb’s video announcement last night
makes him the first Democrat to officially declare his interest, and as the party waits for the near-inevitable Clinton kickoff, some Webb supporters
say that is not as inevitable as many pundits believe. And should Clinton jump in, some in Webb world say they think she is the wrong candidate at
a time when the nation is disgusted with politics as usual and when the declining prospects of the middle class is the most important issue facing
the nation.
“Jim is not a trial-balloon guy. A lot of people send trial balloons up because they want to see if they have a chance, or if people like them,” said
Steve Jarding, a strategist on Webb’s 2006 run. “That’s not Jim. He says ‘I have a message and I am going to move that message.’ He challenges
the Democratic Party to say what it stands for.”
Jarding acknowledged that Webb faces long odds — “At this point, you wouldn’t bet on him” — but noted that his win in what was thought to be
deeply Republican Virginia in 2006, against a popular incumbent, was unlikely as well.
And he conceded that Webb didn’t have much of a taste for politics, but suggested that the former senator could be a stand-in for Americans who
don’t have much of a taste for the process either right now.
“Apparently 90 percent of Americans agree with him. They don’t like politics much these days either. Maybe Americans are willing to look at
someone who does something different from the calculated. He gives those Americans a voice who say, ‘You know what, they are all crooks and
bastards up there on Capitol Hill and I don’t want to have anything to do with them.’ I mean, look at that video! With all due respect, it was like
something out of the 1 970s. It wasn’t what you would see from an insider politician.”
On Friday, some of Hillary Clinton’s biggest supporters, who have banded together under the Ready for Hillary super PAC to raise millions of dollars
and garner millions of email addresses, will gather in Midtown Manhattan to bask in their successes in preparing the groundwork for her run. Webb
has kept a low profile since leaving the Senate, and will be running for president “the old-fashioned way,” in the words of one aide — waiting to
announce before trying to gather support.
And Clinton, his aides insist, is a non-factor.
“It ain’t about Hillary,” said Mudcat Saunders, a longtime Virginia strategist who worked on Webb’s Senate campaign. “It’s about bring the American
dream to the forefront once again for working people and small business. The working people and small business — they haven’t had any
representation in years. And they know it.
“Americans want to do something about this coin-operated government.”
The early line on Webb had been that he would be challenging Clinton from the right. It is a reasonable assumption, considering his roots in the
Republican Party, in the Marines, and his proud Scots-lrish roots. But Webb’s aides insist it isn’t true. He is to the left of Hillary on foreign
intervention, and is more populist on economic matters as well, talking about not just curbing the power of big banks but about an inequality agenda
that goes beyond raising taxes and the minimum wage in order to help lower middle-class families gain more of a foothold. They see him bringing
working-class whites and Southerners into the fold in a way that no other Democrat could.
“He talks about taking the Democratic Party back to its populist roots,” said Jessica Vandenberg, a longtime political operative who just moved back
to her native Iowa and is helping lay the groundwork for the Webb campaign in that first-in-the-nation caucus state. “There is a debate about the
direction of the Democratic Party, and it is good to have that debate.”

[Subtitle:] The controversial oil-sands pipeline is cropping up in the nascent 201 6 battle for the White House.
The progressive group MoveOn.org is pressing Hillary Clinton to come out against the Keystone XL oil-sands pipeline, warning that she could lose
Democratic voters if she doesn't take a stand against the project.
"Hillary Clinton's refusal to take a position raises the possibility that she is worse on climate change than 80 percent of the incoming Senate's
Democratic Caucus," said Anna Gailand, executive director of MoveOn.org Civic Action.
She warned: "If she's considering a run for president and wants the support of the party's base, Hillary Clinton should clarify that she opposes this
dirty and dangerous pipeline."
Clinton, the Democratic front-runner if she decides to enter the White House race, has repeatedly declined to offer an opinion on Keystone.
"I can't really talk about it because I was in the office that has primary responsibility for making the decision. I don't want to inject myself into what
is a continuing process or to in any way undermine my successor as he tries to make this decision," she said at an event in Canada last month,
referring to John Kerry, who followed Clinton as secretary of State.
But Bill Snape, senior counsel for the Center for Biological Diversity, said there's no formal restriction preventing Clinton from offering an opinion on
the pipeline. "She's a private citizen now," said Snape, whose group opposes Keystone. "Nothing in Clinton's secretary of State job would prevent
her from taking a policy position at this point."
The State Department is heading the federal review of the project, but the final decision is expected to come from
Polling shows that Democrats are divided over Keystone. A Pew Research Center poll released Nov. 12 showed
surveyed currently favor construction, compared with 54 percent in March of 2013. Overall, Pew's survey found
supports the project.
In contrast to Clinton, outgoing Maryland governor and potential 2016 Democratic White House candidate Martin O'Malley is bashing the pipeline. "It's
time to reject the either/or and smallball choices facing us on energy. I hope the Senate rejects #KeystoneXL~it's too much carbon dioxide, and not
nearly enough jobs (only about 50 jobs permanent once construction is finished)," he said on Facebook ahead of a Senate vote on the project
earlier this week.
the West Wing.
that 43 percent of Democrats
that 59 percent of the public
Among the other potential 2016 challengers to Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont strongly opposes Keystone. But former Virginia Democratic
Sen. Jim Webb, who has just announced an exploratory committee for a White House run, voted in favor of the pipeline in 2012.
The MoveOn.org statement comes two days after legislation to approve TransCanada's pipeline, which would bring crude oil from Canadian oil-
sands projects to Gulf Coast refineries, failed by a single vote in the Senate. Thirty-nine Democrats and two independents aligned with their
caucus (Sanders and Sen. Angus King) voted against the bill Tuesday, while 14 Democrats supported it.
Bill McKibben, a prominent climate-change activist and leading Keystone foe, supported MoveOn.org's push to get Clinton to take a stand.

We had a good meeting today to ratify the research plan and discuss staffing structure and talent.
Few things to report out:
1 . We seem to have a settled on a team for the research project-we just need to lock in the media
people. Attached is the latest draft of the one pager. I'm hoping to get the team discussing and

editing the project design over the holiday so we can present a proposal to HRC at the beginning of
Jan. Fingers crossed.
2. Good discussion about digital and tech. I think we have some good digital options. ..she approved
setting up an interview process for CTO candidates, since we want someone outside politics for this
role and we need outside advice on candidates.
3. Self research: Cheryl, she wanted to keep Heather and the team going from DC. I flagged that we
will likely need to expand the team to 5-10 people, which she seemed fine with. I also flagged that
self research is so integral to rapid response, vetting, content, etc that we'd probably want a
contingent in HQ to prevent bottlenecks. We agreed I'd loop back with you to discuss options--! think
a hybrid model may work. Let's discuss.
4. We had a good discussion about communications. John there are some WH people I'd like to
discuss. I'll follow up. Any names welcome!

She seemed to like both of them and basically told them both they would be part of this initial plan.

Updated Travel Memo
5 5 v 2 MIDWEST SOUTH TRAVEL MEMO.docx
Hi John-
Per our earlier conversation I've updated the travel memo to reflect changes to the roadshow itinerary, including meetings and lodging. Below
you'll find the plain text of just tomorrow's travel. Full memo attached.
Earlier tonight I got on the phone with Marcus, Midwest Deputy National Finance Director, who is in charge of organizing the Chicago roadshow
and your meeting with Fred Eychaner. I made sure that we're coordinated on all logistics fortomorrow, including your pickup from Wendy's house
and your drop-off at ORD after the event. After that call I also made slight adjustments to your briefing for the Eychaner meeting, which I believe
you saw.
Tomorrow morning volunteer John West is scheduled to pick you up from Wendy's place at 9:50am to give you time to settle in the car before
your 10am call with Ken. I saw your brief traffic with Wendy about the possibility of her attending the event and driving you. If she
confirms, please let me and we can tell John not to come. Otherwise, he will be there to pick you up. The rest of the day's logistics are
below.
I will hop on the phone with Greg and Jon on the ground in Miami/Ft Lauderdale tomorrow to review logistics there as well. After I speak with them I
will make any necessary changes to this memo and get you a new copy.
Marcus will have this printed for you when you arrive at the finance roadshow venue tomorrow (Clayco, construction company, offices in
downtown Chicago).
Best,
Milia

question
Hi John:
How are you?
Our corporate parent (FTI Consulting) throws a huge bankruptcy conference in Beaver Creek, CO every March. They asked me
whether you do paid speeches. If so, I guess the questions are: (a) how much do you charge (they would pay full market rates);
and (b) who should I put them in contact with?
Thanks - and hope to see you soon.
Jon

It's a bit vague in the documents Ira provided. I can't tell if he would make equity/debt investments or just grants,
but I got the sense during the Board meeting that he would like the flexibility to make both.

I'm a little confused--an investment fund or an innovation fund?
Probably both are bad, but they seem different in the pitch and
liklihood that people would give $.

Subject: RE: First Draft of Policy Poll
As usual and as expected, a great job from the ALG research team, putting together an amazingly comprehensive and detailed
questionnaire that will provide a payday of rich data.
My comments are offered not necessarily as suggestions for edits, but more as an offering of what I have been hearing on the
multi-year swing and non-swing state tour of independent voters. Some of this is commentary or observation that may or may
not be relevant to changing any questions, but offer as food for thought. Please understand that in many cases I call attention
to things without necessarily suggesting an action or improvement, but just raise the issue in the hope that it may generate
thought among the rest of the team. And some of these comments may be off-base, which is frequently the case, but here goes:
1. One of the biggest wording issues we've struggled with is the word "invest," which I know is a word that we use (not sure
if Reps use it) to mean additional spending. And Dems can't say additional spending because that triggers negative
reaction and we get hit with tax-and-spend Dems/liberals. But invest is not a word that I hear voters use in the groups we
do. And for a few, invest triggers thoughts about the stock market, or other such speculation. In some cases they say,
"spend more," but what they really want is adequate funding. Investment is the construct of question 14 and used in 13,
16, 29 and elsewhere. We also use the more traditional definition of investment in 30f. I see "increasing funding" in
q24, which I think is what we really mean when saying "investments." There may not be a better word to use as
substitute, but I bring this up, only because the word is viewed, at least in the qual we've done, as a political word that
Democrats use to mean "spend more".
2. On q6, I see climate change, and I see the need for that. Comment is that I frequently hear voters talk about the
environment as a key issue without mentioning climate change specifically. Some are just shy on the term, seeing it as
controversial, while still harboring concerns about whether there is something going on out there. Others care more
about clean air and clean water and stopping pollution. Others care about energy and clean energy. I understand value
and necessity of asking specifically about climate change, but wanted to note the importance of environment to some who
may not believe/care in climate change.
3. Also on q6, immigration is the other issue that we regularly hear volunteered as most important facing the country. The
other thing, of course, is government itself, the gridlock/partisanship, etc., which I know we all know about, and I know we
can't add to the list. But frequently that trumps all other issues when voters are asked what is the most important issue
facing the country.
4. Should we do a check on Scott Walker fav/unfav in 8?
5. Q13, we've also found some don't know 'infrastructure' when asked without clarification. We are hearing more concern
about streets, roads, highways, bridges, etc., but not everyone uses the word infrastructure. Like that job training is there,
which is huge. (I see that infrastructure is defined in 14a. I've rarely heard infrastructure defined as 14b though).
6. On 14h, mostly I hear voters talk about loans, and rarely talk about grants. Are we thinking about a policy that would
lead to an increase in grants? Reducing cost of student loans is something I hear constantly as a concern.
7. Another thing I hear in groups often that is not in ql4 is public safety, which takes in a few things: more cops on the
streets and in the neighborhoods, better firefighting services, reduced response time in the case of emergencies, and
disaster planning.
8. On the 15 series, clearly there is a policy behind d that the team is working on, but to me, $51,000 seems an odd almost

arbitrary amount, and long hours seems vague. Maybe just "makes 50 thousand or less"?
9. I'm confused on 15p, do they keep unemployment benefits as long as they can show they are starting their own business,
and then unemployment ends once the business launches? I'm not sure I get this one.
10. On 16/17 series, the other thing I hear people discuss regularly in conjunction with job training is apprenticeship
programs.
11. I had a recent instance in which I found massive confusion among voters between debt and deficit. Some use
interchangeably, some think debt is accumulated while deficit is annual. So just to check, we ask about deficit in 6/7, and
debt in 16/17.
12. On 21, not to add any more, but another item I hear regularly in groups is along the lines of, improving our schools so
students receive the skills necessary for jobs of the future...
13. Elephant in the education room is standardized testing. I see it 24/25 but not in 23 series?
14. Reducing class size is another thing that constantly comes up when talking about what can improve education.
Maintaining arts/music/phys ed/recess, etc. also comes up regularly.
15. Also on education generally, perhaps not for this questionnaire, is the giving teachers more latitude to teach critical
thinking. I frequently hear voters saying teachers teach kids how to take tests but not how to think. Many also talk
about the need for teachers to teach "the basics".
16. Also I've heard a lot of pushback on "free college tuition," as making it free for everyone gnaws at some as going too far,
unless there are some basic restrictions and accountability to make sure that students are trying, getting decent grades,
and moving toward matriculation (I was surprised to hear some mention their awareness of- and annoyance at —
perpetual students who are perceived to be living off the government while extending their college years into decades,
something that I myself was considering, oh, so long ago.)
17. The first choice on 28 strikes me as two separate ideas - paying workers more, and long-term growth
18. On 30a/b, I remember some thinking that 500k was a good place to draw the line. Perhaps rather than 250k, which more
people are saying is too low, at least in groups...
19. In discussions on tax reform in groups, the word that is spoken with most emotion is "simplify."
20. On 32, instead of greenhouse gases, voters say "pollution" although I understand that they are not the same. But many
don't understand "greenhouse gases".
21. On 30k/l, we use high earners, rather than upper income or wealthy, or just high incomes. High earners is a term I don't
hear much in groups when discussing this sort of stuff.
I fear I've already gone on too long.
I may not be able to get on the Monday AM call, but if anyone has any questions or comments on my questions or comments,
please email.
And finally, kudos again to everyone for putting together such a rich questionnaire that will provide clear guidance moving
forward.

Subject: First Draft of Policy Poll
Team HRC
Attached you will find the first draft of the Policy Poll. There is a lot going on in this poll and a lot that we all want to know but
naturally there are time limitations on what we can do in one instrument. We will have future policy polls that will build on this
one and dive deeper into specific issue areas.
We are attempting to do several things in this poll:
1: Measure the importance voters put on different issues
2: Measure isolated support or opposition of policy proposals
3: Determine the prescriptions that voters have when policy proposals are stacked against each other
4: And on some issues, see if proposal stand up to opposition arguments.
We have also focused on the following issue areas — almost all economic related:
1: General Issue salience (most important issue that leaders should focus on)
2: Importance of new investments in a variety of areas that could help families and the economy
3: The importance of different policy proposals to improve the economy and incomes
4: Dissecting the needs of small businesses and what is needed to help them succeed and grow
5: Proposals that would improve public education (K-12) and college debt
6: Tax reform and tax policy options (OK, tax increases)
7: Climate changed focused mostly on the Pollution Tax (carbon tax), including opposition arguments
8 Paid Family Leave including opposition arguments

9: Baseline measure on trade
10: Proposals for retirement security
That is a lot for one poll and it is certainly too long but we wanted people to be able to get the full flavor or issues we have
discussed on past policy calls and strategy meetings. This will allow us to put issues side by side and then make decisions on
priorities and what we might be able to wait for future polls.
As you review think to yourself what might not be needed in this round of research. If you feel strongly that there are items
missing that should be included please be ready to let us know what you would cut to fit it in the poll.
I also want to give a shout out to the Policy Team. Them memos, calls and endless emails we sent to Jake, Dan and Ethan have
been invaluable and we could not have put this draft together without your effort. Thank you.
We have a call on Monday which gives everyone the weekend to kick the tires (Happy Valentines). Feel free as you review and
ponder to shoot me, Jeff Liszt, and Matt Hogan, an email on your comments and suggestions (and questions) and then we can
attempt to put a second draft together before the call. That would make the call more efficient.
Thanks for everyone's time and effort.

Subject: MO COS
I had a few thoughts mostly to my own detriment. 3 from CAP.
Jennifer Palmieri--CAP communications director, spectacular, deputy
White House press secretary at the end of Clinton, Edwards press
spokesperson in 04, very close to Elizabeth Edwards, held her hand
thru illness and infidelity, not speaking to John these days, very
good manager, great communications skills, good human being. Probably
should be considered for Press Sec or Deputy press sec or
Communications Director in the main show.
Marlene Cooper Vlasic-senior comms person here, manages all our
events, came from Kennedy Center, Liberian-American, she's Helene
Cooper's sister. Helene is NYT reporter with the autobigraphy House at
Sugar Beach on growing up in Liberia. Marlene is an excellent manager,
very easy to get along with. Should also be considered for socail
secretary as well.
Daniella Leger, CAP deputy communications director, African American,
press secretary type. Worked for Kerry in 04. Super good, could
probably step up to the COS job. also an excellent candidate for
press secretary if that's not done.
Elizabeth Sears-Smith, Rahm's COS, very good, very capable political
manager, but I don't know her as well, might check with Rahm.
Tamera Luzzatto, this may be weird, but she's Hillary's COS in the
Senate. Not really part of the Hillary political operation. Patti
always treated her badly. She was Jay Rockefeller's COS before
Hillary. Beloved on the Hill. Strong manager with very good sense of
Washington. She has had health problems, benign brain tumor, but is
doing great now.
Let me know if any of these grab you and we can discuss.

Subject: 215: Q&A on Ending the Section 215 Bulk Telephony Metadata Program
Q&A on Ending the Section 215 Bulk Telephony Metadata Program
What other options did you consider before settling on this one?
I’m not going to get into our internal deliberations. But, as those of you who have studied this issue closely
know, there aren’t alot of choices in this area. The President mentioned some alternatives in his speech, such
as having a third party hold the data, or combining existing authorities, better information sharing, and
recent technological advances.
Ultimately though, for the reasons we’ve discussed, we believe this option best satisfies the President’s desire
for an approach that that allows the government to the end bulk collection of telephony metadata records
under Section 215, while ensuring that the government has access to the information it needs to meet its
national security needs.
Isn’t this decision an acknowledgement that the program isn’t as valuable as the administration
has previously claimed?
No. As the President said in his speech, it is important that the capability that the Section 215
telephony metadata program is designed to meet is preserved. At the same time, however, we need a
new approach that gives the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected,
even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe.
This approach strikes that balance.
Does this announcement vindicate Snowden?
No. Our nation’s defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation’s secrets.
As the President made clear in his January 17 speech, if any individual who objects to government
policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be
able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy.
Will you be prohibiting all uses of Section 215 for bulk collection?
The changes we have announced today would end bulk collection of telephony metadata records
under Section 215, and establish a new regime for us to obtain the relevant records in a manner that
balances our intelligence needs and privacy concerns. We’ve announced a number of specific criteria
such new legislation should contain. Beyond that, the specific details will need to be addressed as we
work with Congress.
Will you be renewing the program indefinitely until Congress acts?
The current authorization expires Friday. We will be seeking a renewal of that authorization. We
look forward to working with Congress over the next 90 days to ensure that legislation can be passed
quickly.
But what if there’s no legislation in 90 days?
We think it’s important that a new approach is adopted quickly that addresses the concerns that have
been raised. If that doesn’t happen by the time of the next renewal, we’ll address that issue then.
Will you be requiring new data retention time periods?
Under the President’s proposal, records would remain at the telephone companies for the length of
time they currently do today.
10/18/2016

Page 177
So you’re relying on the FCC regulation specifying 18 months?
As you note, there’s already an FCC regulation requiring records to be kept for at least 18 months.
We are not planning on seeking legislation that would extend that time period.
Doesn’t it present a national security concern to go from 5 years of data to only 18 months?
Over the last several months we’ve taken a hard look at the program, and one of the tasks the
President gave us was to match as much of its existing capability as possible to meet our operational
needs.
Under the existing program, NSA keeps the records for their intelligence value 5 years. However,
there have been concerns raised about mandating a similar retention period for data held by the
providers.
We’ve taken a hard look at the program, and determined that we can get enough of the information
we need here to satisfy our operational needs if the telephone companies keep the records for the
length of time they do today.
Why do you need this legislation at all, can’t you do this under existing authority?
A few points here. First, as the President noted in his January 17 speech, although the telephony
metadata bulk collection program was subject to oversight by the FISC and has been reauthorized
repeatedly by Congress, it was never before subject to vigorous public debate. Thus, as we look to
transition to a new regime, doing so through transparent legislation is consistent with the desire to
restore public confidence.
Second, what we’re talking about here is a regime to obtain data quickly, up to two hops in response to
a query, and to provide that data to the government in a timely, usable format. We think tailored
legislation is the best way to accomplish all of these objectives.
Third, Section 215 is scheduled to sunset next year, so legislation will be required in any event.
So will the providers be required to change how they store the records?
The legislation, and the resulting Court orders, would compel the providers to provide technical
assistance to ensure the information is searchable, to run the queries, and to give the records back to
the government in a usable format and on a timely basis.
I can’t speak to the precise way in which particular providers would implement that.
Will the companies be compensated?
We envision that the legislation will provide for the government to compensate the companies for any
technical assistance they provide. This is similar to other provisions of FISA that require companies to
be compensated for complying with lawful Court orders.
Did you consult with the companies?
We have consulted with the companies on these issues. We believe the President’s proposal addresses
issues that are of importance to them.
The records would remain at the telephone companies for the length of time they currently do today.
The companies would also receive Court orders, compelling them to provide technical assistance to
ensure the information is searchable, to run the queries, and to give the records back to the
government in a usable format and on a timely basis. They would be compensated for this assistance.
There have been press allegations about another alleged bulk collection program by CIA. Would
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered,
these changes cover that?
Page 178
While I’ve seen those reports, I won’t be commenting on them.
The President’s January 17 speech, and the decisions announced today, describe changes that we are
seeking to the NSA Section 215 bulk telephony metadata program.
The HPSCI proposal would apply beyond just CT targets to all FI targets, are you proposing the
same expansion of this authority?
I’m not going to comment on specific bills before Congress at this point in the process.
More generally though, the existing program only allows for queries of numbers associated with
specified terrorist groups. Our operational focus is to make sure we preserve that authority in any new
legislation. Beyond that, we’re open to consulting with Congress on these issues.
The HPSCI bill proposes a regime like 702, is that what you want?
Without commenting on specific bills before Congress at this point in the process, we believe there is a
bipartisan agreement that the government should no longer collect this data in bulk under Section
215, and that a change is needed. As to the specifics, we believe there should be prior approval by a
FISC Judge of individual numbers to be queried, except in emergencies.
Won’t FISC approval slow things down?
Court approval is obtained quickly in law enforcement and national security matters all the time,
including under FISA. Additionally, we believe there should be an emergency exception.
As you know we had prior experience with FISC pre-approval for a period of several months back in
2009, and again this year since the President announced that change in his speech. Based on that
experience we believe we can satisfy our intelligence needs with this approach, especially with an
exception for emergency situations.
We believe this solution is not only workable, but is the best solution to address both our intelligence
needs and privacy concerns.
Won’t getting the records from the companies be slower than already having the records in your
possession?
One of the aspects of our proposal would be that the companies would be required to respond to
requests in a timely fashion. We believe that requirement would address the timeliness concern
animating the question.
We’ve heard from some sources that the FISC process is too slow, and that only a small number
of queries have been approved, is that true?
We believe, based on our extensive consultation with the IC, including the views of the NSA, that
prior FISC approval is workable, and that it is in fact the best solution here.
As you know we had prior experience with FISC pre-approval for a period of several months back in
2009, and again this year since the President announced that change in his speech. Based on that
experience we believe we can satisfy our intelligence needs with this approach, especially with an
exception for emergency situations.
How would the emergency exception work?
The precise details of that are something we will work out with Congress in the legislation but I’d note
two things:
First, we have an emergency exception now under the reforms the President announced in January.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 179
That exception requires approval from a high ranking government official in an emergency
circumstance when a Court order can’t be obtained first. The documentation is then submitted to the
FISC for approval within 7 days. Those procedures are contained in the Government’s motion and
Court order we declassified in February.
Second, we have longstanding experience emergency provisions in other parts of FISA. We’re
envisioning a similar regime to that.
Will you be sending up a draft bill to Congress?
We are entering this phase of the consultative process without specific Administration text, and
planning to work with Congress to craft legislation that embodies the key attributes of this new
approach.
How will the data of foreigners be handled under this new regime?
Under the Section 215 program, even as recently modified at the President’s direction, the government
is holding bulk telephony metadata records that concern both U.S. persons and non-U.S. persons.
Under the President’s proposal, we will no longer use Section 215 to collect these telephone records in
bulk — whether it is U.S. person records or non-U.S. person records.
So does this mean you’re ending all bulk collection of metadata?
The changes the President announced today relate to the NSA’s Section 215 bulk telephony metadata
program, under which certain telephone companies are compelled to provide their call detail records in
bulk to the NSA. That bulk collection should end.
Beyond that, I can’t comment on other alleged intelligence activities. But, I would note generally, that
as PPD-28 makes clear “locating new or emerging threats and other vital national security information
is difficult, as such information is often hidden within the large and complex system of modern global
communications. The United States must consequently collect signals intelligence in bulk in certain
circumstances in order to identify these threats.”
However, when signals intelligence are collected in bulk, they will only be used to meet specific
security requirements: combatting (1) espionage and other threats and activities directed by foreign
powers; (2) terrorism; (3) weapons of mass destruction; (4) cybersecurity threats; (5) threats to U.S. or
allied forces; and (6) transnational criminal threats, including illicit finance and sanctions evasion.
We’ve heard from some in Congress that they weren’t consulted. Is that right?
Considering changes to such complex policy and legislative issues requires extensive consultation
between the Administration and Congress — as well as privacy groups, industry, and other
stakeholders.
Without listing what we consider to be an extensive effort to date soliciting stakeholder input from
outside the Administration, we now have Presidential policy direction from which we will begin the
next phase of consultations as Congress develops and considers legislation.
Did you consult with PCLOB?
Yes, and we believe this approach is in line with the recommendations in PCLOB’s report regarding
Section 215. The bulk collection of this data under the existing Section 215 statute will stop, and the
information will be obtained pursuant to individualized legal process.
As both the NYT editorial board and Senator Leahy said, if the President wants to end bulk
collection under Section 215, it’s in his power to do so, why is he seeking a renewal of the FISC
order?
10/18/2016

Page 180
As the President said, and as his announcement makes clear, he understands the concerns that have
been raised with this program, and has determined that the bulk collection of these records under
Section 215 should end.
At the same time, he must consider our security needs. The transition we’ve announced, including the
reforms to the current program announced in January, is a responsible path forward to ensure that we
appropriately balance our security needs and privacy concerns until new legislation can be enacted.
What are you going to do with the data already collected under the existing program?
For now, the existing program will continue, with the substantial modifications in place.
We hope that new legislation will be enacted soon that allows us to end the existing program; when
that happens, we’ll address the question of the old data, of course taking into account the fact that a
District Court in California has ordered us to preserve the data for now because of the pending civil
lawsuits.
How would NSA handle the results it receives from the providers? Would those go into the
“corporate store” and be searchable by any analyst?
Under our proposal, the retention and dissemination of any data received would be subject to FISC
approved minimization procedures.
The details of where the data would be stored and accessed once it is received would be governed by
those minimization procedures, just as minimization procedures govern how we handle the data we
currently receive.
Would the FBI still need to be involved with the applications under your proposal?
Not necessarily. Under Section 215, the FBI was required to be involved because of the way the
statute, which pre-dates this program, was written. Since our proposal focuses on the NSA being able
to analyze these records, that’s a question we can expect to address in working through new legislative
language with Congress.
Of course, the program is designed to help locate individuals inside the US with possible ties to
terrorists, so from an investigative perspective we’d expect the FBI and NSA to work closely together in
response to any leads developed.
Under your proposal, would the companies produce the data on a continuous prospective basis?
Our proposal would require the government to go to the FISC and seek a court order for each number
that is used to query the data. That order would then compel the companies to produce the historical
records up to two hops.
We would envision that the government could also request that the Court direct the continuous
prospective production of those records for a limited period of time, provided that there was a
documented national security need for such continuous production approved by the judge .
Any continuous production would be for a limited time period, absent re-approval by a judge that the
need for the production still exists. We will work with Congress on what that time period should be,
but it should be limited and set forth in the statute. Other provisions of FISA provide for similar
renewals of Court authority, for instance at 90 day intervals.
The current program allegedly only collects less than 30% of the data. Is this an expansion of
the program?
Currently, we are collecting the data in bulk, a process which will be ending.
While I can’t get into specifics, obviously there are costs and technical limitations to the amount of
data that can be collected and held in bulk. Under our proposal, rather than collecting it in bulk, we
10/18/2016

Page 181
would send individual queries to the companies.
Presumably the companies would run those queries against all of the records in their possession,
thereby providing comprehensive results back to the government. But, the government would only
receive back responsive records, not all records, so we’d be holding less data, not more.
There’s a story out in the press that SSCI previously considered this option back in 2011 and
rejected it?
I’m not going to comment on specifics of engagements with the Committee, but we’ve long said, including in
congressional hearings and other engagements last fall, that we were open to alternatives where the data
would stay with the companies, provided that appropriate legislation is enacted. We believe what we’re
proposing accomplishes that.

John,
Hello from UN HQ in New York, where the post-201 5 development agenda was just agreed by acclamation!
Thought I'd give you an update of how things ended up, and pass along the attached agreement.
Negotiations continued non-stop since Friday night until 6pm on Sunday. USUN, led by Tony Pipa, was
negotiating hard on means of implementation, climate, and peace and security, which became the biggest
sticking points in the document.
The US was perceived as the bully in the room by developed and developing countries alike, due to the tone
of a few of their statements and what was seen as a patronizing presence of Amb. Power on Friday. Not much
support from EU colleagues, who wished to close days ago. Wild rumors that the U.S. was trying to "blow up"
the process were counteracted by the team here, who instead instructed DC that the momentum in the room
meant that they must reach agreement now, rather than punt to September.
A deal on climate was struck late Saturday night, by using language (see below) that has all been previously
agreed in prior climate agreements.
The final deal-making revolved around language on foreign occupation and self-determination... i.e. Palestine.
The co-facilitators were able to pull together language that everyone could live with, without forcing any new
commitments.
In the end, all delegations are left extremely exhausted, but pleased with the work of the last three years.
Many harkened to the legacy of the High Level Panel. Next step is September, when the 1 7 goals and
accompanying declaration will be adopted by Heads of State.
Enjoy your vacation!
Kate
Climate language:
We acknowledge that the UNFCCC is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change. We
are determined to address decisively the threat posed by climate change and environmental degradation. The global nature of climate change calls for
the widest possible international cooperation aimed at accelerating the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions and addressing adaptation to the
adverse impacts of climate change. We note with grave concern the significant gap between the aggregate effect of Parties’ mitigation pledges in
terns of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and aggregate emission pathways consistent with having a likely chance of holding the
increase in global average temperature below 2 °C or 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
Looking ahead to the COP2 1 conference in Paris in December, we underscore the commitment of all States to work for an ambitious and universal
climate agreement. We reaffirm that the protocol, another legal instrument or agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all
Parties shall address in a balanced manner, inter alia, mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer, and capacity-building, and
transparency of action and support.

Subject: G E-Puerto Rico
Dear John - I hope this email finds you well. I’ve been reading that the President’s climate change agenda
is moving forward and see that your impact on the Administration has been felt immediately.
I write to you because GE notified us yesterday that next Friday. June 20. 2014 , it will announce that it’s
closing two of its plants in Puerto Rico. One of the plants employs 400 people and its operation will be
outsourced to a company in the Dominican Republic. The other plant employs 180 people, and 40% of its
operation will be transferred to GE-Mexico, the balance of the operation will be terminated because of
downsizing. These plants, as most of GE’s operations in Puerto Rico, are part of the Company’s Industrial
Solutions division and manufacture electrical equipment such as circuit breakers. GE contemplates to begin
the drawdown fairly soon and complete the closings by the end of 2015.
GE and Puerto Rico have a long history of working together, in fact, GE was one of the first American
companies to establish operations in Puerto Rico when the island embarked on the industrialization of its
economy. And as recently as September 2013, GE and the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company
(“PRIDCO”) executed an agreement whereby PRIDCO extended the term of the lease agreements of all
the sites that GE leases from PRIDCO (approximately 41 1 ,690 square feet) until 2018. These leases are
heavily subsidized. PRIDCO also provided GE with $3,771 ,500 in job creation/retention incentives. As part
of the agreement, GE agreed to preserve the 1 ,900 jobs it sustains in Puerto Rico and create 25 additional
jobs in its factory in the island of Vieques.
We had been hearing rumors that a restructuring of GE’s operations might be in the works and tried to
engage GE’s senior management but have had little success. All we want is an opportunity to meet with
GE’s senior management to discuss how we can try to save these jobs. We’ve been successful in
competing against Mexico and other countries with low labor costs and trust that we can present a
compelling case to GE to keep these jobs on American soil. As you know, Jeffrey Immelt was part of the
President’s Jobs Council and has been a strong advocate of the Administration’s agenda of creating jobs in
the United States. I would be terribly grateful if you can ask the Company’s senior management to grants
us an opportunity to meet before they proceed with this decision to outsource jobs. In the current juncture
that Puerto Rico is facing, to have a company like GE announce that it is leaving us to move to other
countries, threatens whatever success we’ve had so far in restoring confidence in our economy.
I’ve also reached out to Senator Menendez on this matter and hope to be able to connect soon with Ms.
Valerie Jarrett.
I know you have many matters on your plate but we just can’t afford to lose these jobs. I thank you for any
help you may provide.
Kind regards,
Alejandro

Subject: CEA's analysis of new data on slow growth in health care costs
Please find below CEA’s blog post on new data showing slow growth in health care costs continuing in 2015.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/09/22/new-data-show-slow-health-care-cost-growth-continuine
New Data Show Slow Health Care Cost Growth is
Continuing
New data released today by the Kaiser Family Foundation show that premium growth in employer-sponsored coverage remained slow in 201 5,
extending the recent streak of unusually slow growth. Taken together with estimates of current trends in Medicare spending released this
summer, these data suggest that underlying growth in per-enrollee health care costs remains low, even as the dramatic expansion in coverage
since early 2014 drives a temporary uptick in the growth of aggregate health care spending. Recent years’ slow growth in health care
costs — which is thanks in part to the Affordable Care Act — is already generating major benefits for workers and our fiscal outlook. Looking
ahead, keeping these positive trends going will require that we continue to make good use of the tools provided by the Affordable Care Act,
including: moving our health care system toward payment models that reward efficient, high-quality care; continuing to foster a transparent
and competitive Health Insurance Marketplace; and implementing the law’s tax provision that encourages high-cost employer plans to become
more efficient.
SIX KEY POINTS ON NB/V DATA ON EMPLOYER COVERAGE IN 201 5
1. Premiums in employer-based coverage continued to grow slowly in 2015. The new Kaiser survey finds that the average premium for
employer-based family coverage grew 4.2 percent in 201 5. While slightly faster than the record-tying 3 percent rate recorded in 2014, this reading
for 201 5 continues the recent pattern of unusually slow growth; the last four years account for four of the five lowest growth rates since the
survey began in 1 999. The Kaiser estimates corroborate earlier estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employer Cost Index that showed
that slow growth in employers’ health benefit costs continued into 2015, as well as results from a national survey released last week by the
consulting firm Mercer, which found that employers have seen slow growth persist through 2015 and expect it to continue into 2016.
Sustained slow premium growth is generating major benefits for families and businesses. Had premium growth since 2010 matched the average
rate recorded over the preceding decade, the average total premium for employer-based family coverage would have been nearly $2,600 higher in
201 5. A large portion of these savings have accrued directly to workers in the form of lower premium contributions. Employers’ savings on their
portion of premium spending may be reducing total compensation costs in the short run, helping to boost job growth; economic theory and evidence
indicate that these savings will be passed on to workers as higher wages in the long run.

2. Recent estimates suggest that Medicare spending per enrollee is continuing to grow slowly as well. In July, the Office of the
Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released updated projections of growth in per-enrollee spending in Medicare for
2014 and 201 5. While these estimates are projections, they reflect data on actual Medicare spending for all of 2014 and part of 201 5, so they tend
to be particularly reliable. Nominal Medicare spending per beneficiary is projected to grow just 1 .0 percent in 201 5, only slightly faster than recent
projections of overall inflation in 2015 and slower than measures of inflation that exclude the recent sharp decline in energy prices. If this
projection holds, then 201 5 will be the sixth consecutive year in which growth in Medicare spending per beneficiary was roughly in line with
overall inflation economy-wide, a stark contrast to trends over the decade preceding 201 0.

Note: Medicare spending growth for 2015 is a CMS projection. GDP price index for 201S is a CBO projection. The
Medicare growth rate for 2006 has been adjusted to remove the effect of the introduction of Medicare Part D.
3. The continued slow growth in per-enroiiee spending in employer coverage and Medicare shows that the pickup
in aggregate health care spending growth since the start of 2014 largely reflects transient effects of expanding coverage. Data for
the last several quarters have shown a turn toward faster (though still moderate in historical terms) growth in aggregate spending on the three
largest categories of health care goods and services: hospital services, ambulatory services, and prescription drugs.
However, this faster aggregate growth does not reflect rapid growth in the cost of health care for an individual or a family; the data presented

above for the two largest segments of the United States health care system indicate that growth in per-enrollee costs has ticked up only modestly,
if at all. Rather, the driving factor is likely the significant expansion in insurance coverage since late 201 3 as the main coverage provisions of the
Affordable Care Act have taken effect, an expansion of coverage that is by far the largest since the decade following the creation of Medicare
and Medicaid. As we have noted on several prior occasions , it is not a surprise, nor a cause for concern, to see a temporary period of
faster growth as newly insured individuals begin to access care.
The exception is prescription drug spending, where the uptick in spending growth is much larger than can be accounted for by recent coverage
expansions. Available data indicate that the main factor driving faster drug spending has been the arrival of costly, though often effective, new
therapies. While the implications of the recent acceleration in drug spending for the overall health care spending outlook should not be overstated
since drug spending currently accounts for only about one-tenth of total health care spending and drug spending growth may decline somewhat
relative to its recent rapid pace, trends in this area have raised concerns about access and affordability in both the public and private sectors.

Analysis National Income and Product Accounts (prescription drugs, population, GOP price index).
4. Average deductibles in employer coverage rose again in 2015, but the increase was in line with trends stretching back more
than a decade. Typical deductibles in employer coverage have been rising for more than a decade, and the new Kaiser data indicate that that
trend continued in 201 5. As demonstrated in the figure above, however, neither the Kaiser data nor the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (which
provides a longer-term view on these trends) indicate that deductibles have risen more quickly in recent years. This means that there is no sense
in which continued growth in deductibles is “cancelling out” the benefits to workers stemming from recent years’ very slow premium growth and
that rising deductibles are unlikely to be an important reason that premium growth has been so much slower recently than in the past.

5. Virtually all workers enrolled in employer coverage now have a limit on their annual out-of-pocket spending, a protection that
more than one in six enrolled workers lacked when the ACA became law. One core function of health insurance is to provide protection
against catastrophic costs in the face of serious illness. Starting in 201 4, the ACA required that all non-grandfathered health insurance plans place
a limit on total annual out-of-pocket spending, protection which 1 8 percent of workers enrolled in single coverage lacked as of 2010, according to
the Kaiser survey. The share without an out-of-pocket limit drifted lower after 2010 (possibly in part because firms were preparing for 2014), then
fell sharply as the ACA requirement took effect; today’s data show that just 2 percent of workers in single coverage lacked such a limit in 2015. If
the prevalence of out-of-pocket limits had remained at its 2010 level, we estimate that at least 22 million people enrolled in employer coverage
would lack this protection today.

6. The persistence of slow health care cost growth raises the likelihood that much of the health care cost slowdown reflects
long-lasting structural changes in the health care sector, including changes in public policy, not the aftereffects of the Great
Recession or other transitory factors. As we have discussed previously , the Great Recession likely played some role in reducing health
care cost growth during the downturn itself and in the early stages of the recovery (at least in the private sector). However, the United States is
now more than six years into an economic recovery that has created 13.1 million private sector jobs over 66 months of job growth and driven the
unemployment rate back to levels last seen in the spring of 2008, before the worst of the financial crisis hit. It is therefore increasingly likely that
whatever role macroeconomic factors may have played in the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, structural changes in the health care

Dear Friends:
As he departed the presidency in 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower summarized the foreign
policy accomplishments of his administration. Ending the Korean War and preserving
peace in the Middle East were among them. But, he also noted a few of the world's
continuing dangers, starting with what he called the "Communist penetration of Cuba"
which he labeled a real and serious threat.
Defining the challenges of his final year in office, President Obama used his last State of
the Union address to make his most forceful appeal to Congress to "lift the embargo" on
Cuba since he announced the new U.S. policy toward Cuba in December 2014.
"Fifty years of isolating Cuba," he said, "had failed to promote democracy, setting us back
in Latin America. That's why we restored diplomatic relations, opened the door to travel
and commerce, and positioned ourselves to improve the lives of the Cuban people. You
want to consolidate our leadership and credibility in the hemisphere? Recognize that the
Cold War is over. Lift the embargo ."
Congress had heard the appeal before; during last year's address, after explaining the
purpose behind his shift in policy, the President said , "Congress should begin the
work of ending the embargo."
Tuesday night he hit it harder - making it two years in a row that he urged Congress to
take down what presidents dating back to Eisenhower had built up.
Everything is happening so fast. Our compassion, concerns, and anxieties are pulled in a
dozen different directions. But, isn't this a time when we could stop and admire the beauty
of this historical moment?
Two years in a row a U.S. president actually said the state of the union would be stronger
by ending the embargo against Cuba. "The mere knowledge that such a work could be
created makes me twice the person I was," Goethe said.
Tuesday night we felt that way, too; even more, after dozens of Members of Congress
heard what the president said and rose from their seats to applaud. Stop for a minute and
smell that coffee!
As we previously reported , there is majority, bipartisan support nationally for ending the
embargo, including among Floridians and Cuban Americans. With Congress hesitant to
act, the upcoming election, and the impending close of President Obama's second term,
there is a greater sense of urgency in Washington and Havana to push Cuba policy
forward in 2016.
In just a few weeks, Representatives Tom Emmer (MN-6) and Kathy Castor (FL-14), lead
sponsors of legislation to repeal the trade embargo t are bringing a partisan delegation
from the U.S. Congress to visit Cuba to build support for opening travel and trade relations
with Cuba among the new or uncommitted colleagues who will accompany them.
Aside from the difficult task of adopting such sweeping legislation in an election year,
diplomacy has brought changes to the U.S. -Cuba relationship, such as the restoration of
commercial airline service, direct mail service, and direct phone service, and U.S. ports
and U.S. businesses are seeking ways to use the new authorities granted by administration
policies to create commercial relationships with Cuban counterparts. All of this builds on
the policy opening in anticipation of a new president taking office in January 2017.
Josefina Vidal, who leads the Cuban side of the normalization talks, told the official

Cuban News Agency that she's "beginning to feel a certain bit of realism as the electoral
process in the United States approaches; we don't know what's going to happen."
Neither do we. But, just like Governor McAuliffe hit the accelerator of the 1957 Chevy he
drove through the streets of Havana during his trade mission to Cuba last week, we're part
of a larger effort to encourage policymakers, business leaders, advocates and experts to
wrench as much change as possible out of U.S. policy before the next president is sworn
in. We have a year and hope to put it to good use.
Sincerely,
Your Cuba Central Team

Cuba will participate in U.S. co-sponsored regional security conference
Cuba will participate in an annual Caribbean regional security conference in Jamaica later
this month co-sponsored by the U.S. military's Southern Command later this month,
according to Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly. "We've normalized now and, regardless of
how we think of each other in terms of politics, we have very, very common challenges,"
Gen. Kelly said at a briefing at the Pentagon, AP reports .
Senior military officials from 16 Caribbean countries, the U.S., UK and others will
participate in the three-day conference, which will focus on cooperation to combat the
drug trade, human trafficking, and weapons smuggling. Cuba may use the conference as
an opportunity to raise its objection to the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, AP
reports . Gen. Kelly thinks the U.S. Navy base could be run jointly with the Cubans, but
recognizes that "It wouldn't be appropriate" at this stage in relations.
Port of Miami eyes new ferry terminal to Cuba, showing evolution in Miami
politics
Last week, Juan Kuryla, Miami-Dade port chief, discussed the possibility of a new ferry
terminal in Miami after receiving several requests from major worldwide ferry operators
for a location to launch ferry service from Miami to Havana, the Miami Herald reports .
The day after Kuryla made the public announcement, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez
clarified that, "We don't do business with countries. We just do business with carriers...
Where the ferry services decided to go in order to make money, etc., well, that's up to the
ferry service as long as it's legal." Xavier Suarez, Miami-Dade County Commissioner,
10/18/2016

Page 196
added that "We don't want to get left behind if ferry service is in fact started," according
toNPR .
Mayor Gimenez and County Commissioner Suarez are both Cuban-Americans. Their
statements reveal a growing interest in economic possibilities that, in turn, are reshaping
politics in Miami around Cuba. "There was criticism from some in the Cuban-American
community, but compared to the firestorm anything involving Cuba has often sparked in
the past, it's a sign that in Miami, times have changed," NPR noted .
Several U.S. operators have already been granted ferry licenses from the U.S.
Treasury , but approval in Havana has taken longer than expected and executives
estimate that Florida-Cuba ferry service isn't likely to start until late 2016. "Cuba needs to
develop terminal facilities for proposed ferries from Florida, complete with customs and
immigration processing and room to handle passengers and freight. That requires millions
of dollars in investment," the Sun Sentinel reports .
Meanwhile, three U.S. -based cruise lines are awaiting pennission from Cuban authorities
to begin sailing to Havana from Miami this winter and spring, according to the Miami
Herald . Reuters reported in December that Switzerland-based MSC Cruises was the
first of the four global cruise lines in the world to start operations in Cuba.
Update: First group of Cuban migrants in Costa Rica flown to El Salvador,
headed for the U.S.
On January 12, 180 Cubans were flown from Costa Rica to El Salvador and taken on a
bus to Mexico and on to the U.S., according to the Economist . On January 13,
Granma, the Cuban state-run newspaper, reported that the group of Cuban migrants
arrived in Mexico, where the National Institute of Migration (INAMI) provided permission
documents to allow them to continue their journey to the U.S. "This disjointed itinerary is
the result of an agreement among several Central American countries and Mexico to allow
the migrants through while discouraging new arrivals. " the Economist explains.
In November, Nicaragua closed its borders to Cuban migrants, leaving 8,000 stranded in
Costa Rica and 2,000 in Panama, according to Univision . The International Organization
of Migrations said the first group was selected based on their ability to afford the trip,
which costs about $550, Univision reports . Katia Rodriguez, Director of Costa Rica
Migration, said that the countries involved will meet next week to decide the next stages
for those who remain.
In 2015, more than 43,000 Cubans arrived in the U.S. between January and September, an
80% increase over the same period in 20 14. This significant uptick in migration is often
attributed to a fear that as relations with the United States improve, Cubans will lose the
special immigration status they receive under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) of 1966,
as we have reported . The editorial boards of several major newspapers, including the
New York Times, have called for ending the CAA, and one bill has been proposed in
the U.S. House of Representatives which would do just that. Others, like CubaNow
executive director Ric Herrero, argue that the CAA should be dealt with at the same
time as the embargo itself.
Sommerhoff, Miami-Dade's director of Emergency Management, says the county is ready
to "absorb" the 8,000 Cuban migrants who are currently stranded in Central America,
reported the Miami Herald in December 2015 . "Not everyone has family in the United
States - and although the mayor of Miami is concerned that the city's not prepared, at the
county, there's confidence . Que vengan. Let them come," the Miami Herald advocated.
Musicabana Foundation announces Major Lazer concert in Cuba
Major Lazer - whose records include Peace Is the Mission and Free the Universe
will be one of the first major American musical acts to perform in Havana since U.S. and
Cuba restored diplomatic relations, announced the Musicabana Foundation , a new
nonprofit organization developing year-round U.S. -Cuba cultural events. Major
Lazer will perform in Havana on Sunday, March 6, 2016 as part of the four-day
Musicabana festival.
Fabien Pisani, founder and festival director of Musicabana, expressed his excitement about
partnering with Major Lazer, as well as his hope to highlight "Cuba's music scene[, which]
is bursting with the same raw talent and energy of decades past."
Musicabana will host concerts in three venues, Plaza San Francisco de Asis, Salon Rosado
of la Tropical, and La Piragua. The festival will be free to the Cuban public; international
visitors will be able to purchase special travel packages and VIP tickets.
Musicabana will feature performances by Cuban and international artists including Pablo

Cuba's 2016 Economic Outlook
The self-emploved sector in Cuba continues to capture U.S. attention and investment
The majority of "cuentapropistas," self-employed Cubans, work in food services, followed
by transportation, and house and event space rentals, according to data from the Ministry
of Work and Social Security cited by EFE . The Ministry of Work details that of the
total number of cuentapropistas, 17% are Cubans who maintain state sector jobs, 30% are
youth, 30% are women, and 12% are retired Cubans.
On Monday, EFE published an article on the status of Cuba's self-employed sector,
citing a slight decrease in the number of Cubans working in outside the state sector since
June 2015. On the same dav. OnCuba published an article bv Cuban economist Dr. C.
Juan Triana Cordovi, who reports that the self-employment sector employs 27% of the
country's work force. While Dr. Triana is optimistic about the growth of the self-
employment sector, he is advocating further changes in his country's economic model.
Specifically, he hopes 2016 will bring access to wholesale markets and an increase in
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to mitigate the negative factors of the decline in
economic growth, which President Raul Castro announced will be 2% in 2016. According
to Reuters . President Castro attributed the decline to "financial limitations associated
with the fall in earnings from traditional exports," including nickel and sugar.
Unilever invests $35 million in joint venture at Mariel Special Development Zone
On Monday, Unilever announced its plans to return to Cuba with a $35 million investment
in a joint venture, Unilever-Suchel S.A., to create a toothpaste and soap factory in the
Mariel Special Development Zone. The Dutch-British company is the ninth firm to get
approval from Cuba's government to operate in Mariel. Cleber LLC, a tractor assembly
companv based in Alabama, was the first U.S. finn to receive approval in November
2015.
Last week, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Lilianne
Ploumen announced that she hopes that the Netherlands will "acquire a pole position" in
Cuba.accordinu to Forbes . Representatives from maior Dutch companies, including
Philips andHeineken. joined Minister Ploumen on her trip to Cuba. Telegraph reports.
In 2012, Unilever left Cuba after a dispute over the stipulation that the state hold the
majority stake in joint ventures with foreign companies. "Now Unilever NV will have a
majority 60 percent stake compared to 40 percent for the Cuban state company
Intersuchel S.A.." Reuters explains .
The factory, planned to open by 2018, will produce shampoo, detergent, soap, and
toothpaste, items that are in high-demand on the island and especially in the growing
tourism sector.
CUBA'S FOREIGN RELATIONS
Update: FARC peace talks continue in Cuba

discussions to end the armed conflict that has persisted in their country for more than a
half centurv. according to Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Relations . MINREX. Thev have
sustained peaceful negotiations in Havana since November 2012.
In September 2015, President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC-EP leader, Timoleon
Jimenez, announced that they would sign a peace accord on March 23, 2016. However,

difficult to sign an accord by that date.

It was nice talking with you the other night. I share your frustrations with the present Clinton campaign. As promised, I
attach a proposal for how I would repair it. I also attach a resume so these words are not quite a voice from the
wilderness. I have been working on these ideas for a long time.
Let me say that I am willing to help this campaign in any way they would wish should they decide to pursue something like
what I propose, either to help or to lead. I have few calendar obstacles and I would willingly give them up, even go to New
York, if the campaign decided I could be of benefit.
I am not concerned about the distribution of these documents. If you think others might warm to their thoughts, feel free
to distribute.
I would also appreciate your own thoughts on the thoughts therein.

Kim Maxwell

PRESS RELEASE
CDA Applauds Announcement That U.S. and Cuba Will Reopen Embassies
WASHINGTON — The Center for Democracy in the Americas (CDA) released the
following statement in reaction to reports that the agreement between Cuba and the U.S. to
restore diplomatic relations and open embassies in their respective capitals will be
announced tomorrow.
"This is a moment we have been working toward for many years," said Sarah Stephens,
executive director of CDA. "The restoration of diplomatic relations between our countries
is a major achievement that will help to heal decades of mistrust and will open
opportunities for the U.S. and Cuba to collaborate on issues of mutual interest like
immigration, environmental conservation, and regional trade. We applaud the tireless work
of Cuban and U.S. diplomats, policymakers, academics, and activists who have helped
make this possible. We are ready to work with all our allies to defend these positive steps
initiated by President Obama and to move forward with removing the embargo once and
for all."
Sarah can be contacted through Simone Duval (202-234-5506) at the CDA office in
Washington, DC. You can learn more about CDA at our website .

Draft Medium Post on Iowa
There's been even more bluster than usual from the Sanders
campaign, this time in an effort to disqualify Hillary Clinton's historic
victory in Monday night's Iowa caucus.
Disparaging good news for Hillary Clinton has become a pattern for
the Sanders camp. It you support someone else? You're dismissed
as part of the " establishment ," unless of course they want
to claim your support in ads anyways. If a process doesn't go their
way? It's invalid or flawed or they blame the lowans who ran it.
In Iowa, the Sanders camp started floating conspiracy theories
leading up to the caucus. First, it was two weeks ago when they
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 211
posited that Microsoft might steal the caucus from them. Now that
the caucus is over, they are calling into question the results that
were reported by everyday lowans .
Hillary Clinton won the Iowa caucus with incredibly high turnout - a
level of turnout the Sanders camp claimed would earn them a win. It
was a close contest and a hard fought campaign. But Hillary won.
And once it became apparent that they had lost, the Bernie Sanders
campaign began to peddle frivolous claims that have been disproven
in an effort to poison an otherwise historic night for Hillary Clinton,
our supporters, and volunteers.
Remember coin flip-gate where people claimed Hillary won all the
coin tosses? Turns out that wasn't true . In fact, according to the
official count, Sen. Sanders won more coin tosses than Hillary
Clinton.
Or how about the "90 precincts" with no chairs? Also untrue.
Certainly there were precincts that took a while to report but once
they all did, it was clear Hillary had won.
Now the Sanders campaign is disputing the reported results that
were sent in by everyday lowans - volunteers, no less! - to the
Democratic Party. All three campaigns have checked the results of
certain precincts against their own data reported to them from
volunteers. That's normal. For the Sanders campaign's challenges,
there are 7 total precincts they are questioning (out of a whopping
total 1,681 precincts!) and the Iowa Democratic Party is checking the
results on a few more. And they will follow the same standard
procedure for these questions as they did for precincts we asked
them to look at - they'll look at the numbers reported that night,
check the math and figure out if there are any discrepancies or
misallocation of delegates.
Here's the kicker. Even if the Sanders campaign were to win all of
their challenges - the marginal bump they receive in support would
not be enough to overcome Hillary Clinton's win margin. Those are
just the facts.
Here's the math.
Total Precincts in Contest: 11 (7 from Sanders and 4 from the Iowa Democratic Party)
Total State Delegates being Contested: 1. 7947 (not enough to change outcome)
If every contest were to go In the favor of Sanders:
HRC = -.775
Sanders = +. 758
MOM = +.0166
It may be inconvenient for the Sanders campaign that Hillary Clinton won the Iowa caucus,
but it's the truth. Eight years ago Hillary came in third here in Iowa and when she did, she
congratulated the winner. We suggest Senator Sanders do the same.

Begin forwarded message:
Hey everyone —
Ron Klain wrote a riff for HRC and sent it to Teddy on guns. We thought it could make a strong
Medium post from someone who could really speak to this issue (not HRC and not someone on
our campaign).
Here's the draft, which I edited and can personalize depending on who we want to use as an
author. A survivor of gun violence? An advocate or family member?
If we can find someone, and if folks want, we could get this posted today to Medium in someone's
name (not us). Here it is, let me know your thoughts!

«l’m an xyz and here’s why this issue is really important to me»
This week, President Obama did something no president has ever done. He announced that
he’ll take new steps to take on the epidemic of gun violence in America — and not a moment too
soon. Gunshots have now surpassed car crashes as a leading cause of death in our country.
African Americans are four times more likely to die from a gunshot than any other cause. There
were 330 mass shootings in 2015. And 147 people in the U.S. were killed by guns in just the first
four days of 201 6. We can’t go on like this.
Like most Americans, I’m grateful to President Obama for taking action, and calling on all of
us — including responsible gun owners — to do the same. I’d expect nothing less from someone I
voted for twice. And I expect nothing less from our next president.
I like Senator Sanders, and there are a lot of issues where I agree with him. But when it comes to
gun violence, he’s not on my side — in fact, he’s taken the side of the gun lobby.
Senator Sanders talks about supporting gun violence measures. Today, his campaign even said
that there is “zero daylight between the President and Senator Bernie Sanders on guns.” But
when you look at his voting record, his actions don’t match his words.
Senator Sanders voted against the Brady Bill five times. That’s legislation that instituted federal
background checks for gun sales, and has kept 2 million guns out of the hands of people who
shouldn’t have them. Senator Sanders voted against it. And against it. And against it. And against
it. And against it.
As it turns out, that’s not even his worst vote on guns. He voted to make it more difficult to crack
down on gun dealers who break the law. And he voted twice for a bill the head of the NRA called
the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in 20 years — legislation that gave gun

manufacturers sweeping immunity for their actions.
The second time the bill came before Congress, President Obama — then a Senator from
Illinois — and Hillary Clinton both voted against it.
Senator Sanders voted with the NRA. He said it was “complicated.”
In America, auto companies, food producers, toy companies, chemical companies — all of these
industries have to take steps to make sure their product is being used correctly and safely. Not
gun manufacturers. They’re able to make billions in profits, without being subject to the most
basic safety standards. And when they make lethal products, they’re able to avoid facing any
consequences whatsoever, or being held accountable to the people they hurt.
That’s not complicated. It’s wrong.
Senator Sanders has been pressed on this vote in every Democratic debate. And the truth is,
even Hillary Clinton has cast votes she later said she regretted. So I’d understand if Senator
Sanders would just stand up and say, “I got this one wrong. I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”
But he hasn’t. He’s defended the vote time and again. Three months ago, he said he would
“consider” some changes to the law — but he hasn’t come forward with anything since. That
means more than 8,000 Americans have died from gun violence since Senator Sanders told us
he might change his position.
This week, President Obama wrote in the New York Times:
“Even as I continue to take every action possible as president, I will also take every action I can
as a citizen. I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who
does not support common-sense gun reform.”
The President is right. This should be an issue we vote on. And no American should be able to
vote in good conscience for any candidate who is wrong on gun safety. And until he changes his
position on immunity for gun sellers and gun makers, Senator Sanders is wrong on gun safety.
And he’s the wrong candidate for President.

John -- we realize your inbox is probably getting flooded right now
with political email, but we really hope you'll take a minute to read
this :
How strong is our grassroots campaign to end Citizens United?
End Citizens United PAC launched in March 2015 -- a brand new organization funded by
grassroots donors. Over the course of the year, the outpouring of support has been stunning:
• people have signed on as Citizen Co-Sponsors for the Constitutional Amendment
to overturn Citizens United.
• Founding Members have chipped in much needed support for our grassroots
cause.
• That's the average donation from our supporters across the country. Half as much
as any of the presidential candidates.
John, that's an incredible response... but it's not enough. We have a hard internal goal of
20,000 Early 2016 Members before the Election Year begins — and barely 72 hours to get there.

End Citizens United is a Political Action Committee dedicated to overturning Citizens United. Our
goal is to elect as many pro-reform Democrats to the House and Senate as we can.
We're also going to make campaign finance reform THE issue in next year's elections. To do that,
we're building the staff and infrastructure we'll need to shine an enormous light on the dark
money that is corrupting our electoral system.
This year, we endorsed nearly 70 Senate and House members. Here's what some of them have to
say about End Citizens United PAC:
• Sen. Michael Bennet, U.S. Senator in Colorado: "End Citizens United PAC's work is
critical to building a broad coalition pressuring lawmakers to pass the Constitutional
Amendment to reverse Citizens United -- and to finally take action on campaign finance
reform."
• Rep. Tammy Duckworth, Running for Senate in Illinois: "Proud to have the support of
End Citizens United. All Americans should have an equal say in who represents them."
• Rep. Patrick Murphy, Running for Senate in Florida: "I was recently honored to receive
the endorsement of End Citizens United, the grassroots movement to overturn the court's
decision."
We're financially supporting Democrats who have pledged to fight for reform in Congress. By the
end of the month, we'll have contributed more than $350,000 directly to our endorsed
candidates -- and we've helped raise an additional $63,000 for these candidates from small dollar
donors (giving less than $10 on average).
Next year, well invest strategically in races where the Koch Brothers and related dark money
groups are attacking our endorsed candidates. But we can only do it with your support.
Donate right now to help us elect pro-campaign finance reform
Our work is getting noticed:
Media outlets including MSNBC, National Journal, and Roll Call recently profiled End Citizens United
PAC to discuss the work we're doing to reform our broken system. Here's what they've had to
say:
• "A new political action committee dedicated to campaign finance reform wants to be
a big player in 2016, and it's planning to funnel tens of millions of dollars to Democratic
candidates running in competitive House and Senate races across the country."
• "The group — which seeks to elect legislators who will fight for a repeal of the
Citizens United court decision — found in their polling that candidates who want to repeal
the 2010 court decision would fare better with voters in 2016."
• "Two shadowy outifts are helping to bankroll Bush's candidacy" ... "These
odd donations were first spotted by End Citizens United."
Why is our fight so critical?
The public backlash against the Citizens United ruling has continued to grow over the years --
despite efforts by some Republicans to glorify the case as a free-speech triumph (because they of
course argue that corporations are people).
But the 2016 Election could be the watershed moment that finally leads to reform. Every
Democrat running for President has drawn a hard line in the sand when it comes to Citizens

Attached is a draft media prep plan for your review. We have a 3:30 pm call today to discuss. We
accelerated the first prep sessions to have two completed before her Feb 24 speech and Q & A with Kara
Swisher. The schedule is:
Feb 18 - Jen and I will meet with her and Huma to talk through past experiences and her needs going
forward.
Feb 19 - First group session. I will draft a diagnostic memo and circulate early next week that will be the
basis for the first part of the session. We are preparing clips of her best interviews to show her. Also
compiling her worst and analyzing for triggers and her reactions. Will circulate those early next week for
your feedback and additions. Joel, your preliminary message architecture would be the second part of the
session as now structured.
The next sessions are not scheduled yet. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks,

BENNET
Friends,
In 2014, you couldn't watch a Broncos game without being bombarded with nasty attacks.
That’s because special interests shattered outside spending records in Colorado - and $23
million worth of negative attack ads against Mark Udall dominated Colorado’s airwaves and
helped hand the Senate to extremists.
“Dark money” groups will only air more false attacks to defeat us and protect their interests in the
Senate. The Kochs’ network alone is scheming to spend nearly $1 billion.
This isn't only about defeating ideologues; it's about protecting our values, and we have to be
ready. Please, we need your help to raise $15,000 in the next 48 hours to build a campaign that
can overcome every attack. Will you give $5 or more now and become one of our first
2015 grassroots supporters?
If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express , your donation will go through immediately:
Click to donate $5.
Click to donate $25.
Click to donate $50.
Or click here to donate another amount.
Mark my words, friends: Big-money outside interests are going to turn the volume way up this
cycle.
If we’re going to retake the Senate, we have to be ready. Voters share our commitment to
protecting our natural resources, innovating toward a 21st-century economy, and making it
easier for all kids to earn a college education.
But we have to push our message out over all the lies and false attacks. Join us.
Give now to help us raise $15.000 and launch a arassroots-powered campaign
to win in Colorado and take back the Senate.
Thank you,

Teddy:
The founders of code.org are eager to see Hillary make statements in support of computer science education
and to have us participate in the hour of code. They put together some info below, include stats on jobs in our
first four states.
Can you advise me on if / how it would be appropriate to discuss / debate inside the campaign?
I cc'ed John on this email since this was a hot topic at the Reid Hoffman / Linkedln finance event and there was
incredible support for Ali's request by the entrepreneurs / Silicon Valley leaders in the room. It seems worthwhile
to have a response to these guys.

Stephanie, we were separately introduced by jocelyn goldfein. Manny, I didn't expect our paths to cross so
quickly :)
Just to expand on what AN wrote. There are currently 600,000 open jobs in this field, across every state. There
are more jobs than graduates in almost every congressional district.
One easy way for Hillary to engage is to work with us around the Hour of Code campaign. Last year President
Obama hosted an Hour of Code at the White House . This year we have some really big plans involved, with a
special focus on women in computer science, which would be a perfect fit for Hillary's involvement.
That said, I believe this is a broadly bi-partisan, popular issue that could call for MUCH more than just a
marketing stunt. There's opportunity for a bipartisan sputnik-moment call to action that the whole country can get
behind.
One thing to consider, Any time Hillary says "STEM", if she instead said "Computer science" she'd have more
voters understand and support her.
Of course, STEM is critically important to our country. However, STEM is not where the job growth is or
where the gender disparity is . STEM is also not where the HI B skilled immigration problem is .
And finally, for winning an election, "STEM" is not what voters react to. Below are some simple poll results we
got from a 18+ US audience:
Do you know what STEM education means?
77% NO
23% YES

This is a very bi-partisan topic. Republicans strongly support computer science, and with the growing threat of
cybercrime it's increasingly \ an issue of national security.
Aside from the story of the Arkansas governor who won a campaign on computer science, we've had 16 states
pass legislation or policy changes for computer science, almost always with near-unanimous votes of support. In
Washington state, 91 % of the population answered "Yes" on a poll asking if it's important to expand access to
computer science. Many other states have similar levels of support.
I'd love to work with the Clinton campaign to help sharpen a focus on this issue. Even if it's just participation in a
marketing gimmick around the Hour of Code.

Manny, Lindsey, & Stephanie,

Thanks for the "town hall" at Linkedln. I'm the guy who spoke up about Computer Science education.
I've been giving Stephanie an earful, with powerful stats to back it up. I'm copying the rest of you to intro Hadi
Partovi of Code.org and to emphasize that this is not about "technology" or "Silicon Valley."
Computer Science is about jobs and equity in every state in America , and it wins elections .
There are 5,000 open computing jobs in Iowa; 2,000 in New Hampshire; 4,000 in South Carolina; 3,000 in
Nevada. Like every state in the union, their economies desperately need more Computer Science. This is an
historic opportunity to lift up an entire generation of young Americans, a chance to level the playing field and
rebuild the American Dream.
Computer Science is real and resonates with voters (far more than "STEM"). Computer Science helped win
the recent election in Arkansas for Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R). Whichever candidate embraces it first will be
seen as a visionary leader when it comes to about jobs, economic growth, and America's future.
The world's best champion for this topic is Hadi Partovi, my twin brother and co-founder of Code.org. Linder
his leadership, Code.org has helped reform education standards in 18 states, has partnered with America's
largest school districts to train 25,000 teachers, and has built an enormous movement around the "Hour of
Code," touching 100 million students worldwide.

Subject: Sign the Petition to Prevent Gun Violence
Dear Friend:
As we mourn the victims of Sunday's shooting spree at a Sikh house
of worship, we are also reminded that it is too easy for guns to fall into
the wrong hands.
While nothing may have stopped this event or the recent
theater shooting in Colorado, it is clear that the status quo must
change.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has called on each
member of Congress to agree that convicted felons, convicted
domestic abusers, terrorists and people found to be dangerously
mentally ill have no business carrying a gun. Please click here to tell
Congress you want them to enact common sense legislation to stop
gun violence.
Please click here to send Congress a clear message — and please
share this email with your friends, family and co-workers so they can
join us, too.
Thank you.

Granted that Amy Chozick will not go down in the history of great political reporters, it get tiring
enduring stories about the brilliant opinions of "The Clinton Team.". Amy insults Bill Clinton by
making him look like a geriatric case who needs to be controlled by consultants, and the
consultants insult Hillary Clinton by making her look like a candidate whose heart, brain and
husband are managed by consultants. "The Clinton Team" is diminishing both Bill and Hillary
Clinton and it is not good. Bill Clinton is the Babe Ruth of politics and it is idiocy--and wrong —
for him to be insulted by "The Clinton Team" in the New York Times. Brent

Nomi Prins: The Clintons and Their
Banker Friends
by Nomi Prins
The past, especially the political past, doesnt just provide clues to the present. In the realm
of the presidency and Wall Street, it provides an ongoing pathway for political-financial
relationships and policies that remain a threat to the American economy going forward.
When Hillary Clinton video-announced her bid for the Oval Office, she claimed she wanted
to be a champion for the American people. Since then, she has attempted to recast herself
as a populist and distance herself from some of the policies of her husband. But Bill
Clinton did not become president without sharing the friendships, associations, and
ideologies of the elite banking sect, nor will Hillary Clinton. Such relationships run too
deep and are too longstanding.
To grasp the dangers that the Big Six Banks (JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of
America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley) presently pose to the financia
stability of our nation and the world, you need to understand their history in Washington,
starting with the Clinton years of the 1990s. Alliances established then (not exclusively witl
Democrats, since bankers are bipartisan by nature) enabled these firms to become as
politically powerful as they are today and to exert that power over an unprecedented
amount of capital. Rest assured of one thing: their past and present CEOs will prove as
critical in backing a Hillary Clinton presidency as they were in enabling her husbands years
in office.
In return, todays titans of finance and their hordes of lobbyists, more than half of whom
held prior positions in the government, exact certain requirements from Washington.
They need to know that a safety net or bailout will always be available in times of
emergency and that the regulatory road will be open to whatever practices they deem
most profitable.
Whatever her populist pitch may be in the 2016 campaign and she will have one note that,
in all these years, Hillary Clinton has not publicly condemned Wall Street or any individual
Wall Street leader. Though she may, in the heat of that campaign, raise the bad-apples or
bad-situation explanation for Wall Streets role in the financial crisis of 2007-2008, rest
assured that she will not point fingers at her friends. She will not chastise the people that
pay her hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop to speak or the ones that have long
shared the social circles in which she and her husband move. She is an undeniable
component of the Clinton political-financial legacy that came to national fruition more than
23 years ago, which is why looking back at the history of the first Clinton presidency is
likely to tell you so much about the shape and character of the possible second one.
The 1992 Election and the Rise of Bill Clinton
Challenging President George H.W. Bush, who was seeking a second term, Arkansas
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 249
Governor Bill Clinton announced he would seek the 1992 Democratic nomination for the
presidency on October 2, 1991. The upcoming presidential election would not, however,
turn out to alter the path of mergers or White House support for deregulation that was
already in play one iota.
First, though, Clinton needed money. A consummate fundraiser in his home state, he
cleverly amassed backing and established early alliances with Wall Street. One of his key
supporters would later change American banking forever. As Clinton put it, he received
invaluable early support from Ken Brody, a Goldman Sachs executive seeking to delve into
Democratic politics. Brody took Clinton to a dinner with high-powered New York
businesspeople, including Bob Rubin, whose tightly reasoned arguments for a new
economic policy, Clinton later wrote, made a lasting impression on me.
The battle for the White House kicked into high gear the following fall. William Schreyer,
chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch, showed his support for Bush by giving the maximum
personal contribution to his campaign committee permitted by law: $1,000. But he wanted
to do more. So when one of Bushs fundraisers solicited him to contribute to the
Republican National Committees nonfederal, or soft money, account, Schreyer made a
$100,000 donation.
The bankers alliances remained divided among the candidates at first, as they considered
which man would be best for their own power trajectories, but their donations were
plentiful: mortgage and broker company contributions were $1.2 million; 46% to the GOP
and 54% to the Democrats. Commercial banks poured in $14.8 million to the 1992
campaigns at a near 50-50 split.
Clinton, like every good Democrat, campaigned publicly against the bankers: Its time to end
the greed that consumed Wall Street and ruined our S&Ls [Savings and Loans] in the last
decade, he said. But equally, he had no qualms about taking money from the financial
sector. In the early months of his campaign, BusinessWeek estimated that he received $2
million of his initial $8.5 million in contributions from New York, under the care of Ken
Brody.
If I had a Ken Brody working for me in every state, Id be like the Maytag man with nothing
to do, said Rahm Emanuel, who ran Clintons nationwide fundraising committee and later
became Barack Obamas chief of staff. Wealthy donors and prospective fundraisers were
invited to a select series of intimate meetings with Clinton at the plush Manhattan office of
the prestigious private equity firm Blackstone.
Robert Rubin Comes to Washington
Clinton knew that embracing the bankers would help him get things done in Washington,
and what he wanted to get done dovetailed nicely with their desires anyway. To facilitate
his policies and maintain ties to Wall Street, he selected a man who had been instrumental
to his campaign, Robert Rubin, as his economic adviser.
In 1980, Rubin had landed on Goldman Sachs management committee alongside fellow
Democrat Jon Corzine. A decade later, Rubin and Stephen Friedman were appointed
cochairmen of Goldman Sachs. Rubins political aspirations met an appropriate opportunity
when Clinton captured the White House.
On January 25, 1993, Clinton appointed him as assistant to the president for economic
policy. Shortly thereafter, the president created a unique role for his comrade, head of the
newly created National Economic Council. I asked Bob Rubin to take on a new job, Clinton
later wrote, coordinating economic policy in the White House as Chairman of the National
Economic Council, which would operate in much the same way the National Security

Council did, bringing all the relevant agencies together to formulate and implement policy
[l]f he could balance all of [Goldman Sachs] egos and interests, he had a good chance to
succeed with the job. (Ten years later, President George W. Bush gave the same position
to Rubins old partner, Friedman.)
Back at Goldman, Jon Corzine, co-head of fixed income, and Henry Paulson, co-head of
investment banking, were ascending through the ranks. They became co-CEOs when
Friedman retired at the end of 1994.
Those two men were the perfect bipartisan duo. Corzine was a staunch Democrat serving
on the International Capital Markets Advisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York (from 1989 to 1999). He would co-chair a presidential commission for Clinton on
capital budgeting between 1997 and 1999, while serving in a key role on the Borrowing
Advisory Committee of the Treasury Department. Paulson was a well connected
Republican and Harvard graduate who had served on the White House Domestic Council
as staff assistant to the president in the Nixon administration.
Bankers Forge Ahead
By May 1995, Rubin was impatiently warning Congress that the Glass-Steagall Act could
conceivably impede safety and soundness by limiting revenue diversification. Banking
deregulation was then inching through Congress. As they had during the previous Bush
administration, both the House and Senate Banking Committees had approved separate
versions of legislation to repeal Glass-Steagall, the 1933 Act passed by the administration
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that had separated deposit-taking and lending or commercial
bank activities from speculative or investment bank activities, such as securities creation
and trading. Conference negotiations had fallen apart, though, and the effort was stalled.
By 1996, however, other industries, representing core clients of the banking sector, were
already being deregulated. On February 8, 1996, Clinton signed the Telecom Act, which
killed many independent and smaller broadcasting companies by opening a national market
for cross-ownership. The result was mass mergers in that sector advised by banks.
Deregulation of companies that could transport energy across state lines came next.
Before such deregulation, state commissions had regulated companies that owned power
plants and transmission lines, which worked together to distribute power. Afterward,
these could be divided and effectively traded without uniform regulation or responsibility
to regional customers. This would lead to blackouts in California and a slew of energy
derivatives, as well as trades at firms such as Enron that used the energy business as a
front for fraudulent deals.
The number of mergers and stock and debt issuances ballooned on the back of all the
deregulation that eliminated barriers that had kept companies separated. As industries
consolidated, they also ramped up their complex transactions and special purpose
vehicles (off-balance-sheet, offshore constructions tailored by the banking community to
hide the true nature of their debts and shield their profits from taxes). Bankers kicked into
overdrive to generate fees and create related deals. Many of these blew up in the early
2000s in a spate of scandals and bankruptcies, causing an earlier millennium recession.
Meanwhile, though, bankers plowed ahead with their advisory services, speculative
enterprises, and deregulation pursuits. President Clinton and his team would soon
provide them an epic gift, all in the name of U.S. global power and competitiveness.
Robert Rubin would steer the White House ship to that goal.
On February 12, 1999, Rubin found a fresh angle to argue on behalf of banking
deregulation. He addressed the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services,
10/18/2016

Page 251
claiming that, the problem U.S. financial services firms face abroad is more one of access
than lack of competitiveness.
He was referring to the European banks increasing control of distribution channels into the
European institutional and retail client base. Unlike U.S. commercial banks, European
banks had no restrictions keeping them from buying and teaming up with U.S. or other
securities firms and investment banks to create or distribute their products. He did not
appear concerned about the destruction caused by sizeable financial bets throughout
Europe. The international competitiveness argument allowed him to focus the committee
on what needed to be done domestically in the banking sector to remain competitive.
Rubin stressed the necessity of HR 665, the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999,
or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, that was officially introduced on February 10, 1999. He saic
it took fundamental actions to modernize our financial system by repealing the Glass-
Steagall Act prohibitions on banks affiliating with securities firms and repealing the Bank
Holding Company Act prohibitions on insurance underwriting.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Marches Forward
On February 24, 1999, in more testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, Rubin
pushed for fewer prohibitions on bank affiliates that wanted to perform the same functions
as their larger bank holding company, once the different types of financial firms could
legally merge. That minor distinction would enable subsidiaries to place all sorts of bets
and house all sorts of junk under the false premise that they had the same capital beneath
them as their parent. The idea that a subsidiarys problems cant taint or destroy the host,
or bank holding company, or create catastrophic risk, is a myth perpetuated by bankers
and political enablers that continues to this day.
Rubin had no qualms with mega-consolidations across multiple service lines. His real
problems were those of his banker friends, which lay with the financial modernization bills
prohibition on the use of subsidiaries by larger banks. The bankers wanted the right to
establish off-book subsidiaries where they could hide risks, and profits, as needed.
Again, Rubin decided to use the notion of remaining competitive with foreign banks to
make his point. This technicality was unacceptable to the administration, he said, not least
because foreign banks underwrite and deal in securities through subsidiaries in the United
States, and U.S. banks [already] conduct securities and merchant banking activities abroa<
through so-called Edge subsidiaries. Rubin got his way. These off-book, risky, and barely
regulated subsidiaries would be at the forefront of the 2008 financial crisis.
On March 1, 1999, Senator Phil Gramm released a final draft of the Financial Services
Modernization Act of 1999 and scheduled committee consideration for March 4th. A bevy ol
excited financial titans who were close to Clinton, including Travelers CEO Sandy Weill,
Bank of America CEO, Hugh McColl, and American Express CEO Harvey Golub, called for
swift congressional action.
The Quintessential Revolving-Door Man
The stock market continued its meteoric rise in anticipation of a banker-friendly conclusion
to the legislation that would deregulate their industry. Rising consumer confidence
reflected the nations fondness for the markets and lack of empathy with the rest of the
worlds economic plight. On March 29, 1999, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above
10,000 for the first time. Six weeks later, on May 6th, the Financial Services Modernization
Act passed the Senate. It legalized, after the fact, the merger that created the nations
biggest bank. Citigroup, the marriage of Citibank and Travelers, had been finalized the
previous October.

It was not until that point that one of Glass-Steagalls main assassins decided to leave
Washington. Six days after the bill passed the Senate, on May 12, 1999, Robert Rubin
abruptly announced his resignation. As Clinton wrote, I believed he had been the best and
most important treasury secretary since Alexander Hamilton He had played a decisive role
in our efforts to restore economic growth and spread its benefits to more Americans.
Clinton named Larry Summers to succeed Rubin. Two weeks later, BusinessWeek reporter
signs of trouble in merger paradise in the form of a growing rift between John Reed, the
former Chairman of Citibank, and Sandy Weill at the new Citigroup. As Reed said, Co-
CEOs are hard. Perhaps to patch their rift, or simply to take advantage of a political
opportunity, the two men enlisted a third person to join their relationship none other than
Robert Rubin.
Rubins resignation from Treasury became effective on July 2nd. At that time, he
announced, This almost six and a half years has been all-consuming, and I think it is time
for me to go home to New York and to do whatever Im going to do next. Rubin became
chairman of Citigroups executive committee and a member of the newly created office of
the chairman. His initial annual compensation package was worth around $40 million. It was
more than worth the hit he took when he left Goldman for the Treasury post.
Three days after the conference committee endorsed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill, Rubin
assumed his Citigroup position, joining the institution destined to dominate the financial
industry. That very same day, Reed and Weill issued a joint statement praising Washingtor
for liberating our financial companies from an antiquated regulatory structure, stating that
this legislation will unleash the creativity of our industry and ensure our global
competitiveness.
On November 4th, the Senate approved the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by a vote of 90 to 8.
(The House voted 36257 in favor.) Critics famously referred to it as the Citigroup
Authorization Act.
Mirth abounded in Clintons White House. Today Congress voted to update the rules that
have governed financial services since the Great Depression and replace them with a
system for the twenty-first century, Summers said. This historic legislation will better
enable American companies to compete in the new economy.
But the happiness was misguided. Deregulating the banking industry might have helped th
titans of Wall Street but not people on Main Street. The Clinton era epitomized the vast
difference between appearance and reality, spin and actuality. As the decade drew to a
close, Clinton basked in the glow of a lofty stock market, a budget surplus, and the
passage of this key banking modernization. It would be revealed in the 2000s that many
corporate profits of the 1990s were based on inflated evaluations, manipulation, and fraud.
When Clinton left office, the gap between rich and poor was greater than it had been in
1992, and yet the Democrats heralded him as some sort of prosperity hero.
When he resigned in 1997, Robert Reich, Clintons labor secretary, said, America is
prospering, but the prosperity is not being widely shared, certainly not as widely shared a«
it once was We have made progress in growing the economy. But growing together again
must be our central goal in the future. Instead, the growth of wealth inequality in the
United States accelerated, as the men yielding the most financial power wielded it with
increasingly less culpability or restriction. By 2015, that wealth or prosperity gap would
stand near historic highs.
The power of the bankers increased dramatically in the wake of the repeal of Glass-
Steagall. The Clinton administration had rendered twenty-first-century banking practices

similar to those of the pre-1929 crash. But worse. Modernizing meant utilizing government-
backed depositors funds as collateral for the creation and distribution of all types of
complex securities and derivatives whose proliferation would be increasingly quick and
dangerous.
Eviscerating Glass-Steagall allowed big banks to compete against Europe and also
enabled them to go on a rampage: more acquisitions, greater speculation, and more risky
products. The big banks used their bloated balance sheets to engage in more complex
activity, while counting on customer deposits and loans as capital chips on the global
betting table. Bankers used hefty trading profits and wealth to increase lobbying funds
and campaign donations, creating an endless circle of influence and mutual reinforcement
of boundary-less speculation, endorsed by the White House.
Deposits could be used to garner larger windfalls, just as cheap labor and commodities in
developing countries were used to formulate more expensive goods for profit in the upper
echelons of the global financial hierarchy. Energy and telecoms proved especially fertile
ground for the investment banking fee business (and later for fraud, extensive lawsuits,
and bankruptcies). Deregulation greased the wheels of complex financial instruments
such as collateralized debt obligations, junk bonds, toxic assets, and unregulated
derivatives.
The Glass-Steagall repeal led to unfettered derivatives growth and unstable balance sheets
at commercial banks that merged with investment banks and at investment banks that
preferred to remain solo but engaged in dodgier practices to remain competitive. In
conjunction with the tight political-financial alignment and associated collaboration that
began with Bush and increased under Clinton, bankers channeled the 1920s, only with
more power over an immense and growing pile of global financial assets and increasingly
open markets. In the process, accountability would evaporate.
Every bank accelerated its hunt for acquisitions and deposits to amass global influence
while creating, trading, and distributing increasingly convoluted securities and
derivatives. These practices would foster the kind of shaky, interconnected, and opaque
financial environment that provided the backdrop and conditions leading up to the
financial meltdown of 2008.
The Realities of 2016
Hillary Clinton is, of course, not her husband. But her access to his past banker alliances,
amplified by the ones that she has formed herself, makes her more of a friend than an
adversary to the banking industry. In her brief 2008 candidacy, all four of the New York-
based Big Six banks ranked among her top 10 corporate donors https://
www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00000019 . They have also
contributed to the Clinton Foundation. She needs them to win, just as both Barack Obama
and Bill Clinton did.
No matter what spin is used for campaigning purposes, the idea that a critical distance car
be maintained between the White House and Wall Street is naive given the multiple
channels of money and favors that flow between the two. It is even more improbable, given
the history of connections that Hillary Clinton has established through her associations
with key bank leaders in the early 1990s, during her time as a senator from New York, and
given their contributions to the Clinton foundation while she was secretary of state. At
some level, the situation couldnt be less complicated: her path aligns with that of the
countrys most powerful bankers. If she becomes president, that will remain the case.

PATRIOTIC FI MILLIONAIRES
Friend,
If you ever need proof that money corrupts our political system, look no further than the carried interest tax
loophole.
What ‘carried interest’ does which allows hedge fund managers to pay capital gains rates on income that
logically should be characterized as ordinary income. Meaning that a hedge fund manager on Wall Street
who makes $1 5,000,000 a year will pay a lower effective tax rate that a kindergarten teacher at your
neighborhood elementary school.
It’s tax breaks and loopholes like these that cause Americans to lose faith in their government. And we’re not
going to be quite about it.
Tune in tonight to PBS NewsHour, where Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl will be featured
discussing this egregious loophole and the need to close it. You can go to the NewsHour website here to
check your local listings and tune in.
Here is what some of the Patriotic Millionaires have to say about carried interest:
“I used to be in the money management business and the only reason why people who manage money have
a lower tax rate than people who actually work for a living is that hedge fund managers are more active at
making political donations,” said Patriotic Millionaires Chair Morris Pearl, former Managing Director of
BlackRock Inc.
"I am in the hedge fund and private equity business and the carried interest loophole is welfare for the
wealthy," said Patriotic Millionaires Terence Meehan, Chairman of Azimuth Investment Management
“The real mystery is how this tax break for billionaires has managed to survive all these years when
everyone knows that it makes no sense for people who have no capital at risk to receive this kind of
favorable tax treatment,” said Patriotic Millionaire Jeffery Gural, Chairman of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank
“If it quacks like a duck it should be taxed like a duck!” said Patriotic Millionaire Frank Pattitucci, CEO &
Owner of NuCompass Mobility
So please tune in tonight to PBS NewsHour (click here to check your local listings) and then reply to this
email letting us know what you think about the carried interest tax loophole.
You can read more about the loophole in the op-ed in The Hill that was written by Morris below.
Thank you for all your support,

What the carried interest tax loophole reveals about our corrupt political system
Running a government that works for 300 million Americans is expensive. Running a corrupt American
government is unsustainable.
There is no more striking example of the cost of corruption than tax loopholes that benefit the 1 percent of
the 1 percent.
In 2014, the top 25 hedge fund mangers made more money than every single kindergarten teacher in
America. Yet, because of the “carried interest” tax loophole those 25 people actually paid a lower tax rate.
To put it more starkly, individuals making more than $450 million a year on average are taxed at a lower rate
than teachers making around $50,000 on average.
Carried interest allows money managers to treat much of their fees on their clients’ investments as capital
gains, which are taxed at a maximum rate of 23.8 percent instead of the 39.6 percent rate applied to ordinary
income. At a time when wages for working people have stagnated at 1 990 levels, it is an outrage for a small
group of hedge fund operators to have their income taxed at a lower rate.
Closing the carried interest loophole would be an important step toward a more economically equitable
America.
Taxing carried interest at ordinary income rates would raise $18 billion over 10 years, according to a
Treasury Department estimate. Other tax experts say it would actually generate closer to $180
b lior in revenue.
That’s just enough to cover the shortfall in the Highway T rust Fund. That’s half the cost of guaranteeing
every worker paid family and medical leave. With that money we could ensure every child - rich or poor - has
the opportunity to attend a pre-K program.
But when Wall Street has unlimited access to politicians because of campaign contributions, Main Street
America travels on crumbling roads and bridges, working mothers give birth one day and are back in the
office the next, and children in lower and middle class families miss out on critical education in their formative
years.
President Obama last week renewed his call on Congress to do away with this indefensible tax break ahead
of the next budget showdown at the end of the month. Leading presidential candidates in both parties -
Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Jeb Bush - advocate closing the loophole and taxing capital gains as
regular income.
But bi-partisan opposition also runs deeps. Last year then-Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) proposed a
sweeping tax reform plan that included treating carried interest as regular income. The plan was dead on
arrival. In 2010, the House passed a bill closing the loophole, but it was scuttled in the Senate by members of
both parties with strong ties to Wall Street.

In 2012 and 2014, financial interests spent
to help elect politicians from both
parties to Congress. Managers of Paulson & Co., one of the largest hedge funds, dropped nearly $2.5
million in the last two federal election cycles. Executives of Elliot Management, another large fund,
spent $23 million over that time. Savvy investors don’t throw around this kind of money if they aren’t
getting something back in return.
Whether it’s a contracting process that awards the companies with the best lobbyists instead of the best
services, taxpayer funded subsidies to the same multi-billion dollar companies spending millions of dollars to
elect politicians to office, or the carried interest loophole, everyday Americans pay a heavy price for a
government of, by, and for wealthy special interests.
It’s great to see a growing consensus among some White House hopefuls to end preferential tax treatment
for hedge fund managers, but the fact remains that Congress is still beholden to the wealthy donors funding
their reelections.
Severing the ties between Wall Street and Congress with, for example, a small donor matching system that
incentivizes candidates to raise campaign funds from everyday Americans would not only help us realize the
promise of democracy envisioned by the Founders, it would also turn the political tide against the carried
interest loophole and other welfare for the wealthy.
If we don’t rebalance our democracy so it responds to the needs of the many instead of the few, the middle
class will continue to bear the costs of corruption.
-Morris Pearl,
Chair of The Patriotic Millionaires

Hi Professor Podesta:
I had a question about the due date of the final paper for the Congressional Investigations course. I'm a
graduating senior, and understand that papers for graduating seniors are generally due on April 28. However,
the syllabus for the class lists a due date on May 9 for graduating seniors. I was wondering if that due date was
still accurate.
Thanks very much! Hope you're having a good weekend.
Best wishes,

Tech giants don’t want Obama to give police access to encrypted phone data
Tech behemoths including Apple and Google and leading cryptologists are urging President Obama to reject
any government proposal that alters the security of smartphones and other communications devices so that law
enforcement can view decrypted data.
In a letter to be sent Tuesday and obtained by The Washington Post, a coalition of tech firms, security experts
and others appeal to the White House to protect privacy rights as it considers how to address law enforcement’s
need to access data that is increasingly encrypted.
“Strong encryption is the cornerstone of the modern information economy’s security,” said the letter, signed by
more than 140 tech companies, prominent technologists and civil society groups.
The letter comes as senior law enforcement officials warn about the threat to public safety from a loss of
access to data and communications. Apple and Google last year announced they were offering forms of
smartphone encryption so secure that even law enforcement agencies could not gain access — even with a
warrant.
“There’s no doubt that all of us should care passionately about privacy, but we should also care passionately
about protecting innocent people,” FBI Director James B. Comey said at a recent roundtable with reporters.
Last fall, after the announcements by Apple and Google, Comey said he could not understand why
companies would “market something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law.”
FBI and Justice Department officials say they support the use of encryption but want a way for officials to get the
lawful access they need.
Many technologists say there is no way to do so without building a separate key to unlock the data — often
called a “backdoor,” which they say amounts to a vulnerability that can be exploited by hackers and foreign
governments.
The letter is signed by three of the five members of a presidential review group appointed by Obama in 201 3 to
assess technology policies in the wake of leaks by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. The
signatories urge Obama to follow the group’s unanimous recommendation that the government should “fully
support and not undermine efforts to create encryption standards” and not “in any way subvert, undermine,
weaken or make vulnerable” commercial software.
Richard A. Clarke, former cybersecurity adviser to President George W. Bush and one of three review group
members to sign the letter, noted that a similar effort by the government in the 1990s to require phone
companies to build a backdoor for encrypted voice calls was rebuffed. “If they couldn’t pull it off at the end of the
Cold War, they sure as hell aren’t going to pull it off now,” he said.
Comey, he said, “is the best FBI director I’ve ever seen,” but “he’s wrong on this [issue].”

Congress, too, is unlikely to pass legislation that would require technology companies to develop keys or other
modes of access to their products and services in the post-Snowden area.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed skepticism toward the pleas of law enforcement agencies.
Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat with a computer science degree, called backdoors in
software “technologically stupid.”
Ronald L. Rivest, an inventor of the RSA encryption algorithm (his name is the “R” in “RSA”), said standards can
be weakened to allow law enforcement officials access to encrypted data. “But,” he said, “you’ve done great
damage to our security infrastructure if you do that.”
The issue is not simply national, said Rivest, a computer science professor at MIT who signed the letter. “Once
you make exceptions for U.S. law enforcement, you’re also making exceptions for the British, the French, the
Israelis and the Chinese, and eventually it’ll be the North Koreans.”
The signatories include policy experts who normally side with national-security hawks. Paul Rosenzweig, a
former Bush administration senior policy official at the Department of Homeland Security, said: “If I actually
thought there was a way to build a U.S. -government-only backdoor, then I might be persuaded. But that’s just
not reality.”
Rosenzweig said that “there are other capabilities” that law enforcement can deploy. They will be “less
satisfying,” he said, but “they will make do.”
Privacy activist Kevin Bankston organized the letter to maintain pressure on the White House. “Since last fall, the
president has been letting his top law enforcement officials criticize companies for making their devices more
secure and letting them suggest that Congress should pass pro-backdoor legislation,” said Bankston, policy
director of the New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute.
“It’s time for Obama to put an end to these dangerous suggestions that we should deliberately weaken the
cybersecurity of Americans’ products and services,” he said. “It’s time for America to lead the world toward a
more secure future rather than a digital ecosystem riddled with vulnerabilities of our own making.”

FROM MORNING CYBERSECURITY: HUGE COALITION PRESSURES WHITE HOUSE ON
ENCRYPTION — Nearly 150 civil society groups, trade groups and cybersecurity experts this morning

New Survey Shows Overwhelming Support among Latinos for Health Care Reform That Includes Public
Option
http://www.pr-inside.com/new-survev-shows-overwhelming-support-among-rl607266.htm
A new poll released today by Latino Decisions, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Center for Flealth Policy at the
University of New Mexico (UNM-RWJF Center), and impreMedia, shows a widespread consensus among the Latino/
Hispanic electoral about the importance of health care reform and indicates significant support for expansion of coverage.
For the first time health care tops the list of national issues identified by respondents, as the most important issue Congress
and the President need to address. This is particularly impressive, given that in April 2009 a similar Latino Decisions poll
found that only 6% of the Latino electorate had identified health care as the most important issue.
The national survey of 1,000 Latino registered voters shows that there is broad-based and overwhelming support
not just for health care reform, but 74% support a plan that includes a public option to compete with private
insurance programs
Fewer than half of the Republicans and Republican-leaners see the party's leadership as
taking the GOP in the "right direction"
http://www.washingtonpost.eom/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/l 1/29/AR20091 12902935_pf.html
Fewer than half of the Republicans and Republican-leaners surveyed by The Washington Post see the party's
leadership as taking the GOP in the "right direction," down sharply from this time four years ago. About four in 10
are dissatisfied with the policy proposals being offered by congressional Republicans, and similar numbers see the
current crop of GOP legislators as out of touch with their problems and personal values. Nearly a third say the Republicans
in Congress are not standing up for the party's core values.
[...]
Just 1 percent pick George W. Bush as the best reflection of the party's principles, and only a single person in the poll
cites former vice president Richard B. Cheney. About seven in 10 say Bush bears at least "some" of the blame for the
party's problems.
Limbaugh, still, the undisputed leader of the Republican Party . . .

Poll: Limbaugh is most influential conservative
NEW YORK — By a wide margin, Americans consider Rush Limbaugh the nation's most influential conservative voice.
Those are the results of a poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and Vanity Fair magazine and issued Sunday. The radio host was
picked by 26 percent of those who responded, followed by Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck at 1 1 percent. Actual politicians
— former Vice President Dick Cheney and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin — were the choice of 10 percent
each.

Subject: Help General Sanchez Get to the US Senate
Jj votevets.org
Dear John,
Today I’m writing with some exciting news. We have a chance to send a veteran to the Senate, from Texas.
Not only that, but this veteran also happens to be a retired Lieutenant General who commanded forces in Iraq.
Today, we’re endorsing Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez (USA, Ret.) for Senate. He needs your help.
CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO SANCHEZ FOR SENATE
General Sanchez has a compelling story and honorably served our country in uniform. He’ll make an
outstanding Senator for the people of Texas. We're always happy to see veterans entering politics as a way to
continue their public service, but it's especially encouraging to see one of our military's finest minds, General
Sanchez, look to continue that service as a public servant. General Sanchez knows what this generation of
warriors has gone through, and how Washington can best serve them. For the people of the state of Texas, they
will have a Senator who is committed to America’s security, and just as committed to the state he loves
General Sanchez graduated from Texas A&l University in Kingsville, Texas, and was commissioned as a second
lieutenant in 1 973. After decades of service, following nomination to Lieutenant General, he assumed
command in Baghdad, Iraq, of the Army's Fifth Corps and became the commander of one of the largest combat
forces deployed in US military history. Upon the reorganization of command-and-control structures in Iraq, he
commanded Headquarters, Multi-National Forces (Iraq) from 14 May 2004 to 1 July 2004. After 33 years of
service, he retired in 2006.
CLICK HERE TO SEND RICARDO SANCHEZ TO THE SENATE
Texas is a huge state, and running for office there isn’t cheap. But any donation you can afford will go a long
way towards sending Ric Sanchez to the Senate. This is an open seat, because Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson
is stepping down, so it is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with strong credentials - like General Sanchez
- to win. Please click the link above, and help get him to the finish line!
Sincerely,
Ashwin Madia

Dear Hannah, attached for the President is the latest biweekly update from CCI. Please note the mention of new CCI requests for
$30 million in funding for forestry programs, as excerpted below. We'd welcome his feedback. Thanks, Ami
“CCI has recently submitted several funding proposals for the extension of our forestry work, with more than $30 million
outstanding. These include a proposal to Australia’s Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) as well
as four proposals to Germany's Climate Change Initiative (ICI) for landscape restoration in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania;
integrating project level MRV into the Tanzania national MRV system; climate change adaptation in the Lake Turkana basin;
and village scale renewable and wood energy in Malawi. We have also submitted a pre-qualification proposal for several
DFID grants.”

Hello Mr. Podesta,
I hope you are well. I am writing you to arrange a meeting between Hip Hop icon and visionary Q-Tip and
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. He would like to meet with her to discuss ways he can be
used as bridge to the Hip Hop generation during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Q-Tip who is an ambassador member of Harry Belafonte’s Sankofa.org has long been highly committed to
issues of social justice. Q-Tip is devoted to amplifying the voices of the disenfranchised in an effort to promote
justice, peace and equal rights for all. He is a big supporter of the work Mrs. Clinton has done throughout her
career and has also worked alongside former president Bill Clinton at a 2003 DNC fundraiser. He even served
as DJ for Chelsea Clinton’s 25th birthday party in 2005. He’s had a lasting track record with the Clinton’s
throughout the years. In fact, he had hoped to see Mrs. Clinton at his close friend Tory Burch’s fundraiser
tomorrow in The Hamptons. However, due to a prior commitment in Los Angeles, he will be not be able to
make it.
Q-Tip would love to have short one-on-one with Mrs. Clinton as soon as her schedule permits. He will return
to New York City on Monday.
Please let me know what can be arranged at your earliest convenience. Q-Tip is passionate about helping
Mrs. Clinton secure a victory in this presidential race. Thank you in advance for your time.
All the best,

» Her Ferguson comments were so well received, despite criticism for their tardiness, because she said
something new and unique. It made her look like a leader. I echo Dan's concern that something too generic will
look like she's merely checking the box, particularly as a paper statement. If the goal is only to tell the press
immediately that she supports the President, I think Dan's suggestion of a tweet tonight followed by something
more thoughtful at the event tomorrow, makes sense to me. The press might only care about her backing the
President, but I imagine there are some vocal constituencies that will look very carefully at the entire statement
and whether it shows personal concern and thought.

I’ve tried here to express support for POTUS without getting bogged down in the details of what is sure to be an
unpopular measure, seen as both too much and too little, and then pivot to the need for broader Congressional
action (defined by a set of principles rather than by slavish attachment to the DOA Senate bill). I also went back
to our 2013 statement on gay marriage and reprised the theme of urging respectful, substantive debate and
recognizing that a lot of people aren’t going to agree with us on this. Finally, I tried to root the issue in the lived

Dear Bruce, WJC called earlier today to say we should explore this and be helpful to the extent we think it makes sense within the
structures of CF and CGI. In short, Eva Gonda (introduced to us by Mark Weiner) would like to undertake a research project to
develop a workplan for philanthropic organizations interested in improving education (beginning in the US). The Gonda family
(history below) is willing to fund it. It feels like the best way forward would be for Eva to join CGI (probably beginning with CGI
America), make this research project her "Commitment to Action," and then we can have a discussion with her next year after
she's developed "the workplan," to determine together if there is any parts of the workplan that we would want CF to
operationalize (with funding from the Gonda family). Importantly, Eva is asking if CF can serve right now as a pass-through for
her to carry out this research, since she doesn't have a 501c3. We can have her join CGI either way, but I got the impression it's
important for her that we be the pass-through, and I'm only raising this because of the enormous potential WJC and Mark have
said this family has to be supportive of CF. I'd welcome your guidance. We're probably talking about $80k that would be passed
through. Thanks, Ami

businessman and entrepreneur. He and his son, Lou (Eva’s father) started International Lease Finance in 1973.
They have been named among Forbes list of riches American billionaires.
Leslie Gonda has been a major benefactor of many medial institutions, museums, and charities. The Leslie and
Susan Gonda Foundation has created centers, laboratories, and endowments to meet the needs of vascular,
diabetes, genetic and neuroscientific research at major medical institutions and universities around the globe.
Examples of the Gonda’s philanthropy include the Gonda Vascular Centers at UCLA and the Mayo Clinic, The
Gonda Center for Diabetes and Genetic Research at the City of Hope and Georgetown.
They believe through education and advances in medicine, generations in the future will be able to meet the
challenges of an increasingly competitive world and lead productive and meaningful lives. They believe in this
country that has been so great to them and want to give back. They are willing to fund the cost of this project.
Looking forward to our meeting Thursday.
Best,
Mark

Subject: Update - Happy Holidays [VIDEO]
J j Joe Sestak for Senate
Dear John,
Every year, Christmas brings the Sestak family together - my wife Susan and our
daughter Alex join my mom, my brother and seven sisters and their kids. There really
isn't a dinner table big enough! However we celebrate the holidays -- Christmas,
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and others -- this season always seems to bring loved ones
together. So from my family to yours, we wish you joy and happiness heading into the
new year.

This year, we have a lot to celebrate, but we also have to remain committed to
helping one another in these difficult times. Throughout the state, I meet
Pennsylvanians who have been hit hardest by the recession. One in eleven of us are
still looking for work. For those who have jobs, wages remain flat while our utility bills
and grocery bills continue to go up. That's why I've been working in Congress to help
working families who have borne the brunt of this recession through no fault of their
own.

sure the end of this recession becomes a real recovery for Pennsylvania - Click

Helping Laid Off Workers About to Lose Their Health Care
I am grateful that the House of Representatives included my legislation to extend
COBRA health benefits in the jobs bill that passed this week. Since I introduced the
bill in October to assist workers who are still looking for jobs by continuing the
government's 65 percent subsidy of COBRA'S premium costs for the unemployed, my
office has been getting emails and calls from coast to coast. The assistance, which I
helped pass as part of the Economic Stimulus Bill, began to expire starting at the
beginning of this month. When I recently met with over a dozen people who have lost
or are about to lose their health care coverage if Congress fails to act, one could so
readily see the damage unaccountable leadership in Washington has brought about,

and why we need to help those who are being laid off and losing health care through
no fault of their own.
Here are some of the clips from our meeting at the Philadelphia Unemployment
Project office:
CBS 3 News Report - Click Here
Fox 29 News Report - Click Here
Losing one's job is difficult enough. Losing health coverage for ourselves or our
families, while fearing bankruptcy in the event of injury or illness, is something none
of us should have to face heading into the holiday season. I now urge the Senate to
move swiftly and follow our lead in passing this COBRA extension by year's end.
Here are just a few stories from the people I met with.
Keeping Families in Their Homes
My Congressional office has already worked to help hundreds of Pennsylvania
families facing foreclosure stay in their homes. A survey of five central Pennsylvania
offices shows that families living in that region could be at the greatest risk --
foreclosures are on pace to increase by 30 percent.
We've taken a number of critical steps to stem the tide of foreclosures, but it is clear
that more comprehensive action is needed. That's why I introduced a bill to provide
$100 million in competitive federal matching grants to states and localities that initiate
foreclosure diversion programs. Philadelphia's program, which brings mortgage
holders and lenders together for a "conciliation conference," has already helped
boost the number of mortgage modifications to keep families in their home. Click

We Have to Learn to Work Together
Many school districts throughout Pennsylvania are suffering from high costs for
transportation for special education students because of a failure to effectively
coordinate these services between school districts. So I introduced legislation to
encourage broader cooperation between school districts. This way, we can reduce
costs and more efficiently provide educational services to students. Schools in the
Lehigh Valley are already leading by example. Bethlehem's school district partners
with Northampton Area School District to cover the costs of sending special education
students to an out-of-district school. If the two districts did not split the costs, it would
cost Bethlehem Area double. Click Here
New Wall Street Safeguards Mark Clear Break with Old Policies
Just months after passing an Economic Stimulus Bill to rescue America from the worst
economic downturn since the Great Depression, I helped pass new legislation that will
restore oversight to the financial markets, provide mechanisms for limiting executive
pay, and prevent predatory lending practices. Click Here
These difficult times require leaders who will challenge Wall Street on behalf of
working families. Still, there are some who will neither stand up and correct the
abuses that occurred in the gambling with earnings of working families, nor admit
responsibility for removing the referee from Wall Street and for their role in backing
the Bush Administration's failed economic policies. Instead, we need principled,
accountable leadership in government to restore the people's trust in their elected
officials.
I disagree with the record of voting by our present Senator, Arlen Specter, when he
10/18/2016

supported policies that failed to protect the interests of the working family:
• De-regulating Wall Street, forbidding any requirement for reporting derivative
transactions, tearing down the walls between investment companies and
consumer banks, and removing requirements that banks keep sufficient cash
reserves on hand. (S. 900, Vote #105, 5/6/99) (H.R. 4577, 12/15/2000)
• Repeatedly backing Bush's deficit-funded tax breaks for multi-millionaires,
doubling our national debt from $4.5 trillion to over $9 trillion.
• Eliminating "pay-as-you-go" (PAYGO) rules, which had created 3 budget
surpluses under President Clinton by requiring Congress to offset the cost of
any new spending programs. (H.R. 5708, Vote #482, 1 1/14/2002)
• Voting to strip a key provision to save homes from foreclosure by empowering
bankruptcy judges to reduce principal and interest rates for homeowners in
bankruptcy [S AMDT 1014, 4/30/09],
Pennsylvanians are still feeling the effects of these misguided policies, which let Wall
Street greed go unchecked. At its worst point, 7,000 Americans lost their jobs every
month, and 5.4 million have been looking for work for at least 27 weeks. Families
have lost homes to foreclosure, bringing down property values across the state.
Many seniors who have worked their entire lives have seen their retirement savings
and pensions wiped out. As your next Senator, I'll work to rebuild Pennsylvania for
everyone.
As we head into the cool winter months, our campaign to rebuild Pennsylvania
continues to heat up. We've traveled to all 67 counties, we're taking on the
establishment, and we continue to grow our support. As we approach the New Year,
I'm resolved to keep working side-by-side with you so that we can bring a new
generation of leadership to the U.S. Senate and rebuild Pennsylvania's middle class.
Here are six ways you can help.
1. Sign-up to volunteer and represent Joe Sestak at an event in your
neighborhood.
2. Contact us to do remote phone-banking to tell people in your community
about Joe Sestak.
3. Give $5, $10, $25, or $50 to help us expand our campaign locally to your
area.
4. Tell your friends on Twitter and Facebook that you support Joe Sestak.
5. Submit a letter to the editor of your local newspaper in support of Joe Sestak
for Senate
6. Forward this email to at least 5 of your friends and neighbors.
Thank you for taking part in this campaign! Please forward this email to your
friends.
Warmly, and Happy Holidays,
Joe Sestak

I see that Rick Perry is saying that the financial crisis was caused by the affordable housing goals for Fannie and Freddie
established under Bill. Are you involved in Hillary's campaign? If so, and if she wants anyone to advise her on this topic, it
is an area I have worked on for many years. I don't think the housing goals had much to do with the crisis, but to the extent
that they might have, it was the goals established under George W. Bush.

Sub'ect' '-AS"*" CALL | Manuel Pastor invites your feedback (again) on framework for state-level progressive
governance
USC Program foe Environmental
& Regional Equity
Dear John,
As our team returns from site visits in the states of Washington, Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, and Nevada, it is clearer than ever
that states have become key testing grounds for progressive policy ideas, framing, and new organizing strategies. What is
required to build towards and sustain effective, state-level, progressive governance? What are the characteristics that indicate or
nourish progressive governance, and what factors explain and move a state towards achieving it?
We invite you to join us this Thursday, November 5 th from l-3p EST/10a-12p PST for a web-conference by phone with a small set
of funders, organizers, and academics who have advised us on this States of Change project. States of Change is not just a
reference to the geography but more so to the "state" of change - or the conditions, arenas, and capacities for achieving
progressive governance. This will be a follow up to the call we hosted on January 23 and will be the last in our research process
before we finalize and publicly release our results.
Since January, we have interviewed over 60 stakeholders in our case study states, refined our preliminary framework based on
the field interviews, and updated our quantitative assessment of the states with the most recent data available. At this web-
convening, we will report on our findings, discuss ways in which this framework can be useful in the current political moment, and
identify potential audiences and users in order to shape plans for the public release.
We hope that you can join us. We value your guidance for the next phase of our work and for what we hope will be the ultimate
outcome of this research: a shared platform to facilitate thinking and discussion about long-term investments that can allow for
social-justice goals to be achieved at scale.
This is the last call to RSVP at https ://usccollege.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV OOCrDwiE9G8EeZn . If you have any questions,
please contact Lauren Portillo at IportillfSusc.edu or (213) 740-3643. While this will be a conference call— the main purpose
is to provoke a lively conversation— there will also be a webinar component. Background materials, agenda, and call-in and
webinar log-in information will be sent in advance.
Our best,
Manuel Pastor, Jennifer Ito, and the team at USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE)

Mark McCullough, 202-730-7283
As Presidential Election enters its final weeks...
SEIU Members Make Health Care Deciding Issue For Uncommitted
Voters
New Ad, Field Blitz Targets Undecided Voters With Information On Candidates’ Health Care
Plans
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, SEIU announced a new, multi-state television and field campaign aimed at targeting
undecided voters in the final weeks of the presidential election with information on the difference between the Obama and
McCain health care plans.
On Friday, the Associated Press reported that while voters prefer Barack Obama’s health care plan to John McCain’s,
many voters - particularly independents and seniors - do not have a clear understanding of the differences between the two
proposals. SEIU’s new effort - which incorporates advertising, mail, phone calls, and door-to-door canvassing - aims at
providing undecided voters with detailed information about the candidates’ health care plans.
Beginning Monday, SEIU will begin airing a new television ad, titled “Worried Sick,” in two battleground states. The ad
underscores the deep concerns working families have about health care - and how John McCain’s health care plan would
make a bad problem worse by taxing health benefits and denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. In addition to the
ad, SEIU is engaging voters directly in battleground states across the country:
• SEIU members are knocking on doors and sharing a new, side-by-side comparison of the Obama and McCain health
care proposals with voters;
• SEIU’s Americans for Health Care campaign is distributing a side-by-side comparison to voters; and
• Nurses, home care aides, and other SEIU healthcare workers are using mail, phone calls, and internet technology to
reach one million union and non-union healthcare workers with information about the candidates’ plans.
“With the economy continuing to sour, more and more voters are taking a good, hard look at what how the policy proposals
offered by Barack Obama and John McCain are going to affect their families’ bottom line,” said SEIU Secretary-Treasurer
Anna Burger. “Health care is a critical part of that equation, and SEIU members are focusing all of their energy to make
sure that in these final weeks of the election, voters have the facts about where the candidates stand on health care.”
Over the past year and a half, SEIU members have made health care a central issue in the presidential election:
• In March, 2007, SEIU and the Center for American Progress Action Fund hosted the first presidential forum
focused on health care;
• In August, 2007, Barack Obama spent the day working alongside home care worker Pauline Beck as part of SEIU’s
“ walk a day in my shoes ” program;
• In April, 2008, SEIU launched its first ad of the general election , featuring nurses and other healthcare workers
expressing their concerns about John McCain’s health care proposals;
• For four months, SEIU’s Road to American Health Care bus tour traveled 8500 miles, holding events in 17 states
that featured real people struggling to keep up with rising health care costs;
• SEIU’s report, “ Making a Bad Problem Worse ,” details how John McCain’s health care proposal would make it
harder for average families to get quality, affordable health coverage;
• SEIU has targeted key Senate and House races with mail, phone calls, and earned and paid media - including
television ads - in order to help elect a pro-health care majority in Congress ;
• SEIU has helped host dozens of press conferences highlighting how McCain’s health care plan would impact key
groups, such as women and veterans, and helped release a Center for American Progress state-bv-state analysis
of McCain’s proposal.

VO: Worried sick about healthcare costs? John McCain’s plan won’t help. McCain’s healthcare plan would raise taxes

NSN Daily Update: A Bad Day for U.S. Counterterrorism Policy
After toppling the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Bush administration shifted its focus to Iraq - a country that had nothing to do
with 9/1 1 — instead of finishing the job. Today, we are still paying for this terrible strategic mistake. In Afghanistan, the
situation continues to deteriorate as the American commander asks for 15,000 additional troops on top of the increases
already planned for later this year. In Pakistan’s FATA region, al Qaeda has established a new safe haven. Today, Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mullen is in Pakistan trying to salvage an understanding on how we work with the Pakistani
government to go after al Qaeda terrorists. And in Yemen we had another reminder of the continued threat as the U.S.
embassy came under attack. Clearly, the Bush administration’s focus on Iraq - a focus John McCain promises to continue —
has not helped the U.S. deal with terrorism.
Six years after the Bush Administration turned from Afghanistan to Iraq, the mission there is under tremendous
strain, and the American Commander is calling for 15,000 additional troops. Starting in 2002, the Bush Administration
let its fixation with Iraq draw resources and attention away from this front where the 9-1 1 attacks originated. As a result,
matters are more dire. In Afghanistan, “about 194 foreign soldiers have been killed this year, the highest number since the
U.S. -led invasion in October 200 1 . . .On his fourth visit to Afghanistan as defense secretary, Mr. Gates endorsed calls by the
senior American commander, Gen. David McKiernan, for three more combat brigades (15,000 troops), in addition to the
extra battalion and extra brigade that President Bush has ordered deployed by early next year.” Moreover, Afghan security
forces remain incapable of standing on their own, sometimes even imperiling U.S. efforts to hunt Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
[NY Times, 9/17/08 . Washington Independent, 9/16/08 .]
Lacking a plan to combat the extremist safe-havens in northwest Pakistan, the U.S. struggles to contain instability
and deal with increasing frustration from Pakistan’s government. Tensions in Pakistan have jeopardized the U.S.’
most important counter-terrorism effort. “The United States' top military officer flew unexpectedly into Pakistan on
Tuesday night to meet with senior officials amid a tense confrontation between the two allies over recent U.S. military
incursions into Pakistan in pursuit of al-Qaeda and Taliban extremists.” Events have brought into relief the consequences of
the Bush Administration’s failure to meet “its national security goals to destroy the terrorist threat and close the safe haven in
Pakistan’s FATA region.” [Washington Post, 9/16/08 . NSN, 4/24/08 . GAO, 4/17/08 ]
Attacks on the U.S. embassy in Yemen serve as chilling reminder of how our counter-terrorism strategy has fallen
short. “Heavily armed militants opened fire on the United States Embassy in Sana, Yemen, on Wednesday and detonated a
car bomb at its gates, in an attack that left at least 16 people dead including six of the attackers, Yemeni officials said.”
“Yemen has long been viewed as a haven for jihadists. It became a special concern for the United States in 2000, after Al
Qaeda operatives rammed the U.S.S. Cole in Aden harbor, on Yemen’s southern coast, killing 17 American sailors.”
President Bush has expressed his firm belief that Iraq is the “central front” on the war on terror, since al Qaeda will fight
“wherever we are.” “But, over the past two years, jihadists claiming allegiance to Al Qaeda appear to have reorganized,
releasing more propaganda material on the Internet and carrying out attacks.” [NY Times, 9/17/08 . President Bush, 6/
28/05 . President Bush, 5/24/07 ]

Subject: Washington Blade Op-Ed: O'Malley's amnesia on marriage
http://www.washinatonblade.com/2015/04/20/omalleys-amnesia-on-marriaae/
O’Malley’s amnesia on marriage
There he goes again. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who once extolled the virtues of centrism, now wants us to believe — in an
unintentionally hilarious rewriting of history — that he's more liberal than Hillary Clinton and a “profile in courage” when it comes to fighting for
marriage equality.
In a not-so-subtle jab at Clinton, O’Malley in a February speech said, “History celebrates profiles in courage, not profiles in convenience. The
dignity of every person tells us that the right to marry is not a state right, it is a human right.”
A Clinton aide last week, responding to a Blade inquiry, affirmed that the 2016 hopeful views same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. That
statement marked a change from her earlier position, articulated in an infamous NPR interview last year, that she viewed marriage as a state
issue.
Clinton, like President Obama and Martin O’Malley and many others evolved on the issue.
The problem with O'Malley is that he’s had more positions on marriage than all the 2016 hopefuls combined. And after pushing for civil unions
right up until 2011, he now wants voters to believe that he's a pioneer on the issue. What nerve!

Let's revisit O’Malley’s actual record rather than listen to his calculated amnesia.
In 2004, O’Malley told a Baltimore TV station, “I'm not opposed to civil marriages.” Also that year, he emailed a plaintiff in the state marriage
lawsuit that read, “I’m just supporting something I strongly believe in,” referring to marriage equality. But by 2006, O'Malley's position was
shifting and he said, “I was raised to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a fundamental issue of the state’s public
policy, and a decision that ultimately should not be made by a single trial court judge.” When confronted by gay activists after issuing that
statement, O'Malley disavowed any previous support of marriage equality.
After a 2007 Maryland court ruling limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples, O’Malley issued the following statement as heartbroken gay
residents were busy cancelling their weddings and mourning the court's misguided decision: “I look forward to reading the court’s full opinion,
but as we move forward, those of us with the responsibility of passing and enforcing laws have an obligation to protect the rights of all
individuals equally, without telling any faith how to define its sacraments. I respect the court’s decision.”
Privately, O’Malley had assured gay rights activists and plaintiffs in the case that he supported marriage equality, only to reverse course and
ultimately invoke his Catholic religious beliefs to justify his support of discrimination.
From 2008-2010, O'Malley publicly backed civil unions as bills to legalize marriage equality were defeated in committee. He was even booed
off the stage at a private LGBT donor gathering after advocating for civil unions overfull marriage rights.
In 201 1 , O’Malley finally said he would sign a marriage bill if passed. “I have concluded that discriminating against individuals based on their
sexual orientation in the context of civil marital rights is unjust.” That bill ultimately failed.
It wasn't until New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo embraced the cause of marriage equality as a civil rights issue — and well after Maryland Attorney
General Doug Gansler did the same — that O’Malley evolved yet again. Whereas Cuomo made it clear even before he was elected that he
supported full marriage rights and then lobbied for the needed votes to pass it, O'Malley was — until 2012 — the reluctant advocate, offering
meek, private assurances of support but refusing to publicly embrace the cause, even after winning a second term in a landslide.
Though he eventually came around to full support and was instrumental in preserving the law after it went to referendum, O’Malley was late to
the marriage party and certainly doesn't deserve credit for its success.
O’Malley has, for years, embodied the poll-driven milquetoast politician who checks the wind before staking out a position. Now he wants us to
believe otherwise.
“We have the ability as a party to lead by our principles or are we going to conduct polls every time we try to determine where the middle is on
any given day,” he told NPR this week.
We should welcome O'Malley’s more progressive positions without forgetting his disappointing record of saying one thing in private and the
opposite when the cameras are rolling.

WASHINGTON | BY^I^K HOSENBALL AND ALISTAIR BELL
Top aides to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fretted over how she would be portrayed after the
2012 Benghazi attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, emails released on
Friday showed.
The emails from Clinton's personal email account made public by the State Department do not appear to contain
any revelations that could badly damage her bid for the presidency in 2016 or provide fodder for Republicans
who accuse her of being negligent before the Benghazi attacks.
But they offer a glimpse into how Clinton's team was concerned about her image immediately afterward.
A senior adviser to Clinton forwarded a fawning email from a State Department official about positive media
coverage of a statement she gave on Sept. 12, 2012, the day after the killings.
"Really nice work guys," State Department official Matthew Walsh said in the email to other staffers, which linked
to a story on the Slate news site praising Clinton's comments about Benghazi as "eloquent." He forwarded the
email to Clinton with the letters "FYI."
In another email from September 2012, Sullivan assured the secretary of state that she had used the correct
language to describe the lead-up to the Benghazi attack by Islamist militants on a U.S. diplomatic compound and
CIA base.
U.S. officials' exact wording of the attacker's motivation had become important because the Obama
administration initially said the assaults were a spontaneous protest against an anti-lslamic film posted on the
Internet.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the time, Susan Rice, drew heavy criticism from Republicans for
defending this view on Sunday TV shows, even though intelligence indicated within hours that the attacks were
the carefully planned work of Islamist militia members.
Sullivan assured Clinton that her language when discussing the attacks in public had been correct.
"You never said spontaneous or characterized the motives, in fact you were careful in your first statement to say
we were assessing motive and method," he wrote in an email.

Long a focus of Republican investigators in Congress, accusations that Clinton was negligent on Benghazi are
putting her under more intense scrutiny now that she is running for the Democratic Party nomination in the 2016
presidential election.
Republicans say the Obama administration was lax about the security of U.S. personnel in Libya and then misled
the public about the nature of the attacks, but various congressional probes have produced little damaging
evidence.
The 296 pages of Clinton emails from her time as secretary of state between 2009 and 2013 that were released
on Friday were the first installment of a rolling release of 55,000 pages of emails ordered by a federal judge on
Tuesday.

Sorry, GOP. There’s No Smoking Gun
In Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi Emails.
Conspiracy-minded conservatives, be warned: The trove of Clinton emails don’t prove much
about her culpability for the infamous 9/11 anniversary attacks.
If Republicans were looking for a silver bullet to use against Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton, the State Department’s Friday document dump about Benghazi wasn’t it.
There’s no illicit weapons Libyan program to be found in the emails, as some have speculated.
No ‘stand-down’ order. Just a hectic flow of information to and from Hillary Clinton — about
danger, about death, and ultimately, about condolences.
The State Department released Friday 296 emails involving Hillary Clinton during her tenure as
Secretary of State, from 2009 to 2013. The documents include some 300 emails related to
Benghazi, which were turned over to the Congressional committee investigating the 2012
attacks. The attacks left four Americans dead, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
The hundreds of emails released by the agency show a Secretary of State who was deeply
engaged on Libyan issues — but usually just in a crisis. While Clinton was a key proponent of
intervening in Libya to protect civilians under threat from then-Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi,
her emails show that she took a largely hands off approach towards the country.
Of course, this document trove is an incomplete view, at best. It excludes any phone calls,
briefings or memos. It doesn’t include the emails that were deleted by Clinton — and we know
there were many. (Republicans noted “inexplicable gaps” in Secretary Clinton’s emails over

several time periods, such as from Oct. 201 1 to Jan. 2012, and from April 2012 to July 2012. )
And it was released by a State Department that was formerly helmed by Clinton and is still part
of a Democratic administration.
But according to her Benghazi-related email traffic, Clinton appears to be only been involved at
times of crisis and even then deferred to those on the ground, including Stevens and friends
outside government.
Clinton’s emails show that the late Amb. Christopher Stevens had multiple brushes with danger
in Benghazi in 201 1 — more than a year before the September 2012 attacks that would
ultimately take his life.
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received an update about Stevens’ 201 1 security
situation: that there had been intelligence indicating a credible threat to his safety, and that
officials were moving swiftly out of the hotel he was staying at in Benghazi.
“There is credible threat info against the hotel that our team is using — and the rest of the Inti
community is using, for that matter... DS [Diplomatic Security] going to evacuate our people to
alt locations. Info suggested attack in next 24-48 hours,” wrote top Clinton aide Jacob Sullivan
in an email to Clinton on June 10, 201 1 , with the subject line, ‘Hotel in Benghazi.’
At the time Stevens was a special envoy to Libya, and the U.S. had joined a U.N. campaign to
set up a no-fly zone to assist rebels in the overthrow of Muammar Oadhafi.
In a separate incident, in April 201 1 , a State Department official wrote:
“The situation in Ajdabiyah has worsened to the point Stevens is considering departure from
Benghazi. The envoy’s delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills,
moving some comms to the boat, etc). He will monitor the situation to see if it deteriorates
further, but no decision has been made on departure.”
The communications received by the Secretary of State illustrate the fast pace of security
decisions made on the ground — but don’t show Clinton with a direct role in these decisions. For
example, there’s no indication that Clinton intervened in the decision-making process when told
about Stevens’ 201 1 security scares.
Clinton was heavily criticized when it emerged in March that she had used a private email
server to conduct business while she was Secretary of State. Her private email accounts
prevented the normal process of archiving official government records. Clinton’s staff had
turned over some 55,000 pages of email correspondence to the State Department in
December 2014.
Democrats on the Select Benghazi Committee had urged the release of Benghazi-related
emails for months. Clinton herself had urged the State Department to swiftly publish the emails,
10/18/2016

Page 312
telling reporters earlier this week that she wanted them in the public domain as soon as
possible.
“I am pleased that the State Department released the complete set of Secretary Clinton’s
emails about Benghazi — as Democrats requested months ago,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, the
top Democrat on the committee.
The American people can now read all of these emails and see for themselves that they contain
no evidence to back up claims that Secretary Clinton ordered a stand-down, approved an illicit
weapons program, or any other wild allegation Republicans have made for years.
In the time between the June 201 1 security scare and the September 2012 terrorist attacks,
the mood in Libya ebbed and flowed — Stevens left Libya in November 201 1 before returning as
U.S. ambassador in May 2012.
In July, Libya held national elections which went off well, leading to people heralding the country
worldwide. Meanwhile, Islamist flags had emerged on buildings throughout Benghazi.
The correspondence in summer 2012 shows a somewhat positive situation in Libya: the last
email from Stevens that Clinton receives paints a rosy picture: in July 2012 Sen. John McCain
is in Tripoli, Libya, being lauded for his support of the rebels.
“The atmosphere in Tripoli is very festive,” Stevens wrote in one email on July 7, 2012. “The
gov’t declared today a holiday and people are driving around honking and waving flags and
making peace sign gestures... McCain was applauded and thanked for his support wherever
we went.”
The world’s focus doesn’t dwell on Libya, and Clinton doesn’t receive additional emails about
Benghazi again until the 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities.
By September 2012, the situation in Libya had deteriorated. In a diary entry on Sept. 6,
Stevens wrote about a “security vacuum” and “dicey conditions,” even suggesting that he was
on an “Islamist ‘hit list’ in Benghazi.”
On the fateful day of Sept. 1 1 , 2012, at approximately 4 p.m. in Washington, D.C., the first
attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound occurred. Clinton had previously testified (PDF ) that
she was at the State Department that day, which could explain why she did not send or receive
a large volume of emails about Benghazi.
She becomes more active on emails that evening, and at 1 1 :3 7 p.m., she receives word
through her Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills that the Libyan government had confirmed Amb.
Steven’s death.
“Cheryl told me the Libyans confirmed his death. Should we announce tonight or wait until
morning?” Clinton wrote in an email to top aides.

“The situation has
worsened to the
point Stevens is
considering
departure from
Benghazi. The
envoy's delegation is
currently doing a
phased checkout.”
Throughout the morning after the initial attacks she has a lot of
activity: in particular she received a large number of messages
expressing condolences to her and the State Department over
the death of the ambassador.
“The Ambassador was a perfect role model of the kind of
person we need representing us around the world, and the
others had so much to give — and already had given so much,”
said former Secretary of Defense Bob Gates.
“What a wonderful, strong and moving statement by your boss, please tell her how much Sen.
McCain appreciated it. Me too,” wrote a top national security aide for Sen. John McCain.
That weekend, Clinton continued to exchange emails on the Benghazi issue. On Saturday Sept.
15, the day before Susan Rice appeared on cable shows to make the since-rescinded claim
that the Benghazi attacks were the result of protests-turned-violent, Clinton was involved
arranging calls from her home and the collection of an action memo via classified courier.
The emails give insight into how Clinton operated at the time: using classified couriers to move
memos and getting on the phone with other world leaders, rather than using email.
None of the released emails show Clinton being involved with Rice’s appearance on the Sunday
shows, or the discussion of what Rice should say. She does, however, receive a transcript of
what Rice would eventually say.
Findings of the Republican-led Select committee on Benghazi may not be released until
sometime in 2016, in the thick of campaign season.
If the Select Committee continues to operate through the end of the 2015, its estimated cost
will rise to $6 million dollars. The House Select Committee on Benghazi was established in May
2014. If it continues through to the end of 2015, it will have been investigating for 19
months — longer than other major, comparable investigations.
(To compare, the joint inquiry into the intelligence community’s actions with regard to the Sept.
1 1 , 2001 attacks took less than a year. The Senate Watergate committee operated for about
17 months before presenting its findings. And the Warren Commission on the assassination of
President Kennedy operated for under a year.)
The release of Friday’s Benghazi-related emails has itself been months in the waiting: the State
Department had been going through an excruciating process of assessing the emails for any
information that would show sensitive or personally identifiable information, and then removing
it. The State Department will now turn its attention to performing the same task on thousands
of Clinton emails that are not related to Benghazi.

In fact, Hillary Clinton’s email correspondence has the potential to generate headlines at least
through the end of the year, acting as a disruptive force that distracts from her presidential
campaign.
For Republican committee chairman Trey Gowdy, the release of these emails are just the first
step in a long slog to “collect and evaluate all of the relevant and material information
necessary.” Gowdy said that the emails released Friday had all been exclusively reviewed and
released only after review by her own lawyers.
Earlier this week, a federal judge had dismissed a State Department plan to release her email
archives, comprised of some 55,000 pages of emails, by January 2016. Instead, the judge
asked the State Department to come up with a plan to gradually release the emails in stages.
In the nearer term, Hillary Clinton is expected to appear before the Select Committee on
Benghazi, Gowdy said last week that he will not schedule the former Secretary of State’s
testimony until the State Department turns over more documents.
“The Select Committee should schedule Secretary Clinton’s public testimony now and stop
wasting taxpayer money dragging out this political charade to harm Secretary Clinton’s bid for
president,” Cummings, a Democrat, said Friday.
The New York Times obtained and published about a third of the Clinton Benghazi emails
earlier this week, revealing that longtime Clinton friend Sidney Blumenthal had frequently
written to her about Libya, serving as a source of information about the country before and
after the 2012 attacks.
While Blumenthal had originally blamed demonstrators in the American diplomatic facility in
Benghazi, a subsequent memo fingered a Libyan terrorist group for the attacks, arguing that
they had used the demonstrations as cover for the violence. This week, the Select Committee
on Benghazi subpoenaed Blumenthal to appear before the panel.

How Bad Spin Works: A Handy Lesson from the Clinton/Blumenthal E-Mails
May 22, 2015 3:46 PM EDT
The sort of intra-Washington chicanery that is not scandalous, but not often revealed.
The just-released batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State is full of sausage-
making. It's the sort of intra-Washington chicanery that is not scandalous, but not often revealed, because
human beings are capable of embarrassment. One of the more excruciating exchanges comes when Sidney
Blumenthal, the journalist turned Clinton confidant, offered up pro bono spin work during the weeks before
the 2012 election when Republicans started to ask why the attack on America's consulate in Benghazi had

not been stopped.
On the morning of October 1 , journalist Craig Unger — best known for the 2004 cui bono bestseller House of
Bush, House of Saud — published a column in Salon that revealed a "Jimmy Carter strategy" being
formulated by Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
"According to a highly reliable source," wrote Unger, "as Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama prepare
for the first presidential debate Wednesday night, top Republican operatives are primed to unleash a new
two-pronged offensive that will attack Obama as weak on national security, and will be based, in part, on
new intelligence information regarding the attacks in Libya that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens on
Sept. 11."
More than that, the "scoop" made no sense.
This source of this scoop, wrote Unger, had "firsthand knowledge of private, high-level conversations in the
Romney camp that took place in Washington, D.C., last week." According to the source, "over and over
again they talked about how it would be just like Jimmy Carter’s failed raid [on Iran in 1980]," and "they feel it
is going to give them a last-minute landslide in the election." Curiously, the source predicted that the
strategy would fail.
The story went up at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. Forty-three minutes later, Blumenthal sent Hillary Clinton an
email with the text of the story and the subject "Romney's last gambit. Got done and published." In other
words, Blumenthal, formerly a Salon columnist, was taking credit for the Romney story being placed in
Salon.
In a now-deleted tweet, Romney strategist Stu Stevens snarked that it was "a mistake" to invite Blumenthal
into a secret strategy session. "This was just a joke," Stevens added in an e-mail, "highlighting he knew
nothing."
More than that, the "scoop" made no sense. The Romney campaign was based in Boston, not Washington.
The idea of hitting the White House over the Benghazi attacks was hardly being dreamed up in
secret — Romney had done it weeks earlier, and been chastened by a media blowback. Surrogates,
however, continued to talk plenty about Benghazi. The only point to the story was that it made Romney's
team look callow, which was how allies of the Obama administration wanted them to look.
The running theme of Blumenthal's missives to his "old friend," the Democratic frontrunner, is that
Blumenthal is a gusher of terrible advice. The revelation of these emails is that even terrible advice could
pay off, if the media was willing to accept a narrative that made the Clintons' enemies look malicious.
Republicans did not quite need a FOIA to discover that, but it certainly didn't hur

Hello Mr. Podesta,
Thank you again for taking my call especially considering its unorthodox nature. As I said on the phone, I currently serve as Political director for
Penn for Hillary: a student-led organization building a Philadelphia base for Hillary Clinton's next political endeavor. Our group started out as a
campus franchise of Ready for Hillary but after surpassing the goals set by the national organization, we broadened our vision to include the
greater Philadelphia area. We've formed partnerships with most of the major schools in the trip-state region and we have established a network
of students approaching 500 members. These partnerships include strong ties to the Pennsylvania College Democrats.
As I mentioned, we'll be traveling to DC this week to attend the Winter Meeting. Our hope is for us to form more connections within the party and
to establish ourselves as a resource in Philadelphia. We'd love to meet with you informally if your schedule allows. If we're unable to meet in DC,
you always have an open invitation to visit us here at Penn (we'd love to have you speak to our student body).
Travel Details:
Arriving in DC Thursday evening and leaving Saturday night.
Delegation Members:
Mitchell McVeigh, Co-Founder and Co-President
Emily Irani, Co-Founder and Co-President
Michael Ramdatt, Political Director
Robert Klein, Outreach Director
Thanks again for being so kind. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Here's a first cut at HRC's remarks for the IDP dinner. Would love your thoughts. She is reviewing as well.
A few notes:
- This opens by recalling previous collaborations with the other Dem candidates. To me, this is a chance to seem big and inclusive when
they are likely to be trying to drive wedges. Easy to cut, but might be a nice grace note.
- This draft throws out some red meat early on with Donald Trump to get the crowd jazzed at the top. Then she can do your affirmative
agenda and circle back to the fuller contrast later on. Plenty of other ways to organize this, but a good hit at the top seemed important.
- Given the growing controversy over the leaked Planned Parenthood video, with Boehner calling for hearings and other GOPers piling on,
we should think about whether this is a good time to join the battle and come to Planned Parenthood's defense, or whether it's wiser to stay
away. For now, its in here.
- Finally, you'll see a hit on Governor Branstad for his veto of mental health funding. Matt thinks this is a good fight to pick and I agree.
Gives you a chance to make an emotional appeal on an issue you care about so much. The Governor is also riling folks up with his
education cuts, so that's in here as well.
Am going to keep working this and punching up the language, but wanted to share early draft in case folks have initial reactions.
Thanks

U.S. News & World Report and National Council on Teacher Quality
Launch Comprehensive Review of Nation's Teacher Preparation Programs
U.S. News & World Report and the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) announced last week the launch of
a landmark survey. The survey will consist of more than 1,000 schools of education across the country.
Unprecedented in its scope and comprehensiveness, the project will rate the quality of teacher preparation
programs from which more than 200,000 new teachers graduate each year.
The new rating survey, to be published in the second half of 2012, will be useful for both consumers and policymakers.
Teacher education is a critical national issue, and preliminary data indicates that there are wide variances in the
quality of programs. Aspiring teachers will be able to identify which programs will best prepare them for the
classroom, and school districts will know where they should target their recruitment efforts for new hires. Education
leaders, including university presidents, state superintendents of education and state legislators, will be able to
evaluate best-and worst - practices across all 50 states.
"We now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that teacher effectiveness is the single biggest school-based
contributor to learning," said Kate Walsh, President of NCTQ. "Just like in every other profession, the quality of their
training has a tremendous impact on how well teachers perform. The only way we will meet the challenge of ensuring
that all our country's students get the excellent teachers they deserve is to transform teacher preparation."
U.S. News has long ranked the graduate schools of education as part of its college and university ranking guides.
The new teacher education review is a separate survey, which will be a more detailed examination of a wide variety
of graduate and undergraduate programs.
"We want to know what teachers are being taught," said Brian Kelly, editor of U.S. News. "We're partnering with NCTQ
because they've developed a great methodology to look deeply into these important institutions and compare them
across the country."
U.S. News and NCTQ will award grades to each of the programs under review. They will identify the top schools of
education in the country as well as the institutions whose program designs fall so far below standard that they leave
their graduates ill equipped to teach.
Programs will be rated by their performance on 17 different standards, which were developed by evaluating the
highest caliber research on education, best practices from both the U.S. and foreign countries with excellent
educational systems, and the advice of national experts across many subject areas. The standards are calibrated for
undergraduate and graduate levels, and can be applied to programs that prepare elementary, secondary and special
education teachers.
Program ratings will be derived from a digest of course materials (including course syllabi and textbooks) supplied by
education schools themselves, as well as surveys and other publicly available information.
NCTQ honed its methodology for the national review by conducting a number of similar, smaller studies across the
past decade, most recently of the teacher preparation programs of Texas and Illinois. Those reports revealed the
wide variability of the design quality of teacher training programs -- even within a single institution -- and have
provoked calls for reform.
Funding for the project is provided by dozens of foundations across the country with principal funding provided by
Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, Gleason Family Foundation, The Lynde and
Harry Bradley Foundation, Searle Freedom Trust, and The Teaching Commission.

Can everyone take a look at this and provide thoughts on what our on the record response will be tomorrow?
Note that our language has changed notably from what I sent around last week in 2 places. One is at the end
of the first sentence in an effort to make clear that these emails have all been turned over and put the onus for
whatever the expansion of the request is on State, and secondly a mention of her being ready and willing to
come testify.
"Secretary Clinton has already turned all of her work emails over to the State Department, and the Department
has been responsive to the committee, and will continue to be. Representatives of Secretary Clinton’s office
have been in touch with the committee to make clear that we want to make everything public, that she’s ready
and willing to come and appear herself, and we call on the committee to do so as soon as possible.”

Campaign Money Watch Announces Expanded Television Buy In
Kentucky
Group's spending nears $ 1.2 million to challenge McConnell on his "clout"
Washington, D.C. - Campaign Money Watch, a national nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, announced
today that it has increased by $800,000 its television ad campaign in Kentucky aimed at holding Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-KY) accountable for using his "clout" to help donors and special interests, not his constituents.
The group's ad, available online at http://www.bigmoneymitch.com, will now air in virtually every media market in
the Commonwealth.
"Mitch McConnell has made a long career out of blocking and obstructing legislation in Washington, but he is known
principally for his radical opposition to all campaign finance reform and his love of special interest fundraising," said David
Donnelly, Campaign Money Watch's director. "Now he's telling Kentuckians that he has clout and power. It's fair to ask, as
our ad does, who does he use the clout for?"
Last week, Campaign Money Watch announced a $385,000 purchase of airtime in three markets - Lexington,
Louisville and northern Kentucky. This week's additional buy brings the group's spending to $1,185,000 across broadcast
and cable in seven media markets.
"McConnell wanted a debate on his own clout and now he's got one," Donnelly said. "I think Mitch McConnell, in
talking about his power in the Senate, is the only politician in America who is running with Washington, not against it."
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's opposition to campaign finance reform and public financing of
elections is well documented. He led filibusters against campaign finance reform throughout the late 1990s. McConnell
threatened business leaders who supported reform with implied legislative retribution. He sued the federal government -
and lost - over the McCain-Feingold law. In June 2007, McConnell testified before his own Senate Rules Committee in
opposition to the bipartisan Fair Elections Now Act, a bill to make public money available to candidates who agree to
spending limits.
Campaign Money Watch has a successful history of holding politicians accountable who oppose reform. The group
led the effort to drive indicted former Majority Leader Tom DeLay from office, as well as conducted a voter education effort
in Ralph Reed's primary race for lieutenant governor in Georgia. Campaign Money Watch is a project of Public Campaign
Action Fund.

Subject: Re: Hillary Clinton Favorable Rating - Polls - HuffPost Pollster
John, the one point I would emphasize that is time sensitive is that on the trade bill
vote in the Senate, my advice would be she say she would vote no now and vote no
until there is a significant jobs bill tied to it, similar to the big infrastructure bill I
suggested in my last column be tied to the trade bill.. ..not merely fast-track tied to
a trade adjustment bill that itself is insufficient
What I predict is most likely is that Obama wins fast track with his deal with
Republicans and conservative Dems, tied to a lame TAA, with the net result is that
liberals and labor are engaged and that HRC supports this package would be a big
mistake IMO
Obama could easily sink her, on this and other matters and sink down ballot
Democrats.... if we must do fast track, which I am not a big fan of in principle, there
is no reason it cannot be tied to a big infrastructure jobs bill which many Republicans
and business leaders support
What Obama did was inflame the GOP base in large numbers through no fault of his own.. ..but depress
enough Democrats to not vote. ..which was totally his fault and
many on his staff.. ..HRC will have the same inflammatory affect on the Republican
base to vote. ..through no fault of her own but what she can control to a large
degree is whether she motivates our base or whether she calls herself a fighter
but many in our base conclude she is not
My fear is she has a low standard of what will satisfy her on trade.. ..which will make
her look, and be, Obama 2.0 on trade in the end at the very moment when a lot of
liberals.. ..myself included were appalled by his insults of liberals on trade
Fast track plus weak TAA is a loser for her, but I suspect that is where she ends up,
add a significant infrastructure jobs plan, that is the winner, and IMO that should be
her price for supporting it, or something similar and if it were my call she would
tell Obama that personally and if he doesn't get a better deal, just say no having
made the fight Brent

Brent,
We are of course aware of the numbers and the trend lines. And we are not complacent. And I put our
consultants in that we. The question remains what do you do about that given the certainty that the
Republicans (and to some extent the media) will continue to hammer away at "trust". My own view is that
her history, values, vision and agenda can blunt the attacks and convince people from the center to the left
that the one thing you can trust is that she will be a tenacious fighter for everyday Americans and the
middle class. And you can trust the Republicans to fix the system for the people at the top. Moreover, she
has the strength to not only wage those fights, but to win them. So I think we need to stay strategically
focused on proving that.
Two things I disagree with you about:
1) unlike perhaps the current occupant, she very much sees down ballot and broad geographic success for

Democrats as critical.
2) Her trade position has nothing to do with donors and Wall Street. She's stated her criteria for TPP, but
hasn't ruled out the possibility that that criteria can be met in a final deal. Her position in that regard is not
that dissimilar to Pelosi's. That might not be that satisfying, but it's what she thinks.

Q&A. pdf
Hi Everyone,
As some of you may have seen, Secretary Clinton did a press conference today where she talked why she was
there today, commented on recent developments regarding Iran, and about all the recent issues surrounding her
email at the State Department, so we wanted to follow up with a transcript of her statement along with a Q&A
document that lays out many of the questions that have been raised in the last week along with the answers to
them.
Please be in touch with any questions or comments.

Thanks Ann. I'm just going to do this, if you/Research are ok with it:
Families are stretched in a million directions. So are their budgets. Costs keep rising but most people’s paychecks haven’t
moved in years - but corporate profits and CEO pay keep rising. Quality childcare costs more than college tuition in many
states. The minimum wage is a poverty wage. Millions of Americans are held back by student debt. And at a time when
more women than ever are their family’s main bread winner, too often, they still don’t get equal pay. Women of color
earn least of all. And just yesterday, the Department of Labor released new data showing that, as our economy gets
stronger, men’s pay is going up more than twice as fast than women’s pay.

Two things:
(1) Apparently, DOL did release interesting pay disparity numbers today. See this WSJ piece . I think it
would be good to add a line that says, "Yesterday, the US Department of Labor released new data showing
that our economy is getting stronger, but that increases in pay for men and women are not growing at the
same rate. Men who work full-time saw their pay increase at more than double the rate of women. With more
than 2/3rds of our families relying on the income of women to keep their families afloat, this unequal pay
growth hurts women, our families and our economy. Equal pay must be a priority if we are going to have a
strong economy and strong families."
(2) For the Paul Ryan paragraph, instead of "flexibility," I'd focus that he was asking for a fair and
predictable schedule - something that our low-wage workers are desperate to get. So change to:
Paid family leave; schedules that are fair and predictable; higher wages so you don’t have to work two jobs to make
ends meet, so you can be home at night with your kids — these aren’t just challenges for women, they’re challenges for
America.

Purchases :
Item: Costly, Mismanaged, Endless War in Iraq
Quantity: 1
Today's Tack On to the 'Cost of War' -
500 Point Freefall in Dow Jones
To offset the depressive effect of massive spending on Iraq, the Fed
flooded the economy with liquidity and regulators, turned a blind eye to
extremely risky lending, according to Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph
Stiglitz. The result is the credit crunch, the collapse of major financial
institutions and a 500 point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average -
the biggest one-day decline since trading resumed after the 9/11 attacks.
From Joseph Stiglitz' s March 9, 2008 column, "The Iraq War Will Cost Us
$3 Trillion, and Much More:"
Until recently , many marveled at the way the United States could spend
hundreds of billions of dollars on oil and blow through hundreds of
billions more in Iraq with what seemed to be strikingly little short-run
impact on the economy. But there's no great mystery here. The economy's
weaknesses were concealed by the Federal Reserve , which pumped in
liquidity , and by regulators that looked away as loans were handed out
well beyond borrowers' ability to repay them. Meanwhile , banks and credit-
rating agencies pretended that financial alchemy could convert bad
mortgages into AAA assets , and the Fed looked the other way as the U.S.
household-savings rate plummeted to zero.
Original Iraq War Purchase Price :
"The administration's top budget official [Mitch Daniels] estimated today
that the cost of a war with Iraq could be in the range of $50 billion to
$60 billion." -- New York Times, 2/2/03
"The oil revenues of Iraq could bring between $50 and $100 billion over
the course of the next two or three years. We're dealing with a country
that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon." -
Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz [Congressional
Testimony, 3/27/03 ]
" [F] rom the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact,
be greeted as liberators." - Vice-President Dick Cheney [Meet the Press,
3/16/2003 ]
Current Iraq War Price Tag:

now go far beyond loose mortgage lending. You can't spend $3 trillion —
yes, $3 trillion — on a failed war abroad and not feel the pain at home.
— Joseph E. Stiglitz. Nobel Prize Winning Economist and professor at
Columbia University
Additional Costs:
• Over 4,100 American lives lost and rising as U.S. troops remain in the
crossfire of daily Iraqi civil, religious, sectarian violence with no end
in sight
• Eye off the ball of the real 'central front' against terrorism in
Afghanistan
• Less safe with U.S. military stretched dangerously thin
• Shortchanged priorities here at home, from education to healthcare for
children and veterans, while trillions of dollars spent in Iraq
• Economy in shambles as massive financial drain of war exacerbates the
credit crisis
• Skyrocketing gas prices due to instability in the Middle East
• Less prepared to respond to emergencies and disasters at home with
National Guard resources bogged down in Iraq
• Underfunded veterans healthcare system overwhelmed with incoming
injured, maimed, and veterans suffering from PTSD
• Military families torn apart

Subject: Drugs and Terror Monster Conjugated Aggravation in the Middle East
SALVATION OF MANKIND BY NARCOTIC VEGETATION ERADICATION FROM THE AIR BY UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT VEHICLES
Mr. President,
Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles
Development proved being capable of hitting even point targets. It is well known that Afghanistan has World record of
Poppy Opium Production of about 200 tons annually yielded from a cultivated 157,000 hectares area. That enormous dope
amount (90% of world opium production) is in my opinion the main financial source for Terror Organizations' Weaponry
Acquisition. According to my assessment, UAV could have been Redemption for Entire Mankind if being utilized as follows:
2,4 D Defoliant is splashed on the Narcotic Vegetation causing its Desertification within several days inevitably. The
following favorable consequences might have been anticipated:
1) Severing of Terror Organizations from their Financial Source that dry up with
Narcotic Vegetation Desertification
2) Salvation of millions of Potential Drug Addicts from Awful Agony and Death
3) Rehabilitation of US Deterrence that has weakened considerably after Nine Eleven
Horrendousness
4) Precipitation of NATO Troops Evacuation from Afghanistan as a result of UAV
Bombardment Intensification resulting in Terror Suppression Reinforcement
5) Deterrence of El-Qaida Reactivation by leaving a Souvenir of dry Poppy-Opium
Bushes from pulling out NATO Troops
6) I suggest having a Debate in the Senate that might hopefully lead to successful termination of the Afghan War after being
stuck in its Marsh for 12 long years
7) Waiting for your Response as US friend since 1948
8) There could not have been any doubt about terminating the Armed Conflict in Afghanistan Honorably averting an
Ignominious ending up as currently impending.
9) Similarly, Central American Dope Smuggling could have been drastically diminished by UAV Utilization for Narcotic
Vegetation Eradication Grown on
Mountainous Gradients. Very large amounts of Dope are smuggled annually into the
US having found hitherto no efficacious way of overcoming that calamity
10) Please contact me by scheduling a meeting at US Embassy in Tel -Aviv for Clarifications with your experts' participation
specializing in Explosives, Electronics and Aviation
11) 1 have got all the required specifications for getting mankind be extricated from the two conjugated calamities, Drugs
inundation and Terror attacks of Innocent Population thanks to UAV activities.
12) To my great astonishment, my correspondence versus US Senate Committee on Armed Services has been irresponsive
despite the extraordinary importance for entire
Civilization Meanwhile as many as one billion of Muslims are threatening America encouraged by their Nine Eleven
Precedent Success
13) In reminiscence, as many as 50,000 Aircraft were ordered according to Presidents' Roosevelt Ordinance after the
Japanese Attack of Pearl Harbor while
7000 UAV by comparison are being idled in Storage letting the Afghan Anned Conflict be continued indefinitely.
14) Please let me explicate for US Air-Force an efficacious way emerging victorious from Afghan Entanglement in favor of
Entire Mankind instead of suffering an ignominious defeat.
15) To my great surprise, US Does not exercise its Self Defense Right according to UN Charter Chapter 51 (1946), enabling
Criminal Organizations of Third World Countries attacking it with impunity. Nine Eleven Catastrophe could have been
averted if the US had utilized its complete Arsenal particularly UAV in high numbers instead of being kept idle in Magazines.
16) I propose meeting your Experts for UAV, Explosives and Electronics at US Embassy in Tel Aviv for thorough debate
about Dual Headed Monster Decapitation in favor of beleaguered Mankind believing in great success of my Innovative
Unprecedented Method as an only feasible efficacious expedient against it.
17) Is White House Correspondence Team busy to such an extent being unable responding even most important letters?

18) To my great Astonishment Dereliction of US Air Force results in smuggling of
Tremendous Dope Amount from Central America via Mexico into the US with its
Awful damage for many millions American's Health
19) I don't see any reason for hesitancy! The President may issue tomorrow an ordinance in order to open emergency
Magazines, getting ten thousands of UAV
Aloft in order to achieve Narcotic Vegetation Desertification with achievement for
Posterity
20) Emerge preferably with an Upper hand honorably instead of being ignominiously defeated!
21) Despite being Non US Citizen I think to have done my best in assisting ending up
Afghan War victoriously thanks to my Innovative Narcotic Vegetation Eradication Method, however not a single word
of Acknowledgement has hitherto
Reached my mailbox! In my opinion, Disparagement and Ungratefulness are conjugated at least according to my feeling!
22) There could not have been any justification keeping as many as 7000 UAV unused in magazines instead of operating
them against Nine Eleven Cruel enemy. Moreover, US taxpayers have already paid for that arsenal!
23) I believe Mr. Attorney General that Narcotic Vegetation Desertification Utilizing UAV is the only Feasible way of getting
Mankind been extricated from the Doubling Stricken Menace Grabbing, Drug and Terror Simultaneously.
24) November election is going to be beginning of President Obama last Congress Tenure working with but if the President
is being able Indicating Monumental achievements. He might have been eligible into the Parlor of great Leaders having
annihilated Drugs and Terror calamities for Posterity affluence
25) Wiping out Narcotic Vegetation and launching consequently an Overwhelming
Strike on Terror Organizations by UAV Utilization might have been an Unprecedented Achievement of Entire Mankind and
President Obama personally.
26) Incredibly, no reaction has come from the White House in latest four years despite
My pure intention for assistance for the US as well as Entire Civilization!
27) In my opinion Nobel Institute might have contributed to a very great extent to Drug and Terror Monster Decapitation in
favor of Entire Civilization.
28) Prime Minister of Israel might have contributed a great role in exerting an influence on US and Western Governments in
General in a Universal Effort of Dual Headed Monster, Drugs and Terror simultaneous eradication
Be successful
Gideon Rodeh
There is no justification losing an Election Campaign Ignominiously instead of emerging Victorious honorably! The
Democrats should have mobilized the entire US Media attacking the Republican for an Exploitation of US Contingency to
vote against their own Interests in favor of big Oil Corporations! Such incessant Transmissions would have been a very
efficacious Deterrence for most Democratic families to abstain from voting against their own Interests!
Be successful
Gideon Rodeh

Dear John,
I wish to thank you for your participation in the discussion with Cardinal Rodriguez on Monday, November 2 at Georgetown Law Center Hart
Auditorium. We are delighted and honored that you will be a part of this timely and important discussion. I am following up on your communication
with Peter Byrne. This email includes information on the program, logistics and related matter. Here is how we have been describing the discussion:
Pope Francis' Environmental Encyclical: Protecting the Planet and the Poor
A Conversation with Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez
Monday, November 2, 4:00 to 5:30 pm
Hart Auditorium
Georgetown Law Center
Purpose and Focus:
Pope Francis' environmental encyclical Laudato Si makes a powerful moral case for the dual obligation to care for creation and care for the poor.
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez is a key advisor to Pope Francis, chair of his Council of Cardinals. As the first cardinal from Honduras, he knows
firsthand the damaging human impact from environmental degradation and leads the church’s efforts to defend the life and dignity of the poor.
Discussants :
Following the conversation with Cardinal Rodriguez, which will be moderated by John Carr, director of Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and
Public Life, members of Georgetown Law Center will respond.
• Edith Brown Weiss, Francis Cabell Brown Professor of International Law, member of United Nations Environment Programme's International
Advisory Council on Environmental Justice.
• John Podesta, Distinguished Visitor from Practice, former Counselor to President Barack Obama on climate change and energy policy.
Background Information :
Cardinal Rodriguez will not be giving a formal presentation, but will be responding to series of questions from me as moderator. I will send you some
preliminary questions I plan to raise with him on the topic. I included a link to a video that was shot at Georgetown University featuring Cardinal
Rodriguez discussing Pope Francis' views on climate change and environmental issues. This indicates some of the tone and content of his likely
responses and may be useful for you as you prepare your remarks. https://www.voutube.com/watch?v=QLVdvLPeSKA

response to the Encyclical . What are its most important messages? Given your experience, what are its potential impacts?
Request :
I will be introducing you and Edith Weiss. Please send me information on what you'd like to be emphasized in a brief, relatively informal introduction.
What parts of your work, affiliations, education, family do you wish me to lift up as I introduce you?

Hello Hillary,
As you put your team together, in my view the two best Colorado political consultants are Mike Melansen
and Alan Salazar. They both were architects of Governor Hickenlooper's recent win, and have huge
experience in U.S. Senate and Governor's races, as well as supporting roles in Presidential ones.
Also, you should meet Al Yates-African American, PhD in theoretical physics, former President of
Colorado State University, founder of the Democracy Alliance, and ....the list goes on. He singlehandedly
has in his head the data analytics of the last ten years in Colorado (funded with huge resources)
including the explanation of why Mark Udall lost and John Hickenlooper won. I always won Colorado
because of him. I would like to arrange a time with him and you/ and your team as we get started.
I know there are many good people in Colorado who would want to help, will help, and are seeking roles
or have had roles with you or the President in the past. The three I mention above have no agenda, are
smart, humble and effective. In my view, the team you put together in Colorado will be the keystone of
your victory here. So please be cautious and on target. I am available to you or your team whenever you
want.
All the best,
Ken Salazar

My dear friend and colleague Hilary,
I so enjoyed our meeting today. I am all in because I know you, believe in you, and share your
values.
I will help you as much as I can. Specifically, I would offer to (1 ) host your first fundraiser in
Colorado at Hope's and my home (my Mom might even make it if she can); (2) help identify the key
elected leaders in Colorado like Representative Crisanta Duran and Mayor Hancock of Denver and
host a meeting with you and them; (3) help identify the right political talent in Colorado; and (4) help
as needed across the nation.
You are the best. Cesar Chavez prayed "give me the courage to serve others because in service
there is true life." You have done so in your words and deeds and I look forward to your next
chapter of service.
All the best,
Ken Salazar

We here at Progressive Accountability are pleased to announce our latest video, this one called "29 Guesses,"
and it's an attempt to hammer John McCain on a topic that has great potential to kill us in the fall, his position on
drilling off-shore to supposedly lower gas prices. We're fighting back hard on this, and this is our first video
attempt to nail him on being in the pocket of Big Oil.
You can find it here ( http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=SkUj9EI IN Is ) and through our YouTube channel here
( http://www.youtube.com/user/ProgAccountability ).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks and look forward to talk with you again soon,
Bradley Herring

I really believe this was heavily in her head during the last debate and was very unhelpful to her delivering
strong answers - it's like she felt boxed in. Presumably the answers Jake articulated well tonight are in her Q

The Federal Reserves readiness is at stake
I
The United States Supreme Court glistens in the Washington, D.C. sun.
By Jorge Vilches
Guest Columnist
Judge Griesas impact upon CDS, derivatives, and sovereign bond markets
In order to avoid a new default in less than three weeks, Argentina and all of the holdouts must reach an agreement that is
acceptable to every restructured bondholder of Argentine debt and Judge Thomas Griesa.
Otherwise, some of the possible outcomes include:
(1) An international cascade of competing legal claims involving many other sovereign defaults besides Argentinas
And/or...
(2) A pseudo-Lehman Brothers CDS and derivatives scenario, possibly with new 2008-type bail-outs
And/or...

Page 382
(3) Deepening of the current de-dollarization of international finances, with markets, governments and the Federal Reserve
befuddled and dysfunctional as in the 2008 limbo.
The setting
The glaring absence of internationally acknowledged legislation on sovereign bankruptcy to abide by forced common sense
to prevail without the need for judicial intervention. Thus, the largest nation state default in history was successfully left
behind, and by 2015, Argentina was expected to return to international credit markets after 13 years of ostracism.
Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman, in a front-page high-impact 2012 New York Times piece, praised Argentinas remarkable
success story. Many other world-renowned authorities agreed that the decades-long conundrum of debt traps had finally
been solved, with implications of genuine growth.
Enter the US Judiciary and Vulture Funds
The US judiciary decided to treat a sovereign debt default as if it were a run-of-the-mill New York business bankruptcy. The
minuscule (1.6 percent) albeit horribly powerful holdout vulture funds had taken advantage of the occasion to implement
their cunning and fully vetted business model based on the purchase of defaulted Argentine debt that was handed over at dirt
cheap prices.
This utterly suspicious class of plaintiffs had simultaneously engaged in swift and handsomely expensive lobbying.
Finally, they gained heavy-weight legal support, manifest namely in very curious US judiciary rulings in disdain of the very
nature of a sovereign debt default.
Judiciary overreach
Now, circumstances are pushing financial momentum for a brand new Argentine default with as of yet unfathomable un-
intended consequences, including multi-multi-billion arithmetically unpayable new claims worldwide as the decisions of the
US judiciary decisions would be taken as precedent.
The problem is that such sanctions were imposed on a nation state without internationally-acknowledged sovereign
bankruptcy rules to back them up. As per sovereign immunity (something to which nation states cannot waiver) and also
by definition, sovereign debt is unenforceable. The patient has died, and no miracle drug can revive the corpse. Debtors
may have rights, but not remedies. US law, judges, and a special master do not apply to nation states. Judge Griesas pari
passu interpretation has been hotly and widely contested worldwide, even in the US.
As a matter of fact, Judge Griesas own moaning for months along these lines is on record. The US Judiciary has
overstepped the mark of common sense and violated several important clauses of the delicate, unwritten code that rules
amicable foreign relations. The US judiciary should not establish US foreign policy, nor is it a world court. As per Justice
Ruth Bader Ginsburgs dissent, the Supreme Court should not exorbitantly approve vulture funds direct access to US
listings of Argentinas seizable assets worldwide.
Eyes wide shut
Obviously, in view of the default that is being actively pursued, financial terrorists worldwide may now surely join the party
by filing additional multi-billion claims through CDS Credit Default Swaps.
As the IMF is painfully aware, all of the above is bound to fuel a worldwide cascade of competing legal claims from
vulture funds, plus restructured sovereign bond creditors and CDS holders, all of which would severely affect counterparties
and possibly trigger systemic events that were absolutely unimaginable only a week ago.
Its worth mentioning that CDS counterparty risk is concentrated in only ten ultra-highly leveraged too-big-to-fail banks,
which may have to be bailed out yet again depending upon how events unfold.
Thus, the international financial system could needlessly find itself running around in circles, clueless and deeply submerged
in a J.K. Galbraith type of Age of Uncertainty.
The question is whether the Fed is ready for any of this.

[big campaign] New Huff Post from Creamer - Growing Economic Inequality Root Cause of
Economic Stagnation
Attachments:
PastedGraphic-5.pdf
Growing Economic Inequality the Root Cause of Economic Stagnation
Last Friday’s jobs numbers showed a net growth of only 1 8,000 new jobs nationwide - while the economy
must produce 150,000 jobs each month just to absorb population growth. Clearly the economic recovery has
stalled and Republicans are pointing to the slowdown as evidence that American economic policy must once
again turn sharply to the right.
Trouble is, rather than being a solution to our country’s economic woes, the growing economic inequality
their policies have caused was the root cause of the 2008 economic collapse and the economic stagnation that
America has experienced since. That burgeoning economic inequality must end if we are to restore the
American middle class - and give our children an opportunity for a prosperous future.
The chief characteristic of private sector economic activity is that it is incredibly responsive to consumer
demand. At its best, that’s what makes it such an innovative, efficient and powerful engine of economic growth.
If private sector entrepreneurs and businesses can identify even a glimmer of consumer demand for some new
product or service, someone will figure out how to provide it. But there’s a hitch. The consumers who want the
product or service need to have the money to pay for it.
So the private sector’s greatest strength is also potentially its greatest weakness - its Achilles Heel. If, for
whatever reason, consumers as a group don’t have the money to buy a growing number of products and
services, the private sector economy will stagnate.
Right now there are plenty of people out there who desperately need all sorts of products and services that
they don’t have the money to buy. The problem isn’t that businesses don’t have the capital to meet the
demand. Corporations are sitting on almost two trillion dollars in cash. They are looking for somewhere to
deploy that money where it can earn them a return - where consumers have the money to buy some new
product or service.
The problem is that there aren’t enough consumers with money in their pockets.
But that is not simply a problem that has resulted from the financial crash and subsequent loss of eight
million jobs. This problem has been developing for many years.
The bottom line is that most of the considerable economic growth of the last several decades has gone into
the pockets of a tiny percent of the population. As a result, wages and consumer buying power have stagnated,
and consumers don’t have the money to buy the new products and services upon which economic growth
depends.
This generates a vicious cycle - laid-off workers, lower wages, less consumer demand, less economic growth
and so on.
You can’t fundamentally break this cycle without addressing the root cause - the increased concentration of
wealth that is strangling economic growth and destroying the American middle class upon which long-term
economic growth completely depends.
Let’s look at this process in a little more detail.

The incomes of the middle class Americans, and those who aspire to be middle class - 90% of Americans --
have been stagnant for almost three decades. This trend, which was briefly interrupted during the Clinton
Administration, is the chief defining characteristic of our recent economic history.
The stagnation of middle class incomes has not happened because our economy has failed to grow over this
period. In fact, real (adjusted for inflation) per capita gross domestic product (GDP) increased more than 80%
over the period between 1975 and 2005. In the last ten years, before the Great Recession, it increased at an
average rate of 1 .8% per year. That means that if the benefits of economic growth were equally spread
throughout our society, everyone should have been almost 20% better off (with compounding) in 2008 than they
were in 1998.
But they weren’t better off. In fact, median family income actually dropped in the years before the recession.
It went from $52,301 (in 2009 dollars) in 2000 to $50,1 12 in 2008. And, of course it continued to drop as the
recession set in.
How is that possible?
Was it - as the Right likes to believe - because of the growth of the Federal Government? Nope. In fact, the
percentage of GDP going to federal spending actually dropped during the last four years of the Clinton
Administration. When Bush took office it began to increase again as the Republicans increased spending on
wars. Over the last 28 years, federal spending has averaged about 20.9% of the GDP and varied within a range
of only about 5%, with the high being in 1983 (in the middle of the Reagan years) and the low in 2000 before
Bush took office. It has never even come close to the 43.6% of GDP that it consumed during World War II in
1943 and 1944, or the 41 .9% it consumed in 1945. The percent of GDP that goes to Federal spending went up
in 2009 and 2010 - but that was mainly because the economy shrunk on the one hand, and a major, temporary
stimulus bill was need on the other to prevent another Great Depression.
Was it because taxes have skyrocketed? No again. In fact, according to the Census Bureau, the median
household tax burden actually dropped from 24.9% in 2000 to 22.4% in 2009.
Was it that labor became less productive? No. In fact, there has been a major gap between the increase in
the productivity of our workforce and the increase in their wages. Even when wages were improving at the end
of the Clinton years, productivity went up 2.5% per year and median hourly wages went up only 1 .5%.
From 2000 to 2004, worker productivity exploded by an annual rate of 3.8% but hourly wages went up only
1% and median family income actually dropped .9%.
The bottom line is that people who work for a living (most of us) are getting a smaller and smaller slice of the
nation’s economic pie.
In August of 2006, the New York Times reported that a Federal Reserve study showed that “(w)ages and
salaries now make up the lowest share of the nation’s gross national product since the government began
recording data in 1947; while corporate profits have climbed to their highest shares since the 1960’s.”
So the answer to the question is simple. Virtually all of the increase in our gross domestic product over the
ten years before the Great Recession went to the wealthiest 2% of the population.
These changes in income distribution are not the result of “natural laws.” They are the result of systems set
up by human beings that differentially benefit different groups in the society.
Economist Paul Krugman has summarized the history of income distribution in America.
At the beginning of the Great Depression, income inequality, and inequality in the control of wealth, was very
high. Then came the great compression between 1929 and 1947. Real wages for workers in manufacturing
rose 67% while real income for the richest 1 % of Americans fell 1 7%. This period marked the birth of the
American middle class. Two major forces drove these trends - unionization of major manufacturing sectors, and
the public policies of the New Deal.

Then came the postwar boom, 1947 to 1973. Real wages rose 81% and the income of the richest 1% rose
38%. Growth was widely shared, but income inequality continued to drop.
From 1973 to 1980, everyone lost ground. Real wages fell 3% and income for the richest one percent fell
4%. The oil shocks, and the dramatic slowdown in economic growth in developing nations, took their toll on
America and the world economy.
Then came what Krugman calls “the New Gilded Age.” Beginning in 1980, there were big gains at the very
top. The tax policies of the Reagan administration magnified income redistribution. Between 1980 and 2004,
real wages in manufacturing fell 1%, while real income of the richest one percent rose 135%.
The single largest contributor to this stagnation of middle class incomes has been the corporate attack on
organized labor. The percentage of private sector workers in unions has shrunk from 35 % to 7%. The
exception has been the public sector, where 35% of teachers, firemen and public service workers now have
access to collective bargaining.
What is the economic effect of this growing inequity?
Economies are in balance if productivity gains result in commensurately higher salaries for employees that
allow them to buy the larger number of products and services that those productivity increases allow
corporations to manufacture and sell. If they don’t have increased buying power - if all of the income growth
goes to the top 2% -- then a demand deficit will inevitably develop that will lead to stagnation, recession - or
depression. That gap in buying power can be filled for a while - as it was in the early 2000’s - with greater
consumer debt. But after a while the bubble bursts and the house of cards comes tumbling down.
And of course this isn’t all about cold economic theory. Growing economic inequality directly impacts million
of lives and destroys millions of dreams. It’s not just about economic policy. It’s about right and wrong.
The growing inequality can be seen in the explosion of the ratio of average worker salaries and the
compensation paid to corporate CEO’s. In 1980 the average CEO made 42 times more than the average
worker. Today he (or sometimes she) makes 262 times as much as the average worker.
New numbers just came out showing that CEO pay last year skyrocketed by a whopping 23%. The new top
earning CEO is Gregory Maffei of Liberty Media Corporation who was compensated $87,493,565 for his
services. That’s about $42,064 per hour.
Of course that’s nothing compared to hedge fund manager John Paulson. According the Wall Street Journal
he made $5 billion last year. That’s $2.4 million dollars an hour - or $40,064 per minute. So Mr. Paulson made
as much as a minimum wage worker every 23 seconds. Note also that Mr. Paulson and all hedge fund
managers paid Federal taxes at only 15% instead of the 35% due to a special tax break.
What do people like Mr. Paulson and Mr. Maffei do with their massive incomes? Like many executives they
might choose to purchase a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date Watch for about $8,000.
You might remember that many of the CEO class have spent a good deal of time lately telling America that we
have to trim back Social Security benefits. The average Social Security benefit for retirees is the princely sum of
$14,160 per year - $38.79 per day (for all 365 days per year).
It would take the average beneficiary 206 days of benefits to pay for that Rolex watch. It would take Mr.
Maffei 1 1 .4 minutes of his compensation.
In order to generate new jobs and get the economy moving over the long haul, America needs to assure that
everyday Americans receive the fruits of productivity growth. Otherwise our economy will continue to stagnate.
That means more unionization, trade and tax policies that encourage higher wages, and right now it requires a
massive jobs program to put America back to work.

The Republican notion that we can’t burden the “job creators” like Maffei or Paulson with new taxes is
mortally dangerous for our economy and our future. Just the opposite is true. The “job creators” are the
everyday consumers that have to have money in their pockets to create the demand to make our economy
grow.
But this is not just bad economics. It’s morally wrong.
The idea of asking Social Security recipients or people on Medicare or Medicaid to sacrifice a part of their
meager income to assure that people like Gregory Maffei can afford to buy a new Rolex watch every 1 1 minutes
- or get a taxpayer subsidy to ride in a corporate jet - is simply obscene.
The outcome of the current budget debate can be judged by only one central criteria. What will a budget deal
do to create new jobs and get the economy moving again? That is not mainly about giving “confidence” to the
markets or cutting the ratio of long-term debt to GDP. To truly address the root problems of our economy, a
budget deal must help increase the incomes of the middle class and reduce the swelling economic inequality that
is a cancer growing on our society and our economy.
You don’t do that by cutting Social Security or Medicare benefits -- or by slashing Medicaid as the
Republicans proposed. You do it, as President Obama has proposed, by asking the new economic aristocracy
to dip into their vast stores of wealth and help pay their fair share for the society from which they have so richly
benefited.

We commend The Post for initiating a forum on polarization, which is indeed the dominant political phenomenon
of our time. Consider that for the first time in modern history, in both the House and the Senate, the most
conservative Democrat is slightly more liberal than the most liberal Republican. This is more than an interesting
scholarly finding; it has consequences for the legislative process. The most conservative Senate Democrat (Ben
Nelson) ended up supporting health reform; the most liberal Republican (Olympia Snowe) ended up opposing it.
For decades, the operational core of bipartisanship in Congress was the overlap between the parties. Through
a long process triggered by the politics of the 1960s, that core has disappeared.
Polarization is not confined to elected officials and political elites. While the American people are not as divided
as the parties are, they are more divided than they were a generation ago. As Emory University's Alan
Abramowitz notes in his new book, "The Disappearing Center," the percentage of the electorate that places itself
at or near the ideological midpoint of American politics has shrunk from 41 to 28 percent since the mid-1 980s,
while the left and right extremes have expanded.
In addition, because people increasingly prefer to live near others who share their cultural and political
preferences, they are voting with their feet and sorting themselves geographically. Many more states and
counties are dominated by one-party supermajorities than in the past. Contrary to widespread belief, reducing
the gerrymandering of congressional districts would make only a small dent in the problem. And unfortunately,
homogeneous groups tend to reinforce and purify the views that bring them together: Sorting not only reflects
polarization but also intensifies it.
What The Post's editorial missed, however, is that these developments have not produced two mirror-image
political parties. We have, instead, asymmetrical polarization. Put simply: More than 70 percent of Republicans in
the electorate identify themselves as conservative or very conservative, while only 40 percent of rank-and-file
Democrats call themselves liberal or very liberal. It is far easier for congressional Republicans to forge and
maintain a united front than it is for Democrats. George W. Bush pushed through his signature tax cuts and Iraq
war authorization with substantial Democratic support, while unwavering Republican opposition nearly
torpedoed Barack Obama's health-reform legislation. When Democrats are in the majority, their greater
ideological diversity combined with the unified opposition of Republicans induces the party to negotiate within its
ranks, producing policies that not long ago would have attracted the support of a dozen Senate Republicans,

Consider the episode that The Post cited as Exhibit A for polarization: Sen. Robert Bennett's commendable work
with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden to develop a bipartisan health bill, which was used against him by
conservative Utah activists to deny him renomination. The Post failed to note, however, that Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell pulled the plug on the Wyden-Bennett initiative well before health reform was taken up
last year.
Bennett and other Republican co-sponsors of this bipartisan bill were told in no uncertain terms that the party
strategy was to block every major domestic policy initiative of the new administration and not to engage in
substantive negotiations that could produce bipartisan majorities on the floor. During the lengthy health debate,
not one Senate Republican spoke in support of the Wyden-Bennett bill. Tea Party activists outraged at
Republican incumbents for cavorting with the enemy (i.e., Obama and the Democrats) took their cue from
Republican Party leaders.
Under these conditions of asymmetrical polarization, Congress can become a haven for obstruction and gridlock
rather than deliberation and compromise. David Price, an 11-term North Carolina Democrat and distinguished
political scientist, has just published a frank account of the reasons that led Democrats leaders to abandon their
hopes of reinstating more open, less restrictive rules of procedure in the House. His essay is required reading
for those who want to understand the ground-level dynamics of polarization in action.
This is not to say that Congress is prevented from acting in a less purely partisan manner. When a supermajority
of people, of any partisan stripe, wants something to happen -- financial regulatory reform, for example --
chances are good that it will. But when the people are divided, the most strident voices tend to dominate, and
Congress reverts to the all-too-familiar pattern of behavior that has driven its public esteem to a record low. And
a Republican Party dominated at the grass roots by angry rejection of all bipartisanship -- and of all but the most
limited government -- may win support in the short term, but it will be hard put to cooperate productively in the
serious tasks of governance.

[big campaign] Congress getting "completely crushed" with 4-out-of-5 calls demanding the public
option
HEALTH INSURANCE
REFORM NOW
LET’S GET IT DONE!
Huffington Post, 10/20: “ Congress "Getting Completely Crushed" With Over 100.000
Calls For Obama’s Healthcare Reform ” :
It's not even noon on the West Coast and already Capitol Hill staffers say they're getting nonstop calls from
constituents in support of President Barack Obama's health insurance reform. At about 2:15 EST, Organizing for
America (OFA) surpassed it's goal of 100,000 phone calls to Congress, each one imploring representatives to vote for
reform. The nationwide "Time to Deliver on Health Reform" event is the most massive outpouring of support from
Obama supporters since Election Day 2008.
Senate Democratic aides told HuffPost that their phones have been ringing off the hook. "We're getting
completely crushed with calls, jamming our phone lines from the moment we opened," said one aide.
Another said they'd gotten "pretty much non-stop health care calls from OFA." A third also said their office
was getting bombed and that four out of every five calls specifically mentioned the public option.
Not surprising...
Washington Post, 10/20: ‘Public option gains support: CLEAR MAJORITY NOW
BACKS PLAN’ :
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with
private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and wins clear majority support from the public.
[...]
On the issue that has been perhaps the most pronounced flash point in the national debate, 57 percent of all
Americans now favor a public insurance option, while 40 percent oppose it. Support has risen since mid-August,
when a bare majority, 52 percent, said they favored it. (In a June Post-ABC poll, support was 62 percent.)

The crowd was nuts for her, and this was a particularly good effort by advance, it looked great.
Before the rally she did a tour of the training facility and learned about how carpentry is changing to be more
energy efficient in the equipment they use and the methods used to build frames for houses. There will be
some great images on the wire.
We're landing in Ohio now.
Executive summary: Hillary began by repeating some her remarks on Trump from this morning, which were
well received. Reporters noticed Hillary take strong swipes at Sanders’ misrepresentation of her record and
his own. She contrasted well with Sanders on her ability to get things done, highlighting that she “voted for
the auto bailout when it counted, and he didn’t” and speaking at length about her support of export-import,
which benefits Missouri. She got a lot of cheers when she closed by saying “let’s go build the future that our
country deserves, together.”

I want to say a few words about what happened last night in Chicago. You know, we will always have our

And if you see a bully, stand up to him.
Now look, I know it's no secret there are people angry on the left, on the right and for some very good reasons.
Many people have gotten a raw deal for too long. Our economy and our politics have failed to deliver results the way

And that means finding common ground where we can and holding our ground whenever we must. That means
working for real solutions to our problems. Not making promises we can't keep or proposals that don't add up. You
don't give the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great.
Our values, our diversity, our openness. These are strengths, not weaknesses. So we're not here to build walls.
We're here to break down all the barriers holding people back. And to build those ladders of opportunity for
everybody no matter where you live. No matter who you are. That has been my goal my entire adult life. To give
every person in this country, particularly our children, the chance to live up to their God-given potential. Because
then and only then, can America live up to its potential, too. So I can't thank you enough for being here this
morning. Because what I saw last night in Chicago was deeply disturbing to me.
We have work to do. We've got to break down the economic barriers that hold folks back. We don't have enough

6 radio interviews and 2 coffee shops this morning. Interviews were all live or taped
Detroit stations with the exception of one we did into Flint. Quick hits, mostly centered
around getting out to vote. Flint came up in every one, and then education, and ACA.
No flags. Every single interviewer was for her. Highlight of the morning was one of the
hosts, whose stage name is "Foolish" asked a question, to which HRC replied "Well,
Foolish, that is far from a foolish question." Awkward chuckles all around.
We did 2 OTRs, both at very hip coffee shops a couple of miles outside of downtown

Detroit.
The first was Avalon, not too far from the Shinola Store. HRC walked in and chatted
with the baristas a little, then went to one of two small sitting areas and shook a lot of
hands. She had several interesting conversations, one with a woman who has cystic
fibrosis, and her friend who also has it had met and chatted with HRC in NH. We'll get
the audio and have the exchanges transcribed.
Second OTR was at Astro coffee, near the old Detroit train station, which was pretty
striking. HRC shook a lot of hands and ordered yet more coffee. Lots of people
seemed to have voted, and lots said they'd voted for her.
Back at the hotel now, likely until we leave for Cleveland this evening.

ICYMI, HRC did a 7 minute pre-taped hit on Face the Nation this morning.
Dickerson began by asking if Senator Sanders should stay in the race until the
end. She said that's for him to decide, she's proud to have more delegates and to
have built a broad coalition that can win in November. He asked about
enthusiasm on the Republican side. She said that she was proud to have gotten
more votes than anyone in this race, and mentioned that she has more white
support than anyone if you exclude Vermont. She got asked about Trump bring
people into his coalition, she said she wanted everyone in hers. Asked about
emails and played a little offense on the WaPo report this morning that made clear
how many state officials, including career, we're sending what's now considered
classified. Name-checked Powell and mentioned that he called this all absurd.
Final question was about Libya, stemming from the NYT 2-parter last week.
Handled it well.
Then we went to church. 3 to be exact.
We began at the Holy Ghost Cathedral, with about 400 congregants I'd guess.
The Bishop gave a rousing introduction about how much she loves Hillary Clinton,
because HRC is a woman who's been through difficult times and come out on the
other side with the Glory of God.
HRC's remarks were powerful, she talked about the need for us to unite. That we
need citizenship and stewardship in addition to leadership. Real togetherness
message. She told the story of the prodigal son, and used it to talk to the
congregation about the discipline of gratitude. She then did Flint, schools in
Detroit, and then a litany on breaking down barriers. Ended by talking about the
need to never grow weary doing good.

Next up was Russell Street Missionary Baptist Church
Pastor gave a nice intro, started by praising President Clinton, said "today she
comes before us standing in her own shoes, with her own record, and her own
vision." Mentioned Debra and other strong women from the bible.
HRC opened with love and kindness. Talked about Flint, ended by saying that we
need to stand up for each other and our future.
Final church was Triumph Church. The sanctuary was a beautiful wooden dome
with stained glass windows. She opened with barriers here, then praised Obama
and the ACA. Talked about togetherness, and did Flint at the end.
Very good morning.
On a personal note, I just had two Coney Island hot dogs at the famous Lafayette
Coney Island next to the hotel. I highly recommend. Bring your defibrillator, or
ask to borrow one from USSS.

Jobs speech was great. She stuck to the script mostly, cut out a few things
(didn't mention the /ideas webpage and cut out the story at the end). Only
real add was a line at the end about "bad mouthing America" that some tried
to seize on as a shot at Bernie, but it was (mostly) about the GOP.
The Harwood interview was a little less substantive than promised, but she
did fine. Got clawbacks in there, and a lot of questions about her approach
to the economy, but all in the context of Bernie, Trump, what's politically
viable. She got emails as well, handled well.
Did an OTR at Kuzzo's Chicken and Waffles with the Mayor and
Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence. Lots of enthusiasm, lots of selfies.
We did 4 radio interviews, into Jackson, MS, New Orleans x2, and Detroit.
All very positive interviews, disproportionately about college affordability and

Two OTRs with Governor Mark Dayton complete.
Walked into Mapps Cafe in a trendy neighborhood near U of M, greeted by
about 50 patrons and 25 press.
We are now officially no longer 88 days from a press avail, but 0. Merica,
Kami, Abby Philipps, and some locals asked her questions. Merica asked
her about expectations today, she said were working hard, hope people turn
out. Asked about Sanders' path, she declined to comment, said she's going
to keep going.
Local asked about message for Minnesota voters today. Talked about
breaking down barriers.
Abby Philipps asked her about Trump being the eventual nominee. She
dodged. Said they all have deeply troubling views.
of the WaPo asked about Trump, she said things like this need to be
repudiated. She would continue speak out against bigotry.
Annie Kami asked her another expectations question (I think), she again
have a pretty stock answer. She tried to ask about asking for Bernie to get
out of the race, she said that everyone has to make their own decisions.
Local asked her about Trump, she talked about speaking out against insults.
She met a Somali woman who wanted to tel her she was going caucus for
her through her daughter who was translation. HRC told her she would be
the president for everyone.
She met another Somali American on the city council who she was
impressed by.

HRC, Dayton, and the Lieutenant Governor made it to the counter ordered
coffee (HRC got something called the Big Bang).
A guy came over to her at the counter and told her that he had just received
a letter back from her yesterday. He had written HRC about a health
problem (I think with his dad). They had a really nice exchange about how
useful it was for her to hear stories like his so she can figure out how to
help.
Her final real interaction before leaving was with a Somali-American girl,
probably 26 or 27, who said that Somali-American youth are being
marginalized and experiencing prejudice, and given her comments about the
African American community, how do we know she'd be any different now?
She mentioned super predator specifically. HRC said she'd used the word
one time, and to look at her record. The young woman said she knew what
her record was and that it was supportive of the African American
community, which is why so many have supported her campaign. She
mentioned the Somali-American councilman that she'd just seen, and that
she'd met with members of the community last time she was in Minneapolis.
The girl responded by saying something to the effect of the councilman
doesn't count. HRC told her that if she believes that than maybe she should
run for office. At this point the Governor intervened and the conversation
ended.
Left the coffee shop for Global Market, and indoor market with food and
other stands that sell various things. We got mobbed in the lobby so barely
made it to the proper market everywhere. Took some selfies and then out.
Taxiing now to head to Miami.

talking about Sanders on the trail. She basically refuted that citing her rallies
yesterday and proceeded to draw contrasts. Jacque Reid asked her about
what can be done in communities. She talked a lot about breaking down
barriers. Finally, Sybil Wilkes asked her about how her presidency would be
different than her husbands.

"Mista Madd" opened by calling her Madam President, pretending it was a
slip of the tongue. Questions were college loans, talked about making
America whole again. Final Q was about wages. And then the final final Q
was about what she'd do about health care.
We just wrapped up some satellite TV hits into Atlanta, Oklahoma City,
Denver, and Little Rock. She got or emails in all but Denver. She didn't go
full-bore on her most recent trust answer, but talked about not being a
natural politician, had a warm tone, all in all did well. Not really a flag unless
Healy and Chozick are trolling for nonsense this morning, but should
mention that she told the OK City anchor that WJC was her chief advisor. It

Remarks were met with enthusiasm, but she was largely back to her
longer/policy-laden stump, with trickle down again and a return to
some other old hits on Republicans. In other words, November, with
some of the new message stuff as bookends.
Got to Boston and were met by hundreds of people in the streets that

Below its the readout that Adrienne sent around to many of you. This
was a good rally. She loves her some Arkansas and Arkansas loves
her. She opened with a little togetherness but quickly reverted to her
stump, beginning with rising incomes. She ended by doing breaking
barriers. There were a few hundred people in the room and then a
few hundred more in a gymnasium next door where she spoke very
briefly and worked another long rope line.

###
Executive summary: This was one of Hillary’s best recent rallies. She
looked incredibly comfortable on stage as she spoke about the
differences between her and the Republican nominees, our country’s
economic success under her husband, voting rights, Supreme Court
and more.
Reporters noticed Hillary speaking more freely about her husband,
referring to him by his first name and to his time as president.
Mentions of her time in Arkansas, investment in jobs and infrastructure
and debt-free college got the most applause. She got a lot of nods
when she said, “its not enough to create opportunities for my
granddaughter, I want to create opportunities for everybody.”

2 churches and a coffee shop this morning. I was (and still am)
feeling blessed and caffeinated this Sunday afternoon.
Churches were Greater Imani Church and Mississippi Boulevard
Christian Church. Imani had about 2000 congregants there, 800
or so at Mississippi Blvd.
She gave a similar speech at each, sort of an abbreviated new
stump, did togetherness, mothers of the movement, health care,
love and kindness. First one was probably a little better
organized, but crowd at each was fired up. Lots of applause and
lots of individual cheers.
Left there and flew to Nashville, where we joined Tony Goldwyn
and the Mayor Megan Barry for a coffee stop at Fido, near
Vanderbilt. The place was packed, she ordered some coffee and
took lots of photos, spoke to the owner and his son for awhile.
On small thing to note: on the way in Tony asked her what
she thought of Trump's David Duke comments this morning. She
replied that it was "pathetic" under her breath, which has made a
little news (in a good way).
The rally at Meharry Medical college was high-energy. Tony
Goldwyn did LONG but solid intro. HRC visited an overflow room
with about 400. 800 in the main room. She told the story again
about the young, affluent white guy that emailed her after her
Harlem speech and said he'd been arrested but through
connections his parents made the charges go away. All people
must be equal under the law.
Long ropeline and out.

Good trip to Georgia.
City hall was packed, with several hundred more in overflow than
in the event itself. HRC spoke at both, with Mayor Reed getting
everyone fired up. Speech was shorter but pretty standard
stump otherwise.
We left and went to the Statehouse which was electric. Who
knew there were that many Democrats in Georgia. She
addressed the Democratic Caucus and did a short version of her
stump that was pretty crisp. She used a line about spending 10
months crafting policies, and while the press may have thought
that was boring, she's very proud of it. People loved it. There
were no press in the room.
We took many a selfie while wading through throngs of people,
with more pouring over the balconies, and headed to Octane
coffee shop for an OTR. Usher was going to join us but got stuck
in traffic...
Dan Merica asked her if she was jealous that she didn't get
Christie's endorsement, to which she responded with a prolonged
smile (you could see the gears turning), and then said "Dan, I
really like you. I really really like you." They are basically
courting each other at this point.
She got one question from local CBS, general about why she's in
Georgia. She gave a stock answer about being a good partner if
she's lucky enough to win.

Two events and two NBC interviews down, seem to be
surviving the day. I even venture to say it's going well.
The town hall in Kingstree was very engaging.
Stuck largely to remarks:
Senator Sanders wants to take us back on HC.
Hit the GOP, saying they have health care through their
jobs so what do they have to worry about.
Schools/Education
Did the SCOTUS piece, including Sandoval:
"Now there's been some talk that the President might
nominate the R Gov of NV. I love NV. But I sure hope the
President chooses a true progressive that stands up to the
values and interests of the people of this country, name-
checked voting rights."
Q<$A was strong, covered vets, someone asked about
Haley, accusing her of being so focused on being GOP VP
that she doesn't care about South Carolinians. Got asked
about HIPPY. Forgiveness of debt for enterprise in AfAm
communities. Guns, Ukraine, child asked what she would
do to stop terrorist attacks in the US, she gave a great
answer that ended with he telling the little girl to worry
about school and her friends, and HRC would worry about
making sure she's safe. Puerto Rico question from a
young autistic man- she advocated for them voting and if
they choose to become a state allowing them to do so.

Talked about voter turnout, NV caucus being better for Dem

Emails, you say it's partisan, but is it?
Conflation of court fight which are partisan and what DOJ is

Youth/Young women
She stayed closer than usual to the Teddy formulation:

Excited by someone who says well change it all
I remember being that age

1) Nomination
Not someone who gets ahead of myself.
Got to keep proving it over and over again.
2) Clyburn says you've been more conversational.
• So proud
• Fair observation
• We laid out a lot of policy in the beginning
• I wanted people to know my plans, etc
• Now we have some opportunities to talk about values at stake, breaking down barriers.
• Sense of convergence
• We've laid out the work we want to do.
• Now we can build on that about how we unite the country and have conversations about the future again.
3) Ohio/Bernie NAFTA hit
• Americans are asking who can stop other countries from hurting their workers and do a Manufacturing
Renaissance. ..rest of answer we provided- got in both Ex-lm investments in Ohio and name checked the
tire factory that benefited from the New Markets Tax credit in Sumter.
4) Protestor last night
• Poor choice of words
• Wouldnt' use them today's
• Life's work
• Lifting up children and young people
• Never got the chance they deserved
• School to prison pipeline
• Going to keep being a champion
• Break down the barriers, economic and racism
5) Trump/Supporters are former Trump supporters.
• Too soon to make judgements about this.
• NV Caucuses stat on turnout
6) People say their second choice is Bernie, seems to be an appetite for radical change.
• People are disappointed and feel like they've been let down.
Here at the church in Florence right now and people are FIRED UP. She's using "imagine" to frame the whole
speech. Working well.

Started the day with an interview with Joe Madison, she called him on our way to SC Strong in North Charleston.
Opened with a PBS story on the wealth gap growing. She talked about her plans and inequality in general. Follow
up was about Obama's hesitancy to have targeted efforts, instead focusing on the all boats rise with the tide
notion, so she skipped the Obama piece and talked about Clyburn's 10-20-30, her own plans.
Then he played Gwen Carr's comments lasts night, quoted some of her lines including the one about HRC seeking
them out, and compared it to Kennedy going to see MLK when he was arrested in Alabama. HRC gave a strong
answer about being humbled, being a mother and a grandmother.
Gitmo Q at the end, answer tracked with her statement yesterday.
SC Strong went well. She did some very brief opening remarks, had a couple of the round table participants share
their stories, and then we shuffled the press out.
Dropped by the Longshoremen's, she thanked everyone and asked for their vote. Great reception, they were very
grateful that she came to the hall.
On the way to the airport we called Rhonda Rawlings for her show.
Rhonda started with minimum wage. HRC stuck to her standard lines, mentioned equal pay, got a follow up on
why $12 and defended it well.
College affordability. She said she think debt free public education is achieveable. Covered student debt as well.
Breaking Down Barriers forum with the mothers in Greenville. ..talked about how amazing it was, then asked about

Ended with Obama's legacy.
Alpha Kappa Alpha event went well. She did some of her remarks, some ad libbing. She reprised her town hall Q
from last night where she was asked about trust and forgiveness, repeated what she said about the importance of
forgiveness and cited Mandela as our greatest example. Worked a rope line at the end for a fair amount of time.
Did two local affiliates before headed off to Sumter. CBS and NBC locals. Talked about the state of the race, why
she's in SC, Gitmo, and a quick O about emails and Benghazi in CBS. NBC asked her about SC, Trust, Trump,
Bernie supporters and how to bring them around if she wins, and one interesting question about her unique ability
to energize rooms with minorities in them.
We're in Sumter now at Moore College. She's been talking for 45 minutes. Covered it all! Possible impending

Mothers of the Movement Event
Here's a summary, but for those of you that didn't watch. ..it was quite something.
She opened by acknowledging Herb Buhl, who she worked with when she was down here working for CDF in
the 1960s. Told a funny story about not knowing how to drive a stick shift and him lending her a manual car.
She briefly told the stories of the mothers and the children they lost.
Guns are the leading cause of death among black men, more than the other leading 9 causes of death
combined. There was an audible sigh in the audience.
Talked about Gabby Giffords, and the 9 year old girl shot along with the others that day.

Politics are hard, I know that. But sometimes the hard things are sometimes the things that are most
important to do. President Obama wants to make guns a voting issue and I agree completely.
Please welcome these remarkable people who are taking this journey on behalf of all of us.
HRC turned it over to the guests.
Sabrina Fulton: "She walked in as a Presiodental candidate, walked out as a compassionate mother."
No one took notes fort her, she took notes for herself.
Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton, told her story.
Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis.- told her story. I have watched her bring people and countries back
into the fold back into the fray, and she has done a good thing.
Gwen Carr- Talked about all the outreach, how HRC came to them. Wondering what the catch was. "There
was no catch, she was just genuinely concerned." I endorse her, because she endorsed us first.
Geneva Reed-Veal, Sandra Bland's mom. Did a wonderful rant on the media and how tired she was of
them. Go out and vote. We have 9 months to put her in, she's the new baby. "There are no secret emails."
Mark Kelly: X percent of children that die from gun violence in the developing world die in the US.
Gabby- Here to talk about Hillary Clinton, who is tough, she is courageous, she will fight to make our families
safer. In the WH she will stand up to the gun lobby. Thanks why lU'm voting for Hillary. Speaking is difficult
for me but come January I want to say these two words. ..Madame President.
Standing ovation from the room, someone stood up and yelled "Madame President!" Everyone went nuts.
HRC said thanks to everyone, talked about their courage. I hope this is a movement that lasts, and ended to
work a rope line.

very strong, and invoked a little reflection on sexism. She asked about youth, but the framing was interesting,
which was that BdB and Eric Garner's mom endorse, but children of BdB and Eric Garner's sister do not. The
other question most of note was Judi observing that she hears people in the community say that HRC embraces
Obama only to pander to the AfAm population. Interesting that that broke through, (Stephanie if you talked to her
I'd be curious to hear more about how often she's hearing that), HRC's answer was good, she said that Senator
Sanders claiming that was offensive, that she nominated him at the convention, campaigned for him, worked for
him for 4 years, and that it "affects" her "personally" to hear Sanders and his supporters say that stuff.
Finance event in Atherton was largely uneventful. She did take questions. She dinged Uber when talking about
the Kalamazoo shooter, which thrilled many in the audience here in Silicon Valley, I'm sure. No encryption
questions.

Good live interview with Univision local this morning. Bernie was supposed to be on right after us but bailed late
last night. She did her pitch, talked about immigration, no fireworks.
Left there and dos two back of house visits, Caesars and Harrah's. Bernie was at Harrah's immediately before us,
stayed 5 minutes and left. We spent about 25 shaking hands and telling people where to caucus.
Left there and went to 2 caucus sites, the second of which she's working the (long) line at as we speak.
The Bernie folks are definitely here, but our organizers tell us these are very strong locations for us.

We visited the home of Vicki Early, a retired California utility company employee who moved to Nevada to buy her
first home, and installed solar panels on the roof, which she could afford with the Public Utility Commission offsets
on her fixed income until they got rolled back. She and her boyfriend Tyrone showed HRC the panels in the back
yard and told her story. HRC had the press come in closer to listen and then dos brief remarks of her own on the
importance of this issue for people like Vicki. Pretty great stuff.
Next we went to Youthbuild, an organization with a Nevada chapter that builds houses for Habitat for Humanity.
We walked through a big warehouse where HRC individually met about 15 workers. She was intrigued by how
most of them found the place, which was through Craigslist, and probed them on what they were learning and what
they wanted to do next. Most wanted to continue in the building trades. She spoke briefly, and invited the
Youthbuild and Habitat folks to speak as well.
We've also squeezed in two SC radio interviews. Both went well, talked about the Clyburn's endorsement, support
for President Obama, her plans on college affordability.
Headed to the town hall with high school students now.

Very engaging discussion, topics ranged from early childhood education to food deserts to Flint. HRC brought up
Flint proactively, and a woman stood up and said that she had family there, appreciated HRC saying that, her work
there, and that her assessment was exactly right. Audience was diverse across the board, lots of millennials and
lots of young people who work for various NGOs and advocacy groups with a lot of very good questions and
passionate comments. At the end HRC commented on her life's work, figuring out how to make difference in
people's lives as opposed to promising them the moon, and making sure lives are better when you're done than
when you started. Wasn't too hot but poignant and noticeable following 45 minutes of discussing the importance of
reading to your children every day.
We're now going to divert course and make a pit stop at a woman's house who has been affected by the Nevada
Public Utility Commissions retroactive rate changes on people selling solar back to the grid. Pool is with us.

Woke up in Milwaukee this morning and did a fundraiser at Harbor House. Very pretty setting just outside of
downtown on a partially frozen bright blue Lake Michigan. She gave a pretty standard stump, no Qs, and we
headed out.
South Carolina was quite something. Good crowd of about 450/500 at Denmark-Olar Elementary School (home of
the Vikings). HRC stuck largely to her remarks and outlined her $125 billion plan to improve underserved
communities, and took questions on just about everything: social security, health care multiple times, body
cameras, Flint, homeless vets, Trump, student loans, who she's pick for VP, and a little girl who gave her a drawing
that said on it: "I'm not bossy I have leadership skills." It was a very engaged, high-energy affair.
Following the town hall and a long ropeline, we did 2 TV stand ups and a print interview. Discussion in both
revolved around race relations, the state of the race, and education, which HRC discussed at length in a
dilapidated older locker room with paint people off the walls in the background.
Our print interviewer, Princess Williams, was really impressive. She won an award last year for best student
journalist in a college under 5000 students from the South Carolina Press Association. She was nervous but did a
great job, asked HRC about education, what we can't do beyond government programs to help level the playing
field, attracting young voters, and what life is like off the campaign trail.
We're in the air now headed back north to St. Paul for the Humphrey-Mondale Dinner.

NH and allowed her to talk about how grateful she is to the people here.
Also just did a 1 0 minute satellite hit with Al Sharpton. They talked about heading to Nevada and her strategy
there, he asked her how she would distinguish he civil rights record, then Flint, millennial women, voting rights, and
a question about Cruz's comments on Flint and Katrina both being cities with crisis and two very liberal mayors.
She didn't engage most of the answer and at the end said "that's not the world I live in, and not the world I'd govern
as President."
Strong interview in substance and tone.

We made an impromptu stop at Dunkin Donuts. Press came in briefly,
took some photos of HRC taking some photos, and departed. We stayed
and ordered some food, most of which was stolen from us and consumed
in the limo as I understand it. We did manage some coffees in the
staff van, which was game changing.
Then off to Dover. Another great showing by the organizing team, as
well as by Carly Fiorina's husband, who greeted the Secretary
enthusiastically. You'd never know his wife calls for HRC's
imprisonment on a daily basis.
Just got back to Manchester.

Happy Election Day!
We just went to the Ward 10 polling location at Parker Varney School
in Manchester.
HRC arrived to volunteers chanting "I believe that she will win!" and
worked the crowd. She shook about 75 hands and took lots of photos,
and then did an impromptu stand up with the morning show anchors.
They asked her about how she's feeling and expectations, she just
talked about how excited she was to be out talking to people and her
love for New Hampshire.
We took a few more photos and talked to WMUR for a few minutes, which
will air at noon.
Now we're in Nashua now headed to another location and on the phone
live with Mike Pomp of WTSN radio. Good conversation, she's talking
about her experiences up here, basically a perfect Election Day drive

HRC and WJC stopped by Chez Vachon for breakfast. Nice greasy spoon
with a French Canadian twist. HRC and WJC worked the tables, ran into
some longtime supporters, took a lot of selfies. President Clinton
was excited to see his photo still on the wall from when he visited
last.
Dan O'Neil, former Dodd and O'Malley supporter but '92 Clinton
supporter joined them for omelettes. Following breakfast, some more
selfie-taking ensued as did a conversation with a couple of vets.
Restaurant felt overwhelmingly supportive.
We went back to the hotel and taped 6 TV interviews with local and
Boston affiliates. Lots about the state of the race here and the
weather. Most asked about Warren which she handled well, a couple of
transcripts questions and a good exchange with FOX on sexism in
politics.
From there we went to Manchester Community College. Crowd of about
1 100, she did a few things differently, including calling Bernie out
for accepting DSCC money that came in part from Wall Street.
We taped Rachel Maddow after the event. It opened with the staffing
question and then covered the waterfront... Flint, trust, attacks,
transcripts. We let it go so Rachel would spend more time on the
positive which she did.
After Maddow we went to the Velcro factory. She went table to table
in their cafeteria which looked like a Johnny Rockets, shaking hands,
sometimes sitting down for brief conversations. Press pool got some
good stuff.
We're now back at the Radisson waiting to depart for WMUR where we'll
do a quick live hit on WMUR, she'll simply make a one minute pitch to
voters direct to camera.

Flint was quite moving. When we walked in the church and the water
fountains were covered and marked "out of order," all we've read and
seen in the news suddenly became much more real.
HRC met with mayor and an usher briefly, and she said that she fight
to keep the lights from dimming on this.
The crowd was extraordinarily supportive. Her remarks were brief
(12/15) but strong, with powerful response.
Afterwards she took photos, she did a very quick local standup in the
sanctuary (all about Flint), met with a group of local pastors and
went into the stakeholders/electeds meeting with the mayor.

CNN , Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment
with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision
made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin." [Broadcasting Cable 9/2/08]
McCain Campaign Attacks New York Times "While the press scrambles to report on the process by which Governor Palin
was offered the second spot on the Republican ticket, New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller has opted instead to make up her own
version of events." [Michael Goldfarb 9/02/08]
McCain Spokesman Claims ABC Reporter is a Liar "Apparently Tapper would not comment on how he managed to print a
story that had absolutely no basis in fact." [Tucker Bounds 9/02/08]

Palin Claims to be a Maverick Against Pork, But Received $27 Million in Earmarks "Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor, according
to an analysis by an independent government watchdog group." [Washington Post 9/02/08]
Palin Falsely Claims She Always Opposed 'Bridge to Nowhere' "While running for governor in 2006, though, Palin

Three things:
1. I believe we should establish our Arctic position soon. I agree with the approach in the memo and would just add at the
front "Based on what I know now...." This would give her some flexibility later.
2. I'd like John to take a close look at our revised LCV questionnaire. Can one of you send it to him, with the modified Arctic

Tom McMahon, Acting Executive Director, Americans United for Change: “Let’s take the
GOP’s disingenuous advice for a moment, ‘slow things down’ and look what’s happening here. Literally tens of
thousands of Americans each and every month are joining the already 47 million who have absolutely no health
insurance. Unwilling to let another year go by as 2.3 million Americans lose their coverage and exploding health
care costs keep our economy pinned down, the President has reached out to both parties in Congress and asked
for reform that guarantees all Americans access to quality and affordable health care. And all the Party of NO can
do in response is lick their chops at the thought of scoring political points and derailing his Presidency. That’s
sick. Have they offered any alternative health care plan of their own? Of course not. They’re perfectly happy to
‘slow down’ reform another 15 years as long as those big insurance checks keep coming in.”

this is a press decision, but i would be against giving out anything that is not otherwise public, like money or signups, if we want to
address that stuff at all, would just say something generic about how donations and volunteer signups are flying in, and not give
numbers.
stats like RTs, Facebook likes, video views on Facebook, etc., which are public anyway, can of course be shared, we can compile if

She had no plans to sit but wanted to see the Toner kids present. She sat again after remarks and connected
with most of the beat folks as Huma noted below along with Jonathan Martin, Betsy Fischer, Laura Meckler, and
a few others. The Carolyn Ryan conversation was awkward but appreciated by Carolyn. She asked her a few
questions about health care and the courts. Was fine.
The best part is that HRC was squarely in the mindset of very glad she did it, and glad she stayed and mingled.
It was a good setting for it.
A little griping about her not taking questions (Biden spoke last year and also did not take Qs), including Dan Balz
jokingly offering to yield his time for her to take some questions during his remarks. But I think it was fine,
especially because it was truly what the family wanted.
All in a all and very good evening.

Hello John, Cheryl, Victoria and Jennifer - Although I continue to respond to people's sharing of their concerns
about the Foundation and/or my father's world by telling them that 1 ) I hope they will share their experiences/
concerns/hopes/fears with Victoria and her team candidly and 2) that it is critical that as we move to
professionalize the Foundation for the future that professionalism starts with this process - people continue to
share things with me. Although I continue to not respond or engage beyond what I outlined above, I do think -
and my mother strongly agreed as a lawyer - that I should pass along to you Victoria and your team and to you
John and Cheryl the below as more information (factual or suspected or imagined). Particularly in advance of
what I understand will be an intermediate conversation with Doug tomorrow. I continue to want - and to try - to
disintermediate myself from this muddle, edify the corporate audit and existential process we are in - while also
being a responsible board member, daughter and person.
In that vein, I was told or experienced the following since we had our meeting last week Victoria:
- today that Doug reached out to someone at Harry Walker (who represents my father on all speaking
arrangements), to ask for a full list of all his speeches, how much he was paid for each speech, and told the
contact person at Harry Walker that all speeches should now go through him, not Terry Krinivic (the scheduler)
- that Ilya physically saw/caught Justin a couple of days ago reading his bberry and loading the same spyware
onto his computer that he loaded onto Bari's computer
- a secret service agent told Marc (my husband) that Justin had asked another secret service agent to lie about
the parking pass absurdity [we can talk about this really ridiculous anecdote offline]
- multiple people shared with me how upset they were at hearing how Justin referred to my father in the last
week - in very derogatory ways widely sadly
- Oscar told my father he knows Justin reads his emails
- my father was told today of explicit examples at CGI of Doug/ Teneo pushing for - and receiving - free
memberships - and of multiple examples of Teneo 'hustling' business at CGI - and of people now having quit at
CGI
- that Doug told Jon Davidson he was never going to forgive him for not reporting that Dad met with John (ie you
John) on Sunday and that how could Jon forget who he really worked for
- Doug told Terry Krinivic she would never work again in this town if she didn't back him up on everything
- Ilya believes Hannah and Justin have taken significant sums of money from my parents personally - some in
expenses - cars, etc. - and others directly
As ever, on some of the above I am sure there are three sides as my grandmother would say - his, hers and the
truth. On others, it seems more clear. All of it makes me very sad. Thank you all for your help. The only people I
am sharing the above with are you, my mother and my father. Please let me know as ever if you have any
questions or advice.
Thank you,
Chelsea

LEAGUE OF
Dear John,
The Senate is facing another critical environmental decision right
now.
The Senate is debating legislation that responds to the oil spill
catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. While this bill is no substitute for
action on a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill, it would help
ensure companies like BP are held fully accountable, prevent future oil
spill catastrophes, protect our nation’s natural heritage, and curb the
free reign the oil and gas industries have enjoyed for far too long
Big Oil's army of lobbyists is fighting this bill hard - they and their
cronies in Congress want taxpayers to foot the bill for the disaster in
the Gulf.
The Senate plans to vote this week - this is the moment when our calls, Hill visits, online and TV
advertising, and grassroots outreach are the most effective. And for the next 12 hours, your support
will go twice as far to get the message through:
Hurry - the matching gift offer expires at midnight tonight! Give now and your gift will be
automatically doubled by a generous donor as furious as you.
But as Big Oil ramps up its efforts, we can only be as aggressive in our response as our resources allow.
John, I know you're furious with the spineless Senators who caved to Big Oil's money and influence.
This is your chance to stand up against Big Oil. This is the most effective way you can fight back and
help put an end to our dangerous addiction to oil. This is just the start - with Bection Day a little more than
90 days away, we need every resource at our disposal to beat back Big Oil and Dirty Coal’s millions.
Won’t you stand up against Big Oil and Dirty Coal? Every dollar you give before MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT will go twice as far to support our tireless efforts to defeat those responsible for
last month’s setback and ensure pro-environment leaders win in November.
If you still believe in a clean energy future, join with us to keep the pressure on Congress to stay
strong in the face of Big Oil's assault on our environment.
Thank you for your support. We can’t do this without you.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
League of Conservation Voters
There are only 12 hours left
before the matching gift offer
expires and we haven't heard
from you yet.
Don’t let Big Oil off the hook.
Give by midnight TONIGHT
and every dollar will be
doubled »

Subject: Additional Names -- Policy
To: Cheryl Mills < chervl. mills@amail.com >
Here are a few thoughts on great policy talent, to go along with Comms/Press names I gave you. All could
be day to day policy director or dep policy director material.
David Zikusoka -- he's about 32, Harvard grad, worked on '07-'08 policy staff of Obama campaign doing
domestic policy, foreign policy staffer for Biden, and now at DoD. Ugandan parents. Ziggy is incredibly
smart, hard working and a delight to be around. Jake Sullivan should know him well (he worked for Jake
when he was with Biden).
Wally Adeyamo -- he's about Ziggy's age, maybe a few years older. Yale law. Worked for Geithner and
Neil Wolin at Treasury, CFPB, and I'm not sure where in Admin he is now but could track him down. Whip
smart, serious, has management expertise so could run policy process. I believe he has worked on
campaigns (maybe Edwards?) in past.
I would guess that both Ziggy and Wally would be very interested if role was senior enough. Three other
people who might be good, though perhaps harder to pull from what they are doing now:
Jason Green -- Yale Law, about 34, former Obama campaign staff, White House counsel's office, now
running a startup. Very interested in long term career in politics in Maryland.
Michelle Jawando -- former Gillibrand legislative director. Now VP for Legal Policy at CAP.
Deirdre Henry Spires — superstar former senate finance committee staffer when Baucus was chair, she
was point on everything from tax policy to unemployment to health care. Jason Furman and I tried to get
her high ranking assistant secretary post at DOL when she left senate. I think she maybe took something
at HHS with Sylvia. Very talented. She's about 40, with family, so may be tougher. But she is great.

Subject: Energy Policy - Would You Like Some Help?
John,
If you would like help on the transition team for energy matters I
would be happy to help out. I have attached my resume.
Washington generally regards Oklahoma as a black hole when it comes to
alternative energy. We're seen as part of the old guard, an oil and
gas state, enemies of alternative energy initiatives and hostile to
concerns about global warming. Our Congressional delegation leaves
that impression, no doubt.
The truth is more layered. True, we are the 3rd largest domestic
producer of natural gas and the 5th largest producer of domestic oil.
I know both industries well. I also know the dangers to national
security, the economy and the environment of an energy policy of more
of the same. Consequently, the focus of my efforts as the Secretary
of Energy for the last 5 years has been to introduce alternative,
sustainable energy solutions in Oklahoma, to build public acceptance
and legislative support for a new course.

We have been remarkably successful. Some of the highlights, we have
Authored and passed legislation to establish a $40 million Oklahoma
Bioenergy Center to develop both feedstock (cellulosic) and conversion
technologies for biofuels. The OBC currently has collaborations with
Oakridge, Idaho National Lab, Abengoa, Ceres Inc and has established a
1000 acre switchgrass farm;
Established cost sharing formulas across the Southwest Power Pool
(FERC approved) to facilitate the build out of electric transmission
to 40,000 +/-megawatts of wind power in western Oklahoma, western
Kansas and the Texas Panhandle;
Initiated a Demand Side Management rule making so that the electric
utilities understand that their duty to promote efficiency, as well as
to provide electricity safely and reliably;
Established task forces on C02 sequestration management, promulgation
of new statewide efficiency standards, conversion of government fleets
to alternative fuels;
Established a state agency to manage trading in carbon credits.
At the regional and national level, I served as the Governor's
representative to the Western Governor's Association (WGA) where I
co-chaired the Alternative Transportation Fuels Task Force (report
issued in January 2008) and co-chair the WGA Transportation Fuels
Council. I am Governor's representative on the Governors' Ethanol
Coalition, the Governors' Wind Coalition as well as other groups (see
resume).
As for policy, the common argument is that we need to do everything.
We can't. I would identify those areas where we get the most
leverage, where federal government initiatives can make a difference,
including some likely to yield near term results. A sample of four
areas on which the US should concentrate are
vehicle fuel efficiency ( lowest hanging fruit and the only way to
really dent oil imports in the short term);
build out of a smart, fully integrated national electricity
transmission infrastructure (enabling the more efficient use of
generation capacity);
development of advanced battery technology (the key to deep market
penetration of PEHV and ultimately the full use of our wind power);
development of advanced, affordable solar technology and deployment to
the residential and commercial sectors (moving that load off the
grid).
I am leaving office in mid-December to return to the private sector.
I am joining others in a new venture to invest primarily in the
alternative energy sector, However, if I can be of help, let me know.
All the best,

LABOR DAY
GRESSMAN JOHN GARAMENDI

- HONORING THE WORKING FAMILIES OF AMERICA
Dear Friends,
From my family to yours, Happy Labor Day!
Today we celebrate and honor the many men and women who fought the long struggle for
better working conditions and fairer wages and benefits in our country. We must never
forget the countless Americans who risked their livelihoods, and sometimes even their
lives, to make the American Dream accessible to the many and not a privilege of the few.
We stand on the shoulders of giants.
The American middle class was strongest when American manufacturing was strongest.
The American economy grew fastest when workers stood together and demanded a living
wage for their hard work.
That’s why in Congress, I’ve stood against bad trade deals like the Trans Pacific
Partnership, and I’ve fought for Make It In America policies that make sure that when we
invest our taxpayer dollars into infrastructure, that money is used to buy goods and
equipment made in America. I’ve fought against the dismantling of basic social safety net
services like food support for lower income families, and I’ve urged my colleagues to
support equal pay for equal work and guaranteed paid sick leave. There’s no one in
Congress doing more to bring back American shipbuilding.
Your support helps me continue this work to expand America’s middle class.
In the past several decades, through bad public policy choices and increased and often
unfair competition, the economic engine that created the middle class has been breaking
down. In 1965, the average CEO of a large corporation in America made 24 times the
earnings of their workers. Today, the average CEO makes more than 300 times the
average worker's salary. Adjusted for inflation, the federal minimum wage today is 30%
smaller than it was in 1968. Massive American wealth is still being generated, but almost
all of it is being tunneled to the top. We can do better.
We need leaders in Washington who’ll stand up to the plutocrats who think income
inequality and poverty wages are a good thing. Hardworking Americans deserve a voice,
and with your support. I will continue to be that voice in 2016 and beyond.
Thank you once again, and I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day surrounded by the love
and support of family and friends.
Sincerely,
Congressman John Garamendi

When anyone contributes to the Clinton Foundation, it goes towards Foundation programs that save
lives. The majority of the support from governments was for specific, multi-year programs that are still
improving the lives of millions of people around the world and were underway well before Secretary
Clinton took office. Both the Clinton Foundation and President Obama’s transition team believed that
funding should continue to provide live-saving FHV/AIDS medicine to more than 8 million people in
more than 70 countries, training for nearly 40,000 farmers in Malawi, Tanzania, and Rwanda trying to
earn a better living and to help reduce of 33,500 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually among

Q. Why was it important for the foundation that some foreign government
donations be allowed to continue after Hillary Clinton became secretary of
state (i.e. those from governments that had been giving and then continued
to do so at a steady pace, as well as new or increased donation that cleared a
state department review)? Why do foundation officials believe such donations
did not pose any conflicts of interest given Secretary Clinton's role, as some
have alleged?

Foundation programs that save lives. The majority of this support
from governments is for specific, multi-year programs that are
improving the lives of millions of people around the world and were
underway well before Secretary Clinton took office. It’s hard to
imagine someone arguing that funding should be cut off for the more
than 8 million people getting access to live-saving HIV/AIDS
medicine in more than 70 countries, the nearly 40,000 farmers in
Malawi, Tanzania, and Rwanda trying to earn a better living or the
reduction of 33,500 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.”

First batch of Hillary's State Department emails released
By LAUREN FRENCH, JOSH GERSTEIN and BRYAN BENDER
5/22/15 12:13 PM EDT
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/hillary-clinton-emails-release-1 18214.html
The first batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s four years running the State Department was released
Friday.
Even before the emails were made public, the State Department argued that the nearly 900 pages of
documents do not fundamentally alter the findings of the State Department’s Accountability Review
Board that probed the Benghazi terrorist attacks.
“The emails we release today do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the events
before, during, or after the attacks, which have been known since the independent Accountability
Review Board report on the Benghazi attacks was released almost two and a half years ago,” wrote
the department’s deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf.
These highly anticipated emails, some of which have already leaked out, give insight into Clinton’s
tenure as the top U.S. diplomat. They’re also serving as fodder for critics of the Democratic
presidential front-runner, who is still dogged by questions about a 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi
that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens.
And they are sure to raise more questions about the administration’s and Clinton’s response to what
quickly became a political scandal. There is an email dated Sept. 15 with Clinton providing “talking
points” for an upcoming closed-door hearing before the House Select Committee on Intelligence, but
with the exception of Jake Sullivan the recipients are blacked out, along with the entire document.
It states only: “Per the discussion at Deputies, here are the revised TPs for HPSCI.”
The emails also show that Clinton received now-classified documents on her personal email address.
One of the documents State recently deemed classified was a November 201 2 email reporting possible
arrests in Libya related to the Benghazi attack. The memo was sent through unclassified State
Department channels and forwarded to Clinton’s private account by Sullivan, State’s Director of Policy
Planning. A notation on the document released says it was classified as -“SECRET” — the middle tier of
national security classification — on Friday, the same day the records were released.
Clinton has been under intense pressure for weeks since it was revealed that she used a non-official
email address while at the State Department and stored those emails on a personal server in her New

York home. Republicans jumped on those revelations to accuse Clinton of attempting to runaround
federal records laws and keep key documents about Libya and Benghazi from the public.
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, has subpoenaed
the State Department for all documents on Libya from Clinton’s time at the State Department and is
refusing to schedule the former secretary to testify until the Obama administration turns the emails
over to congressional investigators.

Insiders: Benghazi testimony works to Hillary's advantage
KATIE GLUECK
Gowdy said in a statement Friday that the committee will continue to seek all documents from Clinton’s
tenure at the State Department on Libya and Benghazi and not the “self-selected” emails the former
secretary made available.
“To assume a self-selected public record is complete, when no one with a duty or responsibility to the
public had the ability to take part in the selection, requires a leap in logic no impartial reviewer should
be required to make and strains credibility,” Gowdy said.
The Benghazi Committee has had access to this first batch of email, which represents less than 2
percent of the 55,000 emails Clinton returned to State, for months. Leaked portions of the emails
contain extensive communications between Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal — a longtime family ally.
Blumenthal would often send Clinton memos on the security in Libya before the 2012 attacks that left
four Americans dead.
Blumenthal’s analyses of Libya was often met with skepticism from senior State Department officials,
including Clinton. Gowdy asked the U.S. Marshals Service to serve Blumenthal with a subpoena on
Tuesday.
The emails also give a personal look at Clinton’s habits and relationships.
A Oct. 7, 2012 email from Blumenthal invited Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to
a dinner.
“Postelection, we’d like to have you over for dinner. Bill can come, too, if he’s in town. Whatever
works,” Blumenthal wrote.
The rest of the 55,000 emails will be released to the public in stages. State proposed releasing those
records next January, but a judge rejected that plan and ordered the agency to come up with a rolling
schedule, which has yet to be finalized.
The documents released Friday are from January 2011 to Dec. 31 , 2012, “and relate to the security of,
and attacks on, the State Department facility in Benghazi and to the United States’ diplomatic presence
in Libya, including in Benghazi,” Harf said.
Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said in a statement that the
committee should now schedule Clinton to testify.
“Instead of the selective leaking that has happened so far, the American people can now read all of
these emails and see for themselves that they contain no evidence to back up claims that Secretary
Clinton ordered a stand-down, approved an illicit weapons program, or any other wild allegation
Republicans have made for years,” Cummings said.

Hillary Discussed Speculation About Her Health
With Aides In Emails
ALEX PAPPAS
Political Reporter
1:15 PM 05/22/2015
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed with aides the chatter on cable news about
whether she actually suffered a concussion in 2012, according to emails released by the State
Department on Friday.
A week before she was to testify before Congress in December 2012 about the attacks in Benghazi,
Clinton postponed her appearance with aides explaining she had fainted and suffered a concussion.
On Dec. 20, chief of staff Cheryl Mills forwarded Clinton by email a transcript of Fox News host Greta
Van Susteren discussing Clinton’s health with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain.
“Senator,” Van Susteren said during that segment, “there is a report from the State Department that
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on Benghazi before the middle of January. There has
been some criticism of whether or not she has a concussion. I believe she has a concussion. What
do you think?”
McCain replied: “I have never seen her back down. And I believe that she is now not physically well
enough to testify and she will testify the middle of January.”
Mills sent a transcript of that interview to Clinton’s personal email — hrod@clintonemail.com — and
to close aide Huma Abdein.
Speaking of McCain, Clinton replied: “Huma called him and [South Carolina Sen. Lindsey] Graham.”
“Also,” Clinton added, “someone should call Greta VS to thank her for ‘knowing the truth.’”
The emails released Friday, ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, are a few of the thousands the
Democratic presidential candidate has turned over to the State Department from her personal email
account. Clinton acknowledges she used that email account for both personal and official business.

Statement on the Release of Secretary Clinton’s Benghazi
Emails
Washington, DC — Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., today
issued the following statement after the State Department released 300 self-selected emails from
former Secretary Hillary Clinton, over which the department had no control and no custody for
nearly two years. These emails were turned over to the State by former Secretary Clinton in the
fall of 2014 in reaction to a request from the Select Committee:
“More than six months after the Select Committee first discovered Secretary Clinton’s unusual
email arrangement with herself, and after the media discovered Secretary Clinton relied
exclusively on a personal server housing a personal email account eschewing any official email
address, State Department transferred 300 messages exclusively reviewed and released by her
own lawyers,” Gowdy said. “These lawyers, it must be noted, owed and continue to owe a
fiduciary responsibility to Secretary Clinton to protect her interests. To assume a self-selected
public record is complete, when no one with a duty or responsibility to the public had the ability
to take part in the selection, requires a leap in logic no impartial reviewer should be required to
make and strains credibility."
“It is also important to remember these email messages are just one piece of information that
cannot be completely evaluated or fully understood without the total record. The Committee is
working to collect and evaluate all of the relevant and material information necessary to evaluate
the full range of issues in context. We will not reach any investigative conclusions until our work
is complete, but these emails continue to reinforce the fact that unresolved questions and issues
remain as it relates to Benghazi.”
“The Select Committee continues to believe the American people have a right to the full and
complete record of her official emails and, therefore, asked Secretary Clinton to turn her server
and the full body of emails over to a neutral, detached, independent third party for review. This
is also why the State Department must comply with a months-old subpoena for emails of the
former Secretary’s top aides, whose emails have never been received or reviewed by any
congressional committee."
“The Committee’s interest is in building a complete record from which the final, definitive
accounting regarding the terrorist attacks in Benghazi can be provided. The best way to answer
all questions related to the attacks in Benghazi continues to be having access to the full public
record, not a "record" controlled, possessed and screened exclusively by Secretary Clinton's
personal lawyers.”

###
Background Information on Released Emails:
Among the emails the Select Committee finds highlight the existence of significant
investigative questions:
September 24, 2012 — “Compiled protest and Benghazi Statements.” A document that reinforces issues relating to
characterization of the motives for the attacks. For example, Jake Sullivan noted, “You never said spontaneous or
characterized the motives. In fact you were careful in your first statement to say we were assessing motive and
method. The way you treated the video in the Libya context was to say that some sought to ‘justify* the attack on
that basis.”
August 24, 2012 — “H: Intel on new Libya president. Sid.” In this document two and a half weeks before the
attacks, Jake Sullivan writes to the Secretary, “Some warning signs,” in response to the deteriorating security
situation in Benghazi, which forced the Red Cross to suspend activities, and reinforces questions about what was
done in response to these warnings.
April 4, 2012 — “Secretary Clinton’s Leadership on Libya.” This document characterizes Secretary Clinton’s
ownership of U.S. policy in Libya.
April 8, 201 1 — “UK game playing; new rebel strategists; Egypt moves in. Sid” In this document, Secretary Clinton
responded to a Blumenthal memo with, “Fyi. The idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should
be considered.”
There are several instances of State personnel notifying the Secretary about
security concerns and issues:
April 10,2011 - Forwarded email about deteriorating security
April 22, 201 1 - Request for continuous coverage in Benghazi, “security permitting”
April 24, 201 1 - Forwarded email about hotels being targeted
June 1 0, 201 1 - Email including information about credible threat info against hotel and that personnel are
evacuating to alternate locations
August 21, 201 1 - Email regarding concerns about Islamist militias
January 9, 2012 - Email stating that disarming and reintegrating of militias isn’t going as well as they had hoped
February 24, 2012 - Email stating that militia rivalries are dangerous
August 24, 2012 - Email stating that there are “some warning signs”
The Committee also has an interest in understanding the inexplicable gaps in the
Secretary’s emails during key times of her involvement in Libyan policy, including:
June 10-August 8, 201 1 — Time period where Secretary Clinton was heavily involved in Libya
policy
September 14-October 21 2011 — Dates of Secretary Clinton’s trip to Libya, when the now-
famous picture of Clinton on her blackberry was taken
October 21 , 201 1 -January 5, 2012 — Time period when the State Department was extending the
Benghazi mission for another year

First Batch of Hillary Clinton's Emails on Libya Made Public
BY CARRIE DANN
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/hillarv-clinton/first-batch-hillary-clintons-emails-libva-made-
public-n362506
A batch of Hillary Clinton's personal emails made public on Thursday morning offers a glimpse
into her team's initial exchange of information in the wake of the Benghazi attacks as well as her
relationship with longtime confidante Sidney Blumenthal, who sent her at least two dozen memos
regarding Libya during her tenure as Secretary of State.
The State Department plans to release about 850 pages of the emails, which had been handed
over to the congressional panel investigating the Benghazi attacks. But on Thursday, the New
York Times released about a third of that batch of correspondence, which Clinton exchanged
using a private server rather than a government email account.
The documents show that, while Clinton used her personal email account to receive information
the government calls "sensitive," she did not appear to use her private server to exchange
classified information.
The "sensitive" information included details like the location of State Department officials in Libya
during a time of instability in the country in 201 1 .
The documents released by the New York Times also show that Clinton received numerous
briefing memos about Libya from Blumenthal, a longtime friend of the Clintons who was not
employed by the State Department. The New York Times reported earlier this week that
Blumenthal was also involved with a possible business venture in the country at the time.
Two of those memos from Blumenthal came in the days immediately following the September 1 1 ,
2012 Benghazi attacks.
In one, sent on September 12, Blumenthal suggested that top security officers in the country
believed that the attacks "were inspired by what many devout Libyan viewed as a sacrilegious
internet video on the prophet Mohammed originating in America." Clinton forwarded that
information to top adviser Jake Sullivan with the message "more info."
But another memo sent the following day indicated that the attacks may have actually been
carried out by a militia group. Blumenthal wrote that officials in the country "believe that the
attackers having prepared to launch their assault took advantage of the cover provided by the
demonstrations in Benghazi protesting an internet production seen as disrespectful to the

The release of the emails comes after a prolonged political fight for Clinton over her use of a
private email server while serving as Secretary of State.
On Tuesday, Clinton urged the State Department to expedite the vetting of the emails after initial
reports suggested that the data trove would not be ready for public release until January of next
year

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton received
information on her private email server about the deadly attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in
Benghazi that was classified Friday at the FBI’s request.
The email in question, forwarded to Clinton by her deputy chief of staff, relates to reports of
arrests in Libya of possible suspects in the attack.
The information was not classified at the time the email was sent and was upgraded from
unclassified to “secret” on Friday, according to State Department officials. The officials said
23 words of the November 2012 message were redacted from the release of 896 emails
totaling 296 pages, to protect information that may damage foreign relations.
They said no other redactions were made for classification reasons.
Spokeswoman Marie Harf says publication includes 296 e-mails given to a House committee
investigating the 2012 attack on the US diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.
She says redactions were made according to Freedom of Information Act standards. The
emails will be released via the State Department’s FOIA website, foia.state.gov
The documents cover e-mails between 201 1 and 2012 related to the Benghazi facility and
its security, and to the broader issue of a US diplomatic presence in Libya.
Harf says the e-mails don’t provide new facts about how four Americans were killed on Sept.
11, 2012. The State Department also said on Twitter that the emails don’t provide a change
in its understanding of the events.
The State Department is still reviewing 55,000 further pages of e-mails from Clinton’s private
email account. They’ll be published on a rolling basis.

2. Robby presented at the AFL-CIO Political Director's meeting today and
did a excellent job! I've gotten feedback from several unions that they felt
Robby's presentation was very good. Robby was asked about energy,
apprenticeship tax credit, fundraising, field staffing and of course trade
(CWA). Sanders' campaign presented afterward and I understand it was
"respectable but didn't change any minds". Sanders emphasized his $15
million fundraising and his low dollar fundraising (under $37). If anyone
would like additional details, I'm happy to provide. Those were the big take
aways.
No new RSVPs today to John's HRC reception.

Subject: Press plan
Friends - I have an update and a new idea to share.
First, I spoke with David and the earliest we could put out a statement about the thumb drive and server is later
this afternoon. He has a 2 pm call to resolve remaining issues.
I think our best course now is to hold our staff statement till Sunday afternoon (past Sunday shows), have Brian
and I do a lot of tv on Monday to air some of the issues out and then not have HRC do an interview until
Tuesday. She would, however, have to do a media avail on Monday. Two benefits of this revised plan - we
have a better sense of press reactions before having her sit down and it is more time for her to be in right head
space. Given where she is now, I don't think it is realistic to expect that an interview on Monday would go well.
Do also think there is a value in having staff take first round of questions on this.
Thoughts?

direct, and more even-handed. Not defiant but not particularly contrite either. See what you think. (Will leave it to Nick,

Subject: Re: Sec 115
I thought it went well and was well-timed -- there was a strong sense that the upcoming Indian elections provided
an opening to elevate cooperation in this space, which gave the discussion a little more focus and urgency. The
fact that we had such high-level administration interest and participation at the meeting and dinner from you,
Moniz, etc. really impressed on the Indian side that this is something that the Obama administration cares about.
We got to the stage where we were able to agree on joint recommendations for each session, with some more
concrete than others. Once we get final language ironed out in the next week or so, we will be sending a joint
letter to Sec Moniz and his counterpart (Montek) with some ideas for their upcoming Energy Dialogue, and then
will be sending a full set of Track II recommendations to both gov'ts right after the April/May Indian elections.
Of course, still plenty of vehement disagreement on many things and we didn't even try to get into the int'l
negotiations, but I think the work that you all put into this over the past few years is paying off. I'll be sure that
you see all of the joint recs, plus any other promising ones that we couldn't agree on but are still worth pushing.

SFGate: “House panel: No administration wrongdoing in Benghazi attack”
By Carolyn Lochhead
August 1, 2014, 3:53 p.m. FDT
The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the
2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson
of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.
The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to
approve making the report public.
Thompson said the report "confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S.
forces) was given."
That conflicts with accusations of administration wrongdoing voiced by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista (San Diego County), whose House Government
Oversight and Reform Committee has held hearings on the Benghazi attack.

Stevens, who grew up in Piedmont, and the other Americans died when Libyans attacked the consulate on Sept. 1 1 , 201 2. Among the Intelligence
Committee's findings, according to Thompson:
- Intelligence agencies were "warned about an increased threat environment, but did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it
happened."
- "A mixed group of individuals, including those associated with al Qaeda, (Moammar) Khadafy loyalists and other Libyan militias, participated in
the attack."
- "There was no 'stand-down order' given to American personnel attempting to offer assistance that evening, no illegal activity or illegal arms
transfers occurring by U.S. personnel in Benghazi, and no American was left behind."
- The administration's process for developing "talking points" was "flawed, but the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments
in the days immediately following the crisis."
Those talking points included assertions that those who attacked the compound were angered by an obscure anti-Muhammad video posted to
YouT ube in the U.S. There is disagreement to this day about whether that was the case.
Pittsburgh Tribune: “Clinton praises Trib publisher's fight 'for what he believed'”
By Salena Zito and Mike Wereschagin
August 2, 2014, 6:57 p.m. EDT
An unlikely friendship drew former President Bill Clinton to a sunny hilltop in the Laurel Highlands on Saturday, where he paid tribute to the late
Tribune-Review owner Richard Mellon Scaife.
“If someone had asked me the day I left the White House what's the single most unlikely thing I would ever do, this would rank high on the list,”
Clinton told about 150 Trib Total Media employees, who gathered around the pool at Scaife's boyhood home in Penguin Court for the memorial.
Scaife died July 4, a day after his 82nd birthday.
A founder and funder of conservative think tanks and advocacy groups, Scaife's opposition to Clinton marked much of the latter's two terms as
president. But the acrimony softened after Clinton left office in 2001 , and the two became friends, with Scaife supporting Clinton's foundation and
his wife's 2008 presidential campaign.
Clinton said he's “grateful” to former New York Mayor Ed Koch, a mutual friend, for convincing Clinton that he and Scaife had more in common than
he thought. The two met on July 31, 2007, in the Harlem offices of the Clinton Foundation. Scaife later donated more than $100,000 to the
foundation.
“Our differences are important. Our political differences, our philosophical differences, our religious differences, our racial and ethnic differences,
they're important. They help us to define who we are," Clinton said. “But they don't have to keep us at arm's length from others.”
Clinton used his reconciliation with Scaife and the friendship the two forged as an example of what's missing in conflicts from Capitol Hill to Gaza.

“I think the counterintuitive friendship we formed is a good symbol of Richard Mellon Scaife's legacy. He fought as hard as he could for what he
believed, but he never thought he had to be blind or deaf to re-evaluating his positions, no matter how closely held, Clinton said.
The description “counterintuitive” was borrowed from his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who used the word to describe her
meeting with Tribune-Review reporters and editors in 2008, during the hotly contested Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania.
The paper's editorial board endorsed Hillary Clinton in the April primary election, and Scaife penned an opinion piece praising the New York
Democrat.
“You need to know that she treasures that column and that experience,” Clinton said.
The sprawling hilltop estate in Ligonier, with sweeping views of the Laurel Highlands, was named for the 1 0 penguins that once roamed the
grounds after Scaife's mother, Sarah, bought them following a famed Antarctic expedition by Richard Byrd.
H. Yale Gutnick, Scaife's longtime friend and attorney, introduced the 42nd president, saying Scaife asked him before his death to invite Clinton to
the memorial to make it a special day. Gutnick is chairman of the Trib Total Media board of directors.
A 50-room mansion built by Scaife's parents once stood on the estate. After they died, Scaife built his own estate, Vallamont, on a nearby
mountain in 1 961 . He tore down the stone mansion at Penguin Court, but preserved a portion of the broad stone foundation that extends from the
hillside and supports a wide, flat lawn, as well as the property's cobblestone driveway, ornate stone benches and 120-foot-long greenhouse. A
passionate horticulturalist who kept fresh flowers throughout his homes, he built a conservatory near where the house once stood.
Scaife willed the property and $1 5 million for its maintenance to the Philadelphia-area Brandywine Conservancy, on whose board of trustees he
served.
Clinton said he was “moved” by a series of columns Scaife wrote in the Trib, first announcing his terminal cancer and then explaining the passions
of his life, newspapers chief among them.
“I wish he'd have been able to write more,” Clinton said. “I was really moved by what he said about all of you and journalism as a profession and
making sure that his papers were in a position to be there for our children and our grandchildren.”
Politico: “Bill Clinton eulogizes Richard Mellon Scaife: Nemesis, then friend”
By Kenneth P. Vogel
August 2, 2014, 10:09 p.m. EDT
Bill Clinton on Saturday fondly memorialized one of the key financiers of what Hillary Clinton years ago deemed the “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
Speaking at a private memorial service in southwestern Pennsylvania for Richard Mellon Scaife, who died last month, Clinton recalled how, after
his presidency, he built a “counterintuitive friendship” with the conservative billionaire, according to an account of the speech in one of the
newspapers Scaife owned.
“He fought as hard as he could for what he believed, but he never thought he had to be blind or deaf to other views, the Pittsburgh Tribune-
Review quotes Clinton saying of its former publisher. A spokesman for Clinton declined to comment.

Scaife, who inherited a fortune from the Mellon banking and oil empire, steered millions of dollars to groups that savagely attacked the Clintons
throughout the 1 990s. Scaife backed media outlets and nonprofits that pushed scandal after scandal that buffeted the Clinton administration —
from the Whitewater real estate controversy to the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky sex scandals to raising doubts about the deaths of Clinton
aides Vince Foster and Ron Brown.
Scaife confidant Christopher Ruddy, who rose to prominence on the Clinton scandal beat at the Tribune-Review, arranged Clinton’s appearance at
Saturday’s memorial. Afterward, he acknowledged his former boss “was the bete noire of the Clinton administration during those years, sort of like
what the Kochs are to the Obama administration today.”
But Scaife became enamored with Clinton’s post-presidential philanthropic work on AIDS in Africa and other issues, and a thaw began, said
Ruddy, now CEO of the conservative Scaife-backed media outlet Newsmax.
Ruddy and the late former New York City Mayor Ed Koch helped broker a July 2007 meeting with Scaife and the former president in the Clinton
Foundation’s Harlem office, and Scaife donated more than $1 00,000 to the foundation. Still, Scaife raised eyebrows by praising Hillary Clinton
during her 2008 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his Tribune-Review later endorsed her over Barack Obama ahead of the
Pennsylvania primary.
In introducing Clinton on Saturday, the chairman of Scaife’s media company, H. Yale Gutnick, a longtime Scaife friend, said the former president and
Scaife “shared a mutual love of America,” according to Ruddy, who said Clinton talked about how Thomas Jefferson and John Adams initially
clashed before finding common cause and becoming allies and friends.
And the Tribune-Review quoted Clinton saying, “Our differences are important. Our political differences, our philosophical differences, our religious
differences, our racial and ethnic differences, they’re important. They help us to define who we are. . . . But they don’t have to keep us at arm’s
length from others.”
The ex-president’s ability to find common cause with former adversaries is a model that other political figures in an increasingly polarized
Washington would be wise to emulate, Ruddy said.
“Think about the outrageous things that were said about him, including by me, and he was able to overcome that and reach out to his critics and his
adversaries and make them his friends and work together on the things we agree with,” Ruddy said. “It’s on the level of Nelson Mandela — that
type of higher thinking and ability to forgive and forget, and it’s an example of how people who have partisan and ideological differences can work
together for the common good.”
At Saturday’s memorial, which was held at the Ligonier, Pennsylvania, estate where Scaife grew up and which was attended by more than 100
employees of his media outlets, Clinton was presented with a photo of Hillary Clinton meeting with Scaife before the 2008 Ftennsylvania primary.
And Ruddy predicted that her husband’s willingness to reach across the aisle will cause some major Republican donors who fought the Clinton
administration alongside Scaife to be less hostile if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016.
“There is a realization among high-level donors and sophisticated politicos on the Republican side that Hillary Clinton is a centrist Democrat who is
pro-American business and is very strong on national security,” he said. “There is a sense that she and her husband share a similar worldview.”

Sen. Marco Rubio said on Sunday that his recent criticisms of Hillary Clinton as a “20th-century candidate” weren’t a veiled reference to the 23
year age difference between the two potential White House contenders.
“You can be 40 years old and be a 20th-century candidate,” said the 43-year-old Florida Republican, a possible member of the 2016 GOP
presidential field, on Fox News on Sunday.
Sen. Rubio said Ms. Clinton, 66, was incapable of addressing the modern and rapidly changing challenges facing America.
“We are going through the equivalent of an industrial revolution every five years and I don’t think she or her party, and quite frankly, even some
people in my party, have answers to that,” he said.
Sen. Rubio made the 20th-century remarks in a recent interview with National Public Radio.
CBS News: “Sen. Rand Paul: Hillary Clinton not ‘fit to lead the country’”
By Jake Miller
August 2, 2014, 2:25 p.m. EDT
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Hillary Clinton is not "fit to lead the country" Friday, mocking the former secretary of state's comments about her wealth
and condemning her response to the September 2012 attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi.
Paul's scathing words could provide an early look at the arguments he will deploy against Clinton if they both decide to run for president. They
came during a speech in Kentucky before a crowd of several hundred GOP activists.
Paul opened his speech by joking that he was losing sleep over Clinton's money problems, according to National Journal.
During her recent book tour, Clinton drew flack for claiming at one point that she and former Resident Bill Clinton were "dead broke" when they left
the White House in 2001 . Although they were deeply in debt when Mr. Clinton's presidency ended, they would go on to earn millions on the
speaking circuit.
Paul asked his audience to observe a "moment of silence" for Clinton's finances.
"Somebody must have been praying for her," he said, "because she's now worth 100, 200 million. I tell you, it was really tough giving those
speeches."
But at least she didn't suffer alone, Paul joked: "She had her limo driver with her for the last 1 7 years to commiserate."
"I certainly wish she becomes preoccupied with something else," he added, "because I don't think she's fit to lead the country."

Paul also ripped Clinton's response to the attack in Benghazi, which killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. Fhul
faulted Clinton for neglecting to read the memos requesting additional security for the Benghazi facility during her time as secretary of state.
She treated Benghazi "as if it were Paris," Paul said. "Benghazi's not Fhris. Benghazi is a lot like Baghdad ... if you don't read the cables from one
of the most dangerous spots on earth, frankly, you preclude yourself from ever being our commander in chief."
The speech fired up GOP troops in Kentucky, but it was only a prelude to Paul's swing through Iowa next week. Starting Monday, Paul will visit at
least eight different communities representing each of the state's major media markets, according to the Des Moines Register.
Iowa, which holds the leadoff caucuses in the presidential nominating process, is a must-visit state for anyone mulling a presidential bid. The state
has already seen a flurry of visits from potential 201 6 contenders this year.
In addition to Paul, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is in Iowa this weekend, and he's scheduled to attend an event sponsored by notable Iowa Republican
Bruce Rastetter, the Register reports.
Cruz, whose high-profile fights with Democrats and his own GOP leaders have endeared him to grassroots conservatives, has emerged as a
favorite among the activists who traditionally power Iowa's Republican caucuses.
"Whenever we need a voice in Washington, he seems to be the most eager to stand up for we out here in the grassroots," Steve Deace, a
conservative radio host based out of Iowa, told The Hill newspaper. "The more people disdain him in D.C., the more they're going to improve his
chances in 2016."
Paul and Cruz are also scheduled to attend the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, later this month, where they'll be joined by several other
potential presidential contenders, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., and Govs. Rick Perry, R-Texas, and Bobby
Jindal, R-La.
Salon: “Is Hillary Clinton the true heir of Ronald Reagan?”
By Andrew O’Hehir
August 2, 2014, 1:00 p.m. EDT
[Subtitle:] Not since 1 980 has a candidate seemed so unstoppable - and Hillary resembles the Gipper in other ways too
No doubt it’s the height of folly to forecast the results of a presidential election that’s still more than two years away. But most observers of any
political orientation, regarding the landscape right now, would conclude that it’s more likely than not that America’s first black president will be
directly followed by our first female president. Are you celebrating yet?
Of course we don’t know for sure whether Hillary Clinton is running in 2016, but at this point she’s just toying with us, like a cat with a badly injured
mouse. She stands in a virtually unprecedented position of dominance, relative to her own party and the electorate as a whole. While the
Democratic left harbors impotent fantasies of defeating her (Bernie Sanders LOL!) and the Republican right prepares for a predictable series of
apoplectic seizures about how she’s a lesbian murderess who personally shot up the Benghazi consulate, the public seems generally OK with
Clinton’s impending coronation. As numerous commentators have observed, her principal opponent is probably not Jeb Bush or Rand Paul but
herself, or at least the possibility that we’ll all feel sick of her before she gets elected. It’s a strange situation, and not a healthy one.
Let’s take a second to recognize that I’m a white dude delivering a dismissive take on events of undoubted historical and symbolic significance that
were, or will be, immensely meaningful for many people. But after the disheartening first three-quarters of the Obama era, it’s difficult to avoid the

Page 485
conclusion that symbolic meaning is the last layer of meaning left in our quadrennial electoral circus. Maybe it’s not Hillary Clinton’s fault that her
likely ascension feels like the event that will mark the final Dracula-suckage of lifeblood from American electoral politics, just as it’s not entirely
Barack Obama’s fault that his “transformational presidency” blundered into a stagnant swamp infested with whining Republican mosquitoes and
never got out again. They are just two people, after all! Two imperfect people with the best intentions, supposedly trying to do their best in a
screwed-up situation.
Except that I don’t really buy that argument. Obama and Clinton and everybody else in the partisan duopoly are simultaneously the casualties,
beneficiaries and perpetrators of a broken system, in which Democrats and Republicans draw their voters from opposing social castes (not
classes) but actually represent the interests of rival cliques within a tiny moneyed elite. The onetime Seven Sisters student radical “had to” evolve
into a mouthpiece for Wall Street and the entrenched foreign-policy establishment, just as the onetime Chicago community activist “had to” leave the
financial sector in the hands of exactly the same criminals who wrecked it and renege on a whole range of hopey-changey campaign promises.
I’m well aware of the spin their defenders will put on that stuff - politics is a dirty business and we ail need to grow up and anyway SCOTUS! -
and we’re not going to settle that debate today, or at any other time.
As you will no doubt recall, people got immensely excited on both sides of the heated Obama-Clinton primary battle in 2008, hurling all kinds of
invective about racism and sexism at each other, predicting catastrophic defeat for the other candidate and promising to rip the fragile Democratic
coalition apart. (Remember the PUMA demographic, angry Clinton supporters who threatened to bolt for the McCain-Palin ticket out of spite? Ah,
memory!) Whatever that was really about - and my former Salon colleague Rebecca Traister has explored it in depth - it had very little to do with
those two candidates, except in their roles as symbols or signifiers.
All that fevered discussion about who rigged the Nevada caucus and who made the most obnoxious comments on TV feels like a lifetime ago, the
product of an innocent age when politics seemed charged with possibility and hope. But the thing is, it wasn’t all that long ago and we weren’t
innocent. We should have known better and basically did. It’s just that presidential elections exert a seductive allure that keeps suckering us back
into the tent, like a bunch of Ohio farm boys at a 1 9th-century carnival, hoping against hope that this time the magic will turn out to be real. It’s a lot
easier to write snarky, dispassionate analysis now than it will be in a year or so, when progressives are trying to gin up excitement for a
nonexistent Bizabeth Warren campaign or we all have to have a hysterical meltdown about Ted Cruz’s “surprising” poll numbers from a fondue
dinner held in an Iowa cornfield.
There’s no precise historical parallel, at least in the contemporary party-politics era, for the commanding position Hillary Clinton appears to hold
roughly 1 6 months out from the first caucuses and primaries. It’s not that there haven’t been heavy favorites or heirs apparent in previous elections
- that’s a feature of the system. But it seems not just possible but probable that Clinton will face no serious or significant opposition within her own
party, which as far as I can tell is a brand new situation for a non-incumbent candidate. Warren is nowhere near foolish enough to torch her
political future on a futile campaign of resistance. While Joe Biden will almost certainly run if Clinton doesn’t, he’s not enough of a masochist to take
her on directly and endure yet another public humiliation. If Sanders runs (and he’d have to change his political registration, for one thing) he’ll make
the Dennis Kucinich campaigns of 2004 and 2008 look like devastating political whirlwinds.
If there’s a historical precedent to Hillary-zilla it is to be found in the Republican Party, where big-money donors and a Washington-based
establishment have long done their best to control the presidential nomination process and quell populist uprisings. Specifically, it’s Ronald Reagan
in 1980. Most Republicans assumed going into that campaign that Reagan - who had been waiting around as the conservative savior since nearly
wresting the nomination from Gerald Ford in 1 976 - would sweep to victory in the primaries and then drive cardigan-clad malaise-monger Jimmy
Carter from the White House and restore America to its true greatness. They were ultimately correct about all that (except for the “true
greatness”), but Reagan actually faced brief but spirited opposition from George H.W. Bush, who played the role of responsible centrist in that
campaign and memorably denounced Reagan’s “voodoo economics.” Bush emulated the Carter-McGovern strategy of slogging through all the
meaningless straw polls and small-town dinners in the fall of 1 979 while Reagan stayed home in California, and after winning the Iowa caucus
Bush momentarily looked like the front-runner. Reagan ultimately swamped him in the South, of course, but Bush won six primaries and more than 3
million votes, essentially forcing himself onto the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee. Who’s going to put up that level of resistance to Hillary
Clinton?
I guess the 1 988 Republican campaign also looks similar, but only at first glance and only in the rear-view mirror: After two terms as Reagan’s vice
president, Bush coasted to the nomination just as everybody expected. (And then to victory over Michael Dukakis, one of the more bathetic also-
rans of recent political history.) But those who remember that era in Republican politics can testify that the intra-party divisions were highly
acrimonious. Sen. Bob Dole won the Iowa caucus and several Midwestern primaries, and deserves a special footnote in American history for
decrying the lies and dirty tricks of Lee Atwater, Bush’s infamous campaign strategist. Televangelist Pat Robertson terrified the world that year by
packing a few caucuses with his followers (he got 82 percent of the vote in Hawaii!), thereby compelling all future Republican candidates to pay
ritual obeisance to the Christian right.
There is certainly a cadre of disgruntled liberal Democrats who aren’t thrilled about the incoming tsunami of the Clinton campaign, and in the age of
social media they’ll get to vent their spleen repeatedly in the months ahead by promising to draft Warren or vote Green or get so stoned that Rand
Paul appears palatable. But it’s not at all clear that they represent a significant voting bloc, or that any plausible candidate wants to be their
standard-bearer. This tells us a number of things about the contemporary Democratic Party and about politics in general, none of them terribly
encouraging.

Among the obvious notes here is the fact that electoral politics has increasingly become an oligarchic or dynastic enterprise, open only to the
immensely wealthy and/or the immensely well connected. If we get a Clinton facing a Bush in the 2016 general election - which is not just plausible
but reasonably likely - that would mean that 50 percent of the major-party presidential nominees over the last 28 years and eight electoral cycles
have had one or the other of those surnames. If politics is a blood sport for the new aristocracy — an American cognate to fox hunting, with you
and me as the fox - that does more than symbolize our widening social inequality. It embodies it, and enacts it. You can’t separate the fact that only
rich people can run for president from the fact that both parties are fueled by rich people’s money, or from the fact that beneath all their partisan
bickering Democrats and Republicans have vigorously collaborated for more than 20 years on a set of deregulatory, low-tax and cheap-credit
economic policies that have made rich people a whole lot richer. It’s not like those are unrelated coincidences.
I’m not saying there are no differences between the two parties, or that given the binary choice with a gun to my head, I might not prefer Hillary
Clinton as president to whomever the Republicans nominate. (This is a topic for another time, but Democrats clearly have the most to fear from
Rand Paul, who represents a potentially significant reboot of the Republican brand.) Generally speaking, the Democratic Party stands for what
might be termed the metropolitan caste in American life, a diverse group of people who live in or near major cities and tend to support a range of
rights-based issues around race, gender, sexuality and related factors. You can’t say the party represents that caste with much force or courage,
and it does so more by following than by leading. Democrats took years to commit fully to a pro-choice position, were late to the party on marriage
equality, and are still way behind their metropolitan base on marijuana. Nonetheless that’s a big contrast to the Republicans, who at least for
marketing purposes view the metropolitan caste as a bunch of socialistic tree-huggers who will take away your guns and your F-1 50 and compel
you to drive a Prius to your gay marriage.
But what Hillary Clinton and Obama and most other prominent Democrats of the 21 st century definitely don’t represent is any form of progressive
or class-based economic philosophy. Elizabeth Warren’s election to the Senate caused such a stir because she appears to be a mild exception to
this rule. As former Bill Clinton aide Bill Curry wrote recently in Salon, the deregulation of the telecommunications and financial services industries
under his onetime boss in the ’90s was a more far-reaching and corporate-friendly policy shift than anything in Ronald Reagan’s wildest trickle-
down dreams. That marked the moment, Curry says, when “issues of economic and political power [grew] invisible to Democrats.” When Ralph
Nader ran for president in 2000 on precisely those issues, he was viewed as a traitor who cost Al Gore the White House. But if the Democrats
had nominated a pro-lifer and Gloria Steinem had run as an independent, it might well have split the party in half.
All of which brings me back to the final point of similarity between Hillary Clinton and Reagan, the man who dominated one election cycle from end
to end and the woman who hopes to repeat that feat. They could hardly be more different as political personalities and (one imagines) as human
beings, and their electoral appeal is directed at totally divergent audiences. But both function in the political marketplace first and foremost as
powerful symbols: Reagan was a symbol of American manhood and the mythical American past, while Clinton stands (I guess) for the upward
progress of American women and a more egalitarian future. (It’s not entirely accidental that both have provoked exaggerated hatred among their
opponents.)
I write about the movies, and would be the last person on Earth to tell you that symbols don’t matter. But they often do not mean what they seem to
mean, and neither Clinton nor Reagan actually represents what they seem to represent. Reagan did little or nothing for the working-class white
Americans who elected him, and if Clinton reaches the White House she will not be there to serve metropolitan women. Beneath the scrim of
symbolic meanings, which are meant to reassure and distract and most importantly to win elections, the same force works through both of them:
the force of money and those who wield it.
The Daily Beast: “For 2016. Take Martin O’Malley Seriously”
By Jonathan Miller
August 3, 2014
[Subtitle:] The Maryland governor is a problem-solver and a social-justice Catholic who can transcend the left-right divide. Keep an eye on him.
As Martin O’Malley dips his ankles into the deep end of national politics - most recently with his full-throated plea earlier this month against the
deportation of immigrant children — I recalled the first time I saw him on a national stage.
I had a pretty good view: I was standing right next to him.

Page 487
The two of us were being paraded as rising stars by the Democratic Leadership Council at the 2000 Democratic National Convention - and even
featured together on the cover of The New Democrat magazine.
Alas . . . may the DLC rest in peace. (So too with my own political career.) But give the late Third Way vanguard some crystal ball credit: O’Malley
could be the next Resident of the United States.
In his potential White House run, however, O’Malley won’t be pursuing the DLC’s lurch-to-the-center path. Nor will he be following the liberal
orthodoxy. Indeed, it’s the Maryland Governor’s uniquely post-Clinton, post-Obama positioning that makes him this handicappefs pick to emerge as
the dark horse with the most potent stretch kick in the 2016 presidential derby.
The most compelling reason? As O’Malley demonstrated in the immigration debate, he’s the rare progressive to frame his strongly felt policy
positions in the language of faith. It’s the passionate application of universal moral values by this devout Catholic that has the potential to upend the
usual partisan and ideological categories that are choking today’s body politic.
I sat down with O’Malley on July 1 1 , a few hours after he stole the platform at the National Governors’ Association annual conference in Nashville
and broke with the Resident by forcefully and emotionally calling for a more compassionate policy on the treatment of Central American children
who’ve recently come to the United States illegally: “It is contrary to everything we stand for to try to summarily send children back to death.”
With the potential primary still flooded with fluid contingencies, O’Malley demurs about the prospects of challenging Hillary Clinton. "I haven't even
decided if I'm running yet, so I'm not thinking about other potential candidates,” he told me. “I'm focused on governing Maryland, helping Democrats
win in 2014, and preparing responsibly so that I can make a decision when the time is right."
O’Malley’s record as governor of Maryland, and before that mayor of Baltimore, provides plenty of manna to nourish starving progressives. Long
before his immigration comments, the Governor punched through a succession of liberal hot-buttons: Marriage equality? Check. Gun control?
Check. Death penalty repeal? Check. Decriminalizing pot and legalizing medical marijuana? Check and check. Some might argue that he’s even been
too liberal for solid blue Maryland. In fact, some do, and vociferously: Discontented residents of four western counties have been pushing an
initiative for months to secede from the rest of the state.
O’Malley has ticked off plenty of liberals as well. Inheriting a $1 .7 billion structural deficit and then plunging into the headwinds of the Great
Recession, the Governor pushed through more than $9.5 billion in budget cuts, requiring sizable state employee layoffs, and the downsizing of
critical health and transportation programs. And the state’s largest public employee unions expressed considerable displeasure with O’Malley’s
signature pension reform efforts
Overall, however, O’Malley can point to a fiscal track record that most progressives would embrace: investing record sums in education to
produce the nation’s top ranked public schools five years in a row and lowest college tuition hikes since 2007; expanding the earned income tax
credit and increasing the minimum wage to $1 0.1 0 an hour; and recovering all of the jobs lost in the national recession.
Of course, you can’t win enough electoral votes in our purple nation by tacking completely left — especially in 2016, when Obama fatigue likely will
be weighing on the nation.
But O’Malley understands that the left/right/center paradigm isn’t important to the Americans who actually determine our national elections in today’s
deeply polarized polity. Swing voters and independents aren’t clamoring for moderation or centrism: They are looking for leaders who will put aside
party and ideology on occasion and actually get stuff done.
Over the past few years, the national bi-partisan grassroots organization No Labels (I’m a co-founder) has been polling and focus-grouping these
voters. Our surveys have consistently shown that a majority of Americans are looking not at party or ideology; but rather for problem-solving. And
O’Malley can make a plausible case that he’s been a problem-solver above all.
Time’s best mayor of 2005 and Governing’s public official of 2009 has defined his brand as a stickler for non-partisan, data-driven management
and administrative competence. In his coming out speech in Iowa - keynoting this June’s state Democratic convention — O’Malley devoted several
minutes to discussing the technocratic approach he used to fight crime: “When I was elected mayor in 1 999 . . . Baltimore had become the most
violent, most addicted, most abandoned city in America ... So we set out to make our city work again. We saw trash in our streets and alleys, so
10/18/2016

Page 488
we picked it up every day. We saw open air drug markets, and we began to relentlessly close them down . . . Over the next 1 0 years, Baltimore
went on to achieve the biggest reduction in part 1 crime of any major city in America.”
He has used the same non-ideological approach on issues ranging from biotechnology and aerospace to roads, bridges, transit projects, new
schools, and rural broadband connectivity.
But the most interesting thing about O’Malley is his exploration of an intriguing, heart-centered strategy that could potentially shake up our national
political paradigm: using the language of faith and universal moral values to ground public policy. Republicans have owned the faith space since
the Reagan era. Presidential candidate Barack Obama tried valiantly to take it back in 2008, but after the embarrassment of Reverend Jeremiah
Wright and the right wing’s maniacal campaign to brand him a Muslim, Obama’s rhetorical strategy was mostly abandoned.
O’Malley appears to be reaching to pick up the scepter. The regular weekday Mass attendee — who brings to mind the beer-drinking, Irish Catholic
everyman rather than the pious moral scold — described his religious beliefs to me as the underpinning of his public vocation. He referred me to a
speech he delivered to his high school alma mater way back in 2002 in which he connected his Catholic education with his passion for problem
solving:
“I learned ... to search for Christ in the faces of others including, and especially, the faces of the poor, the faces of the homeless men who lined
up for a meal every morning alongside the foundations of this church ... I learned ... to recognize and confront the enemy within - the original sin
of our own culture and environment that would have us think less of people who - because of race, or class, or place - are not like us . . . And I
learned that it is not enough to have faith, you must also have the courage to risk action on that faith, to risk failure upon that faith: the faith that one
person can make a difference and that each of us must try.”
It’s no wonder, then, that he grounded his angry denunciation of Obama’s immigration policy in the faith tradition: “Through all of the great world
religions, we are told that hospitality to strangers is an essential human dignity. ... It is a belief that unites all of us.”
Note that he didn’t mention his Christianity, nor even the slightly more politically correct construct of “Judeo-Christian values.” Instead, he reached
to a broader audience, with the understanding that all religious and spiritual traditions in world history share at their core the same universal moral
values, of welcoming the stranger and loving one’s neighbor — of compassion and community. This appeal to unity — to a common higher ground
— can potentially disrupt the GOP’s monopoly on faith, without frightening religious minorities, or even agnostics, from the Democratic fold.
Most significantly, by embracing shared moral values, O’Malley might even find the path to counter today’s dominant politics of self-interest that
underlies both Tea Party libertarianism and the more cynical, transactional-based politics that serves as Washington’s greatest bi-partisan
consensus.
Perhaps that’s enough dreaming. Back here in the real world of politics, O’Malley has quite an arduous journey ahead of him, especially if Clinton
decides to run. He can expect bruising personal and professional scrutiny from a cruel and punishing new media, which may constrain his ability
to define himself and articulate the vision. Most pertinently, recent critical focus on a Baltimore jail scandal and Obamacare’s rocky roll out in
Maryland could directly undermine both his problem-solver and moral paladin narratives.
But at least from my vantage point, Martin O’Malley could be the right messenger with the right message. And the rising star still standing just might
be in the best position to offer some elixir to our deeply ailing political system.
Washington Examiner: “Why some donors are giving to dark horse Martin O'Malley”
By Rebecca Berg

As it turns out, not everyone is ready for Hillary.
Page 489
Though former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic frontrunner, leads by as much as 50 percent in some polls, there is
some evidence that some former supporters are looking with interest at Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
As many Democrats might have expected, O’Malley has attracted respectable support from within Maryland, as well as from some prominent
former Obama supporters, such as the bundler Stewart Bainum.
But, more surprisingly, O’Malley’s early base of support also overlaps somewhat with Clinton’s network, even as she appears as poised as ever to
run for president and swamp him in the race, at least at the outset.
There are several reasons why potential donors or aides might eschew supporting Clinton for O’Malley, at least for now.
On the staffing side, there is a sense among some young, up-and-coming Democratic operatives that the waiting list for a potential Clinton
presidential campaign is already closed — but not so with a fresh candidate like O’Malley, whose campaign could be a prime launching pad for
new political talent.
One senior position on O’Malley’s political team has already been scooped up by a Clinton alum. Adam Goers, who served as Clinton’s midwest
finance director during her bid for president, is the executive director at O’Malley’s federal political action committee, O’ Say Can You See PAC,
known colloquially as “O’PAC.”
A similar story is being told in donations to the FAC, which brought in nearly $800,000 during the most recent fundraising quarter. Already, two
former Clinton bundlers — so-called “Hillraisers” from the 2008 campaign — have stepped up to contribute thousands of dollars to O’Malley: Lainy
Lebow-Sachs of Maryland and C. Thomas McMillen of Washington.
The donations don’t necessarily reflect dissatisfaction with Clinton.
Paul DiNino served as the Democratic National Committee’s national finance director under President Clinton, and he supported Hillary Clinton in
2008 — but he’s steering potential donors to O’Malley, making the case that it is a wise investment. Because O’Malley does not possess a vast
donor network on par with Clinton’s, each big-money donor could wield that much more influence within O’Malley’s campaign, should it take flight.
DiNino, who lives in Maryland but has deep ties to Iowa politics, has also stressed O’Malley’s role as a party surrogate during the 2014 midterm
elections. The Maryland governor has, unlike Clinton, been crisscrossing the country to campaign for Democrats — in early presidential primary
states, of course, but in others as well.
“Right now, it's Martin O’Malley, and it's only Martin O’Malley,” DiNino said. “He’s filling a giant void for Democrats.”
A spokesperson for the pro-Clinton group Ready For Hillary told the Washington Examiner earlier this year that the group would “look to amplify the
efforts that Hillary engages in for the midterms.” But those efforts, if they develop, likely won’t come to fruition until late in the fall.
In the meantime, O’Malley is one of the few Democrats making all the overtures characteristic of a would-be presidential candidate, including
frequent, publicized trips to early primary states.
He has traveled on multiple occasions to Iowa, including last week, when O’Malley, the former chair of the Democratic Governors Association,
campaigned with the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, Jack Hatch.
O’Malley has also traveled twice to New Hampshire to raise money for Gov. Maggie Hassan and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, campaigned in South
Carolina in May for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Vincent Sheheen, and even made a trip in May to Nevada, another early primary state.

O’Malley has not yet decided, officially and publicly, to run for president, although he has been candid about seriously considering that avenue.
There is also a sense, however, fortified by hints from O’Malley’s allies, that he might not follow through with a campaign should Clinton run for
president.
O’Malley, after all, does not have an adversarial history personally or on policy with the Clintons. In fact, he was a bundler for Clinton during her
2008 campaign. O’Malley, 51 , is also young enough to wait to run for president later should he decide the opportunity is not ripe this time.
“He's not going anywhere,” DiNino said. “He has a long political career ahead of him.”
And at least as long as Clinton publicly hems and haws about whether she will run for president, O’Malley will welcome some of her allies into his
fold in support of that career, wherever it might lead.

My apologies, but I had one other very quick question for the paper before I turn it in. Do you have a
preference for footnotes or endnotes? The instructions got me a bit off, as they say "Every student is required
to write a paper of at least 20 double-spaced pages, excluding footnotes." I ask because if the paper has
footnotes as opposed to endnotes, it will be more difficult to tell if the text itself is at least 20 pages.

Subject: [big campaign] New Huff Post from Creamer - Obama's Secret Weapon: OFA
Obama ’s Secret Weapon: OFA
In a season when the political punditry stampeded its way into prognostications of Democratic political disaster this fall, it
is well to remember that Democrats — and the Obama political operation - have a weapon, the importance of which
Washington types don't fully understand: Organizing for America (OFA).
There is no question that the mid-term elections are fraught with political danger. For Democrats to hold our own this
fall will require that we do six things:
Demonstrate to voters that we are fighting tooth and nail for the fundamental change that they supported in 2008 —
and still support today;
Deliver real economic recovery for average Americans that average people can begin to see for themselves by next
fall;
Pass a legislative agenda that lays the foundation for long-term, widely-shared economic growth - health care reform,
re-regulation of Wall Street, creation of clean energy jobs, and comprehensive immigration reform;
Frame the battle in personal, populist terms that puts the blame for our economic crisis where it belongs - on the Wall
Street bankers whose reckless greed cost millions of Americans their well-being;
Continue to take the offensive at framing the entire debate in terms of our progressive values;
Engage everyday Americans directly in the many battles — including the November elections — that will come at us
rapid-fire for the next ten months.
OFA provides a vehicle to help accomplish each of these goals that has never existed before.
Organizing for America (OFA) - formerly Obama for America — was reorganized after the 2008 election with the object
of creating a permanent army of ordinary Americans that could create the grassroots fire necessary to pass Obama’s change
agenda. Over the first months of 2009, the organization hired staff, set up local operations, began to transform itself from a
purely electoral operation into one that could simultaneously line up Congressional votes for Obama’s initiatives - and
demonstrate to Members of Congress that it would have their backs next November.
It was built upon the premise that fundamental change is impossible without massive grassroots activity. After all, the
insurance companies, big Wall Street banks, energy industry and the Chamber of Commerce had no plans to roll over and
play deadjust because Obama had been elected with a mandate for change.
The correctness of that assumption became starkly clear in August when the right wing organized — and big business
financed - the Tea Party movement to try to put a stake in the heart of health insurance reform.
In 2005, 1 served as the National Field Director of the campaign to stop the Bush proposal to privatize Social Security.
That year we ran a massive, successful effort to kill privatization during the August recess. When Republicans returned to
Washington in September of that year, they marched into the Republican Leadership’s office and demanded that they throw
in the towel on Social Security privatization.
Exactly the same thing would have happened with health care reform in September of 2009 had OFA had not stepped up
to coordinate a counter-offensive. For those of us working to pass health insurance reform it was like the cavalry
arriving over the hill. OFA chaired a task force of progressive organizations - and mobilized thousands of health care
reform supporters to attend town meetings across the country. That effort turned the tide in the last weeks of August and
saved health insurance reform.

AFSCME, SEIU, the AFL-CIO, MoveOn, Americans United for Change, Families USA, AARP, NEA and especially
Flealth Care for America Now (HCAN) — that spearheaded the fight — have all played critical roles in this battle. None of
them would dispute the decisive role played by OFA.
Together these organizations generated millions of contacts with Congress supporting health insurance reform. But no
one has produced more than OFA, which by itself has generated over a million calls to Congress.
Last year, OFA organized their members to take over 2.5 million individual actions - calls, door knocks, emails, faxes,
and letters to the editor. They have held over 25,000 events across the country on health care reform just since last June.
In one day in August, 65,000 OFA members descended upon the offices of Members of Congress in support of health
care reform.
You can say without question, that if OFA did not exist, that the House and Senate would not be negotiating the final
terms of health insurance reform - that there would have been no health care reform at all.
There are many Progressives - like me - who believe strongly that to fulfill the promise of health insurance reform, we
must soon have a strong public option. I believe that before many of the provisions of the current bill go into effect, that we
will have a public option. But that will happen because we are organized to defeat the insurance industry on the ground.
To do it, we can’t just complain that it’s not as easy to get it done as we had hoped. We have to continue the kind of
organizing that OFA has been doing for the last three years - involving millions of everyday people. In other words we have
to live by the slogan: “don’t whine, organize.”
Let’s be clear. If some of the dire pundit prognostications come true, Progressives won’t have any hope at all
of passing our agenda beginning in 2011. If we lose vast numbers of seats in Congress, this extraordinary
opportunity for serious progressive change will be brought to a screeching halt.
To avoid that fate, we have to deliver economic and legislative success this year. We have to pass a health care bill
that provides affordable health insurance to most Americans, eliminates pre-existing conditions, reins in the power of the
insurance industry and doesn’t tax average workers’ benefits. We have to re-regulate the Big Wall Street Banks. We have to
pass comprehensive immigration reform and take major steps on the road toward creating clean energy jobs.
Most importantly, we have to deliver jobs for everyday Americans - beginning this year.
And in the process we have to keep the base of our party energized. In 1994, the Republicans took over
Congress mostly because Democrats did not go to the polls. That cannot be allowed to happen again.
To all of these tasks, the organized energy of OFA’s 13 million members is indispensable - just as it was to the
campaign that elected Barack Obama president in the first place. It is indispensable online, in the precincts, in
town meetings and going door to door.
In the fall of 2007 there was deep pundit skepticism that the Obama campaign’s enormous investment in intensive, no
stone unturned, grassroots organizing had any chance at all of vaulting the underdog Obama to victory in the Iowa caucuses.
The campaign provided the infrastructure and culture that mobilized the activity of thousands of Labor and party activists,
and thousands more average individual voters. Of course by Election Day in 2008, no one any longer doubted the power of
grassroots political organizing. But in Washington, it’s easy to forget.
The thing that made the Obama field operation unique was its culture. Two aspects were particularly critical:
* It taught everyone in the organization how to think like an organizer — how to engage people based on their own self-
interests and engage those interests to further the goals of the campaign. It believed in fully engaging volunteers - not simply
using them to accomplish a task. It was committed to empowering everyone in the organization. OFA understood the
central secret of good organizing: that meaning is the greatest motivator - that you get self-motivation through
inspiration. OFA understood that for someone to feel meaningful - to feel inspired - two things were required. First they
had to feel that they were part of something that was very important and larger than themselves. But second, they had to
believe that they could personally play a significant role in achieving the goal. That understanding of what motivates people
has permeated the organization to this day.
* To its core, the Obama field operation was committed to excellence in execution - to the proposition that no
stone could ever be left unturned - that no task was ever too small to be done right. That’s why it won caucuses in tiny

states. That’s why it never left votes on the table.
In my 40 years of work doing grassroots organizing for issue and electoral campaigns I have never seen a better field
operation that the one created by OFA. It was, without doubt, the best field program in American political history.
Many of the same organizers who build OFA during the campaign have created the new OFA. They have crafted a
growing infrastructure that will allow millions of everyday people to team up with MoveOn members, rank and file union
activists, and leaders from the faith, minority and women’s communities to take on the vested interests in every comer of
America. Just as it did in the Iowa caucuses, that infrastructure could well provide the foundation for surprising victories —
both in Congress and the November elections — that the Washington pundits think are impossible. After all, surprising the
pundits is what OFA does best.

Sir-
The first story on our new poll is out, from Military Times. I’m pasting it below. As you’ll see, it strongly backs up
what Secretary Clinton will propose, and say, today. I’m also attaching a polling memo that delves into the
findings a bit more.
We have gotten intel that Neil Cavuto plans to ask a veterans question of the GOP candidates tonight. As you
can guess, the candidates are very likely to attack the Secretary in their answers.
Your press team, therefore, may find it useful to get this to reporters, as independent, scientific evidence that
veterans are closer to the Secretary, than Republicans, on these issues.
Now that the poll is public I have attached the polling memo below.
Thanks,
Jon

Poll: Veterans oppose plans to 'privatize' VA
Veterans like choice.
But they don't like privatization.
That’s the bottom line from a new poll out Tuesday from the Vet Voice Foundation, designed to counter recent proposals
that left-leaning advocates say would move Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals to an outsourced, privatization
model.
The poll of 800 veterans, conducted jointly by a Republican-backed firm and a Democratic-backed one, found that almost
two-thirds of survey respondents oppose plans to replace VA health care with a voucher system, an idea backed by
some Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates.
“Veterans overwhelmingly feel that health care was a promise made for their service and oppose vouchers that may not
cover all costs,” group officials said in their report. “Veterans worry that private insurance companies care too much
about profit and would make decisions for the care of veterans based on money.”
The results push back poll numbers released by Concerned Veterans for America last month that found nearly 90
percent of veterans surveyed believe officials need to increase health care choices for VA patients, including expanded
access to private care physicians.
They also point to a larger fight between Republicans and Democrats over VA reform efforts, and how each side is
labeling moves to expand health care offerings for veterans in the private sector, but still at government expense.
“This poll confirms what nearly every veterans service organization has always said — privatization and voucherization of
the VA is a nonstarter for veterans,” said retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, managing director of the Vet Voice
Foundation.
“There is a lot of debate about ‘choice’ in veterans care, but when presented with the details of what ‘choice’ means,
veterans reject it," Eaton said. "They overwhelmingly believe that the private system will not give them the quality of care
they and veterans like them deserve.”
The new Vet Voice poll also hints that the issue could be a factor in the 201 6 elections, with 57 percent of those surveyed
stating they would be less likely to vote for candidates who support "privatizing the VA health care system.”
Only one in four said that stance would strengthen their support for a candidate.
Major veterans advocates have long opposed proposals for privatization, but have been more cautious in their use of the
term in recent years, as lawmakers have backed initiatives to increase private care access, like the Choice Card
program.
Full details of the poll are available on the foundation's website .

Subject: Re: Petitions & Write Your Congressperson to Give Your Views re DOL Proposed ...
The Obama administration is developing labor rules that will require seniors and people with disabilities to bring strangers into their homes, force
others into institutions, and reduce the take home pay of attendants. In California, in anticipation of these Department of Labor Rules passing is
causing the state to gear up to cut back IHSS worker's hours to no more than 40 hours a week, because of the state's fiscal limitations.
Here is a sample letter from one consumer that can help you write yours. There's a link at the bottom of this that tells you how to find your
federal legislator and two petition links right below it. If you want to express yourself, feel free to copy from these letters included with the
petitions and in the statement below.
From Michael Condon — STOP THE UNINTBMDED CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOL PROPOSHD RULES
My name is Michael Condon. I’m a disabled Veteran, paralyzed from the neck down for the last 40 years. I live in San Diego, CA, in a home I
rent, and I am assisted by a caregiver paid for by In-Home Supported Services (IHSS). IHSS employs nearly 400,000 caregivers across the State.
Almost 50% of these caregivers currently work more than 40 hrs/week. In addition, 70% of the IHSS caregivers in this program care for family
members, many of whom require protective supervision (24 /7 care).
The State has neither the funds nor the inclination to pay overtime. This will put me, and hundreds of thousands like me, at risk of
institutionalization. Because our caregivers will be limited to a 40 work week, I will be forced to have multiple caregivers while there are already
not enough to meet the current need. Please do not institute the DOL regs. requiring overtime. The disabled, elderly and blind on . . .this program
would love to have their caregivers receive time and a half, but that will not happen. What will happen (unintended consequences) instead, the
caregivers hours will be cut driving many deeper into poverty. The caregiver loses, the senior/disabled loses and the Unions almost double their
membership dues.
Sincerely.
Michael Condon
This is why a 40 hour work week mandate is bad. It will be financially devastating to 46% of IHSS IP’s (1 90,000 workers)in CA alone.

| http://usaovinfo.about.eom/od/usconqress/a/lettersconaress.htm
DOL Proposes Changes to Companionship Exemption HURT people with disabilities!
The Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed changes in federal labor rules that, although well-intentioned, will have a negative impact on
people with disabilities and most seriously impact people who have the most significant disabilities who rely on Medicaid home and community
based services to be independent.
Labor advocates have urged people to support these rules which are intended to assure that attendants get paid minimum wage and are paid
time-and-a-half for overtime work. The disability community recognizes the invaluable role that attendants play in supporting the independence of
people with disabilities and has advocated for increased funding for attendant services to improve wages, however the way DOL is
implementing this rule change will have a serious negative impact on people with disabilities and promote unwanted institutionalization.
Detailed Policy Implications
Most notably, people with disabilities could face unwanted institutionalization as a result of implementing these proposed rules.
• Increasing the cost of home and community based services by requiring overtime pay, without increasing the Medicaid rates or raising the
Medicaid caps for available funding, will result in a reduction in hours of personal assistance, forcing some people with disabilities into
unwanted institutionalization.
• Requiring minimum wage payments for overnight assistance may raise the cost of serving individuals above established Medicaid caps,
resulting in people with significant disabilities either going without needed assistance or being forced into unwanted institutionalization.
• The proposed DOL change will limit the availability of family and friends as paid attendants in consumer directed personal assistance
programs. Reducing the availability of this vital component of the attendant workforce threatens the independence of Americans with
disabilities.
The DOL also significantly mischaracterizes consumer directed services. DOL describes consumer directed services “as a ‘grey market;’ that
contains an element of ‘over-the-back-fence network of women [who are] usually untrained, unscreened, and unsupervised, but more
10/18/2016

Page 505
affordable without an agency’s fee, less constrained by regulations and hired through personal recommendation.’ The term ‘grey market’ is
sometimes used to suggest that at least some of these private arrangements are designed to avoid applicable labor laws. . .”
DOL notes that “There is no consolidated source of data on state consumer-directed programs" even though there are several resources within
the disability community, and DOL fails to assess the impact that the proposed changes will have on that system for providing services and
supports to people with disabilities.
It is also likely that the proposed changes will not significantly improve the lives of attendants . Because Medicaid and Medicare rates are not
being increased to cover the additional cost associated with these changes, home care agencies will limit the hours attendants can work,
forcing attendants who currently to work for multiple agencies in order to match their current standard of living.
The necessity to balance efforts to enhance workers’ wages and benefits with the needs of people with disabilities was identified and
addressed in Guiding Principles which were developed between SEIU and disability advocates. According to those Guiding Principles, signed on
November 16, 201 1 , “As a general principle, enhancements to workers’ wages and benefits shall be paid for through increased funding.” The
DOL proposal does not do this.
ADAPT, NCIL and the Disability have proposed a compromise solution!
At this point, we have proposed a solution that allows the White House to keep its promise AND work with the disability community on the
sections of the rules that affect consumer directed services.
DOL can finalize the change in the companionship exemption that would eliminate the exemption from third-party employers. After clarifying that
this change would not affect consumer-directed fiscal intermediaries, the proposed change would cover 70 percent of attendants - including
those who are taken advantage of by the home care industry. By leaving the rest of the rules intact, DOL could start formal discussions with the
disability community about how to handle the companionship exemption in consumer directed services.
This compromise position is consistent with the Guiding Principles signed between SEIU and the disability community last Fall. Under it, the
administration covers 70% of all attendants and we get an opportunity to sit at the table! If the Obama Administration doesn't even do this, it's
clear how little the Administration regards our community.

concerning the Department of Labor proposed regulations, here is how:

REPORT: Peace of Mind - Americans Share their Medicare and Medicaid Stories.
Peace of Mind.
That’s what Medicare and Medicaid mean for nearly one in every three Americans.
Almost 50 million Americans have paid into, and are beneficiaries of Medicare, our national
health insurance program for seniors and people with disabilities. And almost 50 million
Americans - elderly, low-income adults and their children, and people with certain
disabilities - have access to Medicaid.
PwlA, /AM:
Six million Americans depend on both.
But now these programs are under siege. Some want to replace guaranteed Medicare
benefits with a voucher. Others would “block grant” Medicaid, allowing states to sharply
raise premiums and drastically slash services.
MveJtk^Vl,
mJl MeJlicAir*, SFom*.
We asked our members what Medicare and Medicaid mean to them, to their families.
Their responses revealed how deeply and keenly Americans cherish and rely on the promise our nation made when we established these lifelines
in 1 965. It is a promise that we have kept to this day. It is a promise that Americans demand we keep in the future.
After sorting through hundreds of stories, certain themes emerged.
Many people told us they are alive only because of Medicare or Medicaid. Many others discussed how these services have enhanced the quality
of their lives. Others stiil talked about how it brings them retirement security and peace of mind.
We heard from young people who do not directly receive benefits, but say they are able to save money
they would otherwise spend on aging parents. Debra in Wheeling, Illinois wrote that without Medicare,
she would have to quit her job to care for her 92-year-old mom - Social Security pays for her assisted
community living, but Medicare covers her health care costs.
Many wrote that without Medicare, they would face financial ruin. A woman noted that the entirety of
her monthly Social Security check would have to go to her health care costs - nothing left for anything
else. A number of people wrote that Medicare and Medicaid mean neighbor helping neighbor - we’re all
in this together.

These are the Medicare and Medicaid stories of ordinary Americans.
Finally, a large number of respondents expressed extreme outrage - outrage so extreme that some comments had to be edited - that a system
they paid into all of their adult lives could be cut. These people clearly felt robbed and violated. “I paid into Medicare for 40 years,” writes Jim in
Rochester, Michigan. “This is my money I am getting back. It is not charity. No one has the right to steal my money.”
These are the Medicare and Medicaid stories of ordinary Americans. They are on the front lines of the Medicare and Medicaid debates. Whatever
policies are adopted, they are the canaries in the coal mine - they will feel the impact first.
We made them a promise.
Will we keep it?

Public Campaign Praises Choice Of Gov. Napolitano For Homeland
Security Post
Washington, D.C. - Public Campaign, a leading national nonpartisan organization dedicated to passing sweeping
campaign reform laws, praised the pending nomination of Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ) to be the Secretary of Homeland
Security in President-Elect Barack Obama's administration.
Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign, said Napolitano's ascendance to a Cabinet post is a deserved
achievement for the Arizona governor. Gov. Napolitano twice ran and won gubernatorial elections while participating in
Arizona's ground-breaking Clean Elections system of full public financing.
"We congratulate Gov. Napolitano and wish her every success as she moves to the Department of Homeland
Security," Nyhart said. "In Gov. Napolitano, President-Elect Obama has chosen an executive with a record of independent,
strong judgment and leadership for a position that is vital to our nation's well-being. Having run and won public office without
relying on private donations from wealthy special interests, Gov. Napolitano, should she be nominated and confirmed, would
enter this critical position without any appearance that she's depended on wealthy donors to finance her political career. That
would be a positive development after years of crony contracts and special interest favoritism throughout the federal
government."
Napolitano first ran under Arizona's Clean Elections program in 2002. Her leadership on the program has helped
make it a mainstay of Arizona politics - Clean Elections candidates will hold 54 percent of the seats in the incoming
legislature, up from 42 percent today. Additionally, candidates that ran under the Clean Elections program will hold eight of
Arizona's 11 statewide offices in 2009.
Napolitano has spoken out in praise of the effect Clean Elections had on her own campaigns, saying "I got to spend
time with voters as opposed to dialing for dollars, or trying to sell tickets to $250-a-plate fundraisers. This was much better."
The program provides a limited amount of public financing for candidates who raise a large number of small donations and
who agree to swear off big money. Similar laws have worked well in Connecticut, Maine, North Carolina and elsewhere.
Nyhart said the Homeland Security Department would be well-served being led by an official free of entanglements
with big-money donors and powerful lobbyists.
"With the great challenges facing this nation, Americans should believe that our elected officials are working for ail of
us, not just those who can afford to write a big check or hire a lobbyist," Nyhart said. "We appreciate Gov. Napolitano's and
President-Elect Obama's long, steadfast support for comprehensive public financing of elections."

SENATOR CLINTON CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION OF HOMELAND SECURITY
CONTRACTOR BONUSES
Washington, DC - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today called on the Inspector
General of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to expand an
investigation of federal contracting practices to investigate the practice of award fees
by DHS, especially when it comes to no-bid contracts. Senator Clinton's call comes
in light of a recent report by DHS Inspector General Richard Skinner that DHS
improperly awarded a $475 million no-bid contract to Chenega Technology Services
Corporation, which according to the report "likely did not provide the government the
best value" and that DHS "did not comply with federal regulations". According to the
IG's office, the agency also provided award fees to the company as part of its
contract. In calling for the investigation, Senator Clinton underscored that despite
federal law requiring DHS to link award fees with successful acquisition outcomes,
there have been a number of reports of DHS providing award fees regardless of
performance.
"This disconnect between performance and award fees appears to be part of a
troubling pattern," said Senator Clinton. "In too many cases, DHS appears to be
awarding bonuses without evaluating work or, even worse, despite poor
performance. Failing contractors should be rooted out not rewarded."
The following is Senator Clinton's letter to DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner
requesting an investigation:
November 26, 2007
Mr. Richard L. Skinner
Inspector General
United States Department of Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20528
Dear Mr. Skinner:
I write regarding a disturbing report you issued last month that raises serious
questions about contracting practices at the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). The report - Customs and Border Protection Award and Oversight of Alaska
Native Corporation Contract for Enforcement Equipment Maintenance and Field
Operations Support (OIG-08-10) - details how DHS improperly awarded a $475
million, no-bid contract to Chenega Technology Services Corporation to maintain X-
ray, radiation and other screening machines at U.S. border checkpoints. Your report
concludes the contract "award likely did not provide the government the best value"
and that DHS "did not comply with federal regulations."
Additionally, your staff informs me that award fees were given to Chenega as
10/18/2016

a part of its contract with DHS. Given that your report did not focus on award fees to
Chenega, the details of these fees are unclear. However, taken together with your
conclusion that the Department improperly awarded the underlying contract to
Chenega, it is disturbing to hear that DHS has provided an award fee to this
corporation.
This disconnect between performance and award fees appears to be part of a
troubling pattern. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) state clearly that cost-
based award fee contracts are intended to motivate excellent contractor
performance in areas such as quality, timeliness, technical ingenuity, and cost-
effective management. Despite this guidance, during the course of the past several
years there have been a number of reports documenting how award fees are being
doled out by DHS to contractors regardless of performance:
• Evaluation of TSA's contract for the installation and maintenance of explosive
detection equipment at United States Airports (DHS Inspector General,
September 2004) - TSA awarded a contract to Boeing for the installation and
maintenance of explosive detection equipment at airports. TSA paid more
than $44 million to Boeing without any evaluation of Boeing's performance.
• Transportation Security Administration Review of the TSA Passenger and
Baggage Screening Pilot Program (DHS Inspector General, September 2004) -
TSA awarded four pilot program contracts to determine whether private
companies could provide and maintain passenger screening performance at
levels equal to or greater than the TSA screener force. The Inspector General
found the award fee determinations lacked performance criteria, were highly
subjective and based primarily on contractor self-assessments and input from
TSA officials.
• Observations on the Department of Homeland Security's Acquisition
Organization and on the Coast Guard's Deepwater Program (GAO-07-453T)
(February 8, 2007) - GAO found that despite documented problems in
schedule, performance, cost control, and contract administration throughout
the first year of the Deepwater contract, the contractor had received a rating
of 87 percent, which fell in the "very good" range and resulted in an award fee
of $4 million.
In too many cases, DHS appears to be awarding bonuses despite poor
performance, or worse, without even evaluating work. Failing contractors should be
rooted out, not rewarded. Given your report of what appears to be noncompliant
federal contracting practices on the part of the DHS and a pattern of providing award
fees to contractors without justification, I request that you expand your investigation
into the practice of award fees by the Department, especially when it comes to no-
bid contacts. Specifically, I would ask that your investigation review the following
questions:
• Section 3501 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery,
and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110-28) states, "The
Secretary of Homeland Security shall require that all contracts of the
Department of Homeland Security that provide award fees link such fees to
successful acquisition outcomes (which outcomes shall be specified in terms of
cost, schedule, and performance)." DHS has engaged in a number of
contracts in Fiscal Year 2007. How many of these contracts included award
fees and were these award fees based on successful acquisition outcomes?
What was the total amount of these award fees?
• Did the Department of Homeland Security violate P.L. 110-28 in providing
award fees to contractors Fiscal Year 2007?
• Were award fees given to Chenega Technology Services Corporation justified
and based on successful acquisition outcomes?
• What mechanisms are currently in place at DHS to ensure that award fees are
awarded in a proper manner? Are these mechanisms enforced in providing
award fees for DHS contracts? What can the Department of Homeland
Security do to ensure that award fees are justified and based on successful
acquisition outcomes?
Thank you for attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

Dear Mr. John Podesta,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at the Hillary after-party.
To recap: I am the young man from Philadelphia that will be attending law school next year and pursuing a
career in public service, with the eventual goal of successfully running for political office at the national level.
As you can imagine, this is a crucial time in my young life. As I am embarking on my own political career, it is
extremely valuable to surround myself with mentors like you to steer me in the right direction. To me, there is
nothing more valuable than the advise from an accomplished political veteran like yourself.
It was a humbling experience meeting you and I look forward to corresponding with you throughout the future.
Best of luck on the campaign!
Sincerely,
Jacob Scheiner

Subject: Community Choice and Health Care Reform Re. your recent message
Dear Honorable Congressman Waxman,
I can't thank you enough for the speedy reply pasted below, and for taking the time to meet with Jim, Chris,
and I, members of the long-time leadership of the Los Angeles County Personal Assistance Services Council that
oversees the in-home care needs of almost 180,000 seniors and people disabilities, about this most critical issue
whose time has most definitely come. The institutional bias is costing the taxpayers far more than it and is
exacting an enormous human toll on those were inappropriately placed in nursing homes.
Thank you for your cosponsorship of the Community Choice Act and for your commitment to see that people
have an option to stay in their own home when they need help. In this way have the opportunity to carry out a
productive life as I have been fortunate to do or simply to live in dignity among their own belongings and near
their families and friends. We owe all people the choice of freedom to live in the community and where they
would like to receive their long-term care.
If there are hearings or other meetings in health care reform regarding the savings that can be garnered and
the advantages attained from having an in-home care option rather than the institutional bias, I would be
honored to participate in any way I can.
Thank you again Congressman. Your ever compassionate stewardship of the well-being of our people's
health care is something for which we can never thank you enough.
Most sincerely,
Nancy Becker Kennedy
PS, I am in the process of researching some very difficult issues people with disabilities and seniors are currently
having in terms of acquiring durable medical equipment and the vendors difficulty of staying in business in the
current climate. When I have all my homework done I will call Lisa again to reach you about this pressing
problem.
In a message dated 6/6/2009 9:14:51 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, Nancybk writes:
Dear Nancy:
Thanks so much for taking the time to meet with me and share your thoughts on the upcoming health care
reform debate. It is helpful for me to have the benefit of your perspective as a well-regarded disability
advocate.
I also wanted to let you know that as a cosponsor of the Community Choice Act in the 1 1 0th Congress, I
support the goals of this legislation and can assure you that I will keep our shared priorities foremost in mind as
the Energy and Commerce Committee moves forward with a reform package.
Again, thank you for contacting me and I hope you will continue to keep in touch on matters of concern.
With kind regards, I am

BuzzFeed: Ready For Hillary Ramps Up Its Outreach To Faith Leaders
By Darren Sands
January 30, 2015 12:12 p.m. EST
[Subtitle:] It went much better than another recent meeting between Democratic leadership and black clergy,
sources say.
WASHINGTON — Ready for Hillary, the political action committee that raised $12 million in 2014 in anticipation of
Hillary Clinton’s announcement to run for president in 2016, has been reaching out to faith groups this month.
Just hours before the State of the Union address on Jan. 20, Ready for Hillary held an introductory call to rally
clergy — many who supported Obama in the 2008 primary election — on what role they might play in 201 6.
In addition to Burns Strider, senior adviser to Clinton in her 2008 campaign for faith and values outreach and the
Rev. Leah Daughtry, Joshua DuBois, former head of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood
Partnerships, joined to discuss what the Obama campaign built in 2008. The faith community was instrumental
“in moving the needle, and taking the temperature of the American people” in 2008, DuBois said, according to a
source.
Outreach to the black faith community has played a significant role in the Obama administration, though not all
Democratic outreach has gone smoothly recently. Months before the Ready for Hillary call, a similar kind of
meeting — this one in Washington, D.C. — between national Democrats didn’t go as planned.
Three sources confirmed a meeting between black clergy members and DNC leadership, including DNC chair
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, took place at the Democratic National Committee last month.
The group, one source said, felt slighted that DNC leaders seemed to differ on the level of importance placed on
the meeting; another source said DNC leaders showed up to the meeting late and left early.
A DNC official confirmed the meeting in a email statement BuzzFeed News, but said the departure was related to
Wasserman Schultz’s other role.
“We value these relationships highly but the congresswoman was pulled out of the meeting on congressional
business,” the official said. “She followed up with the attendees immediately and maintains a dialogue with those
in attendance.”

Barbara Williams-Skinner, president of Skinner Leadership Institute, a leadership conference for black ministers,
confirmed her own attendance at the meeting but did not want to rehash the particulars.
“It’s just not helpful,” she said. “We’re trying to do something positive and we’ve got a big agenda of advancing
African-American interests. You’re bringing up old stuff that was just a misunderstanding.”
The call with clergy leaders with Ready for Hillary “didn’t feel like it was reactive to anything,” said a source with
direct knowledge of the Jan. 20 call. “It would was more pulling back and refocusing on who Secretary Clinton is
and how she is setting an independent agenda.”
“African-American pastors did a lot of getting out the vote, not just for candidates but for progressive issues as
well,” said a Democratic political operative with strong ties to faith-based organizations across the nation. “I think,
beyond that, they want to think about what the party’s relationship is with them. Party officials want to know what
concerns they’re hearing from people in the pews. They want to know how they can be more responsive to
concerns.”
Quentin James, black Americans director for Ready for Hillary, who confirmed the political action committee’s
outreach to ministers, said building a coalition of faith leaders around issues early is key for Hillary Clinton’s
momentum should she decide to run this spring.
“The purpose of our call was to start our outreach to the faith community because we realize they’re going to
play a very important role in determining the next president of the United States,” he said. “Secretary Clinton has
a long history for working closely with that community, so as we’re organizing, we know we must engage them in
this movement.”
CNN: Jim Webb: Democrats need to focus more on 'white, working people'
By Dan Merica
January 30, 2015
Washington (CNN) If Jim Webb had his way, the Democratic Party would return to its "Franklin Roosevelt, Harry
Truman, Andrew Jackson roots" and put a greater focus on "white, working people."
Webb, the former Democratic senator from Virginia who is entertaining a run 2016 presidential nomination, told
NPR Friday morning that his party has not focused enough on white, working class voters in the past elections.
In order to be successful in the future, Webb said, that will need to change.
"I think they could do better with white, working people and I think this last election showed that," Webb said,
referencing the 2014 midterms where Republicans took control of the Senate and added more power in the

Page 533
House. "The Democratic Party could do very well to return to its Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Andrew
Jackson roots where the focus of the party was making sure that all people who lack a voice in the corridors of
power could have one through the elected represented."
Pressed on his statement by NPR's Steve Inskeep, Webb said that he doesn't think Democrats' distancing from
white, working people was a byproduct of President Barack Obama's election.
"This was happening before President Obama," Webb said.
Looking ahead to a 2016 race that he may run in, Webb added: "You are not going to have a situation again
where you have 96% of the African American vote turning out for one presidential candidate. ... We need to get
back to the principles of the Democratic Party that we are going to give everyone who needs access to the
corridors of power that access regardless of any of your antecedents. I think that is a fair concept."
In 2012, the last presidential election, Republican Mitt Romney won nearly 60% of all white voters, compared to
Obama's 40%. That difference is an increased split from 2008, when Obama won 43% of the white vote and
Republican John McCain won 55%.
If Webb were to enter the 2016 presidential race, he would do so as a longshot candidate. Not only would he
likely be challenging Hillary Clinton for the 2016 nomination, but he told Inskeep that raising money would be a
big challenge.
Like other Democrats toiling about a presidential run, Webb declined to directly attack Clinton.
"I really don't have an answer for you on that," he said when asked how he would differentiate himself with the
former secretary of state. "She has not announced that she is running, I haven't announced that I am running. If I
were to run, it would not be as a counterpoint to her. I have issues that I care about, I want to put them on the
table and we'll see."
Washington Post: Rand Paul tweets fake phone call between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. Internet
yawns.
By Nia-Malika Henderson
January 30, 2016 9:16 a.m. EST
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) seems not so much to be running for President, but King of the Internet or King of Silly
Snark instead.
The latest?

He tweeted out a fake phone call between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton that hits them on their dynastic roots.
Yes, the son of a three-time presidential candidate/Texas Congressman is hitting someone else for coming from
a political family.
You see, Paul really doesn't like that the same candidates run again and again and thinks the American public
shouldn't either. (Sidenote: Ron Paul ran for president in 1988, 2008 and 2012.)
As for the phone call here's the "transcript" (or listen here):
BUSH: “Hey, Hill. It’s Jeb.”
CLINTON: “Hey, Jeb. To what do I owe this pleasure?”
BUSH: “Well, it’s true. I’m thinking about running for president.”
CLINTON: “Well, Jeb, so am I."
BUSH: “I just wanted to call and give you a heads-up in hopes we could work something out.”
CLINTON: “What do you mean, Jeb? It’s clearly my turn: Bush, Clinton, Bush. Now, Clinton.”
BUSH: “Well, Hillary, there hasn’t been a Republican White House without a Bush since 1977, and we’re ready to
be back.”
CLINTON: “Let me shoot straight with you, Jeb, OK? Bill and I are dead broke and need a place to stay. 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue is calling me home. I’ve still got the back door key. Being president offers a lot more job
security than writing another memoir.”
BUSH: “Well, the Bushes have weathered attacks before. And read my lips, Hillary: We’re not backing down this
time.”
CLINTON: “Well, you’re right. Maybe we can work something out. We both agree on so many issues: bigger
government, Common Core, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.”
BUSH: “Well, we’ve both got problems. You’ve got problems with the grass roots, and I’ve got all those damn
conservatives. What say, we make a deal?”
(Call beeps in.)

BUSH: “Sorry, Hillary, but I have to go. Mitt keeps calling.”
CLINTON: “Oh, for crying out loud.”
First off, kudos to the woman voicing Clinton, she really nails it.
But really, the question for Paul, is why? Why bother? Why the snark? Especially over having a name that's
famous in presidential politics? Someone at Paul's political action committee thought this was a good idea.
Perhaps it would go viral. Perhaps the youngsters on the Twitter would love it. Maybe it would make Paul seem
hip. But the pursuit of cool never ends well.
Some Twitter reviews that should worry the Paul camp:
(That last one comes from someone who has sent 51 ,000 tweets.)
We've written before about how Paul is like a boxer in the ring taking swings at everyone in sight. He is
expending a lot of time and energy and the race hasn't even really started yet. Paul wants to maintain his image
as "the most interesting man in politics," yet the fights and Internet gimmicks make him look undisciplined and
less than serious. There's a fine line between being clever and childish and Paul seems to be teetering on the
edge.
Bloomberg View: Hillary Clinton's Late Start Won't Stop the Punches
By Megan McArdle
January 30, 2015 1:18 p.m. EST
So Hillary Clinton is thinking about delaying the start of her presidential campaign until the summer, according to
Politico's Mike Allen. As a strategic move, this makes sense to me: Why spend money and time getting a head
start in a race where she has no credible opponent? All this could possibly do is give her time to make gaffes
and give her opponents insights they could use to get a jump on their campaigns against her.
Of course, they'll be doing that anyway. All across the land, there are nameless moles digging through Clinton's
every utterance ... every Gawker post, every speech video and high school term paper. And at every campaign
office, people are even now mapping out the strategies that our presidential hopefuls will use to run against her.
The advantage of being the front-runner is that she has all the money locked up, and she won't need to run to
her left in the primaries in order to placate the base. The disadvantage is that she has no idea who she is
running against, while everyone else knows exactly what they will be fighting. They'll have over a year to lock in
their message -- no, better than that, they'll be able to start their campaigns against her during the primaries,
while she can't mount an effective response until she knows who her opponent will be. Any rejoinder she makes

before then will only serve to raise the profile of the people making the most effective criticisms.
Meanwhile, she'll need to spread her opposition research across multiple candidates, while all of theirs is laser-
focused on her. To be sure, she'll also benefit from the research they do on each other. But of course, the
winning candidate will also have the benefit of everyone else's anti-Hillary research operations -- and they're
more likely to pool their research for the general campaign, while they probably won't be sharing any unused
tidbits with the Democrats.
Overall, I wonder if this early lead won't ultimately turn out to be a disadvantage, not just because the candidates
will be focused on her, but because the public will be, too. By the time she actually gets around to running
against an opponent, she will already largely be defined in the public mind, and not by her side. People will have
been listening to Republican campaigns talking about Hillary Clinton more than they'll have been listening to her
talk about herself.
Her best hope is a bruising primary season from which the Republican victor staggers forward, bloody and
battered and ready for Clinton to deliver the killing blow. That wouldn't exactly be surprising, given the last race.
But I suspect that by then, Clinton will be nursing a few wounds herself.
Washington Examiner: American Crossroads takes aim at Hillary Clinton, stays out of GOP primary
By David M. Drucker
January 30, 2015 5:00 a.m. EST
American Crossroads is coming for Hillary Clinton, and soon.
The premiere Republican-aligned super PAC plans to spend many months targeting the likely Democratic
presidential nominee before the Republicans have chosen a candidate.
According to the PAC's president and CEO, Steven Law, American Crossroads will start off with opposition
research and polling. Paid advertising to undermine Clinton's candidacy will come later.
Law detailed the approach of American Crossroads, which was formed in 2010 by former White House strategist
Karl Rove, during an interview with the Washington Examiner. Rather than indiscriminate attacks, Law's 2016
goal is to digest and analyze all of the information American Crossroads compiles on President Obama’s former
secretary of state, and chart a disciplined, competent battle plan that doesn’t backfire on Republicans.
“My concern about Hillary is that [there] are new micro groups starting up on almost a weekly basis, all which
have as their mission to destroy Hillary, and I worry that there’s potentially a thin line that could be crossed from
somebody being a pariah and somebody being a victim,” Law said. “A surgical approach is a lot more effective
than just carpet-bombing, and so we’re going to try to develop a sense of doctrine ourselves about what the
most effective way would be to challenge her and the right timing for that and the right messages and the right

audience.”
American Crossroads, which is still advised on an unpaid basis by Rove, picked sides in a few Senate primaries
in 2014, supporting so-called Establishment candidates. But Law confirmed that the super PAC would not play in
the 2016 presidential primary, instead husbanding its resources for the fight against Clinton. The launch this
month of Senate Leadership Fund, a dedicated super PAC to support Republican Senate candidates in 2016,
also run by Law, frees up American Crossroads to attend more exclusively to the presidential contest.
The Republican field of potential White House candidates is crowded with sitting senators, sitting governors,
former governors and private sector entrants. The primary could be a super slugfest for the next 15 months, with
a presumed nominee possibly not emerging until April of 2016, just three months before the GOP’s national
convention kicks off in Cleveland on July 18.
Federal law prohibits presumed nominees from accessing funds raised for the general election prior to being
officially crowned as the party standard bearer at the nominating convention. American Crossroads is focused
on filling the void between then and now, an 18-month period. Law wants American Crossroads to help prevent a
repeat of 2012, when GOP nominee Mitt Romney had trouble defending against Obama’s attacks over the
summer because he couldn’t use money he’d raised for November.
Law said American Crossroads has a projected budget for the presidential race but would only describe it as
“plenty.” The group has a mixed record on effectiveness. American Crossroads and its nonprofit sister
organization, Crossroads GPS, spent $50 million on direct advocacy in House and Senate races in the 2014
cycle, which ended with decisive GOP gains in both chambers; but it also spent more than $85 million against
Obama in 2012, which came to nothing as the president handily defeated Romney and his party picked up seats.
Law is still considering the best way for American Crossroads to make an impact in 2016.
“It’ll be important for groups like ours,” Law said, “to fill the interregnum period between when the nominee is
selected by our party and when they’re actually able to step into the ring.”
Law said American Crossroads and other entities were active on this front in 2012, but he believes they missed a
critical strategic element that might have helped Romney: positive ads to build up the Republican, not just attack
ads seeking to tear down the Democrat.
“The part that was not present [in 2012] that I think everyone would have to take a hard look at is defending the
nominee as opposed to defining the opponent. That’s something that I think everybody’s going to have to sort
through,” Law said.
Bloomberg: How Bored Are Reporters by the Clinton Restoration?
By David Weigel

[Subtitle:] Fantasy campaigns break out across America.
Very, very bored. On a boredom scale of "Michael Bay action scene" to "Ingmar Bergman dinner scene," we are
somewhere near that part of Shame in which Liv Ullman and Max Von Sydow eat potatoes. The most in-your-face
evidence this week came in the Washington Post and the New York Times, both of which published big, fun take-
outs by two of their best writers on presidential campaigns that are not happening — but, you know, if they did,
would really roil the Hillary Clinton juggernaut.
On Wednesday, the Post's Ben Terris asked why Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown was not being promoted by
progressives for a 2016 bid. The answer, midway through the piece, was the same as it had been for years:
"He’s an older white guy." A Democratic Party that has made up for losses with white male voters by stronger
identity politics and turnout with everyone else was not inclined to block the first serious female presidential
candidate with a white guy. (At 62, Brown is just five years younger than Hillary Clinton.) Brown really didn't
sound bothered by it.
"I don’t say, ‘I’m not running now,”' he told Terris. "I don’t know what it is. I know you don’t believe this, but I don’t
really think about it all that much."
The big question in Terris's piece was why progressive groups were boosting Elizabeth Warren (who is 65)
instead of Brown. The cynical reason, that Warren is better for building lists of names and raising money, was
elided. The progressive movement-building is a larger part of Amy Chozick's "Hillary Clinton vs. Elizabeth Warren
Could Delight Republicans," the news hook of which is the much-hyped wave of "Run Warren Run" happening
this weekend.
Chozick focuses on a few undeniable facts. One: Clinton has struggled to adapt to the populism embodied by
Warren and Brown, and Republicans are still mocking her for muffing a line about how "corporations don't create
jobs" when campaigning at the same event as Warren. (She meant "tax breaks for corporations," which still
doesn't sound like her.) Republicans and progressives have tried to brand the woman who lapped Barack
Obama with working-class white Democrats as a rich banister, and the branding has sort of worked.
Two: Republicans, facing a cacophonous primary currently led by 1) the loser of the 2012 presidential race, 2)
the brother of the unpopular last Republican president, 3) a neurosurgeon, and 4) the senator son of the GOP's
iconic gold bug and isolationist, would really like the Democrats to join them in disarray. Chozick quotes Mike
Huckabee, Michele Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh, the editor of the Arkansas Project's own American Spectator,
and the executive director of America Rising, the conservative PAC that tracks Democrats and has been trolling
Warren to enter the race against Clinton. (A sample: "Warren Takes Shots at Clinton in Key AFL-CIO Speech.")
The assumption is not that Warren would beat Clinton. That's smart: There's little evidence that she could. A Fox
News poll released this week has been covered as worrying for Clinton, as her total support from Democrats (the
390 polled by Fox, anyway) had fallen from a high of 69 percent to a post-State Department low of ... 55 percent.
Her nearest rival was not Warren, but Vice President Joe Biden; they polled at 12 percent and 17 percent
respectively. If Clinton decided against a run, the frontrunner would be Biden, not Warren, with a 37-21 lead.
For comparison, at this point in the 2008 cycle, the week Clinton actually entered that race and John Kerry
abandoned it, Fox emerged with a poll showing Clinton's strongest numbers — 43 percent against the field.
Barack Obama, who was not as well known with Democrats then as Biden is now, polled at 15 percent.

But 2008, exciting as it was, was not a policy contest that dragged any Democrat to an extreme. That's the
conservative theory of goading a progressive to challenge Hillary — and it's based on a calcified idea of what the
"extremes" are. In this theory, a law professor who was once registered Republican is more "left-wing" than Saul
Alinsky scholar Hillary Clinton or socialist conference attendee Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton's fumbling attempt
to say the tax code shouldn't include corporate giveaways was like a lost verse from L'lnternationale. As we all
know, attacking corporations and saying they benefit from the tax code is left-wing.
Hang on. What was it Sarah Palin said in Iowa a few years ago?
Casting herself as the ultimate outsider, the former Alaska governor used a Tea Party rally to chastise the
President and a “permanent political class” that she said has protected their powers and enriched them, their
friends, and their contributors at the expense of ordinary Americans and the country’s well-being.
“There is a name for this,” Palin said. “It’s called corporate crony capitalism. It’s not the capitalism of free men
and free markets, of innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk. No, this is the capitalism of
connections and government bailouts and handouts . . . and influence peddling and corporate welfare.”
When Sarah Palin says the political system is rigged for corporations, it's Tea Party populism. When Elizabeth
Warren says it, it's red-flag socialism. Isn't it more likely that both are explicating a popular political concept, and
that both parties are going to try to perfect that in 2016? If so, the idea that Hillary Clinton would hurt herself by
unconvincingly appealing to the left is sound. Right now, Democratic voters mostly want her to be president, and
the left is not trying to make her as much as it's trying to make the Democrats understand how popular this
rhetoric is.

NEW PPI REPORT ARGUES FOR BOTTOM UP APPROACH TO
REDUCING U.S. CARBON EMISSIONS
WASHINGTON — The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) today released a
policy report authored by Derrick Freeman, A “Bottom Up” Approach to
Reducing U.S. Carbon Emissions . The report argues that the EPA’s Clean
Power Plan can accomplish what Congress failed to do and give states the
ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through cap-and-trade or a
carbon tax systems.
“Although a resort to command-and-control regulation would not be our first
option, in this case it could be a catalyst for a bottom-up approach to cap and
trade or a simple carbon tax,” writes Freeman. “[The] EPA now has a chance
to craft a rule that is workable, conducive to innovation, and respectful of
states’ ability to choose their own path toward carbon reduction.”
“Rather than try to resolve the long-running argument between cap and trade
and carbon taxes, progressives should be open to whichever has the best
chance of advancing in today’s political climate. We urge the EPA to explicitly
allow states to meet their carbon reduction commitments under CPP by
adopting carbon taxes as well as cap and trade systems.”

Nightly Labor Update
6.18.15.xlsx
Good evening everyone
Attached is tonight's updated spreadsheet. Here are a few points to draw your attention to:
1. July 1st, we have scheduled our labor policy discussions in Washington DC with our policy team. Notice has
gone out.
2. Need to discuss/confirm NEA requests post-RA decision. Also, NEA has reached out twice frustrated by HRC
attending NALEO and not the RA (given our conference position). It would be helpful to have a response to
NALEO question and feedback back on their other requests.
-RA Video
-Teletown Hall with members and HRC (July)
-Walk a Day event (August-September)
-2016 RA attendance
From our email last night, I have connected with Kari in NH regarding the RA and any Sanders activity. She is
reaching out to Scott McGilvray to help. I'm meeting with Troy and ISEA next week in Iowa.
3. Alliance for Retired Americans Convention has requested a Senator surrogate to their conference. HRC is
unable to attend. A video is not a option. Are we interested in asking a friendly Senator to surrogate? Sanders
and Pelosi are confirmed to attend.
4. The UAW has started to engage in a endorsement process and invited HRC to their Executive Board meeting
in Detroit August 11-1 3th. UAW has big 3 bargaining this year, FYI.
5. AFT teletown hall with members regarding 2016 endorsement last night went "very well".
6. Current confirmed attendees to John's home: Trumka, Saunders, J. David Cox (AFGE), Perrone (UFCW),
McGarvey (BCTD).
Trade Update:
TPA passed House and the labor campaign has moved to the 14 Democratic Senators that voted for TPA/TAA.
Almost all of the 14 said that they would only vote for TPA with TAA. This is the leverage point labor is trying to
work. The 14 Democratic Senators met with the White House today and reports back were not positive for the
WH. A cloture vote could happen in the Senate as early as tonight with a final TPA vote potentially happening
on Tuesday next week. In the House CBC Chairman Butterfield along with four other CBC members signed a
letter to the Senate saying that if they attach TAA to African Growth Opportunity Act they can't count on their
votes for it in the House.

Congrats on the great launch. I am writing because Jessica Schumer, currently my COS, is moving to New York
for personal reasons. If there was the right position on the campaign she would love to do it. She heard you
might have a COS position or something like that. Policy is the other natural place for her but with her boyfriend
(Mike Shapiro) headed that direction I think she is more reluctant.
As you know Jess is smart, hard working, motivated, strategic, and effective at getting things done. Let me know
if she should be in touch with you or anyone else there.
Best,

ACTION FUND
Contribute to Ed Markey’s campaign for U.S Senate: There’s just one week left until Tuesday’s
primary and there’s still a lot of voters to contact. Please join me to make sure Ed Markey wins the
primary next Tuesday »
John,
There is just one week left until the Massachusetts Special Election primary. The League of
Conservation Voters Action Fund is “all in” for Rep. Ed Markey - a long-time climate ally - as we help him
become the next U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.
The stakes are high. Polls conducted last week show a tightening race with Ed Markey receiving less
than 50 percent of the vote and 20 percent of the Massachusetts electorate still undecided on the race.
Ed’s campaign still has tens of thousands of voters to call, doors to knock, and people to get to the polls
on Tuesday. That’s why your help today - right now - is so critically important.
Here’s the bottom line: Fighting climate change has been the cause of Ed Markey’s life -- that’s why
I’m standing with Ed, but I can’t do it alone. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that - if he gets elected
- EJ will be one of the greenest Senators in Washington and a true champion on climate change. That is
why LCV Action Fund is 100 percent committed to his race.
In the Senate, Ed will provide visionary leadership that not only attempts to strengthen environmental
policy, but also help to grow our economy based on the clean-energy jobs of the future.
Contribute to Ed Markey’s campaign via LCV Action Fund’s
GiveGreen . If we can help Ed raise $25.000 more, we can help him
win the Special Election primary and put him closer to becoming the
next U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.
Ed Markey is one of the strongest champions we have in Washington fighting the climate crisis. Fie co-
authored and introduced the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) in 2009, during which time
he chaired the powerful Energy and Environment Subcommittee of the Flouse Energy & Commerce Committee. In addition to leading the fight
against climate change, Ed has been a leading voice for holding BP accountable for the Gulf oil spill and for reforming offshore drilling practices.
This race is tightening! Public polls show Ed’s lead narrowing as we get close to next Tuesday’s primary.
If we hope to protect our planet for our children and grandchildren, we need Ed Markey to win the primary. I hope you’ll join
me in making sure B3 Markey has the resources his campaign needs to win. Will you chip in with a contribution today?
Let’s make Ed Markey the next
U.S. Senator from
Massachusetts.
Help LCV Action Fund raise
$25,000 in the next seven days
to help Ed Markey win next
Tuesday’s primary for the
Massachusetts Senate seat.

Subject: [big campaign] VIDEO: Courage Makes Appearance in Congress
Courage Makes Appearance in Congress
Tom Andrews
Posted: June 17, 2010 04:40 PM
Video available at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tom-andrews/courage-makes-appearance b 616388.html
You probably missed it, but General David Petraeus' easy ride through Congress yesterday was interrupted by
three members of the House Armed Services Committee: Chellie Pingree of Maine, Carol Shea-Porter of New
Hampshire and Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts. Fortunately for Petraeus, mainstream media had already fled
the committee room before it was their turn to question the General.
"I disagree with you, basically, on the premise that our continued military presence in Afghanistan actually
strengthens our national security," Congresswoman Pingree told Petraeus. "Since the surge of troops in
southern and eastern Afghanistan started, we have seen only increased levels of violence, coupled with an
incompetent and corrupt Afghan government. I am of the belief that continuing with this surge and
increasing the level of American forces will have the same result -- more American lives lost, and we will be
no closer to success."
Isn't it great when a member of the House of Representatives is willing to represent the truth - even a politically
inconvenient one?
At issue for these courageous Members, and now a majority of the American public, are two key questions:
When do you accept that your military strategy is not working? At what point do you recognize the evidence
before you and change course? When it comes to the US strategy in Afghanistan, these questions are a matter
of life and death for our soldiers in harm's way and countless innocent Afghans. It's also the matter of hundreds
of billions of US dollars. Here are some of the inconvenient truths that the Pentagon is trying desperately to
avoid about its war in Afghanistan:
• Just over half way through June and already it is the 12th straight month of record-setting
casualties in Afghanistan . US casualties in the first six months of this year are more than twice their
total in the first six months of 2009, and the peak fighting season has yet to begin.
• What our top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, was once describing as a "model"
operation in Marja he now calls a "bleeding ulcer".
• The Pentagon's most recent quarterly report to Congress on Afghanistan confirmed that efforts to
strengthen the Afghan National Army have been stymied by "high attrition and low retention" of
recruits. Meanwhile, the insurgency continues to grow: "A ready supply of recruits is drawn from a
frustrated population where insurgents exploit poverty, tribal friction and a lack of governance to grow
their ranks."
• The Karzai government remains mired in corruption and incompetence under its mercurial and less
than stable leader. After threatening to join the Taliban this spring, this week we learned that
President Karzai "has lost his confidence in the capability of either the coalition or his own
government to protect this country" and "that he can't trust the Americans to fix the situation" in
Afghanistan.
• Our NATO allies refuse to provide the military trainers they once promised as opposition to the war
among their citizenry climbs ever higher. Canada and the Netherlands begin to pull their troops out of
Afghanistan in a few months.
• Here at home, polls now show that a majority of Americans do not believe the US military campaign

in Afghanistan is worth it.
Page 557
Still, as was the case in Vietnam, Pentagon officials trooped up to Capitol Hill yesterday to ask for more time,
money and patience. And despite growing public opposition to the failed escalation strategy, pro-war hawks like
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) were joined by none other than Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman, Carl
Levin (D-MI), in challenging not the failures of our current strategy, but the Administration's increasingly thin
promise to begin withdrawing troops in July 201 1 . According to Gen. Petraeus and Undersecretary of Defense
for Policy and Planning Michelle Flournoy, who also testified, those who favor our unending commitment to
Afghanistan have little to fear from that date. It is simply "an inflection point" at which time "a process begins."
Bottom line: How many more soldiers need to die during that "process" and how many more
billions of taxpayer dollars wasted before reality trumps the hope-based US strategy in
Afghanistan?
Thank you, Congresswomen Pingree, Shea-Porter and Tsongas. Now it's time for your colleagues to join you.
For our soldiers in harm's way, it is literally a matter of life and death.

• Democrats have a real choice here, because standing up to the gun lobby is a big difference between Senator Sanders and
myself.
• Ten years ago, gun safety advocates wanted to take gun makers and sellers to court for their reckless disregard for
human life. If an auto company sells an unsafe car, you can sue them. Unsafe food, unsafe tools, unsafe toys - the
makers can all be sued. So the NRA wrote a bill that said, "No one can sue a gun maker or a gun seller," calling it "the
most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years." And when it really mattered. Senator Sanders voted
with the gun lobby and I voted against the gun lobby.
• I would certainly understand if Senator Sanders would just stand up and say, "I got this one wrong. I'm sorry." But he
hasn't. He's defended his vote time and again. He's said he would "consider" some changes to the law - but that was
almost 90 days ago - and where are the changes?
• And so, go back to what President Obama said - guns should be a voting issue. And Senator Sanders has been
wrong on gun safety and wrong on the leading cause of death for young people in our country. So that's a clear
choice for Democrats in this primary.
As for Q&A:
Why make this attack now?
As the President noted, and as I've said often on the trial, this is a critical issue for our country and the safety of our families.
We see too many gun deaths in this country— we cannot afford to wait another day before acting. I have raised this issue
before and Senator Sanders has refused to give a straight answer. It's time to hold gun manufacturers accountable, so I hope
he'll join me in supporting this effort.
Senator Sanders and in fact, President Obama, have criticized your record on guns. What's your response?
My record on gun violence prevention is clear, and my conviction to this issue is strong. I have been calling for strong efforts
to fight gun violence throughout this campaign, and I will not stop fighting on this issue until we have done everything we can

Senator Sanders changes his position on immunity for gun sellers and gun makers, he’s wrong on gun
safety, wrong on the leading cause of death for young people in our country, and the wrong candidate for

Please think about this and feel free to share it. My column in The Hill today was about how Bernie
and Hillary need to unite to defeat Trump was highlighted in bold at the center of the front page of the
paper today.
It is no secret that I support Hillary without profound enthusiasm and have spent months praising
Bernie with huge enthusiasm. I have a ton of credibility with Bernie, his senior staff and above all his
grassroots and small donor base, who consider me the mainstream columnist who has given Bernie
the most fair shake in the media.
Now, I am beginning to cash in the chips by setting the stage carefully and tactfully for Bernie's people
to gravitate to Hillary by convention time. Most but not all of them will support Hillary, some will stay
home, I worry about the younger people especially who do not view politics as we do.
The next thing I am doing to suggest is an idea I slipped into the column today to get Bernie people
thinking — for him to create a People's PAC to amass small donors to support liberal Democrats for the
House and Senate in November.
Bernie's small donor base has revolutionary potential. $42 million in February alone. Their natural
tendency after the primaries will be to largely disperse. Some, but not a huge number, will give to
Hillary.
The next thing I intend to propose is that Bernie, Elizabeth Warren and Bill de Blasio announce before
the convention the People's PAC, raise a huge amount of money from small donors using the
convention as a launching pad, to support liberal Dems in the House and Senate (and Hillary).
The convention itself would be an ideal launching pad combining old and new media, television and
social media, for fundraising and organizing. A reasonable goal would be to raise from small donors
$100 million to $200 million which could help elect some very key liberals to the House and Senate.
That's a lot of dough to influence 8 key Senate races and 35 swing House races and would make a
material difference in who controls Congress. The project would help fuse together the Clinton and
Sanders people, and Democrats in the presidential and Congressional campaigns using the
convention as an organizing and motivating vehicle.
One of the reasons I made it a point to praise Podesta in my column today as a genuine progressive is
not only that I believe it is true, but that I wanted to put my credibility as a progressive behind John's
credibility. The Sanders insiders know this already, and I assume some of these conversations are
privately going on now, but the Sanders grassroots know me well by now, since I was writing about
Bernie long before others in the media would give Bernie the time of day.

What I want to do is keep the Sanders grassroots and small donor movements in place and behind
liberals running for Congress, rather than fading away. Simply being the party that is not Trump alone
is not nearly enough-we need to create a sense as conservatives have done that this is a movement
for change which the People's PAC would help motivate and quantify with real money that can help us
win Congress, without which a Democratic presidency will be a formula for frustration.
If Republicans nominate Trump, we have a strong chance of regaining the Senate and winning enough
House seats to be within reach of a working majority and long shot chance of control.

Sub'ect' Sampler of populist language from 2008 -- if we need pushback to attacks of HRC as faux populist
in video
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION NIGHT. 1/8/08
I've met families in this state and all over our country who've lost their homes to foreclosures, men and women who work day and night but can't pay
the bills and hope they don't get sick because they can't afford health insurance, young people who can't afford to go to college to pursue their
dreams. Too many have been invisible for too long. Well, you are not invisible to me.
The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years of a presider
who stands up for them. It's time we had a president who stands up for all of you.
I intend to be that president, to be a president who puts you first, your lives, your families, your children, your futures. I believe deeply in America, in
our can-do spirit, in our ability to meet any challenge and solve any problem. I believe in what we can do together.
YOUNGSTOWN OHIO SPEECH
After the past seven years that choice couldn't be more important because for seven long years we've had a government of, by and for the corpora
special interests. They have been heard first, they have been heard loudest and they have drowned out everyone else. And while you pinch pennie
to stay within your budget, the president blew the bank on tax breaks for his friend and no-bid contracts for his cronies, borrowing hundreds of billio
of dollars from China to pay for it all.
ZANESVILLE OHIO ECONOMIC FORUM
We're going to rein in the corporate special interests; we can take back $55 billion in tax giveaways that the Republicans and George Bush have
handed out to the oil companies, to the drug companies, to the health insurance companies. We're going to say "wait a minute Wall Street; you've
had your president. Now we need a president for Main Street." And we're going to make that happen.
OHIO PRIMARY NIGHT
For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled
but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you.
PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY NIGHT 4/22/08
For me, the victory we share tonight is deeply personal. It was here in Pennsylvania where my grandfather started work as a boy in the lace mills
and ended up as a supervisor five decades later. It was here where my father attended college and played football for Penn State. And I am back
here tonight because of their hard work and sacrifice. And I only wish they could have lived to see this moment, because in this election I carry with
me not just their dreams, but the dreams of people like them and like you all across our country - people who embrace hard work and opportunity,
who never waver in the face of adversity, who stand for what you believe and never stop believing in the promise of America.
I'm in this race to fight for you, to fight for everyone who has ever been counted out, for everyone fighting to pay the grocery bills or the medical
bills, the credit card and mortgage payments, and the outrageous price of gas at the pump today. . . You know you can count on me to stand up
strong for you every single day in the White House.

Subject: [big campaign] New Huff Post from Creamer-Political Significance of Brining Bin Laden to Justice
The Political Significance of Bringing Bin Laden to Justice
It is hard to overestimate the political importance of the fact that President Obama has brought Osama Bin
Laden to justice. In fact, his success in planning and executing the action against Bin Laden capped a week that
- taken as a whole - shifted the political momentum in the United States.
Voters - and especially swing voters - choose Presidents based on the way they evaluate their leadership
qualities.
Elections are about the candidates on the ballot. They are not about “issues” - though issues can become
symbols for whether a candidate is “on my side” or a “strong effective leader.” They are not even “about” the
voter’s objective experience with, for example, the economy - though that experience can have a huge impact
on the way we size up the qualities of a leader.
People think about political questions, candidates and leaders through symbols - symbolic issues, symbolic
events, symbolic stories.
Yesterday, President Obama created an overpowering political symbol. He succeeded at accomplishing a
mission that seemed nearly impossible. It had eluded the tough-talking President Bush. It had taken many
years.
Obama was directly - personally - involved in the planning of that mission. He demonstrated the kind of
patient, cool-headed, laser-focused, iron-willed leadership that everyday people are confident to follow.
His statement announcing the mission’s success demonstrated dignity and pride - not boastful swagger.
Barack Obama did not stride across a carrier deck in a flight suit and conjure up “mission accomplished.” He
confidently announced that he - and the forces under his command -- had actually accomplished the mission.
In one searingly memorable event, Obama swept away any Republican posturing that he - or Democrats -
are not tough enough - or advocate a “weak-kneed” foreign policy. His success - and his style - made all of the
gun-toting Palin and Bachmann rhetoric sound childish and irrelevant.
But the moment did not just communicate a feeling that Obama is a strong, effective leader. It also made
Americans feel empowered and inspired.
Obama’s ability to use rhetoric to inspire has always been one of his greatest political assets. Inspiration is
the feeling a charismatic leader communicates that gives a feeling of empowerment to the listener. It is one of
those rare leadership qualities that simultaneously persuades swing voters and mobilizes base voters.
This time Obama inspired by his actions. By succeeding at bringing Bin Laden to justice, Obama inspired
Americans.
One of the lingering effects of 9/1 1 was to make Americans feel powerless. They felt their country was
unable to bring the perpetrators to justice. And they quite correctly believed that the misguided wars that were
justified by the need to “fight terrorism” had become quagmires.
Obama’s success made them feel empowered. The spontaneous gatherings at the White House and Ground
Zero after the President’s announcement were not celebrations of Obama’s success. They were a celebration
10/18/2016

Page 582
of the feeling that all of us - that America - had succeeded at bringing justice to the victims of 9/1 1 . You didn’t
hear people saying “Obama got Osama” - you heard people saying “we got Osama.”
The ability of a President to make people feel good about themselves is a critical measure of leadership.
President Obama made people feel good about themselves when they voted to elect him in 2008. The long
slog back from the 2008 economic collapse has made it difficult since. Across America people feel good about
themselves today.
The success of the Bin Laden mission ended a week that has already begun to turn the political tide.
The President’s speech on his budget two weeks ago closed the political trap door on Republicans who had
been lured by their own ideological blindness and hubris to propose a budget that eliminates Medicare and
replaces it with a privatized program of federal support for insurance company premiums.
Throughout the Easter recess, Republican Members of Congress ran into a buzz-saw of opposition at home.
Obama’s success with Bin Laden strengthens his position in dealing with the Republicans who are
threatening to allow America to go into default without draconian cuts in Medicare and other critical and popular
programs. But more than that, it accelerates the velocity of the already-shifting political winds. If you’re a
Republican candidate or donor you’re going to start feeling it in your face.
His success makes the silly controversy over his birth certificate -- that had been revived by Donald Trump
and until recently had been parroted by many other “serious” candidates -- look even more marginal.
Appropriately, in many part of the country, the announcement of the successful mission interrupted Donald
Trump’s so-called reality show “Celebrity Apprentice,” with its cast of B-list personalities, many of whom are
famous for “doing nothing.” As Roger Catlin wrote on courant.com ,“And while Obama endeavored to provide
some hope in his announcement, Trump eliminated Hope. Hope Dworacyzk, that is, the Playboy model
eliminated on Celebrity Apprentice." The contrast was tangible, and striking.
While the President was planning the action that brought Osama Bin Laden to justice, Trump and the
Birthers were trying to convince America - against all evidence - that he was born in Kenya.
Of course what they were really trying to do was imply to swing voters that “Obama is really not one of us -
not really an American.” Yesterday’s success did more than any long form birth certificate to convince many
ordinary voters that Barack Obama is precisely the kind of leader that makes them proud to be an American.

Hillary believes that any new trade measure has to pass two tests: First, does it put us in a position to protect

prosperity and security for American families, not trade for trade’s sake. Hillary will be watching closely to see what

How does this look to everyone?
Hillary believes that any new trade measure has to pass two tests: First, does it put
us in a position to protect American workers, raise wages and create more good
jobs at home? Second, does it also strengthen our national security? We should be
willing to walk away from any outcome that falls short of these tests. The goal is
greater prosperity and security for American families, not trade for trade’s sake.
Hillary will be watching closely to see the result of a number of pivotal questions yet
to be decided, including what is being done to crack down on currency manipulation
and unfair competition by state-owned enterprises; to improve labor rights and
protect the environment, public health, and access to life-saving medicines; and to
open new opportunities for our family farms and small businesses to export their
products and services overseas. And, as Hillary warned in her book, Hard Choices,
we shouldn’t be giving special rights to corporations at the expense of workers and
consumers. Getting these things right will go a long way toward ensuring that trade
will be a net plus for everyday Americans.

Here is the story the Secretary is referring to, and this is the specific reference: "Last week, dozens of labor

Bill Clinton Defends His Economic Legacy
By AMY CHOZICK
The New York Times
April 30, 2014
Former President Bill Clinton, who has grown increasingly frustrated that his economic policies are viewed as
out-of-step with the current focus on income inequality, on Wednesday delivered his most muscular defense of
his economic legacy.
The speech reflected a strategic effort by Mr. Clinton and his advisers to reclaim the populist ground now
occupied by Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and other ascendant left-leaning Democrats, and,
potentially, to lay out an economic message that could propel his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to the White
House in 2016.
“My commitment was to restore broad-based prosperity to the economy and to give Americans a chance,” Mr.
Clinton told students at Georgetown University, his alma mater, as Mrs. Clinton looked on from the front row.
For nearly two hours, the former president defended the impact of policies like welfare overhaul and the
earned-income tax credit, and displayed a series of charts detailing the number of people his policies lifted out
of poverty.
“You know the rest,” he said of the 1990s. “It worked out pretty well.”
As president, Mr. Clinton presided over one of the healthiest economies in recent memory, but he also forged
a new model of a pro-business, pragmatic Democrat who championed public-private partnerships and open
markets. His language as president was more focused on lifting the middle class than castigating the wealthy.
That should not be confused with a lack of concern for the poor, Mr. Clinton says now.

That nuance has grown harder to communicate in recent weeks, especially as Ms. Warren has promoted her
best-selling book, “A Fighting Chance,” which argues that the deck is stacked in favor of big banks and
against ordinary people. A cadre of economic advisers has been helping Mr. Clinton crunch data and think
about how to better frame his economic legacy — one that included a balanced budget and the creation of
22.7 million jobs — in the context of the current climate of economic populism.
The effort began early this year, when the Clintons were accused of using the swearing-in of Mayor Bill de
Blasio of New York as a way to shore up their progressive credentials ahead of Mrs. Clinton’s potential 2016
campaign.
“Today, when someone talks about inequality they’re supposed to be a real left winger,” Mr. Clinton said at a
book party in January. Mr. Clinton told the small crowd, which included Martin O’Malley, the governor of
Maryland and a potential rival to Mrs. Clinton, that he had been fighting income inequality since his earliest
years in Arkansas politics.
He slyly mocked critics who suggest that he had discovered the inequality issue recently, saying: “ ‘Oh, look at
Bill Clinton, he went to the swearing-in of Bill de Blasio. He really is slick still.’ ”
Framing his policies effectively has implications beyond Mr. Clinton’s legacy. As she decides whether to run for
president in 2016, Mrs. Clinton has come under criticism from some left-leaning Democrats who view her as
too cozy with Wall Street. During her 2008 bid, Mrs. Clinton had to balance promoting the economic success
of her husband’s administration with distancing herself from policies less popular with Democratic primary
voters, like the North American Free Trade Agreement and the deregulation of the financial industry.
Last week, dozens of labor scholars and activists, including Ralph Nader, sent Mrs. Clinton a letter asking her
to use her influence with Walmart to urge the retailer to raise wages for its predominantly female work force.
From 1986 to 1992, Mrs. Clinton served on the board of Walmart.
“She has been going around the country getting awards and making $200,000 per speech giving soft, cushy
addresses on mother and apple pie issues,” Mr. Nadar said in an interview. “It just surprises me as to why she
wouldn’t come out for something so obvious.”
Mrs. Clinton did advocate raising the minimum wage at a speech in Boston last week. Burns Strider, executive
director of Correct the Record, an outside group that defends Mrs. Clinton said, “Prior to it being in style to
hold court on the issue of income inequality or lack-of-opportunity, Hillary Clinton was there, not just looking at
the issue but taking action.”
Voters generally have a rosy view of the 1990s: Median family income increased to $48,950 in 1999 from
$36,959 in 1993. And, from 1992 to 2000, unemployment fell to 7.6 percent from 14.2 percent for African-
Americans and to 5.7 percent from 1 1 .6 percent for Hispanics, according to Department of Commerce data.
“People can make their criticisms, but if you look back on the economy, people thought it was pretty darn
good, especially for working-class people,” John Podesta, a former chief of staff to Mr. Clinton, and a senior
adviser to President Obama, said in an interview last fall.
In his speech on Wednesday, Mr. Clinton called inequality “a severe constraint on growth” and said it had not
been as much of an issue in the 1 990s, when incomes grew more slowly for the richest 20 percent of families
than for the poorest 20 percent.
And, he said, he faced a contentious Republican-led Senate and House that would have rejected overheated
talk that castigated the wealthy or focused solely on wealth redistribution. Mr. Clinton aimed to appease the
other side by also devoting energy to deficit reduction and reforming the welfare system.
Al From, an adviser to Mr. Clinton who worked on his 1992 campaign, said, “We argued starting in 1991 that
the progressive position ought to be that nobody who works full time in America to support a family ought to be
poor.”

He added, “I'm sure he feels that he doesn’t get the credit he deserves for the economic gains that happened
during his administration.”
Critics have accused Mr. Clinton of trying to be all things to all people and said that some of his policies,
namely the trade agreements and legislation that allowed the commingling of commercial and investment
banks, might have exacerbated the current inequality. Others point out that the Internet boom coincided with
his presidency.
“You can say, ‘Oh, Clinton was lucky, he caught the tech boom.’ ‘Clinton was lucky, he came out of a
recession,’ ” Mr. Clinton said on Wednesday. He pointed to a chart that showed that 7.7 million people were
lifted out of poverty during his administration, compared with 77,000 during the Reagan years.
If she runs in 2016, Mrs. Clinton would confront the inequality issue from a very different place than her
husband did in 1 992, when he made $35,000 a year as governor of Arkansas. Back then, Mr. Clinton seemed
to have a natural connection to people of modest means while his opponent, the elder President George
Bush, struggled to say how much a gallon of milk cost.
On Wednesday, Mr. Clinton said he thanked God every day that “Hillary and I and some of our friends in this
audience who live in New York probably pay the highest aggregate tax rates in America.”
The challenge is not about personal wealth, but policies, said Robert B. Reich, a secretary of labor under Mr.
Clinton. And some policy experts argue that the era of centrist Clinton economics may have expired.
When asked by CNN last fall whether it was “the end of the Clinton Democrats,” Mr. Clinton replied: “There’s
probably something to that. America is growing more liberal culturally and more diverse.”
“But, again, let’s not get carried away here,” he added. “I ran on income inequality in 1992.”

The Note: Can Jeb Fix It?
November, 03, 2015 9:10 AM
By MICHAEL FALCONE
NOTABLES
—BUSH INVOKES LINCOLN: Jeb Bush launched his "Jeb Can Fix It" tour, invoking a U.S. president
who he said would have faced the same challenges he faces today. "If Lincoln were alive today, imagine
the foolishness he would have to suffer. Advisers telling him to shave his beard. Cable pundits telling
him to lose the top hat," Bush told an enthusiastic crowd gathered yesterday at the Tampa Garden Club
in Florida. He added that he has gotten advice, too: to ditch his glasses, change ties, prompting
laughter and applause from the crowd. The tour and the release of his e-book, "Reply All today," are all
in an effort to jumpstart a campaign that many say has been flailing, after tumbling poll numbers and
a widely panned debate performance, ABC's CANDACE SMITH notes. http://abcn.ws/1KTlX0E;
—ANALYSIS — ABC's RICK KLEIN : Jeb Bush's campaign theme is and has always been about that
"it," that it takes a Bush -- more specifically, Jeb! — to fix the mess voters believe the country has found
itself in. But the fix-it list has grown for Bush since the long-ago time of his campaign announcement.
He'll have to fix his debate performances, his campaign structure, and calculations about his path to
the nomination before he can hope to recapture enthusiasm about his candidacy. There's something
bigger Bush hopes to fix that is inherently problematic for him. He needs to fix what the 2016
campaign has become, and make it into what he has always hoped it would be. "This election is not
about a set of personalities," Bush said, somewhat hopefully. "It's about a set of principles." This
campaign has been about Donald Trump and Ben Carson and what the massive television events called
the presidential debates should look like. It has also been about, in part, the master-apprentice
relationship between Bush and Marco Rubio, whom his campaign team sees as his biggest ultimate
obstacle to the GOP nomination. When it has been about Bush, it's been about his last name far more
than his first. The campaign to date has not been about the principles of leadership that Bush wants it
to be about, at least not yet. http: //abcn.ws/1GIk82v
-WHY DONALD TRUMP THINKS BEN CARSON 'JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE'
TO BE PRESIDENT: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump ripped into his Republican
rivals today, saying Ben Carson doesn't have the experience or the temperament to be president. "It's
not his thing. He doesn't have the temperament for it," the New York real estate mogul told ABC News'
George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." "I think Ben just doesn't have the experience."
Trump also blasted Marco Rubio, emerging from the pack as an establishment alternative to Jeb Bush.
"I'm not a fan. I think he's overrated," he said, as "overrated," adding that "Putin would eat him alive."
He then went on to criticize Jeb Bush, saying that he should "absolutely" drop out of the 2016 race. "He
doesn't have a chance," he said, http: / /abcn.ws /1k7uwqw

PRESIDENT OBAMA MAKES FUN OF GOP CANDIDATES' DEBATE COMPLAINTS. President
Obama poked fun at the Republican presidential candidates tonight for their complaints about the
moderators at the CNBC debate last week. "They can't handle a bunch of CNBC moderators," the
president said at a DNC fundraiser held after a showing of Hamilton on Broadway. "I mean, let me tell

ya, if you can't handle, if you can't handle those guys, you know then I don't think the Chinese and the
Russians are going to be too worried about you." The Republican presidential campaigns met Sunday to
devise a new plan for their party's debates, according to ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ. Their meeting
arose in the wake of last week's CNBC Republican presidential debate, which was widely panned by the
candidates and Republican officials. http://abcn.ws/iHoZsCF
ANALYSIS — ABC's RICK KLEIN: Is it a genuine shock that the Republican presidential candidates
couldn't agree on this on? Just hours after emerging with something resembling consensus out of a
Sunday night meeting on debate format, the idea of a joint letter to networks to shape future debates
started falling apart. Donald Trump let it be known that he's a better negotiator by himself. Chris
Christie and John Kasich said, in essence, stop whining and start debating. Carly Fiorina's campaign
had the most fun of it, informing meeting organizers that campaign aides had dinner at an Applebee's
in Iowa rather than attend a "closed door meeting" outside of Washington. In short, individual
campaigns are doing what individual campaigns do: advocate for the interests of their individual
candidates. If anything, the events of the last week have validated what the RNC sought to do at the
beginning of the process of scheduling and organizing debates.
DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE'S BETTER LOOKING THAN MARCO RUBIO. He pulled out the
Trump card -- in the looks department. Donald Trump said that he not only had higher poll numbers
than fellow GOP presidential contender Marco Rubio -- he was also better looking than his rival, ABC's
ALI DUKAKIS notes. Trump made the comments on Bloomberg Television's "With All Due Respect,"
referencing the media fawning over Rubio, who had a successful performance at last week's Republican
debate. "I watched someone on [MSNBC's 'Morning Joe'] this morning. ..He's fawning over him. He says
how handsome he is," Trump said. "I don't know, I think I'm better looking than he is." Trump also
called the Florida senator overrated. "I think he's highly overrated, I think he's an overrated person,
I've called him a light weight. I think he's a light weight -- I hope I'm wrong about that." http://

BERNIE SANDERS STARTS TO NAME NAMES TO SET HIMSELF APART FROM HILLARY
CLINTON. The first event of Bernie Sanders's swing through New Hampshire this weekend was
uncharacteristically small. No large, chanting crowds commonplace to his campaign. Instead the
Vermont senator visited a senior center in Manchester and spoke to a thoughtful group of about 20
people before taking their questions. But it was not just the setting that was unusual for Sanders,
something had changed in his remarks too. Just minutes into his speech, he said her name. "Let me tell
you a word about Social Security. I understand Secretary Clinton was here the other day. I think she
and I have a strong disagreement on this," he began, going on to talk about his proposal for
maintaining and expanding Social Security by "scrapping the cap" on taxable income. By comparison,
Clinton has only said she would consider such an idea. ABC's MARYALICE PARKS has more.

HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN GETS NEW OFFICE, OLD SMELL. John Boehner left something

Wisconsin Republican inherited the speaker's office Friday, it still smelled of Boehner's cigarettes, which
he was known to smoke frequently. "It's like when you get a rental car or a hotel room that's been
smoked in; you know someone has smoked in it," Ryan, a fitness buff, joked to ABC News' Martha
Raddatz Friday. According to ABC's BENJAMIN SIEGEL, staffers are using a filtration machine to air
out the speaker's office -- which boasts the best view of the Washington Mall in town -- before Ryan's
arrival. http://abcn.ws/iNQHMBC

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
LOOK AT THE CELEBRITIES SUPPORTING OHIO MARIJUANA BALLOT ISSUE. Ohioans will
vote Tuesday on a measure to legalize marijuana with a surprise twist. The ballot issue has several
celebrity backers who plan to become part of the marijuana business if it passes. The ballot measure,
called Issue 3, would make it legal for people 21 or older to grow, use or share up to 8 ounces of
marijuana for recreational use. ABC's STEPHANIE EBBS reports, it would also grant exclusive
commercial growth rights to 10 landowners who would supply the roughly 1,100 dispensaries across
the state. Millions of dollars were donated to support the ballot initiative, along with big-name
supporters like NFL player Frostee Rucker, former NBA star Oscar Robertson and fashion designer
Nanette Lapore, who're listed on the website of a PAC supporting the measure, http://abcn.ws/

No Regrets the Dav After Election Dav
Imagine for one minute that you wake up the day after Election Day this year and the horrible has happened:
Republicans have captured new majorities in the U.S. House and Senate.
Do you want to look back and wish that you remembered to vote or volunteer or contribute?
I sure as hell don't.
If you and I have regrets the day after the election here is what will have happened.
• Speaker Pelosi will have been replaced by Speaker Boehner.
• Prominent progressive chairs of important committees will lose their gavels. Of the twenty standing
committees in the U.S. House, ten of them are chaired by members of the Congressional Progressive
Caucus.
• Progressive champions like Rep. Alan Grayson would be gone. Senator Russ Feingold, one of the great
defenders of the U.S. Constitution, would have lost his race.
• The likelihood of comprehensive legislation to address climate change or create a boom in renewable
energies will all but disappear.
• The push for Social Security privatization will be revived under a Republican Congress.
• The minimum wage and unemployment benefits and Medicare will all come under new attacks from the
Republican Congress.
• The good parts of health care reform and financial reform will be slowly weakened until they're
meaningless -- and the hope of improving these pieces of landmark legislation will be tossed aside.
• The drumbeat of concerns or opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer -- no hearings, no
tough questions about the budgets.
• The push for equality for LGBT Americans and populations of color will get zero attention in these new
Congresses as they revive decades-old attacks on Civil Rights.
• Tom DeLay-style corruption will have an open door. Rep. John Boehner, the likely new Speaker, has said
he wants to look at doing away with the Office of Congressional Ethics.
• And with two years until the presidential election, you better believe that Republican-controlled committees
in Congress will launch pointless investigations of President Obama and the Obama Administration in order
to grab headlines and create false scandals.
I don't want to have any regrets the day after the election. I don't want to be part of letting all of these bad things
happen. Do you?
Let me be clear that I do not share some dogmatic belief that Democrats are perfect or that the legislation or
reforms of the last two years have pulled America up again. Not yet at least. I've been frustrated or disappointed
with several positions taken by the administration or by an absence of leadership in some areas. I've also been
10/18/2016

Page 599
excited, happy or encouraged by some policy changes.
But you know what, it is perfectly normal and OK to hold two seemingly contradictory feelings: frustration and a
desire that Democrats kick some Republican butt on Election Day.
This is just like how a parent can be angry with the child they love. But there is no way in hell you're going to let
somebody come into your house and push your kid around.
These new Tea Party Republicans are going to make Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay look like socialists.
Do you want to have these regrets? Or do you want to know that you did everything you could? In the end, that
is really the choice each of us has whether we're progressive, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Independent, a third
party or even conservative.
I know what I'm choosing: no regrets.

First batch of Hillary's State Department emails released
By LAUREN FRENCH, JOSH GERSTEIN and BRYAN BENDER
5/22/15 12:13 PM EDT
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/hillary-clinton-emails-release-1 18214.html
The first batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s four years running the State Department was
released Friday.
Even before the emails were made public, the State Department argued that the nearly 900
pages of documents do not fundamentally alter the findings of the State Department’s
Accountability Review Board that probed the Benghazi terrorist attacks.
“The emails we release today do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the
events before, during, or after the attacks, which have been known since the independent
Accountability Review Board report on the Benghazi attacks was released almost two and a half
years ago,” wrote the department’s deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf.
These highly anticipated emails, some of which have already leaked out, give insight into
Clinton’s tenure as the top U.S. diplomat. They’re also serving as fodder for critics of the
Democratic presidential front-runner, who is still dogged by questions about a 2012 terrorist
attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens.
And they are sure to raise more questions about the administration’s and Clinton’s response to
what quickly became a political scandal. There is an email dated Sept. 15 with Clinton providing
“talking points” for an upcoming closed-door hearing before the House Select Committee on
Intelligence, but with the exception of Jake Sullivan the recipients are blacked out, along with the
entire document.
It states only: “Per the discussion at Deputies, here are the revised TPs for HPSCI.”
The emails also show that Clinton received now-classified documents on her personal email

address. One of the documents State recently deemed classified was a November 2012 email
reporting possible arrests in Libya related to the Benghazi attack. The memo was sent through
unclassified State Department channels and forwarded to Clinton’s private account by Sullivan,
State’s Director of Policy Planning. A notation on the document released says it was classified as
-“SECRET” — the middle tier of national security classification — on Friday, the same day the
records were released.
Clinton has been under intense pressure for weeks since it was revealed that she used a non-
official email address while at the State Department and stored those emails on a personal server
in her New York home. Republicans jumped on those revelations to accuse Clinton of attempting
to runaround federal records laws and keep key documents about Libya and Benghazi from the
public.
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, has
subpoenaed the State Department for all documents on Libya from Clinton’s time at the State
Department and is refusing to schedule the former secretary to testify until the Obama
administration turns the emails over to congressional investigators.

KATIE GLUECK
Gowdy said in a statement Friday that the committee will continue to seek all documents from
Clinton’s tenure at the State Department on Libya and Benghazi and not the “self-selected”
emails the former secretary made available.
“To assume a self-selected public record is complete, when no one with a duty or responsibility to
the public had the ability to take part in the selection, requires a leap in logic no impartial
reviewer should be required to make and strains credibility,” Gowdy said.
The Benghazi Committee has had access to this first batch of email, which represents less than 2
percent of the 55,000 emails Clinton returned to State, for months. Leaked portions of the emails
contain extensive communications between Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal — a longtime family
ally. Blumenthal would often send Clinton memos on the security in Libya before the 2012 attacks
that left four Americans dead.
Blumenthal’s analyses of Libya was often met with skepticism from senior State Department
officials, including Clinton. Gowdy asked the U.S. Marshals Service to serve Blumenthal with a
subpoena on Tuesday.
The emails also give a personal look at Clinton’s habits and relationships.
A Oct. 7, 2012 email from Blumenthal invited Clinton and her husband, former President Bill
Clinton, to a dinner.
“Postelection, we’d like to have you over for dinner. Bill can come, too, if he’s in town. Whatever
works,” Blumenthal wrote.
The rest of the 55,000 emails will be released to the public in stages. State proposed releasing
those records next January, but a judge rejected that plan and ordered the agency to come up
with a rolling schedule, which has yet to be finalized.
The documents released Friday are from January 2011 to Dec. 31 , 201 2, “and relate to the
security of, and attacks on, the State Department facility in Benghazi and to the United States’
diplomatic presence in Libya, including in Benghazi,” Harf said.
Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said in a statement
that the committee should now schedule Clinton to testify.
“Instead of the selective leaking that has happened so far, the American people can now read all
of these emails and see for themselves that they contain no evidence to back up claims that
Secretary Clinton ordered a stand-down, approved an illicit weapons program, or any other wild
allegation Republicans have made for years,” Cummings said.

Hillary Discussed Speculation About Her Health
With Aides In Emails
ALEX PAPPAS
Political Reporter
1:15 PM 05/22/2015
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed with aides the chatter on cable news about
whether she actually suffered a concussion in 2012, according to emails released by the State
Department on Friday.
A week before she was to testify before Congress in December 2012 about the attacks in
Benghazi, Clinton postponed her appearance with aides explaining she had fainted and
suffered a concussion.
On Dec. 20, chief of staff Cheryl Mills forwarded Clinton by email a transcript of Fox News host
Greta Van Susteren discussing Clinton’s health with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain.
“Senator,” Van Susteren said during that segment, “there is a report from the State Department
that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on Benghazi before the middle of January.
There has been some criticism of whether or not she has a concussion. I believe she has a
concussion. What do you think?”
McCain replied: “I have never seen her back down. And I believe that she is now not physically
well enough to testify and she will testify the middle of January.”
Mills sent a transcript of that interview to Clinton’s personal email — hrod@clintonemail.com
— and to close aide Huma Abdein.
Speaking of McCain, Clinton replied: “Huma called him and [South Carolina Sen. Lindsey]
Graham.”
“Also,” Clinton added, “someone should call Greta VS to thank her for ‘knowing the truth.’”
The emails released Friday, ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, are a few of the thousands
the Democratic presidential candidate has turned over to the State Department from her
personal email account. Clinton acknowledges she used that email account for both personal
and official business.

Statement on the Release of Secretary Clinton’s
Benghazi Emails
Washington, DC — Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., today
issued the following statement after the State Department released 300 self-selected
emails from former Secretary Hillary Clinton, over which the department had no control and
no custody for nearly two years. These emails were turned over to the State by former
Secretary Clinton in the fall of 2014 in reaction to a request from the Select Committee:
“More than six months after the Select Committee first discovered Secretary Clinton’s
unusual email arrangement with herself, and after the media discovered Secretary Clinton
relied exclusively on a personal server housing a personal email account eschewing any
official email address, State Department transferred 300 messages exclusively reviewed
and released by her own lawyers,” Gowdy said. “These lawyers, it must be noted, owed
and continue to owe a fiduciary responsibility to Secretary Clinton to protect her interests.
To assume a self-selected public record is complete, when no one with a duty or
responsibility to the public had the ability to take part in the selection, requires a leap in
logic no impartial reviewer should be required to make and strains credibility."
“It is also important to remember these email messages are just one piece of information
that cannot be completely evaluated or fully understood without the total record. The
Committee is working to collect and evaluate all of the relevant and material information
necessary to evaluate the full range of issues in context. We will not reach any
investigative conclusions until our work is complete, but these emails continue to reinforce
the fact that unresolved questions and issues remain as it relates to Benghazi.”
“The Select Committee continues to believe the American people have a right to the full
and complete record of her official emails and, therefore, asked Secretary Clinton to turn
her server and the full body of emails over to a neutral, detached, independent third party
for review. This is also why the State Department must comply with a months-old subpoena
for emails of the former Secretary’s top aides, whose emails have never been received or
reviewed by any congressional committee."

Page 606
“The Committee’s interest is in building a complete record from which the final, definitive
accounting regarding the terrorist attacks in Benghazi can be provided. The best way to
answer all questions related to the attacks in Benghazi continues to be having access to
the full public record, not a "record" controlled, possessed and screened exclusively by
Secretary Clinton's personal lawyers.”
###
Background Information on Released Emails:
Among the emails the Select Committee finds highlight the existence of
significant investigative questions:
September 24, 20 1 2 — “Compiled protest and Benghazi Statements.” A document that reinforces issues
relating to characterization of the motives for the attacks. For example, Jake Sullivan noted, “You never said
spontaneous or characterized the motives. In fact you were careful in your first statement to say we were
assessing motive and method. The way you treated the video in the Libya context was to say that some
sought to ‘justify* the attack on that basis.”
August 24, 2012 — “H: Intel on new Libya president. Sid.” In this document two and a half weeks before
the attacks, Jake Sullivan writes to the Secretary, “Some warning signs,” in response to the deteriorating
security situation in Benghazi, which forced the Red Cross to suspend activities, and reinforces questions
about what was done in response to these warnings.
April 4, 2012 — “Secretary Clinton’s Leadership on Libya.” This document characterizes Secretary
Clinton’s ownership of U.S. policy in Libya.
April 8, 201 1 — “UK game playing; new rebel strategists; Egypt moves in. Sid” In this document, Secretary
Clinton responded to a Blumenthal memo with, “Fyi. The idea of using private security experts to arm the
opposition should be considered.”
There are several instances of State personnel notifying the Secretary about
security concerns and issues:
April 1 0, 201 1 - Forwarded email about deteriorating security
April 22, 201 1 - Request for continuous coverage in Benghazi, “security permitting”
April 24, 201 1 - Forwarded email about hotels being targeted
June 1 0, 201 1 - Email including information about credible threat info against hotel and that personnel are
evacuating to alternate locations
August 21 , 201 1 - Email regarding concerns about Islamist militias
January 9, 2012 - Email stating that disarming and reintegrating of militias isn’t going as well as they had
hoped
February 24, 2012 - Email stating that militia rivalries are dangerous
August 24, 2012 - Email stating that there are “some warning signs”
The Committee also has an interest in understanding the inexplicable gaps in
the Secretary’s emails during key times of her involvement in Libyan policy,
including:
June 10-August 8, 2011 — Time period where Secretary Clinton was heavily involved in
Libya policy

First Batch of Hillary Clinton's Emails on Libya Made Public
BY CARRIE DANN
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/hillary-clinton/first-batch-hillary-clintons-emails-libya-
made-public-n362506
A batch of Hillary Clinton's personal emails made public on Thursday morning offers a
glimpse into her team's initial exchange of information in the wake of the Benghazi attacks
as well as her relationship with longtime confidante Sidney Blumenthal, who sent her at
least two dozen memos regarding Libya during her tenure as Secretary of State.
The State Department plans to release about 850 pages of the emails, which had been
handed over to the congressional panel investigating the Benghazi attacks. But on
Thursday, the New York Times released about a third of that batch of correspondence,
which Clinton exchanged using a private server rather than a government email account.
The documents show that, while Clinton used her personal email account to receive
information the government calls "sensitive," she did not appear to use her private server
to exchange classified information.
The "sensitive" information included details like the location of State Department officials in
Libya during a time of instability in the country in 201 1 .
The documents released by the New York Times also show that Clinton received
numerous briefing memos about Libya from Blumenthal, a longtime friend of the Clintons
who was not employed by the State Department. The New York Times reported earlier this
week that Blumenthal was also involved with a possible business venture in the country at
the time.
Two of those memos from Blumenthal came in the days immediately following the
September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 608
In one, sent on September 12, Blumenthal suggested that top security officers in the
country believed that the attacks "were inspired by what many devout Libyan viewed as a
sacrilegious internet video on the prophet Mohammed originating in America." Clinton
forwarded that information to top adviser Jake Sullivan with the message "more info."
But another memo sent the following day indicated that the attacks may have actually been
carried out by a militia group. Blumenthal wrote that officials in the country "believe that the
attackers having prepared to launch their assault took advantage of the cover provided by
the demonstrations in Benghazi protesting an internet production seen as disrespectful to
the prophet Mohammed."
The release of the emails comes after a prolonged political fight for Clinton over her use of
a private email server while serving as Secretary of State.
On Tuesday, Clinton urged the State Department to expedite the vetting of the emails after
initial reports suggested that the data trove would not be ready for public release until
January of next year

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton received
information on her private email server about the deadly attack on U.S. diplomatic
facilities in Benghazi that was classified Friday at the FBI’s request.
The email in question, forwarded to Clinton by her deputy chief of staff, relates to
reports of arrests in Libya of possible suspects in the attack.
The information was not classified at the time the email was sent and was upgraded
from unclassified to “secret” on Friday, according to State Department officials. The
officials said 23 words of the November 2012 message were redacted from the release
of 896 emails totaling 296 pages, to protect information that may damage foreign
relations.
They said no other redactions were made for classification reasons.
Spokeswoman Marie Harf says publication includes 296 e-mails given to a House
committee investigating the 2012 attack on the US diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.
She says redactions were made according to Freedom of Information Act standards.
The emails will be released via the State Department’s FOIA website, foia.state.gov

The documents cover e-mails between 201 1 and 2012 related to the Benghazi facility
and its security, and to the broader issue of a US diplomatic presence in Libya.
Harf says the e-mails don’t provide new facts about how four Americans were killed on
Sept. 1 1 , 2012. The State Department also said on Twitter that the emails don’t
provide a change in its understanding of the events.
The State Department is still reviewing 55,000 further pages of e-mails from Clinton’s
private email account. They’ll be published on a rolling basis.

O'MALLEY
John,
I’ve been personal aide to Governor O’Malley for almost a year now. I go where
he goes. I attend every event with him, and help him prepare for his interviews,
speeches, and meetings. It’s been a once in a lifetime experience.
Today, I want to share what it is like to be on the road with Governor O’Malley. I’ll
keep sending updates throughout the day about what we are doing to prepare for
the last debate before the Iowa Caucuses.
First, I need your help with the campaign. We only have 15 days left till caucus
night, and from what I’ve heard from our team in Iowa, we still need some funding
for our Get Out The Caucus Plan (GOTO).
If we are able to get funding to hire 20 more organizers TODAY, we will be able
to knock on thousands of doors and make tens of thousands of phone calls. This
is what can make the difference come caucus night.
Donate now to make sure we can hit all of our targets for GOTO and
caucus night.
Thanks,
Kevin

Dear John,
On behalf of American University and Food Tank, we are delighted to invite you to be a keynote speaker at the second annual
Food Tank Summit to be held in Washington, D.C. on April 20-21 , 201 6 . The event will take place at The Greenberg Theatre and will
be shown via livestream at special watch events all over the world.
The focus of the Food Tank Summits are to highlight creative and innovative ways to cultivate a better food system. This year, Food Tank is
quadrupling the number of summits. In 201 5, Food Tank hosted the 1 st annual summit in partnership with The George Washington University. The
event sold out within minutes, bringing together 400+ in person attendees and more than 1 5,500 livestream viewers. We are thrilled to expand
this platform to Sacramento, Chicago, and Sao Paulo, Brazil this year, in addition to Washington, D.C. again.
Food Tank Summits bring together policymakers, academics, youth, members of the funding and donor community, and advocates to inject new
energy into the international dialogue around alleviating hunger and obesity, preventing food waste, recognizing the role of women and youth in
the food system, and ensuring access to safe, affordable, and nutritious food for all.
The Summit will be two inspiring days, the first will be filled with interactive discussion, including a variety of speakers from around the world.
The first day of events will include dynamic panel discussion and exciting keynote speakers. The second day will be experiential, creating
opportunities for networking, advocacy, touring urban farms, workshops, seasonal, local food, and lots of fun.
We think your extraordinary commitment to sustainability in the food system will make you an ideal speaker for the Summit,
and we are sure the audience will be thrilled to hear from you. We will be thrilled if you will consider speaking at the Summit.
Each speaker will be part of a panel made up of five to seven leading experts who will each have exactly five minutes to explore the challenges
and solutions they find in their work. We find that this format allows speakers to distill their thoughts in a creative way, while also giving the
audience an opportunity to hear from a wide cross-section of the food movement. The panel discussion will be followed by a question and
answer session with the audience.
Please let us know if you are interested and can make the time to join us. You can email me at Danielle@foodtank.com or call 202-590-1037
if you have any questions. I would be incredibly honored for you to join us! Read more about the 2016 Food Tank Summits HERE

SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO
IMPROVE GLOBAL AIDS PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Bill Would Require President to Develop Strategy to Address Women's Specific
Vulnerabilities to HIV
WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced the Protection
Against Transmission of HIV for Women and Youth (PATHWAY) Act of 2007, the
Senate companion of legislation introduced by Representative Barbara Lee. This
legislation would require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive,
integrated and culturally relevant global HIV prevention strategy that addresses the
vulnerabilities of women and girls. It would also strike the requirement that one third
of prevention funding under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief be spent
on abstinence-until-marriage programs.
"Women account for about half of those living with the epidemic worldwide, and
represent more than 60% of those living with HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa,"
Senator Clinton said. "Our government pledged to prevent seven million new
infections through the PEPFAR program, but we cannot make any progress against
this disease unless we address the circumstances, like gender-based violence, that
increase women's vulnerability to HIV infection. We also must ensure that we use
science, not ideology, to guide our prevention programs, and repeal funding
restrictions that limit the success of activities at the local level."
According to UNAIDS, 33 million people around the world are living with HIV. Women
account for about half of those living with the virus, but in certain populations, they
are disproportionately affected. Among sub-Saharan African youth aged 15-24— the
group which accounts for about two thirds of all new infections— women account for
three out of every four new infections. Young women are not only getting infected at
greater rates, but they do not have the knowledge to protect themselves. In studies
of youth in 17 countries completed in 2003, more than 75 percent of young women
surveyed could not identify ways to protect themselves from HIV. And the
circumstances of women often limit their ability to prevent HIV infection. According to
UNICEF, more than 40 percent of girls in Africa and South Asia are married before
their 18th birthday - meaning that abstinence-until-marriage messages will not teach
them how to protect themselves against HIV.
The PATHWAY Act will require our government to develop a strategy to address
these many factors. It will focus attention on the stigma surrounding HIV, the links
between gender-based violence and HIV infection, the ways in which increasing
educational and economic opportunities for women can prevent HIV infection, and
ways in which to improve access to female-controlled prevention methods. This
legislation will also strike funding restrictions that require a certain percentage of
funds to be spent on non-comprehensive prevention programs, which, according to
the Government Accountability Office, limits the ability of programs on the ground to
address the need in communities being served by U.S. funding.
This legislation is supported by the International Women's Health Coalition, Global
AIDS Alliance, the Center for Health and Gender Equity, Physicians for Human
Rights, Advocates for Youth, Population Action, the International Center for Research
on Women, and Population Services International.

Subject: Democratic think tank taking shape
In case any of you are still as I confused as I was about what Dad has been up to, maybe this article from The Hill will help....
Democratic think tank taking shape
By Alexander Bolton
The Democrats are ramping up efforts to launch a liberal
think tank in September that they say will give their party
the unified message it lacked in 2002 and counter the well-
funded network of conservative policy shops.
John Podesta, who served as White House chief of staff
during the Clinton administration, is spearheading the project
and consulting with Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill.
The think tank, known for now as the American Majority
Institute, will have an amiual operating budget of at least
$10 million, a sum that would immediately make it the
largest Democratic think tank in town.
By comparison, the Progressive Policy Institute, the think
tank affiliated with the centrist Democratic Leadership
Council, has an annual operating budget of around $3
million.
Key Democrats attribute Republican control of the White
House and both branches of Congress in part to their
party’s lack of an effective mechanism for disseminating
liberal ideas to the public and the media. They say such
wealthy conservative groups as the Heritage Foundation and
the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) have helped
Republicans gain the upper hand in the battle over ideas.
“Certainly right now the conservative right does a much
better job of feeding the media beast facts and arguments
that make their case,” said Joe Lockhart, a Democratic
consultant who served as White House spokesman in the
Clinton administration. “On the progressive side of the aisle,
we’ve been asleep at the wheel.”
“This will be part of the push-back effort,” he added,
referring to the American Majority Institute.
Indicating the importance of the project, Senate Minority
Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) convened a meeting of
leading Senate Democrats to review and discuss it shortly
before the Memorial Day recess.

“We have to begin building a structure similar to that which
the Republicans have funded for many years,” said Sen.
Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), chairman of the Democratic
Policy Conference. “We’re trying to begin that process, but
it’s slow. We don’t have the same easy funding sources
that the Republicans have had.”
The American Majority Institute moved into new offices at
15th and H Streets N.W. this week and has already filled
some key slots. Podesta will serve as president; Laura
Nichols, who worked as communications director for
former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), will
be senior vice president; Sarah Wartell, who served as chief
of staff for the National Economic Council in the Clinton
administration, will be the chief operating officer; and Neera
Tanden, former policy director and deputy campaign
manager for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), will oversee
domestic policy.
Organizers will spend the summer raising money and hiring
more staff before the formal launch in September.
Nichols said the institute will be a think tank “with a
muscular communications component to it.”
“There are a number of excellent policy think tanks on the
progressive side, but what they’re lacking is a serious
marketing and communications component,” she said.
Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N J.), chairman of the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee, said many in his party
think liberal think tanks devoted to narrow topics need to be
better organized.
“It’s not a holistic view,” he said. “There’s a belief that you
need something central, you need to be able to partner with
other [groups] that might do specific work and pull those
things together.”
Some Democratic strategists view the new think tank as a
vehicle for crafting a unified message, something the party
struggled to find before last year’s election, when it lost
control of the Senate and six seats in the House.
“It would serve as a communications hub for a lot of the
policy ideas people have,” said a strategist familiar with the
American Majority Institute. “It would be a place where
people are brought together to hash out policy in a lot of
different areas.”
Although some conservatives view the Brookings Institution
— one of the largest policy think tanks in Washington, with
an annual operating budget of around $36 billion — as left-
leaning, many Democrats complain that it is too
independent, academic and aloof to give their party much of
a boost.
Indeed, Brookings describes itself as a “nonpartisan
organization devoted to research, analysis, education and
publication focused on public policy issues.”
By contrast, the Heritage Foundation, which has an annual
operating budget of around $30 million, states its mission
unambiguously: “To formulate and promote conservative

public policies based on the principles of free enterprise,
limited government, individual freedom, traditional American
values, and a strong national defense.”
Republicans can rely on a slew of other well-funded
conservative think tanks, such as the AEI (annual expenses:
about $16 million), the Hudson Institute (annual budget:
about $7 million), and the Cato Institute (annual budget:
about $15 million).
Democrats have fewer allies, with less money. The Center
on Budget & Policy Priorities has an annual budget of
around $8 million; the Economic Policy Institute has a
budget close to $5 million.
The idea of creating a new Democratic think tank gained
momentum when Steve Kirsch, the billionaire founder of the
Internet search engine Infoseek, began pushing it.
“What happened is I started talking to various people in
Washington saying, ‘We need a Heritage Foundation for the
left.’” said Kirsch.
Soon after, a committee was set up to find someone to put
the think tank together.
“John Podesta was on virtually everybody’s shortlist,”
Kirsch said.
However, Democrats say they realize it will take some time
to build a policy network that can match conservative
groups.
“The Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute and other
conservative think tanks have been at this for 40 years since
[former Senator Barry] Goldwater [R-Ariz.] lost in 1964,”
said Steve Grossman, a former chairman of the Democratic
National Committee.
Grossman said conservatives have achieved “a gradual
dominance of think tanks, magazines, talk radio, and TV.”
“The intellectual capital for that [dominance has been fueled
by] . . . what think tanks have been pouring out in thoughtful
pieces that have been gradually accepted by other people,”
he said.
“I think this is part of the push-back.”

Califf does have real ties industry, but there is no smoking gun. I think it might be worth doing some more digging

Califf the Obama nominee does have real ties to the drug industry - Chris Jennings is calling a few
people for me to learn more so we don't tip our hand directly. We are clean on Clinton Admin FDA
Commissioner - it was David Kessler, an academic who had run a teaching hospital - and best
known for taking on big tobacco. We could certainly signal that we want someone willing to stand
up to Pharma (in the same way Kessler stood up to Tobacco).
BUT - 1 want to do a little more digging and due diligence before we hit this guy. Having been
through a nomination fight with my husband (in which he lost), this is personal and messy and
horrible on the person nominated and their families - so I don't take attacking this guy lightly.
Do you want to do it on Meet the Press?
Also, as long as I have all of your attention - on Cadillac Tax - the general consensus is that we
should frame our position as Cadillac Tax should be repealed but that we should tax people who
make more than $250K b/c they don't need to have tax-payer funded subsidies. I have not nailed
this down with HRC. Should I try to do that today if we are going to announce this on Meet the

Will do with Randi - weave in Clinton story and make sure they release it before tonight's debate.
And for HRC's TPs at TONIGHT at debate - here is what I suggest and here is background:
• We need to insist on Congressional and State action to fix the water infrastructure in Flint
and the molded, crumbling schools in Detroit, but we cannot wait for their action.
• I am proud that unions and their pension funds have stepped up to offer help. In Flint, while the Mayor is
awaiting the federal and state resources to remove and replace the lead pipes, the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company (ULLICO) will offer up to $25 million in “gap financing” in the form of low-
cost loans so Flint can start this work immediately.
• And in Detroit, the American Federation of Teachers just announced they will work to make sure
that union pension funds can also be used to renovate and overhaul classrooms and school
infrastructure in Detroit’s 97 pubic school buildings. Of course, the state must act as a partner in
addressing Detroit's public school debts, but the unions are doing more than their part to help fix
these egregious problems.
BACKROUND:
FLINT
CGI/Labor Infrastructure Pension Funds - In 2014, some of the largest pension funds that
handle union pensions made a CGI commitment, pledging to invest over $10 billion in infrastructure
projects nationwide. President Clinton encouraged this fund to help with Mayor Weaver’s plans to
replace the city’s lead pipes. Mayor Weaver’s Fast Start Plan would replace the city's 15,000 lead

pipes in one year. This $55 million project would target high-risk households first, and expand in
phase two to replace pipes for all Flint water customers. While the Mayor is awaiting the federal and
state resources for the project, Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULLICO) believes they can
provide $25 to $30 million in “gap financing” in the form of a low-cost loan. They also have
experience investing in and managing municipal water systems (Rialto, CA). The Building Trades are
also an important partner on the workforce side. The Mayor said one of their biggest challenges is
"lack of capacity" and manpower to move this project and will be working with the building trades to
get the manpower she needs. The Plumbers Union has provided early help (Chelsea visited the
Plumbers Hall to thank them when she went to Flint), but the city will likely need to draw on the
skilled trades from around the region to complete a project of this scale.
DETROIT
Outline of Detroit Infrastructure Commitment Announcement
The Am erican Federation of Teachers (AFT) has partnered with the Amalgamated Bank, the
National League of Cities and the First Five Years Fund to launch a $100 million Education
Infrastructure Fund.
This revolving loan fund provides affordable, flexible capital loans to public school systems for
capital improvements and other infrastructure upgrades for early childhood facilities and K-12.
It provides for acquisition, construction and term financing to build or improve classrooms..
The capital needs of the Detroit public schools are critical and growing. The city’s public schools
have limited availability to adequate facilities, and a dearth of low cost capital providers.
Access to affordable capital will allow Detroit schools to renovate classrooms to provide for a
healthy & safe learning enviromnent.
The state of Michigan will serve as a critical backstop in the restructuring lead by transition
manager Judge Steven Rhodes.
The labor movement, together with its asset manager partners and other stakeholders (North
America’s Building Trades Unions and the Kresge Foundation) co mm it to provide the following for
Detroit’s schools;
o Fow-interest loans, technical and business assistance and energy audits to upgrade
heating and water systems, retrofit lighting and replace inefficient windows, and provide
for removal and abatement of lead, mold and asbestos;
o Work closely with the Mayor, community, Detroit Public School District and Judge
Rhodes and other stakeholders to renovate and overhaul classrooms and school
infrastmcture in Detroit’s 97 pubic school buildings. This effort is conditioned on local
control and the state acting as a partner in assuming and Detroit public schools debt, and
backing any new financing;
o Other projects as mutually agreed;

Our consortium sets a goal of deploying $50 million in capital over the next year to achieve
the goals outlined above.
In the event the local landscape is stabilized and strengthened with the return of local control to the
people of Detroit and the creation of a genuinely local entity with broad authority to oversee new
schools, interventions, and closures, we anticipate exploring the possibility of committing even more
capital and support to all public schools in the City.”On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 1 :27 PM, John Podesta

Here's a new analysis Campaign Money Watch just completed:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Wed, 08/13/2008 - 9:11am
The (Nearly) $1 Billion Connection: McCain And His Lobbyists' Clients
Washington, D.C. - Campaign Money Watch, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, announced today the result of
a new analysis of the fees Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) lobbyist bundlers, advisors and staff members have collected from
domestic clients over the past decade.
The total? A staggering $930,949,819.
"The McCain campaign relies on big money lobbyists, and they'll rely on him," said David Donnelly, director of Campaign
Money Watch. "In the 'you-scratch-my-back, I'll-scratch-yours' world of Washington, $931 million gets the special interests the
best government money can buy. But just think of the payday these lobbyists might expect in a McCain Administration."
Campaign Money Watch's analysis of data provided by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics ( http://
www.opensecrets.org) also found that employees and Political Action Committees of these lobbyists' clients have donated
$11,750,051 to McCain's campaigns, a fact that raises its own set of problems, Donnelly said.
"How can John McCain say he'll reduce the influence of special interests in Washington, when he's so fully dependent on
lobbyists and their clients to finance his campaign?" Donnelly asked. "All candidates need to raise money, but is this
exemplary of a candidate who claims he'll tackle the special interests?"
To highlight the connections between John McCain and his lobbyists, Campaign Money Watch launched a new Web site last
Tuesday called McCain's Lobbyists ( http://www.McCainsLobbvists.com ). The site shows focuses on 40 of the most prolific
- some would argue profligate - lobbyists around McCain. It shows how much money their clients have given to McCain, as
well as how much money those lobbyists have earned off those clients.
Campaign Money Watch is a project of the nonpartisan Public Campaign Action Fund. The organization works to hold
politicians who are against comprehensive campaign finance reform accountable for where they get their political donations.

Subject: [big campaign] Letter from President Andy Stern to SEIU Members: Where Do We Go From Here?
Hey there —
After we met with our executive board last night. President Stem, drafted the following letter to our members. We posted it
on our site shortly ago, http://www.seiu.org/2009/12/])#letter-from-president-andy-|)$stern-to-seiu-members-where-])%do-
we-go-from-here.php . and are sending it to out to our 2.2 million nurses, doctors, home healthcare workers, janitors,
security guards, and child care workers.
We are having a press call with President Stern and a few of our members at 1:30 today.
As always, let me know if you have any questions!
Mark
Letter from President Andy Stern to SEIU Members: Where Do We Go From Here?
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
A little over a year ago, you stood up and showed a nation that Yes, We Can. You knocked on doors, picked up phones,
wrote your friends and family and neighbors and helped ring in a resounding victory. It was a win not just for a candidate,
but for a people. For a country. For a promise of a better future for all of our kids and grandkids and generations to come.
And after that bright and shining day in November, you hung in there. At a time when people usually pack up, go home, and
play the spectator sport of complaining about the system, you got up each and every day and did things both heroic and
small to make sure that this time, we didn't leave change to chance.
For nearly a century, Presidents and congressional leaders have debated how to fix our health insurance system. It has
become a given that we can and must do better as a nation. But as surely as each generation has tried, each time, politics,
special interests and scare tactics have blocked progress and made us come to believe we can't: We can’t change, we can’t
make our country better - plain and simple, we just can’t.
I am writing to you today because I believe this is the moment when we must stand as one and say enough.
We talked to more than 200,000 of our sisters and brothers all around the country as part of a Town Hall-style telephone call last
week to talk about your questions, your concerns and your frustrations about what is happening in Washington with health
insurance refonn.
Cynthia from Maryland was worried about her health benefits being taxed.
Maria in California didn’t understand why the public option might be off the table.
Gerry from West Virginia wanted to know if he would be able to afford his health coverage.
One thing was clear: When SEIU stands up for affordable care every American can count on, we stand 2.2 million strong and ready to
fight for the change our families, friends and neighbors; our patients and our nation need.
But at the very moment that we saw real and meaningful changes within our grasp, one Senator came forward to say "no
we can't." He can't let the Senate have an up-or-down vote on health insurance reform.
And the result of this Senator saying "we can’t?" The public option is declared impossible. Americans cannot purchase

Medicare at an earlier age. The health insurance reform effort we have needed for a century is at risk.
SEIU does not accept that this monumental effort - that this reform that is so necessary to the health and wellbeing of our
economy, our families and our future - can be over without a fight. A fight to make it work for you and your families.
Last night, we held a meeting with your International Executive Board - leaders from across the country. Leaders who know
you, who understand what you are going through, and above all else, who believe that every one of you deserves a chance to
weigh in on our next steps.
We talked about everything that makes this refonn meaningful:
The 30 million more people who will have healthcare they can count on;
The people who will no longer lose their coverage if they get sick;
All of us who no longer have to worry about being denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions;
Women who will no longer be discriminated against just because of their gender.
But we also recognized, that like you, we have concerns. And while it is not entirely clear what the Senate bill will look like,
it is becoming clearer that:
For many people, care will still be too expensive to afford.
Some of you would face an additional burden because your health insurance benefits would be taxed.
And the best way we saw possible to hold insurance companies accountable was no longer an option.
So we asked ourselves - and we are asking you - the most critical question we have of this entire debate: where do we go
from here?
We know we will fight. We will continue to fight for everything we know is important. We will fight to make care
affordable. We will fight for real health insurance reforms. We will fight for employers to provide their employees
with coverage. And, we will fight to pay for all of it responsibly without a tax on your benefits.
But we aren’t the only ones who must fight.
President Obama must remember his own words from the campaign. His call of “Yes We Can” was not just to us, not just
to the millions of people who voted for him, but to himself. We all stood shoulder to shoulder with the President during his
hard fought campaign. And, we will continue to stand with him but he must fight for the reform we all know is possible. He
must fight for Cynthia, Maria, and Gerry — for every American.
Our challenge to you, to the President, to the Senate and to the House of Representatives is to fight. Now, more than ever, all
of us must stand up, remember what health insurance refonn is all about, and fight like hell to deliver real and meaningful
reform to the American people.
In Solidarity,
Andy Stem

Axelrod on Hillary: 'Ready for What ? 1
By Peter Sullivan
December 16, 2014
The Hill

Page 639
David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, said Tuesday that Hillary Clinton needs to establish a rationale for her
presidential candidacy, saying when he hears "Ready for Hillary," he thinks, "Ready for what?"
"What happened in 2008 was that Hillary's candidacy got out in front of any rationale for it, and the danger is that that's
happening again," Axelrod, who was a top adviser to Barack Obama's come-from-behind win over Clinton in 2008, said on
MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"You hear Ready for Hillary; it's like, 'Ready for what?' "
Axelrod said Clinton could be using the time before she announces her candidacy to decide the answer to that question.
"Now Hillary's task is to define what it is that she's running for and running about," Axelrod said. "And what would the future
look like under another President Clinton, and I suspect that's what she's taking her time working through now, but she has
to answer that question."
Liberal groups have been pushing forward with an effort to convince Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to challenge Clinton
from the left on economic issues.
MoveOn.org, one of the groups, announced Monday that it has passed 100,000 signatures on its "Run Warren Run"
petition. Warren insists she is not running but always phrases the denial in the present tense, which some see as leaving
the door open.
Asked if there is an opening for Warren, Axelrod said, "I suppose there is.
"My suspicion is that what she's doing is trying to influence how Hillary frames her candidacy and the issues she focuses
on," Axelrod said. "I think Elizabeth is very sincere about her concerns about what's happening in the American economy,
and Hillary hasn't yet said what exactly her program will be, what she's running on. I think Elizabeth knows she's got
maximum leverage by still being in the conversation."
Many of Axelrod's fellow Obama campaign alumni are now working for Clinton's campaign-in-waiting in some capacity. Jim
Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager, for example, signed on as co-chairman of the pro-Clinton super-PAC Priorities
USA.
Two more top campaign aides, Mitch Stewart and Jeremy Bird, have joined Ready for Hillary.

J ProgressNow Colorado
Dear Fellow Progressive,
I’m writing today with a simple message. Everything you
and I have fought for in the past decade is under attack.
Click here to fight back: the most important
election you’ve never heard of is only three
weeks away .
For years, Senate President John Morse and
Senator Angela Giron have fought for our shared
values. In 2013, after victory at the polls in 2012, the
Colorado legislature accomplished a long list of goals we
have sought for years — civil unions, tuition equity for all
Colorado students, increasing renewable energy, workplace discrimination protection,
creating Colorado in jobs, and more: all in addition to a few common-sense gun safety bills in
response to tragedy and to save lives. I don’t have room to list all of the things we
accomplished, but I have never been more proud of our Colorado legislature.
The extreme right is trying to reverse not just this year’s victories, but a decade of progress
in Colorado. Their goal is to start “a wave of fear” across the nation by underhandedly taking
down two good Colorado lawmakers in wasteful, misguided recall elections. Watch this
shocking video at MSNBC and see for yourself what the leaders of the recalls are trying to
do.
Right now, no one in America needs your help more than Senators Morse and
Giron. Click here to make a donation against these recall elections today via
ActBlue . Every dollar you give will go directly to their campaigns.
If the wasteful, partisan recalls against Senators Morse and Giron succeed, the right wing
will use that to stall progress on all the issues we care about: education, healthcare, leveling
the playing field for consumers and workers, equality for all Colorado families, and creating
good-paying, sustainable jobs right here in Colorado.
I will not stand by and allow these progressive heroes to be removed from office simply for
doing their jobs. We elect leaders to make decisions, and that’s what Senators Morse and
Giron do every day. They don't deserve this. Recalls are for criminals and corruption, and we
have regular elections in America to decide who we think is best for the job.
We can’t let the constant threat of recalls over any disagreement become the
norm. Click here to donate to Senators Morse and Giron right now . Show
your support for them, and for everything we have accomplished together in our
fight for progressive change.
This election is not in November . It is September 10th -- only three weeks
away. There is no time to wait. Do not wake up the day after these elections wishing you
had done more. Donate now , and understand that this is one of the most important
contributions you’ll ever make.
Thank you,

2) Sunday interview with Andrea Mitchell (Saturday prep)
3) Monday avail in NH (w / Sunday prep)

terms, but I think she needs to nod to that mentality too, sooner rather than later.
I think calling a reporter out of the blue would check that box, but maybe either way we need
something a little more specific in here that says she will be on the campaign trail in the coming days,
and she looks forward to answering questions about this, and about her plans for America's future,

I understand that many Americans have questions about the stories they hear on the news about emails and servers. As I said
back in March, it clearly would’ve been better if I’d just used a government email account. Using a personal email account was a
mistake, plain and simple. I am committed to doing everything I can to clear up any remaining confusion about this. That’s why
I’ve asked the State Department to publish 55,000 pages of my work emails. I’ve also repeatedly offered to answer questions
before Congress and I look forward to doing so in October.
I hope the State Department and other relevant agencies will sort out as quickly as possible which emails are appropriate to
release to the public. In the meantime, my team has worked with the Department to ensure these files are stored in a safe and
secure manner. To put to rest any on-going security questions from other agencies, I have directed my team to give my email
server, as well as a thumb drive containing copies of all the emails already provided to the State Department, to the Department of
Justice.
Going forward, I will continue doing my part for transparency and accountability. I’m also going to focus on what’s most important
to everyday American families - raising incomes, making college more affordable, and helping families get ahead and stay ahead.
That’s why I’m running for President and that’s what I’ll be working on every single day.

Subject: RE: Email statement
It's a good statement. Two suggestions.
1) I can see why you might not want to sav who the turnover was to, but it seems to me omitting this may be
misinterpreted and certainly will trigger another round of questioning. This may defeat the whole point of the
exercise. The statement could be read to imply we turned over the thumb drive and server to the State
Department— which we didn't ("There they go again— misleading, devious, non-transparent, tricky etc."). I
would recommend saying "to the Department of Justice."
2) Maybe it's only me, but "hand over" seems a little pejorative— how about just "turn over"?

2016
Dear Bernie Supporter,
From day one, Bernie has said that no president, not even the best president you can possibly imagine,
is enough to take on the Koch Brothers and the billionaire class all on his or her own.
This moment requires a grassroots movement of millions and millions of people. That’s what Bernie is
talking about when he says we need a political revolution, and that’s what we are organizing through our
campaign. And after we win the election, the movement we’re building will give us the power to take back
our country from the billionaire class.
And there’s one very important step you can take right now to push our effort forward.
On October 13th — nine days from today — supporters from across the country are hosting debate
watch parties during the first Democratic Primary debate of the campaign.
Right now there are more than 2,400 Debate Watch Party events already on our website. Can
you find one and sign up to help grow our political revolution?
Yes, I will sign up and RSVP to attend a Debate Watch Party on October 13th.

One thing you can expect from the night is this: when the organizing portion of the evening is complete
and the debate is over, we’re going to immediately put people to work.
Movements are built in small steps, but this evening will be a big step forward for our political revolution.
But only if you sign up to attend a Debate Watch Party right now.
It’s been amazing how many of you are already organizing out there for this campaign. All across
America. In every community. Nothing like this has ever happened so early on any presidential campaign
in history.
I can’t to see what we’re able to accomplish together on October 13th.
All of our best,

Just wanted to thank and congratulate you for the tremendous contributions you made to the president and to
the Nation in your most recent tour in government. You made a huge difference on so many issues that
matter, and as always you managed it with grace and good humor. The dinner you and Mary hosted for the
big data team was just one of the typically generous things you did.
And your efforts will continue to bear fruit, as you started a lot of great things in motion. The upcoming
Paulson institute seminar in China is only the most recent example.
Hope you get at least some down time. And as I said before if I can help in any way on energy and security
issues please let me know.

Just so you have it in your possession, here is the draft answer I sent to Pfeiffer. Have not heard back yet.
"I have been asked to give some advice on how to organize a transition should Senator Obama win in
November. Recognizing the breadth and gravity of the problems the next president will face it is prudent for the
Obama team to give some early thought on how they would proceed with the transition into a new government. I
am happy to provide the benefit of my experince in this effort and will have nothing more to say publicly on the

Adding Tony and Sara S, and others from comms. This is going to be a challenge. I think we should give a comment on

On anonymizing tools, Ben Scott has suggested the following talking points. Boiled down, the points are:
1 -The bad guys could already get crypto — we helped the good guys get it.
2-The Internet Freedom investments in these technologies were strongly bipartisan (and remain so).
Talking Points:
>■ Secretary Clinton's Internet Freedom agenda is a signature achievement at the State
Department. She elevated human rights in a digital era to the top tier of foreign policy
issues and built a new kind of diplomacy around harnessing the power of technology
to serve the foreign policy goals of the United States.
>- The Internet Freedom programs that invest in software development were designed
to help people help themselves. Authoritarian governments will not willingly grant
freedom of expression or the right to privacy. But technology can empower people
with secure communications tools.
>• Making secure communications tools usable for the average citizen in authoritarian
societies was a central goal of Secretary Clinton's. She achieved that goal. The latest
generation of Internet Freedom technologies is so user-friendly that even Silicon
Valley giants have taken up the tools built by tiny NGOs.
>■ Of course, the leaders of America's Internet Freedom policies are aware that secure
communications technologies can cut both ways. Providing people with tools
powerful enough to resist intervention by their own governments means that our own
security services will be challenged as well. This question was thoroughly reviewed
and debated at the time the Internet Freedom agenda was launched.
>■ Secretary Clinton joined the consensus view of Congressional leaders from both
parties that supporting Internet Freedom technologies requires uncompromising
commitment to the security of users. And while we will do all we can to support the
work of law enforcement, the steadfast protection of fundamental rights around the

million to enable these innovative Internet Freedom programs. Since 2014, under
Republican leadership in Congress, the annual allocation for Internet freedom
programs has increased to $50.5 million.
>■ Following Secretary Clinton's push for Internet Freedom, uptake of these Internet
Freedom tools has grown from hundreds of thousands of regular users to more than
900 million people in 60 countries who use these technologies to exercise their rights

Hi Nick,
I’m working on a story today about the renewed debate over end to end encryption following the Paris attacks.
One thing the article explores is Sec. Clinton’s support for anonymizing tools such as Tor for political dissidents
when she was secretary and whether that may be a political liability.
Can the campaign comment on whether that support may be a liability and/ or whether Sec. Clinton has a firmer
position on government backdoors for encryption since the Re/Code interview in February where she called it a
“classic hard choice?”
My deadline is 2 p.m.
Thanks,

to take time to heal. In the interim, he has asked John Podesta to serve as a special advisor, with particular
focus on providing leadership and being a resource and decision-maker for the corporate audit.
I am copying John on this email so that you two can connect -- 1 have given him a frame of reference regarding
the objectives for the corporate audit and I know Chelsea can share even more but wanted you all to a have a
point of additional contact in light of Bruce's unexpected illness.
best.

Speech at LSE on structural challenges and opportunities in the U.S. economy
furman_2014_structural challenges opportunities_lse.pdf
Attached and at the link below please find a speech that I gave today at the London School of Economics on structural challenges
and opportunities in the U.S. economy.
The speech examines the current economic recovery before looking at the evolution of longer-term trends that have resulted in
three fundamental challenges facing middle-class incomes: productivity growth, inequality, and labor force participation. Lastly,
I discuss three structural opportunities that can help address these challenges: the slowing growth of health care costs, shifts in
energy production and consumption, and the implications of new technologies.

One final thought on this: John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress, is running the Obama transition. CAP was the most visible proponent of a
'muscular progressivism' during the Bush years, and yet the transition appears likely to bring very few muscular progressives into government. Does Podesta
really subscribe to the foreign policy ideas produced by his own organization, or does Obama simply disagree with Podesta on these issues?

Is Progressive Foreign Policy Dead on Arrival?
It will be some time before we know the full extent of Obama's ambitions on domestic policy, but progressives are sure to feature prominently in any
debate over health care, energy, banking, etc. In the realm of foreign policy, however, progressives seem already to have been marginalized, or dismissed
entirely.
Barack Obama's national security team is beginning to take shape and there is not a progressive in sight. Assuming the leaks and rumors are true, Hillary
will be at State . Jones will serve as national security adviser , Brennan will head the CIA , Gates will stay on at Defense , and Obama will be taking
counsel from Scowcroft all the while. These people are not progressives (except Clinton on domestic policy); they are generally considered to be in the
realist camp, with the possible exception of Clinton, a liberal internationalist. Jones, Gates and Scowcroft aren't even Democrats.
None of this is surprising. Obama never seemed to take progressives very seriously on foreign policy. Throughout the campaign he signaled his respect for
the foreign policy of Bush 41 , and his advisers tended to split between realists like Richard Danzig and liberal internationalists like Samantha Power. In the
one instance that Obama did genuinely excite progressives -- his call to sit down with the leaders of rogue states for direct and unconditional negotiations --
there was no formal roll out or set-piece speech announcing the policy. Instead, even supporters of the idea acknowledged that his arrival at the position
had been 'accidental,' and Obama backpedaled over the course of the campaign.
What is clear is that the split between realists and neoconservatives has been resolved, for the time being, in favor of the realists, whose titular leader,
Colin Powell, endorsed Obama at the end of the campaign. Over the last eight years this split produced some genuine personal animosity between the two
camps, and, in fact, it may have been personal animosity more than anything else that drove Powell away from McCain and into the arms of Obama. So
what had been an intra-Republican fight has now led the realists to take refuge in an ascendant Democratic party.
But the real losers here seem to be progressives. If progressives can't get their foot in the door on national security in an Obama administration, it's
difficult to imagine precisely what conditions would bring them to power, since we are unlikely to see a more liberal president for decades.
Meanwhile, in foreign policy, the fight for the soul of the Republican party - realists vs. neocons - has shifted venues, with realists drifting into prominent
positions in a Democratic administration and neoconservatives staying behind. The liberal internationalists, led by Hillary, will also be a powerful force in
the new administration, and in their battles with Obama's realists they may find willing allies among the neocons on the right. After all, liberal
internationalists have been allied with out-of-power neoconservatives before, most notably during the fight inside the Clinton administration over U.S.
policy in the Balkans.
Since progressives will have their hands full with domestic policy over the next four years, they could well be completely locked out on matters of national
security. The same fights that riled the Bush administration could then continue into the Obama administration - with different winners and losers
perhaps, but the same basic framework guiding the debate. Progressives are getting wise to this pretty quickly. From their point of view, neocons,

realists, and liberal internationalists are separated by only a few degrees of difference. Their frustration may be some small consolation to conservatives of
all stripes.
One final thought on this: John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress, is running the Obama transition. CAP was the most visible proponent of
a 'muscular progressivism' during the Bush years, and yet the transition appears likely to bring very few muscular progressives into government. Does
Podesta really subscribe to the foreign policy ideas produced by his own organization, or does Obama simply disagree with Podesta on these issues?

Dear Members of the Board,
I am pleased to announce that Donald Sussman has agreed to rejoin the CAP Board of Directors. Based on
his distinguished career and previous service on the board, I believe he would be an excellent addition.

Re: Recommendation to Appoint Donald Sussman to the Board
Recommendation for Board Action
I write to strongly recommend that the board re-appoint Donald Sussman to the CAP Board of Directors. Many
of you know Donald from his previous service on the CAP Board and from his dedicated work in progressive
politics and philanthropy. Donald served as a valued CAP director from May 2009 to May 2012, when he
resigned from all boards in order to demonstrate his commitment to an independent news source as a new
owner of Maine Today Media.
Now, he is in a position to rejoin. Donald has also had a long and distinguished career in finance.
Significantly, he has never stopped being part of the American Progress family and I am confident that his

perspective and commitment will be an important part of advancing our work. If appointed, he will participate
in the spring meeting on May 26, 2015.
If you agree with my recommendation, please (1) email Alex DeMots to let him know at your earliest
convenience at ademots@americanproaress.org , and (2) print and sign the attached proposed Unanimous
Consent and return it to Alex via facsimile (202-315-0453 ) or as a pdf via email.
Alternatively, if you would like to discuss this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration.

Note: I think the multilateral piece is hard to make simple or readily comprehensible; it has the impact of
making the exception for current programs feel broader than it would without that addition.
Look forward to discussing tomorrow. I can do a call at 815am. I have a 730am and a 9am and 10am

Subject: Why does America Torture?
[ te-kiin } to heal, repair, ami Irungfnrtn the world
Editor's Note:
The article below by Prof. Alan Gilbert raises important ethical issues that must
concern everyone on the planet. It reminds us that the most important criminal
justice legacy of the Obama Administration may be its willingness to let the
torturers go free, without any attempt to hold them responsible for their actions-
-thus signaling to future generations of torturers that the worst they might
expect is to have their acts (but not their names) revealed in public by a
Congressional investigation, and that they are free to defend their acts of
torture as "necessary" or "justified" without fear of prosecution. That, of course,
is an open invitation for the next generation of torturers to continue or even
broaden the range of people they torture and the techniques they use, knowing
that even a supposedly liberal Administration will avoid confronting, much less
prosecuting, them. Please read this article carefully and you'll see why my
reaction is to say: Shame on Obama and jail the torturers! If you appreciate this
article, and want to see Tikkun continue to publish, this is one more reason to make a tax-deductible

Why Does America Torture?
by Prof. Alan Gilbert John Evans Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies of
the University of Denver
On December 21, the New York Times called editorially for the
prosecution of torturers, based on the Senate Intelligence Committee's
6oo page Executive Summary on torture. The Times says rightly that
the US government will only be considered a defender of human rights
if it acts against these powerful torturers under the law. And beyond
the Senate report, it names Cheney and his minions as those who need
to be prosecuted, though interestingly not President George W. Bush
who is plainly guilty of ordering torture.

Why does America torture?
On December 21, the New York Times called editorially for the
prosecution of torturers, based on the Senate Intelligence Committee's
600 page Executive Summary on torture. The Times says rightly that
the US government will only be considered a defender of human rights
if it acts against these powerful torturers under the law. And beyond
the Senate report, it names Cheney and his minions as those who need
to be prosecuted, though interestingly not President George W. Bush
who is plainly guilty of ordering torture.
For the Times, in its effort to restore the law, criminal Presidents
must apparently, no matter what their crimes, must go scot-free. But
if the President need pay no attention, so much for the rule of law.

to torture and murder... See here .
As intelligence professionals like Ray McGovern have long insisted,
torture never gets useful information. Why then is it done?
In an article from Veterans Today, a journal of the "Clandestine
Community," Jim W. Dean underlines the likely planting of false
information which leads to repulsive foreign policy decisions - the
second Iraq aggression, the disgrace of black sites, the corrupting of the
European community (the carefully blacking out of names of allies in
the Senate Report by the solicitous CIA\ Obama administration), and
most importantly, the trashing of the law against torture as the
centerpiece of international law and of American law. (h/t Darrol) It is
this last point on which the Times' editorial finally touches.
Habeas corpus - the right of each prisoner to a day in court and not
to be tortured - is, as Philip Soper argues, the central feature of a
system of law as opposed to despotism. It is what
had distinguished (somewhat, if one does not disregard genocide
against indigenous people, the ordinary practice of slavery, Jim Crow
and the like, which mark American history...) the US or English system
of law from, say, the Chinese.
The Chinese Communists were modern revolutionaries, but their
view and practice of law were from the Emperors. To be just now in
Dharamsala, to hear from Ama Adhe about her torture -
see here and here - where she ended up eating the leather off
boots, and was one of three women, out of 400, who survived 3 years in
a Chinese prison in the late 1950s (she went on to be brutalized for
another 27 years; she has no hearing in her right ear so Yeshi,
the translator had to sit to her left for the questions; she has the Dalai
Lama's spirit of compassion, wanting a happy life for the Chinese so
long as Tibet is independent, and is a kind of angel...) is to understand
how barbaric the Chinese rulers were and are.
The Chinese have but to point to American practices in the black
sites and Guantanamo underlined in the 600 page Executive Summary
of the Senate Torture Report - published against the will of Obama and
the CIA under tremendous pressure from below and from some
determined Senators - and there is no difference in kind...
** *
But the clash between habeas corpus, enshrined in the Magna Carta
in 1215 and then fought over for 400 years or
the international agreements making an absolute ban on torture and
which are also centerpieces of American law (and for which the
Nuremburg and Tokyo tribunals, under American prosecutorial
leadership, executed Nazi and Japanese war criminals after World War
II), and these Chinese/ Bush-Cheney enacted/ Obama-protected
practices is noisome.
Writing for intelligence professionals, Jim Dean says that Israeli
intelligence could plant false stories, and these would gain high currency
in the US through torture. Here is the core of his account:
“'Here is why torture is a horrible problem, because corrupt
interrogators can lead a person while they are interrogating them,
telling them what they really want them to tell them and they will stop
torturing them,'” he continued [no, ripping human bodies apart is
horrible and not because of the bad information it elicits].

“'And then what will happen is that someone would submit a false
report like the Israelis, and the US intelligence... will end up torturing
two people to confirm it, and then the government actually gets hustled
in doing something based on a completely false report,'” he explained.
“'And this actually makes it a threat to the national security,
because corrupt insiders inside the government can rig events, like
they had done for the Iraq war,... to initiate a war,'” the journalist
noted."
***
There is a large element of truth here: once a government goes in
for torture, it does not get the truth and is extremely easy to
manipulate, plant false information on from on high (most likely) and
below.
•***
Dean's argument is the theory of disillusioned CIA critics of why the
US invaded Iraq yet again (now we are on the third round with
Obama...). For there is no plausible "national interest" in these elite
aggressions. They have forfeited American strength and revealed the
rottenness of American power, including its harms to most Americans.
But Dean's explanation is too convenient, blaming Israel (however
reactionary its apparent ethnic cleansing in Palestine) for what are
plainly crimes executed in accordance with (fantasies about) American
"interests"....
For the CIA, not Israel, under the urging of Bush and Cheney,
enacted torture; the decent people both there (such as Ray McGovern)
and in the FBI - Ali Soufan - have criticized these crimes relentlessly.
McGovern even rightly calls for the abolition of the CIA. See here .
I conjoin with Dean's comments a post I put up in 2009 on Mr.
Cheney "What the Torturer Knew." What is most clear about the
barbarity of American torture is that the CIA torturers were even
repulsed themselves by water boarding Abu Zubaydah 82 times,
asking in the middle to stop. For this was the practice, as the Senate
Report makes clear, of "ensuring" the prisoner knew nothing beyond
what he had confessed not under torture, a criminal policy that took
torture on many individuals, without any justifiable suspicion, to
the max.... David Addington, Cheney's "man," stilled them: "Be Men!"
But torture did not - ever, once - get any useful information (see the
Torture Report and Andrew Sullivan here and th eNew York
Times editorial below).
What it did do was seek for ties between Saddam and Al-Qaida. The
US plan was to invade Iraq from the first day of the
Bush administration - see the Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's
memoir, The Price of Loyalty. O'Neill who had been in the Ford and
Reagan administrations, was rightly confused by a cabinet discussion at
the first meeting in January 2001 which assumed
the administration would invade Iraq, making tactical plans... but
failed to discuss: why?
Bush and his minions fixed on this policy without any clear
justification. Cheney looked for any "prop" for his assertion of ties
between Al-Qaida and Saddam; the "dark side" was his means.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 686
But no such ties between Saddam and Al-Qaida existed...
Torture is also, as Elaine Scarry underlines in her remarkable
book, The Body in Pain, a way of asserting domination, of threatening
or trying to scare people widely.
But Richard Cheney is more frightening to Americans than to
others. And in fact, his policy also yields justified hatred among many -
recall the Count of Monte Christo and then ask: how many Monte
Christos has the US minted at Guantanamo...
It was Cheney's desire - underlined in his loathsome "Meet the
Press" interview last Sundav here , a former Secretary of Defense,
Ford Chief of Staff, V-P Mafioso, strutting and screaming - to get the
information he already knew by torture.
So "What the Torturer Knew" - see below - is the primary and
obvious aspect of torture. That the neocons, including Israelis or
certain influential Straussians, ran Cheney is not obvious. That Cheney
bought much of their lies/fantasies and sought to carry them out is
clear.
That Israel is becoming, in its Occupation of Palestine, more and
more of a depraved racist regime, murdering 426 children in Gaza last
summer for one Israeli child murdered by Hamas rockets, is clear.
That Israel and the United States, its endless supplier of weapons
like the named for genocide "Apache" helicopter, need to be stopped is
clear.
■***
But that the tail wags the dog, that the US, across administrations,
does not benefit from its relation with Israel, is not clear. For a long
time, the US played divide and rule in the Middle East to control the oil
and establish military bases.
Now, with the arrival of nonviolent Palestinian resistance (BDS, in
the villages and the like), with the increasing knowledge of Americans
(AIPAC has given up on the campuses now; there is too much evidence
about what Israel does, and “hasbara” - Israeli public relations - will
not cover forced transfer, lies about negotiations, and wanton
murders...).
Israel is becoming increasingly isolated even in America...
The American invasions of the Middle East starting with the first
Gulf War reveal 25 years of decline, the latest with no boots on the
ground except some mercenary “invisibles,” are signs of an
unpromising, decadent, militarist addiction.
Better the US clean up its torture act; read the Senate Report and ask
yourself - are “we” better, in kind, than the hideous IS - and the
difficulty in the answer may startle you. For as Cheney said on Meet
the Press, torturing innocents to death, hung up when their legs were
broken, in stress positions, and anal rape, no biggie. The only criminals
are those who did 9/11. ..See here .

different...
Nonetheless, Dean's commentary does suggest one route by which
those determined to plant false information can gull credulous CIA
torturers (the latter are sometimes breathed on by Mr. Cheney to
spread lies; one self-described "Troglodyte"/reactionary on the second
floor of Langley described how frightened he was when Cheney came
down and "breathed" on him).
***
But the Iraqi engineer "curveball" made up for German intelligence
a story about mobile bioweapons laboratories. Germany, a
comparatively civilized nation, did not use torture, though they
"interrogated" him for a year and a half. The engineer wanted and got
asylum in Germany. Yet both German and British intelligence warned
the US about his "information." See here .
Nonetheless, Bush and Powell also picked up and used this
"information" in speeches pushing for aggression (as Cheney planted
front page stories in theiVeu; York Times through access to Judith
Miller - via his minion Scooter Libby - and then cited thoseTimes's
stories as "evidence" for Iraqi wmds).
***
It is mainly the danger of winds blowing from the top - the thuggish
Cheney, the hapless and easily incited Bush - and the pressures of
American militarism or war complex dominated politics funded at a
trillion dollars a year (the official Pentagon and "intelligence" budgets) -
pushing things ever to the Right. The latter is what I call the "right
wing two step" in which one oligarchic party calls out for craziness
hoping to win elections given a compliant mainstream press, coupled
with the other oligarchic party putting up little fight - Obama's bombing
of Syria is the latest illustration.
Now Senator Mark Udall on the torture report, Obama on
recognizing Cuba are counterexamples, which in their difficulty/
exceptionalism - Udall and Obama no longer face elections - underline
the point.
***
The Senate Report misleadingly concentrates on the CIA, leaves aside
the criminal Bush administration. And the Times editorial restricts the
matter too much. So I also include a piece by William Boardman on 12
top war criminals, CIA director George Tenet and Mitchell and Jesson,
the “psychologist” novice interrogator /torture enthusiasts being but
numbers 11 and 12 - see also here . It is worth taking in how
extensive this program was (only Colin Powell objected to it, was
apparently out of the loop...).
But while it is surely true, for example, that Jay Bybee or John Yoo
should be disbarred, the act of rationalizing torture in a position of legal
responsibility, if Americans still value the rule of law and the physical
and moral security of citizens, is a war crime for which they should be
tried....

Page 688
Even Boardman thus adjusts somewhat to the “politics” of the
powerful. But Obama, who represented some hope when he came into
office, has become an accomplice to torture, and the next election
(unless Rand Paul is nominated and holds onto some principle) will be,
without a movement from below, between abettors of neo-cons /friends
of torturers (Hillary supports Obama's initial renunciation of water
boarding, yet opposes bringing war criminals to justice. . .see here ).
But enough pressure from below on Obama and the appointment of
an independent prosector who does his job (unlike the one who, as
the Times pointed out, was charged with finding acts of torture beyond
those permitted by the Bush administration and scandalously brought
no charges) may become possible.
I also link here to an article on the edits from the Senate Report by
the CIA/Obama of names/places of allied torturers (Poland, for
example, where one notorious black site was). This corrupt editing
underlines the wreckage of international law, of which the absolute ban
on torture is the centerpiece, brought about by the Bush
administration. But there will be a fight in Europe to restore these
things. And the UN special rapporteur on torture again called, with the
Senate report, for trials of the Bush\Cheney administration under the
Convention against Torture. Further, as the Times' editorial insists,
the US needs to repudiate these actions across the board - Cheney and
Bush and the others need to be confronted with trials and jail time
(capital punishment is a barbaric American thing so probably, despite
US legal precedent, they haven’t quite earned that...)...
Even Senator Feinstein, a collaborator with torturers, spoke up.
See here . Even the Times, which under Bill Keller, propagated the
euphemism "very harsh interrogations" and refused to look at torture,
has now spoken out strongly against it.
It is only being a decent society, having law at all, which hangs in
the balance...

Since the day President Obama took office, he
has failed to bring to justice anyone responsible
for the torture of terrorism suspects — an
official government program conceived and
carried out in the years after the attacks of Sept,
n, 2001.
He did allow his Justice Department to
investigate the C.I.A.'s destruction of
videotapes of torture sessions and those who
may have gone beyond the torture techniques
authorized by President George W. Bush. But
the investigation did not lead to any charges
being filed, or even any accounting of why they
were not filed.
Mr. Obama has said multiple times that “we
need to look forward as opposed to looking
backwards,” as though the two were
incompatible. They are not. The nation cannot
move forward in any meaningful way without
coming to terms, legally and morally, with the
abhorrent acts that were authorized, given a
false patina of legality, and committed by
American men and women from the highest
levels of government on down.
Americans have known about many of these
acts for years, but the 524-page executive
summary of the Senate Intelligence
Committee’s report erases any lingering doubt
about their depravity and illegality : In

addition to new revelations of sadistic tactics
like “ rectal feeding scores of detainees were
waterboarded, hung by their wrists, confined in
coffins, sleep-deprived, threatened with death
or brutally beaten. In November 2002, one
detainee who was chained to a concrete floor
died of “suspected hypothermia.”
These are, simply, crimes. They are prohibited
by federal law , which defines torture as the
intentional infliction of “severe physical or
mental pain or suffering.” They are also banned
by the Convention Against Torture , the
international treaty that the United States
ratified in 1994 and that requires prosecution of
any acts of torture.
So it is no wonder that today’s blinkered
apologists are desperate to call these acts
anything but torture, which they clearly were.
As the report reveals, these claims fail for a
simple reason: C.I.A. officials admitted at the
time that what they intended to do was illegal.
In July 2002, C.I.A. lawyers told the Justice
Department that the agency needed to use
“more aggressive methods” of interrogation that
would “otherwise be prohibited by the torture
statute.” They asked the department to promise
not to prosecute those who used these
methods. When the department refused, they
shopped around for the answer they wanted.
They got it from the ideologically driven lawyers
in the Office of Legal Counsel, who wrote
memos fabricating a legal foundation for the
methods. Government officials now rely on the
memos as proof that they sought and received
legal clearance for their actions. But the report
changes the game: We now know that this
reliance was not made in good faith.
No amount of legal pretzel logic can justify the
behavior detailed in the report. Indeed, it is
impossible to read it and conclude that no one
can be held accountable. At the very least, Mr.

Obama needs to authorize a full and
independent criminal investigation.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Human
Rights Watch are to give Attorney General Eric
Holder Jr. a letter Monday calling for
appointment of a special prosecutor to
investigate what appears increasingly to be “a
vast criminal conspiracy, under color of law, to
commit torture and other serious crimes.”
The question everyone will want answered, of
course, is: Who should be held accountable?
That will depend on what an investigation finds,
and as hard as it is to imagine Mr. Obama
having the political courage to order a new
investigation, it is harder to imagine a criminal
probe of the actions of a former president.
But any credible investigation should include
former Vice President Dick Cheney; Mr.
Cheney’s chief of staff, David Addington; the
former C.I.A. director George Tenet; and John
Yoo and Jay Bybee, the Office of Legal Counsel
lawyers who drafted what became known
as the torture memos . There are many more
names that could be considered, including Jose
Rodriguez Jr., the C.I.A. official
who ordered the destruction of the
videotapes; the psychologists who
devised the torture regimen; and the C.I.A.
employees who carried out that regimen.
One would expect Republicans who have gone
hoarse braying about Mr. Obama’s executive
overreach to be the first to demand
accountability, but with one notable
exception . Senator John McCain, they have
either fallen silent
or activelv defended the indefensible .
They cannot even point to any results :
Contrary to repeated claims by the C.I.A., the
report concluded that “at no time” did any of
these techniques yield intelligence that averted

Insiders mislead US based
on false CIA interrogation
reports: Analyst
US Senate Intelligence Committee released a report last week detailing
CIA torture techniques.
Sun Dec 21 , 201 4 7:43AM GMT
A political commentator says “insiders” mislead the
US government to make crucial decisions based on
false information they receive from terror suspects
under harsh tactics.
Speaking to Press TV on Thursday, Jim W. Dean, managing
editor of Veterans Today from Atlanta, said the CIA uses very
skilful interrogators who lead suspects into telling them what
they want to hear.
“It has tremendous potential for abuse because if you get
somebody like the Dick Cheney crowd looking for some kind of
a justification for launching an attack or about an incoming
threat, they can put out the word that they need confirmation
on this or that and that they need to have the interrogators
bring in people to confirm things,” Dean said.
“Here is what torture is a horrible problem, because corrupt
interrogators can lead a person while they are interrogating
them, telling them what they really want them to tell them and
they will stop torturing them,” he continued.
“And then what will happen is that someone would submit a
false report like the Israelis, and the US intelligence... will end
up torturing two people to confirm it, and then the government
actually gets hustled in doing something based on a completely
false report,” he explained.
“And this actually makes it a threat to the national security,
because corrupt insiders inside the government can rig events,
like they had done for the Iraq war,... to initiate a war,” the
journalist noted.
Dean said this is “one of the biggest threats that we face and
they are always done by insider people.”

week detailing torture techniques used by the Central
Intelligence Agency during the presidency of George W. Bush.

The report confirmed that the CIA used extreme methods such
as waterboarding, sleep deprivation, mock executions and
threats that the relatives of the prisoners would be sexually
abused.
An analysis of the report by the Nation Magazine showed that
human experimentation was a “core feature” of the spy
agency’s torture program.

What the Torturer Knew
The FBI interrogator Ali Soufan recently reported in testimony to the
Senate that he connected with Abu Zubaydah by treating his wounds and
talking to him. Abu Zubaydah gave him information which led to the
capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. As Soufan testified in answer
to Senator Lindsay Graham from South Carolina who tried to defend Vice
President Cheney, outsmarting people for information is tougher than
beating them to a pulp. Graham used to know this - he once opposed
torture. But now he said “these techniques have been used since the Middle
Ages”; there must be, he tried to suggest, a reason. Thuggery - scaring the
life out of many people by randomly brutalizing whomever one can lay
one’s hands on - is, I am afraid, the ordinary reason of corrupt kings and
princes. Waterboarding has been used since the Inquisition, as was
burning Jewish teenagers at the stake (see Montesquieu, Spirit of the Laws,
book 26). Thus, the mark of law and civilization at all - as opposed to
tyranny - is the absolute ban on waterboarding and torture. The rump
elements of the Republican Party have zealously become the partisans of
Torquemada.
In one of now “Judge” Jay Bybee’s torture memos released recently by
Obama, it reports that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183
times in a month. This was plainly crazy even for torturers and the CIA
men who did the job apparently complained about it. Zubaydah was
waterboarded over 80 times. But Soufan had procured the only
information Zubaydah had. What the torturer wanted wasn’t information
from Zubaydah; what the torturer wanted was what the torturer already
knew.
Vice President Cheney wanted Zubaydah or anybody else (didn’t matter
who) to give up the information that Al-Qaida had ties with Saddam. The
fact that this claim was untrue and bizarre - Al Qaida is a fanatical
offshoot of the Sunnis and Saddam was secular and locked up and killed
fanatical and other Sunnis and Shia - did not interfere. Cheney is way
smart compared to most bureaucrats and politicians, but he works best
through silence and intimidation. His own ignorance was not obstacle. If
he forced enough torture, he could get a “justification” for aggressing
against Iraq. And Cheney knew with a passion that this must be right. He
even went down into the lower floors of the CIA to breathe on lower level
CIA officers and get the information he wanted. He would break his
subordinates in order to break the prisoners.
Cheney, Rice and Bush are all still quick to summon up 9/11. But not
only did they give up the search for Osama Bin Laden; they used “enhanced
interrogation,” that is torture, to try to force what they already knew out of
the tortured. That is the only thing torture is good for. Note the particular
criminality of the torture - it was not a bizarre response to 9/11; it was an

Page 694
obsessively calculated action to justify a long planned aggression against
Saddam. All the excuses for the criminals cannot hide the fact that what
they did was not an attempt to gain information about 9/11. That was not
what Cheney knew, and Ali Soufan had already done this. Note: even the
threadbare rationalizations for torture of the American establishment and
the Democratic Party (these people were desperate and had lost their
bearings because of 9/11) do not justify this policy. Gaining information to
prevent an attack from Al-Qaida had nothing to do with the
torture. Instead, it was designed to confirm a war which the “Cheney-
Rumsfeld” cabal had determined on long before 9/11. Secretary of
Commerce Paul O’Neill in his book with Ron Suskind, The Price of Loyalty
tells the fascinating story that he walked into his first cabinet meeting with
Bush and the others were discussing the tactics of going to war with
Iraq. Weren’t you supposed, he wondered, to discuss whether and why to
go to war first? He had been in the Ford and Reagan administrations and
also wondered what happened to cabinet discussions of policy. Under the
influence of Rove and Cheney, cabinet discussions under George W. Bush
only focused on politics. Perhaps that is a reason for the singular disasters
in every aspect of public policy which the Bush-Cheney regime
achieved. In any case, what the torturer did to these “high value detainees
in secret prisons” later became the American way at Abu Ghraib,
Guantanamo and Bagram. The torturer used naked power to enact his
own fantasies, which had nothing to do with protecting the United States
against another 9/11.
In addition, the use by the CIA of the techniques of the psychologists
Mitchell and Jesson, who advised the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance,
Escape) program for American soldiers who might be captured was also an
offshoot of Cheney’s move to “dark side.” But as sloppy as Cheney (instilling
fear substitutes for finding out anything) or perhaps a blowhard intimidated
by Cheney, CIA chief George Tenet could not be bothered to find out
whether either of these “psychologists” had ever done an
interrogation. They hadn’t. The FBI agent Ali Soufan knew how to get
information. In contrast, the torturer knew already what he would elicit
from prisoners. Questioning suspects had nothing to do with it. He would
see to it that the screws were applied to them until they gave up what he
knew.
The CIA did not succeed with Zubaydah (though apparently they made
him quite crazy) or Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. It did succeed with Al-Libi,
who recently died in a prison in Syria under mysterious
circumstances. Under torture, Al-Libi told the CIA what Cheney wanted to
hear. Colin Powell then prepared his February 16, 2003 UN speech, trying
to weed out some believable claim among the Cheney/neocon fantasies by
going to CIA headquarters for four days and throwing away papers in
disgust. Powell tried to resist the craziness, but his obsequiousness to the
President meant that he had ultimately to choose something that the
torturer knew. He settled on Al-Libi’s words under torture (he may or may
not have known that Al-Libi was tortured). He gave a speech in which the
only true things he said were his name and that he was Secretary of State of
the United States. As his assistant in the State Department, Richard Haas
(one of many decent civil servants who resigned from the Bush
administration) later said, “It was the most embarrassing speech he gave in
his life.”
The torturer knew what he wanted. But there was a huge anti-war
movement of which I was a part, largely unaddressed in the mainstream
press. The invasion of Iraq - an act of aggression, without even a UN
Security Council sanction - was never a popular war. Even the initial
blitzkrieg and careful close-up photographing of the toppling of a statue of

Saddam deeply impressed only the mainstream or access media, the talking
heads who all say what will get the President and Vice-President to give
them access. The New York times via Judith Miller printed the words of
Ahmed Chalabi (the corrupt Iraqi exile the neocons, especially Cheney
relied on) on the front page. Cheney then invoked the New York Times on
Meet the Press the same day: “Even the Times agrees.” Everyone needs to
say what the Vice President already knew.
There is something deeply dishonorable about a war waged at all costs,
with threadbare stories justifying it. The administration could not find
weapons of mass destruction. It could not find ties to Al-Qaeda. Still what
the torturer knew possessed others even prestigious Democratic Senators
like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden who feared to be thought weak on
"national security." What the torturer knew passed for American wisdom
even in the mainstream news downplaying and distorting
protests. Months and months passed, and later there was a stolen election
(exit polling which has never been wrong in Presidential elections indicated
that Kerry had won). For another four years, the torturer sailed on.
What the torturer knew was a lie that served the
torturer. What the torturer knew betrayed what had been
decent in American policy (at least the CIA tortured in the dark,
though foreign minions) and had made America comparatively
respected in the world. What torture obtains is the fantasy that
the torturer knew. That is the only truth in the show “24.” which
is television for the torturer. That torture elicits only the
torturer's fantasies is the truth about torture. That it reveals
only the degradation of the torturer - Cheney strove long to
remain silent and hidden - is also the truth about
torture. Unless President Obama appoints a bipartisan
commission to gather the facts or Attorney General Holder
appoints a special prosecutor, torture will remain the truth
about the United States of America. Barack Obama is decent
and knows better than this. He courageously released the 4
torture memos unredacted over the yelps of four former CIA
heads. The legal side of the case - that American officials
plainly tortured and that the legal advice on which they
supposedly authorized the torture was thrown together after
the torture had already been ordered and occurred, and would
not, if a student had thrown it together hastily late at night,
have passed a beginning law school class - is now clear
internationally and even here at home. It remains to be seen
whether Obama will reveal more information about torture, or
whether the Democrats will slide back into acquiescence. Will
what the torturer knew be enshrined in an American police
state in which citizens can be indefinitely detained and tortured
at the whim of a President - as Jose Padilla was turned “into a
chair” according to his lawyers in his three and a half years

Reader Supported News
Obviously guilty: two presidents and much of two
administrations
According to recent polling, something like half of all Americans who
were asked questions weighted to support torture answered that the
torture was "justified." The good news here is that something like half
of all Americans, responding to push-poll type questions, still aren't
willing to say the government is justified in torturing in their name.
The more serious question is why "respected" polling
organizations use biased questions and why "respected" news
organizations report the results uncritically. ABC News /Washington
Post asks about "treatment of suspected terrorists" (no hint that
innocents were tortured). Pew frames the question with "the
September nth terrorist attacks" (no hint the torture went on for
years after). CBS News uses a false choice, "sometimes justified" versus
"never justified," as well as calling the victims "suspected terrorists."
HuffPost also uses "suspected terrorists" and adds "details about future
terrorist attacks" to load the question further (no hint that no such
person with such details has yet been identified).
In other words, we have dishonest polling organizations asking
dishonest questions that dishonest media report as if they were not
dishonest. And still something like half of the manipulated poll-takers
are unwilling to endorse torture. That is a source of hope. Especially if
some pollster would ask people if they think torture is legal anywhere?
Or maybe some pollster could ask people if they know how many times
Bush and members of his administration have been convicted as war
criminals for committing torture and other cruel, inhumane and
degrading treatment of people. The answer is: once. In 2012, the Kuala
Lumpur War Crimes Commission tried Bush and seven others in
absentia. Bush and the others refused to participate. Kuala Lumpur's
attempts to arrest Bush in Canada were blocked by the Canadian
government.
George Bush and Dick Cheney knew perfectly well that what they
wanted others to do in their name was both torture and illegal; that's
why they went to such lengths to get compliant lawyers to call it
something else and say that other thing was legitimate. So the list has
to begin with them. Where it ends is a long way beyond 10. Everyone
on the list is almost surely a participant or accomplice in years of
torture. Each, at a minimum, needs to be publicly examined under
oath, subject to all relevant law, including perjury.
Top 10 Government Torturers, 2001-2014
1. George Bush . As president, he's accountable for all the acts of his
administration, especially the ones he ordered and/or approved. An
anonymous CIA spokesman says Bush "fully authorized
torture. " Karl Rove says Bush knew about and approved of torture,
and participated in it, as did Rove. Dick Cheney says Bush knew and
approved. In early 2008, Bush vetoed legislation designed to control
the CIA, including a ban on waterboarding. Congress failed to over-
ride the veto. Bush was convicted in Kuala Lumpur in 2012.
2. Dick Cheney . The vice president says he knew, he approved, and
he would "do it again in a minute." He has famously promoted " the
dark side ." He was convicted in Kuala Lumpur in 2012.
3. Condoleezza Rice , National Security Advisor, knew, approved,
10/18/2016

Page 697
and participated. She has pleaded bad memory to Congress, but still
publicly defends torture now. Her assistant and successor, Stephen
J. Hadley, was either in the loop or unbelievably feckless, as were an
unknown number of staffers and members of the National Security
Council .
4. Andrew Card , White House chief of staff, knew, approved, and
participated , even though he's a Life Boy Scout. Why should Card, who
accuses Barack Obama of misleading the American people , continue
as president of Franklin Pierce University? Card's successor, Joshua
Bolten . and an unknown number of other White House staffers are
almost surely accomplices. The son of a CIA father, Bolten is a lawyer
who teaches at Princeton despite his ties to torture as well as a
contempt of Congress citation for stonewalling in another matter.
Bolten is also co-chair of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund , a non-profit
organization that's supposedly helping a country the U.S. has tortured
for the better part of two centuries.
5. Alberto Gonzales . As White House Counsel, and later as Attorney
General, he not only knew, approved, and participated, he was one of
the main legal apologists for the torture regime. His
successors, Harriet Miers , an especially close Bush aide, and Fred
Fielding , a Watergate survivor thought by some to be Deep Throat,
both likely knew and remained silent about official
torture. Fielding stonewalled Senate requests for documents relating
to torture. Gonzales was convicted in Kuala Lumpur in 2012. Why
should they not be disbarred?
6. Jay Bvbee . As an Assistant Attorney General under the late (but
guilty) John Ashcroft, Bybee was in charge of the Office of Legal
Counsel, the office that decides what's legal, subject to reversal only by
the attorney general or the president. Bybee was the midwife of Bush
torture policy justifications, a number of legal memoranda that allowed
the Bush administration to claim that torture and other crimes were
legal. These are generally known as the " Torture Memos " and
illustrate the workings of a fine legal mind operating without
conscience . Before some of his torture memos became public, Bybee
was confirmed to a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. In 2013,
Judge Bybee ruled, in an apparently gross conflict of interest , that
government personnel should be immune from any liability for torture.
Why should he not be disbarred? Or impeached? Bybee was convicted
in Kuala Lumpur in 2012.
7. JohnYoo . Working in the Office of Legal Counsel under Bybee,
Yoo was the prime author of several of the torture memos, built on the
philosophical premise that there are no constraints on the president's
power as commander-in-chief (a legal coup d'etat effectively rendering
the Constitution irrelevant and the president omnipotent, all done in
secret). In 2005, Yoo publicly affirmed the authority of the president
to order the crushing of an innocent child's testicles. In 2009, Barack
Obama revoked Yoo's torture memos, but in 2010 a secret
proceeding in the Justice Department "cleared" Yoo of wrongdoing.
These days, Yoo continues to protect torturers in the White House,
while shifting any blame to the CIA. He continues to teach lat at the
University of California, Berkeley. Why should he not be disbarred? He
was convicted in Kuala Lumpur in 2012.
8. David Addington . Legal counsel (and later chief of staff) to Dick
Cheney, Addington was by many accounts among the hardest of the
hardliners driving to the dark side, backed by Cheney's full authority.
He knew, he approved, and he participated in U.S. torture program
and their legal fig leaves . His predecessor as chief of staff,
10/18/2016

Page 698
lawyer Scooter Libby , also knew, approved, and participated in
torture. He was convicted of perjury about other government crimes
and disbarred (temporarily). Addington is now a vice president at the
Heritage Foundation. He was convicted in Kuala Lumpur in 2012. Why
should he not be disbarred?
9. Donald Rumsfeld . As Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld knew,
approved and participated in torture programs wherever the military
went. Abu Ghraib . Bagram . Guantanamo . And other
places, some unknown . Rumsfeld expresses no remorse, least of all in
the documentary " The Unknown Known ." Rumsfeld's deputy, Paul
Wolfowitz. knew, approved, and participated in torture programs ,
seeking information to justify the war on Iraq. He is now a senior
fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. William Haynes , general
counsel for the Defense Department, knew, approved, and participated
in torture programs. For trying Guantanamo prisoners, Haynes
designed the military commissions that were later ruled
unconstitutional. In a 2002 memo , Haynes blocked further
waterboarding of Guantanamo prisoners , citing the Armed Forces
"tradition of restraint." Rumsfeld and Haynes were convicted in Kuala
Lumpur. Why should Haynes not be disbarred?
10. James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen . Private contractors and
PhD psychologists who call themselves Dr., Mitchell and Jessen
were paid $81 million (on a $180 m ill ion contract) to torture
people . Both are retired Air Force officers on government pension.
Reportedly the CIA has indemnified them against liability for any
crimes they've committed. They were hands-on torturers and know,
literally, where at least some of the bodies are buried. CIA general
counsel John Rizzo (who also knew, approved, and participated in
torture) called Mitchell and Jessen's techniques " sadistic and
terrifying ." No one knows how many private contractors, like
Blackwater and others, tortured, disappeared, or murdered people, but
they should be brought to account.
11 . George Tenet . The Clinton- appointed head of the CIA is awash in
torture-guilt, but that pales compared to his role in lying the U.S. into
an aggressive war in Iraq, one of the highest war crimes. In 2004, Bush
gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he should give
back. In 2007 he was still saying, " We don’t torture people ." His
successors, especially Porter Goss and Michael Hayden , may have
tidied up the CIA a bit, but they held no one accountable for the crimes
they continued to deny . The new Director of National
Intelligence. John Negroponte , forced Goss out at the CIA in favor of
Negroponte's deputy Hayden , then still a four-star Air Force general.
As ambassador to Honduras, Negroponte was immersed in the dirty
wars of Central America and all the unaddressed crimes the U.S.
sponsored there. In 2004, when the CIA inspector general reported
that the CIA was violating the Convention Against Torture, assistant
attorney general Steven Bradbury in the Office of Legal Counsel wrote
three more "torture memos" to quash the inspector general's concern.
The new CIA head, John Brennan , remains in denial and cover-
up mode.
How does any nation recover from being a rogue state?
Even though this top 10 list includes way more than 10 people guilty of
participating in torture, it's by no means an exhaustive list of all the
government workers with greater or lesser culpability for crimes
against humanity over the past three presidencies. Kidnapping,
euphemistically called extraordinary rendition , grew popular in the
Clinton administration and there's no reason to believe our government
10/18/2016

Page 699
has abandoned the practice, any more than the government has given
up torture, illegal detention, or assassination. The U.S. maybe less of a
rogue state now than it was a decade ago, but it's still far from an
honorable member of the international community that accepts
accountability under international law.
To be clear, torture has long been a chronic, low level vein of criminality
by U.S. government operatives, with bipartisan collusion at least since
the beginning of the Cold War. Torture (and murder) was endemic to
the American Indian Wars of the 19th century and to U.S.
military predation in the Philippines (1899-1913), where Mark Twain
described the troops as " our uniformed assassins ."
The U.S. Defense Department, formerly the War Department, has
considered torture one of its options during its entire existence, used
sparingly perhaps by the U.S. government but encouraged among our
proxies around the world. Starting in 1946, the School of the
Americas (now known euphemistically as the Western Hemisphere
Institute for Security Cooperation) has periodically trained the military
officers of Latin American dictatorships in the uses of torture in
peacetime.
The CIA and its proxies have used torture on an as-needed basis since
the CIA was created in 1947. The CIA's Phoenix Program in Viet-Nam
combined torture and assassination in a years-long terror campaign
against the Viet Cong (also terrorists). What the CIA did in Laos,
Cambodia, and elsewhere is less well known (if known at all) but not
less ugly and criminal. Some sense of official atrocity can be inferred
from the CIA torture manuals supplied to Central American
dictatorships during the Reagan administration.
Even in the context of longstanding, institutionalized official torture —
Torturers 'R' US, in effect — the Bush administration took American
government crime to a new level not seen in official circles since a
similar panic produced the Salem witch killings. What George Bush,
Dick Cheney, and their accomplices did out of blind fear was to embrace
torture as right and just. Previously, even the structure of torture
programs reflected guilty knowledge that the practice is abhorrent,
hence better done by others on our behalf whether in Iran or
Argentina, Iraq or Guatemala, wherever perceived witches threatened
supposed American interests.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on counterterrorism and
human rights is a British lawyer named Ben Emmerson . Regarding the
CIA torture report, he issued a statement saying , in part:
"The individuals responsible for the criminal conspiracy revealed in
today's report must be brought to justice, and must face criminal
penalties commensurate with the gravity of their crimes.
The fact that the policies revealed in this report were authorised at a
high level within the US Government provides no excuse
whatsoever. Indeed, it reinforces the need for criminal
accountability.
"International law prohibits the granting of immunities to public
officials who have engaged in acts of torture. This applies not only to
the actual perpetrators but also to those senior officials within the US
Government who devised, planned and authorised these crimes.
"As a matter of international law, the US is legally obliged to
bring those responsible to justice... States are not free to maintain
or permit impunity for these grave crimes.
"It is no defence for a public official to claim that they were acting on
superior orders...
"However, the heaviest penalties should be reserved for those
10/18/2016

Page 700
most seriously implicated in the planning and purported
authorisation of these crimes... There is therefore no excuse for
shielding the perpetrators from justice any longer.
The US Attorney General is under a legal duty to bring criminal
charges against those responsible.
"Torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction. The perpetrators maybe
prosecuted by any other country they may travel to. However, the
primary responsibility for bringing them to justice rests with the US
Department of Justice and the Attorney General." [emphasis added]
The Obama administration has a moral and legal duty to bring American war
criminals of three administrations to justice. Not to do so is to continue to use
American exceptionalism as a justification for the worst crimes against
humanity. The national precedent is to honor those most responsible for
government crimes, but what honor is there in that?"

Sweetwater, TX -- Sweetwater was once known for hosting the world's largest rattlesnake
"roundup" -- 12,000 reptiles every year. Now it calls itself "the world's wind capital" and, by
the end of the year, turbines there will be pumping out 3,000 megawatts of wind to provide
green power to America's electricity customers. Sweetwater is the County seat of Nolan
County, which by itself would rank as the world's fourth-largest nation for wind power --
boasting more wind than the entire state of California. The rattler-friendly pastures and
cotton fields around Sweetwater are dotted with General Electric, Siemens, and Toshiba
turbines -- big ones, some generating 2.3 megawatts a pop.
T. Boone Pickens was first known as an oil and gas man and then as a corporate raider,
but these days he is jousting to topple Sweetwater from its title. Flying with me to visit his
wind operations in Sweetwater, he makes it clear that his next wind project is big, Texas-
style -- 4,000 megawatts up in the Panhandle north of here. Pickens just doesn't believe
that America's energy future is in oil any more. He dismisses the current calls for opening
up the coast to drilling, saying that the government's official estimates of oil and gas
reserves are wildly inflated -- "the geology just isn't there."
Pickens is infuriated by our continued and increasing addiction to imported oil, which he
says now costs us $700 billion a year, and will soon climb to an even trillion. (He is
watching the market as we fly, and as oil hits $143 a barrel, the Dow plummets. Boone
notes "well, my securities are going to go down, but my commodities book will make up for
most of today's loss." Pickens is long on oil, meaning he is betting that the price keeps
going up.)
To put it plainly, T. Boone Pickens is out to save America.
But how can wind power, which generates electricity, help us out of our imported oil
dilemma? Long-term, it will be through plug-in hybrid cars. But Pickens doesn't think we
can afford to wait for the long term, so he's offering an audacious alternative vision --
generate enough wind so that America no longer needs to use natural gas to generate
electricity, and then use that gas instead to power up to one-third of our vehicle fleet with
compressed natural gas (CNG).
The conversion is clearly feasible. CNG cars are already normal in countries like Argentina,
where they cost no more than conventional models. The barriers in the U.S. have been the
resistance of the major oil companies and that we would need to install CNG pumps at
service stations. But many fleets already burn the fuel, which is much cleaner, and emits
about one-third less carbon than gasoline. And CNG now has another advantage: It costs
about half as much as gasoline does. If we were to convert any significant part of the U.S.
fleet, the resulting decline in world oil demand would actually reduce oil prices, potentially
sharply. It's probably the only short-term (2-3 year) strategy that might.
How to recruit the necessary public support? This would take, it seems to me, a
10/18/2016

government mandate to get the distribution network in place. After all, the oil industry has
hardly rushed to install E85 pumps for ethanol. We can expect that it will fight any effort to
break its monopoly. And the auto industry would need to be more than a passive partner if
we're going to get enough CNG vehicles rolling off the assembly lines to make a
difference. Will it embrace this play? Lastly, the millions of Americans who own gasoline-
powered trucks and SUVs would need to start buying affordable CNG-conversion kits for
their vehicles to lower their driving costs. Pickens says he has a game plan, and will
announce it next week.
Who knows? I certainly never expected to be inspecting wind operations with Pickens or to
be hearing his scorn for the current political notion that we can somehow drill our way out of
the oil-price crisis. He's certainly likely to draw an audience that a green wind-power
advocate from the Sierra Club could never command. I think we should all stay tuned.

Subject: Priv & Conf: Governance Review Update
Dear Bruce and John— I am writing to give you an update on the progress of our governance review work since my November 11 update.
UPDATE
First, we completed 38 interviews (more than double the original estimate); we reviewed governing documents for the Clinton Foundation and its
affiliates; we prepared an organization chart of the Clinton Foundation and its affiliates and other offices/activities of the President; we reviewed Doug
Band's Friday, November 18 memorandum addressed to us and compared its points with our documents and officer/staff comments as we prepared
our remarks; we compiled the results of all these interviews and document reviews into our oral report; we sorted the interview comments into
"theme sheets"; and we presented our oral report at our meeting on Wednesday, November 23.
Second, as requested at the November 23 meeting, we redacted and reformatted the theme sheets and delivered them to the two of you and to
Chelsea for your confidential information.
Third, we prepared and delivered to you on Saturday, December 3, our draft governance review memorandum and a draft checklist of
recommendations.
Fourth, we researched and delivered to you on Tuesday, December 6 sample COO position descriptions.
BILLING
Our billing group advises me that through December 7, we have recorded 298.5 hours of work giving rise to a discounted fee of $176,412.
Disbursements and similar charges come to $502. This is below the $200,000 fee that I estimated at our first meeting, even though the scope of work
expanded significantly as events unfolded and our timeframe for completion was accelerated. It is also below the fees for many governance reviews,
which often total about $300,000, as we had discussed at that first meeting. Bruce, I know that you wanted the bill to be lower but I believe that you
are aware of the additional work that we have been asked to do and have done along the way.
Since the Clinton Foundation's taxable year is a calendar year that ends 12/31/11, I thought that you might want a portion of this total amount billed
and paid this year. In that way, we and you could for optics purposes spread the billing and payment cycle over two Form 990 reporting years 2011 and
2012. For example, I could prepare and send you an invoice Monday for governance review services for half of the total which the Foundation could pay
before 12/31 and then send a second bill in January 2012 for the remainder (and any new work you might ask us to do).
Please advise if you would like me to bill the Foundation in that manner. If not, please advise how you would like me to proceed.
Please also let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything further that you would like us to do at this time.
With best regards,
Victoria

Rep. King Goes Birther: Suggests Obama's Parents Teleerammed Fake
Hawaii Birth Announcement From Kenya
Bv Scott Keyes on Aug 1, 2012 at 9:28 am
Rep. Steve King (R-IA)
Try as they may, Republicans just can't seem to kick their birther habit.
The latest GOPer to dabble in the ridiculous fantasy that President Obama wasn't actually born in the United States: Rep. Steve
King (R-IA).
During a tele-townhall meeting late last week, King was asked about his views on whether President Obama is a natural-born
American citizen. The Iowa Congressman noted that his staff had investigated the matter and found birth announcements in the
two Hawaii newspapers the week after Obama's birth. However, King went on to float the absurd notion that his parents "might've
announced that by telegram from Kenya."
KING: We went down into the Library of Congress and we found a microfiche there of two newspapers in Hawaii each of which
had published the birth of Barack Obama. It would have been awfully hard to fraudulently file the birth notice of Barack Obama
being born in Hawaii and get that into our public libraries and that microfiche they keep of all the newspapers published. That
doesn't mean there aren't some other explanations on how they might've announced that by telegram from Kenya. The list goes
on. But drilling into that now, even if we could get a definitive answer and even if it turned out that Barack Obama was
conclusively not born in America, I don't think we could get that case sold between now and November.
Watch it:
The fact that this "issue" even still needs to be addressed is beyond silly. If Obama's birth certificate itself isn't enough to
convince the likes of Steve King and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio about where the president was born, no amount of evidence will.

Yesterday, ThinkProgress reported on Rep. Steve King's (R-IA) comments that
"there's something wrong with" outlawing dogfighting when "people fighting" is legal. King has since tried to backtrack from the
claim, arguing that while his words were "distorted," he still believes that "we've crossed a moral line" by "elevating animals up
to above that of humans."
In explaining himself, King argues that animals have more rights than fetuses, and suggests that liberals have so devalued life,
that a man can rape a young girl, kidnap her, force her to undergo an abortion across state lines, and then "drop her off at the
swingset....and that's not against the law in the United States of America." Watch it:
King also claimed that he has broken up more dog fights than he started and has instructed his staff "to post three of those
family dogs up on the Facebook page tonight so you can see what goes on in our house."

Sub'ecT ^9 campaign] Huff Post from Creamer -- Don't Americans Deserve Health Care As Good As
French?
Don’t Americans Deserve a Health Care System as Good as the One In France?
A few years ago there was a great uproar from the Right Wing against France because its government opposed the War
in Iraq. The Republican Congress went so far as to rename the “French Fries” in the Congressional cafeteria “freedom
fries.”
Of course, the Republican response was stupid and parochial - and not many years after, most Americans had come to
agree with the French that the War in Iraq was a huge mistake.
I think of myself as an internationalist, but my latent sense of nationalist competitiveness is indeed aroused by the fact
that, per capita, France spends less than half of what we do on health care and yet the World Health Organization ranks their
health care outcomes as number one in the world, and we are only 37 th .
We spend $7,290 per person and end up in 37 th place. They spend only $3,601 and they are number one. That’s just
not right.
On the average, Frenchmen live almost three years longer than the average American. That’s infuriating.
What’s more, every legal resident of France is covered by health insurance, and in the U.S. 46 million people are
uninsured. When someone in France goes to the hospital, everything except a small co-payment is covered — it’s that
simple.
The government doesn’t deliver health care in France. Private doctors and hospitals do most of that. It just provides
health insurance for everyone.
If you walk into one store and a suit you like costs $600 - and next door the very same suit is $300, most people would
call you a chump for spending $600. In this case the French are paying $300 and getting a better suit. What are we, idiots?
I, for one, refuse to believe that we are not as smart as the French. I can’t believe that we will willingly allow ourselves
to continue being fleeced by the private insurance executives who make millions off our current broken health care system.
In their private moments, those executives must not believe their luck. They are laughing all the way to the bank —
laughing at us that we could be such suckers — and doing everything they can to keep things just the way they are.
Just today, they and their Republican defenders in Congress will try to prevent the Senate Finance Committee from
ending the current practice (put in place by Bush and the Republicans) of subsidizing private insurance firms 14% to provide
Medicare Advantage members the same benefits as Medicare. Do they think we are complete fools?
President Obama’s health insurance reform plan finally offers us a chance to end the national embarrassment of being the
world’s biggest health care chumps. We can finally begin the process of ending the stranglehold of private insurance
companies over our health care system with strong regulation, and by offering Americans a choice of keeping their private
insurance or joining a strong public health insurance plan.
Of course the private health insurance companies hate the thought of a public health insurance option because it would
force them to compete, cut profit margins, cut executive salaries, and control costs - just what America needs. And most
Americans understand that. In a poll conducted just a week ago, 62% said they would be more likely to support President
Obama’s health insurance reform proposal if they had a choice of a public option. Only 28% said they would be less likely.
The only reason we wouldn’t get a public option is if the insurance companies and their allies are allowed to hold our
health care hostage by threatening to stop any form of health insurance reform if Congress limits their unfettered ability to
fleece us through the current system. It is up to us to make sure that doesn’t happen.

John,
I hope this note finds you well. My apologies for the late notice, but we want to update you on a very recent discussion and invite
you to join a special meeting of CGI's board of directors next week, likely next Tuesday, 12/11, to assess a potential significant
investment in a digital strategy for CGI.
Earlier this week, we met with Chelsea to discuss CGI's digital strategy. She has subsequently asked to reconvene board next
week, while Bruce and Eric are back in NYC for other Foundation meetings, to review the proposal (I will distribute a briefing
shortly). In order to accommodate President Clinton's schedule, we're currently looking at a time next Tuesday, December 11,
between 12:30 - 2:30 PM. We hope to have a time finalized by tomorrow.
You are welcome to join this discussion, if available. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

GOVERNOR
JACKHATCH.COM // #IOWASFBXSMSTABT
Dear John,
Yesterday Jack went head to head with Governor Branstad during the Iowa Press debate at
the Iowa State Fair. It was a clear victory for Jack. He was calm and caring - gubernatorial -
in comparison to Branstad's defensive fumbling and hot temperament.
Help us get the word out by making a contribution of £5, S20. or $50 today.
During the debate Governor Branstad spent a lengthy amount of time defending his
actions in office, including the multiple scandals that have rocked his administration -
the revelations of cronyism in state government, dumb economic development deals, and
unconstitutional overreaches of power.
When asked about his vision for the future, Branstad looked to the past, blamed the federal
government, and never offered his own plan. Jack on the other hand was able to clearly
articulate specifics of his vision to make progress for Iowans. Jack talked about better
infrastructure, better education and better jobs. Jack had spoke clearly and concisely, while
Branstad rambled on without answering questions.
"I've been governor through a lot of disasters" said Governor Branstad. The crowd
laughed and agreed. It was not a great moment for Branstad. What was most concerning to
me was his dismissal of the 2008 disaster that crushed so much of Eastern Iowa. He
categorized it as just one of many that happen each year in our state. It was a put down for
all who have ever worked hard to help their community recover.
Stop the governor's disasters. Contribute S50. $20 or $5 to our campaign today.
The Des Moines Register's political columnist summed up the debate by saying "For the first-
time debater, Hatch stood up to the pressure. He needed to give Iowans a reason to tune
in to this campaign, and he did that Thursday night."

Best always,

Hi John -
Thanks for signing the book for my father - I'm sure he'll get a real kick out of it.
I'm not looking to leave CAP, where I am very happy, but the pull of working for the new administration is strong.
I was hoping you could give me your advice on the best way to proceed.
I am most interested in serving as an FEC Commissioner. The President will have the opportunity to fill two of
the Democratic seats next year. I'm currently helping Bob Lenhard with FEC transition work.
If they need someone to work on election/ethics/lobbying policy in the White House, I'd love to do that. I'd also
be interested in the Office of Legal Counsel at DOJ or in any agency where I could help implement significant
structural or regulatory changes.
Debbie knows I'm looking into this. I've emailed with Mel as well. My resume is attached.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Best,
Alex DeMots

For months some nervous Republicans have pressed Senator John McCain to talk more about his experiences
as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. While his biography is well known in some circles, they argue, the details

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. --Republican John McCain said Monday that drilling for oil off the U.S. coast is an
essential part of any plan to lower gas prices and reduce dependence on foreign sources, and he criticized
Democrat Barack Obama for opposing it. ...McCain called Obama the "Dr. No" of energy. But McCain once was
too.

The Education Of Douglas Holtz-Eakin? (Atlantic Online 7/28/08)
By Marc Ambinder
"I used to say that Barack Obama raises taxes and John McCain cuts them, and I was convinced I stand
corrected." -- Douglas Holtz-Eakin, chief domestic policy adviser for Sen. John McCain, in Time.
In most campaigns, there are internal battles between intellectually honest policy folks and consultants who want
to create the clearest contrasts possible. Even though McCain has promised not to raise taxes, he has never
ruled out accepting a payroll tax increase in order to shore up Social Security.

McCain adviser says McCain will ditch cap-and-trade if elected. (ThinkProgress 7/28/08)
Earlier this month, conservative pundit Larry Kudlow caused a stir when he reported that a "senior McCain
official" told him that McCain was off cap-and-trade, his signature greenhouse gas reduction plan. The McCain
campaign quickly responded that the notion the Senator may be backing off cap-and-trade is "totally false." But
Kudlow may have been right after all. Last Friday, McCain adviser Steve Forbes told Glenn Beck that McCain's
environmental plan is not going to "get very far" under McCain and will be abandoned as "people start to
examine the details."

Bush forced Maliki to back down on withdrawal in 2006. (ThinkProgress 7/28/08)
Earlier this month, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced that he was in "negotiations" for "a timetable"
for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. The Bush administration initially scoffed at Maliki's statement, but a
little over a week ago, the White House embraced a "general time horizon" for the reduction of U.S. troops.
Gareth Porter reports today that this is not the first time Bush and Maliki have clashed over timelines. In fact,
soon after Maliki took office in 2006, Bush quashed an Iraqi proposal for a withdrawal timetable:

Dear John,
How are you? I hope everything is well. Also hope you can make it back to Italy some time soon.
On my side, I am good and still in Rome, in the process of integration into SunEdison, which became one of
our shareholders last summer. Do you happen to know Cathy Zoi? She has been appointed to lead the rural
electric utility company that SunEdison is planning to launch to bring electricity to remote areas of
developing countries. It is an interesting idea and one I would like to work on in the future. I have seen
reading her profile that she has been active in the US government and in various US no-profit organizations,
so I thought of dropping you a note to see whether you worked with her in the past.
All the best for all your work and warm regards from a hot, summery Italy.

Page 731
My father, Adalberto Chiesa, died of cancer in 201 1 . An American Field Service student in New
Jersey in the late 1950s, he always remained very passionate about American history, culture, society
and politics. As a result, he left behind him a wide collection of books in those fields, as well as a son
who shares those interests. Before passing away, he expressed to me the desire that his book
collection could continue to live in a library or university.
After overcoming some logistical hurdles, I am now meeting his desire. A selection of his books was
taken by the Johns Hopkins Bologna Center, where I studied. A couple of weeks ago, I received
confirmation from their librarian, who sent me one sample of the entries of my father's books into
the university's catalogue.
Guess what? By chance, the one sample she sent me (attached) is your "The Power of Progress",
which my dad had bought and added to his library in the summer when I was at CAP - I still have the
other copy of the book with your dedication in my house in Chiavari. Your book is now at the Johns
Hopkins Bologna Center, with a note mentioning my father's name.
I am very proud of this connection and wanted to share this with you.
Wishing you all the best on this Sunday and for the times ahead.

message that progressives are energized, unified and ready to take on the extremists who tried to shut down
our country and slash Social Security and Medicare."
“Today, we can be grateful that our government is once again open and our potential for disaster has been
temporarily averted, and that citizen’s voices played an important role during this time of national crisis.
Progressives worked together like never before to stand up to the hostage-takers and make Congress hear from
the people who were being hurt by their actions."
“But our work isn’t done. The real crisis is the lack of jobs and an economy that works for all of us. We will
continue to oppose Republican manufactured budget crises and make sure we defend critical programs like
Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. Just as we did this week, we’ll raise our voices until we
know Congress hears — and does the right thing.”

Subject: Put down the Pringles! ProgressNow 201 1 Update
JJ ProgressNow - Building the online progressive movement state bv state
February, 2011
When I took the job at ProgressNow and ProgressNow Education to be the
Executive Director, I already knew our state partners were shining examples of
progressive success. But the past month has seriously impressed me - and I'm
sure you'll be impressed as well. While many of us have felt like spending these
gray post-election days curled up on the couch, eating carbs and pretending it was
2009, the ProgressNow affiliates got back up and back in the ring without missing a
beat. Our states have been hammering the right, standing up to smear campaigns
and teaching new and experienced activists and allies skills for surviving and
thriving in the 21st century. Trust me, after reading this you'll be convinced to drop
the Pringles and get back to the gym to train for the next fight.
Here's a synopsis of some of their work - and feel free to call me or email me with
any questions, comments or ideas for how we can help you or your organization
build for progressive success.
Best,
Denise Cardinal
Executive Director ProgressNow and ProgressNow Education

What we did!
Beck and Limbaucjh came after us in PENNSYLVANIA
Over in FLORIDA , they stole the story from Ralph Reed
and Dick Morris. The Washington Post published a story
about our NEBRASKA effort. Think budget problems in
a swing state like WASHINGTON might matter? How
many people got smarter because of FLORIDA ? And in
WISCONSIN they even got to SUE the bad guys.
There's more great stuff happening in COLORADO ,
NEW HAMPSHIRE MICHIGAN NEVADA
OHIO . Read on for a full list of ProgressNow
accomplishments:
J ProgressNow Colorado
ProgressNow Colorado
Newly elected Colorado Secretary of State Scott
Gessler has a history as an attorney
representing some of the most politically
controversial right wing attack groups and
candidates in Colorado. Learning of plans by
Gessler to "moonlight" part time for his old law

Page 736
firm while serving as Secretary of State,
ProgressNow Colorado led the demand by
citizens across the state for Gessler to
abandon this plan, fraught with conflicts of
interest and the possibility of harm to fair
elections in state. The petition effort , joined
by thousands of Colorado residents,
dominated press coverage of the
controversy.
Colorado Secretary of State just announced that
he will not be moonlighting after all
resulting from "intense public scrutiny" (AKA
ProgressNow Colorado).
Progress Florida
"Damn, that was quick." St. Petersburg Times
education reporter Ron Matus, upon hearing
that Progress Florida's Stop Scott's Private
Voucher Scheme petition had surpassed
10,000 signatures.
ProgressFlorida launched the Save Our
Schools campaign with a petition drive and
Facebook page , targeting Gov. Rick Scott and
his recently proposed universal private school
voucher scheme. Numerous organizations
including Public Education Matters, Floridians
Against Rick Scott, Florida New Majority, and
others forwarded our alert to their own networks
helping us educate more than 130,000
Floridians about Gov. Scott's attack on
public education. We also took the story away
from rightwing foot soldiers, including Dick
Morris and Ralph Reed, by highlighting their
radical agenda for Florida's schools.
J ProgressMichigan
ProgressMichigan
From throwing a media spotlight on
Michigan's Fred Upton and his attack on Clean
Air Act enforcement as the new U.S. House
Energy Chair, to organizing labor and
progressive reaction to Republican Governor
Rick Snyder's State of the State address,
Progress Michigan worked behind the scenes
developing aggressive January earned media
and online advocacy effort for its partners,
serving a vital role in a state where we need to
keep fighting strong on our side.
J Bold Nebraska
Bold Nebraska
Bold Nebraska was featured in the
Washington Post for it's fantastic organizing
work to stop the T ransCanada tar sands
pipeline. Because of Bold Nebrask's work, three
bills have been introduced to regulate the
project — a stark contrast when just months
ago every state senator and the Governor told
10/18/2016

Page 737
the press they had "no role" in ensuring pipeline
regulation and safety. Almost half of Nebraska's
state legislature (both R and D) sent a joint
letter to Sec. Clinton urging her to do more
studies before deciding on the permit to allow
the pipeline to be built.
J Granite State Progress
Granite State Progress
Granite State Progress has been hard at work to
launch Camp Courage , two weekends of an
intensive training on how to talk to our
legislators, friends, family and community
members about the importance of equality
through our own stories and experiences.
Based on the model developed by the Courage
Campaign, these trainings across New
Hampshire empowered individuals to have
"Courageous Conversations" about their
personal reasons for supporting marriage
equality. Working in local teams, we established
ways to strengthen equality in our community
and at the State House, one person at a time.
J ProgressNow Nevada
ProgressNow Nevada
ProgressNow Nevada has worked to organize
and mobilize the Nevada Values Coalition
with hundreds of thousands of members and
social service clients seeking balanced
solutions to the state's budget crisis. The
coalition has garnered significant coverage in
statewide press. ProgressNow Nevada Action
highlighted freshman U.S. Representative Joe
Heck's vote to repeal health insurance reform
and showcase the hypocrisy of the
congressman's own insurance coverage while
too many Nevadans go without.
J ProgressOhio
ProgressOhio
ProgressOhio's list of work in January includes
connecting and assisting dozens of progressive
allies in the state — including the Ohio AFL-CIO,
Summit County Progressives, the Legislative
Progressive Caucus, PIRG and the Buckeye
Forest council. Like so many states, Ohio's
budget has taken center stage and
ProgressOhio is at the center of the fight
Taking on the role of communications for the
One Ohio Now budget coalition group led to
hundreds of participants at the kickoff event and
great news coverage as the legislature got to
work.

I Keystone Progress
Keystone Progress
Keystone Progress organized the second
Pennsylvania Progressive Summit in
Pittsburgh. It was attended by over 400 people,
including more than 20 current and former
elected officials. The Summit included 72
workshops with keynote speaker Rev.
Jesse Jackson who inspired and
motivated the crowd . The event has since
been attacked by right wing media
including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh who
targeted Rev. Jackson's remarks, and the
Pittsburgh Tribune Review who editorialized
against PA State Education Association's
sponsorship of the Summit (We know we're
doing something right when Beck and
Limbaugh come after us!).
J Fuse Washington
Fuse Washington
Fuse Washington is the coalition lead for
budget work framing the solutions in terms
that favor our side. Our work makes sure
everyone knows what they stand for on the other
side: tax loopholes for corporations, cutting
health care coverage for families and growing
class sizes for your kids. News coverage is
reflecting this frame , changing the debate in
a big way.
One Wisconsin Now
(OWN)
One Wisconsin Now began 2011 hosting "Rock
the Pantry," a progressive rally and music event
attended by over 350 to counter the
inaugural events of the new conservative
governor and legislative majorities in
Wisconsin. One Wisconsin Now's successful
fundraiser for Wisconsin food pantries
contrasted with Gov. Scott Walker's
partisan campaign and Republican Party
fundraiser in the media, including television,
radio and print.One Wisconsin Now was at the
heart of a national news story when right wing
Juneau County District Attorney Scott
Southworth told a school that teaching age
appropriate sexual education coursework was a
form of "sexual assault of children." After filing
a lawsuit against Southworth when he failed to
fulfill an open records request about email
communications between himself and ultra-
conservative extremist organizations, he
settled the case in January, turned over the
records and paid One Wisconsin Now's full
legal fees and statutory damages.

J Courage Campaign
Yesterday, we asked you to respond to Judge Vaughn Walker's request for public comment on potentially
televising the Prop 8 federal trial that starts Monday. In less than 24 hours, an amazing 82, 103 people
have joined you in signing the letter from the Courage Campaign Institute and CREDO Action.
Thank you for signing the letter. Now we need you to spread the word by forwarding this
message to your friends urgently. Despite Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling below (please read
on), right-wing groups like the National Organization for Marriage and Focus on the Family
are gathering signatures to stop any broadcast of the Prop 8 trial. Please tell your friends
ASAP.
GOAL: 100.000 signatures. DEADLINE: Friday 9 AM:
http://www.couraaecampaign.org/TeleviseTheTrial
Dear Aniello ~
The news is spreading like wildfire. And it's both good and bad.
From a San Jose Mercury News article:
"Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker approved court-operated cameras in his
courtroom for delayed release on YouTube, but rejected a bid by media organizations
to televise the proceedings themselves for live broadcast. "
This decision is NOT final: Judge Walker is leaving the public comment period open
until Friday, pending a ruling on his decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
While we are pleased that the trial may be on a delayed broadcast via YouTube at least, our call for full
transparency -- a televised broadcast that network news and cable channels can pick up live, as it happens --
has not been met.
And, it's entirely possible that the 9th Circuit Appeals Court may overrule Judge Walker's ruling,
shutting down all broadcasting -- even a delayed daily YouTube broadcast. Lawyers representing
supporters of Prop. 8 have already opposed broadcasting the trial in any form whatsoever and are likely to fight
Walker's ruling.
Millions of lives across America will be affected by this federal trial challenging Prop 8. That's
HJ

need as many signatures on this letter as possible.

We've talked among the personal staff about HRC sending out a tweet to commemorate MLK Day, and the
following is what we came up with. We wanted everyone to see it before it goes out in about 30 minutes.
"What would MLK say if he was alive today? Much progress has been made but we must march on against

For context, here is what H RC tweeted last year:

Hi everyone.
We wanted to share a tweet HRC sent out a little while ago and give some background on it.
In short, Barney Frank reached out to us yesterday and asked if she would engage on Dodd-Frank. He made the
obvious arguments, that it would be good for her and good for him as he is spending a lot of time making the case
for why the GOP chipping away at it is such a travesty. After thinking through the language with HRC, Jake, Dan,
and Philippe, we tweeted the below.

A Field Guide to Who’s Who in the Fledgling Clinton Campaign
Republicans are already clawing for spots in next year’s presidential race, and so are the Democratic operatives who are
meeting in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s living room and her New York offices.
Mrs. Clinton, whose schedule has been unusually quiet of late, and her advisers are fielding resumes and talking to
potential campaign aides (a mix of old and new). As the presumptive front-runner, Mrs. Clinton has her pick of

talent. But several people with knowledge of the discussions say that some of the Democrats’ most gifted political
professionals have decided, for the moment, that the safest place to be is on the sidelines.
After all, in 2008, things didn’t end so well for Mrs. Clinton’s first campaign manager or her first chief strategist.
So here’s an informal and wildly incomplete guide to the Clinton 2016 campaign as it slowly, quietly and cautiously
begins to take shape (No, Mitt Romney has not called):
People to impress: Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Evelyn S. Lieberman.
Doesn’t tolerate drama: John Podesta.
Will run things: Robby Mook (and his mafia).
Dark horse: Stephanie Schriock of Emily’s List.
Spin meisters: Brian Fallon or Jennifer Palmieri (a Podesta pick)
Money man: Dennis Cheng.
Policy wonk: Jake Sullivan.
Message makers: Wendy Clark, the Coca-Cola marketing whiz, and Roy Spence, the advertising guru based in
Austin, Tex. (“Don’t Mess with Texas,” or Hillary.)
The X-Factor: Chelsea.

I'm headed to NYC on Monday for a series of meetings with the senior
staff and an all staff call, the purpose of which is to reassure
people, calm them down with respect to the audit, and let them know
that until Bruce is able to return full time, I will serve as an
advisor and senior resource to move forward program decisions and any
management reforms that may result from the audit. The senior staff
meeting is scheduled for 2:00 at the Water St HQ. Would you or
Victoria have any interest in attending that to answer any questions
concerning the nature and timing of the audit? You are probably seeing
most of these people one on one, so it may not be necessary, but I
thought it might be helpful to have them all hear the same thing at
once.
Bruce,
Do you have any concerns proceeding this way. Any messages you want me
to make sure I communicate?

I think this has taken a bit of a step backward. Yesterday's draft seemed tighter. I know you need to make significant edits for time, so I'm not
going to track changes. A few areas to look at edits/cuts:
-Feels like we now have way too much FDR
-The Republican section feels weaker not stronger. It doesn't do the humor she was looking for and it doesn't quite have the moral indictment
either.
-The section after her mother's story but before the four fights feels redundant and a bit flabby - 1 think we can tighten there
-There are some detours in the policy section - coal! - that break the rhythm and seem odd to devote so much time to. Overall, this section
is really long now.
I'll be at HQ in the morning and happy to get into more specifics and help edit/rewrite,

Friend,
Yesterday was a sad day for journalism, and a scary day for our
state.
Bruce Rauner's attacks on a veteran Chicago Sun-Times reporter
and his wife led an award-winning political journalist to resign, just
days before the election.
Rauner's efforts to conceal his business record are without
precedent. They extend now to attacking members of the press and
their families.
Stifling dissent and silencing reporters strike at basic pillars of
democracy. There's no place for that in Illinois.

SUBJECT: Don't let Bruce Rauner get away with this
Friend,
Now we know just how far Bruce Rauner is willing to go to take over
Illinois.
After news broke that Rauner threatened the female CEO at one of
his outsourcing companies, we didn't see any more reporting on the
story for days -- and now we have an idea why that might be.
Bruce Rauner allegedly retaliated against the reporter to
silence him.
It's chilling, but this is what we're up against.
Will vou chip in $5 or more right now to make sure
Rauner doesn't get away with this?
This is someone who bragged about having the money, power, and
influence to get his way.
And shortly after the Sun-Times stopped reporting on this damning
story, they announced that they were abruptly changing their policy
of not endorsing candidates. This morning, they endorsed Rauner --
without ever meeting with Governor Quinn.
Sound fishy?

Subject: Re: Battleground Survey
Hey, I want to throw a methodological curveball into the mix after
consulting with some folks.
1 . I think we need to select off of the voter file instead of doing
RDD. That will give us more ability to go deeper on the analysis
later.
2. I think with the uncertainty around the Dem nominee we should drop
the balance in the batteries-cut the Obama and HRC batteries. The
effect of this will be to exaggerate McCain movement but it will also
expose who the hardcore McCain supporters are--people sticking with
him under the best of circumstances. So, the survey design would be
something like this: opening Os, McCain ballot and attributes, message
and doubts batteries, closing ballot and attributes, demographic
questions.
This will save us time, money and it will exaggerate results--which is
what we need since we didn't since big movements last time. We can
also probably cut down to 800 sample across 20-22 mins.
Unless there are strong objections from anybody I'd like to move
forward with this.

Subject: [big campaign] please help
Please help. Meg Whitman - the former CEO of eBay and Republican candidate for Governor of California (and infrequent voter) is flying across
the country on Thursday to campaign for Republican Gubernatorial Candidate of Virginia Bob McDonnell - who as a 34 year old man on the verge
of entering elective politics wrote a graduate school thesis in which, among other things, he said that working women were a detriment to society,
that married couples should not have access to contraception and that women should not have the right to choose.
If Bob McDonnell's extreme views had won the day - Meg Whitman would have never been the CEO of a major company, would not have had
access to child care and would never have been in the position she is in today to run for public office. What is Meg Whitman thinking campaigning
with a man whose views would bar women from the work place and who as an elected official has fought against issues of important to women
like equal pay for equal work? Why would Meg Whitman campaign for a far right wing ideologue and misogynist like Bob McDonnell? Is she not
ready for prime time? or does she just no know the facts?
Please email your lists both nationally and in California and urge your members to call Meg Whitman right away at (408) 400-3887 - tell her you are
outraged that she would have the poor judgment to campaign with a man, Bob McDonnell, who has so little regard for women and families. Please
have your members call Meg Whitman at (408) 400-3887 and demand that she cancel her appearance with Bob McDonnell in Virginia and apologize
for even thinking that it is ok to campaign with someone who think families should not have access to child care, that women should not have the
right to make their own medical decisions and that women who work are a detriment to their families.
Meg Whitman is being brought to Virginia by Bob McDonnell for one reason - it's his desperate attempt to recover from the revelations of his thesis
and his real extreme views on women that have resulted in near disaster for his campaign. Please email your members - have them call Meg
Whitman at at (408) 400-3887 and tell her in no uncertain terms that it is a mistake for her to help Bob McDonnell hide his real views on women and
that it would be shameful if she allowed Bob McDonnell to use her appearance to fool voters into thinking he has the interests of women at heart
when clearly he does not.

Hi Mia-
Thanks for your support, and for reaching out with these very thoughtful suggestions. It's great to see a smart young person so deeply
engaged in the political process.
First, I've passed on your email to our digital team and asked them to take a look at your recommendations for our social media strategy. Even
a big operation like ours is always learning what people respond to online, and evolving to best communicate with people around the country.
I can see that you really care about Hillary Clinton, so I want you to have the most up-to-date facts when you're talking to your friends. Hillary
absolutely believes that black lives matter and that our criminal justice system is out of balance. She was the first candidate to address these
issues. In her first major speech of the campaign, she said we have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America
and called for an end to the era of mass incarceration. In October, she met with leaders of the BLM movement to discuss their
recommendations for making progress. Our policy team also put together an in-depth page on our website that lays out Hillary's full criminal
justice proposals, if you'd like to see more details, https://www.hillarvclinton.com/issues/criminal-iustice-reform/
We are very proud of the support we have received from the labor movement. 17 national unions and the North America Building Trades have
endorsed Hillary so far. These unions, which include the SEIU, AFT, NEA, and AFSCME, represent over 1 1 million American workers. She will
continue fighting for them throughout this campaign and, hopefully, as President of the United States.
I really appreciate your reaching out, and I hope this has been helpful. If you end up in Brooklyn sometime next year we would love to show
you around our HQ. Please keep working hard to make Hillary our next President.
Talk soon.

Print - Solar giant turns the desert green (and blue) in Gujarat _ The Times.pdf
Bruce and John:
Attached is an article from the London Times on the launch of the Gujarat solar park. The Clinton Foundation
role is mentioned and in fact the commemorative book they put out leads with us. The parks in Rajasthan and
South Africa are also moving and will be much bigger and will be primarily solar thermal. We have also been
asked to do work in China and Malaysia on solar parks based on success that we are having. It has all taken
longer than we would have hoped, but it is taking off. And unlike the cities work, this does not require too much
staff on our part.
We lost the opportunity to scale up the ground breaking pilots we conceived in waste, LED street lighting,
building retrofits, climate positive development and electric vehicles when we had to turn over the CCI cities
program to the Bloomberg Foundation. Fortunately, we do not have to end our role in the solar parks. This will
take up about $200 thousand of our $975 thousand budget this year.

Solar giant turns the desert green (and blue) in Gujarat By Robin Pagnamenta, 23 April 2012
Asia’s mightiest solar power farm has been switched on in the Indian desert state of Gujarat. It is part of a drive
to transform the region into one of the world’s leading green energy producers and to provide electricity to some
of the 400 million people who still have no access to it.
The Gujarat Solar Park, which spans a remote 3,000 acres near the border with Pakistan, started generating
214 megawatts of electricity, sufficient to power 90,000 British households, over the weekend. The huge array of
solar panels outstrips China’s 200MW Golmud Solar Park as the biggest in Asia. An official said that eventually
the facility would reach a capacity of 1 ,000MW, bigger than any other single existing solar power plant in the
world.
India, which is heavily dependent on imported coal, oil and gas for its energy requirements, is still chronically
short of electricity and is aiming to build 20,000 megawatts of solar capacity by 2020.
Alan Rosling, chairman of Kiran Energy, one of about 20 developers involved in the project, said that Gujarat
was following a unique development model for the solar farm, which was first conceived by the US-based Clinton
Foundation.
Rather than a single developer, the Gujarat Solar Park is owned by the government. It has leased out tracts of
land plus access to common services - including a grid connection, 24 hour security, access to water and new
roads - to a variety of solar developers, who will then pay an annual rent to use the facility.
Dr. Horst J. Kayser, chief executive of AEG Power Solutions, a German company which opened a plant in
Bangalore to manufacture solar panels for the park and other Indian projects, said: “Such multi-user model parks
are going to be replicated in the future due to the sheer fact that this develops the overall infrastructure and the
living standards of these areas.”
About $600 million has already been ploughed into the Gujarat Solar Park by foreign companies including
Germany’s Bosch, Japan’s Sharp and America’s First Solar as well as Indian groups like Tata.
The government of Gujarat has also pledged to purchase the electricity generated from the site at a fixed cost,
to ensure developers can be confident of future returns. “In India, there are a lot of issues around land security

and ownership as well as getting the right permits so this is really a very attractive model,” said Mr Rosling.
The Gujarat Solar Park now represents more than 25 per cent of India’s total installed solar capacity of 840
megawatts across the country.
Gujarat is already developing a second solar power park 60km away on the same multi-user principle at another
location, which is being developed with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank. The organization has
pledged funding of $500 million.
“Gujarat is clearly the solar capital of India,” said Mr Rosling, whose company has leased a 150 acre plot on the
site.
Dr Horst said India was a highly attractive market for solar, because its economy is growing at 7 per cent and
there is huge unmet demand for power across the country. India’s “abundant irradiation” - sunshine - makes
solar power a good commercial proposition, especially with the falling cost of solar technologies, he added.

Subject: [big campaign] AFL-CIO launches ad featuring union veteran
The AFL-CIO will launch an ad tomorrow in six states featuring union Vietnam veteran Jim Wasser. The ad
launch coincides with the formation of the AFL-CIO national Union Veterans Council, which will work to engage
and mobilize union veterans around economic issues. See Cillizza's story below:

http://blog.washinatonpost.com/thefix/2008/07/aflcio goes after mccain in ba.html
AFL-CIO Goes After McCain in Battleground States
The AFL-CIO is preparing to launch television ads in six battleground states tomorrow that take direct aim at
separating John McCain 's military service from his service and record in the U.S. Senate.
"Every vet respects John McCain's war record," says Jim Wasser, a Navy combat Vietnam veteran. "It's his
record in the Senate that I have a problem with."
Wasser goes on to detail McCain's support for spending $10 billion a month in Iraq "just like Bush" and adds that
McCain sided with the president "against increasing health benefits for veterans." As Wasser utters those words,
a picture of a person who lost both legs is shown - a controversial image sure to draw criticism from some
Republicans who will claim the AFL is seeking to politicize the conflict.
"People should let John McCain know," Wasser says at the ad's end. "His agenda is not what we need. Not
now."
The commercials, which will hit the airwaves tomorrow to coincide with the launch of the AFL-CIO Veterans
Council -- a group designed to communicate with the more than two million union vets and those currently
serving in the military.
"Our nation's veterans deserve much better than the failed Bush economy has given them," AFL-CIO President
John Sweeney said of the new ads. "With the formation of the AFL-CIO Union Veterans Council, veterans will be
front and center in the effort to put our country back on track."
The ads, which were produced by the Democratic media firm Laguens Kully Klose, will run on broadcast stations
in Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin for the next three weeks. The AFL-CIO
would not disclose the exact amount being spent on the buy, only that it was a "significant targeted buy."
A major television ad buy represents something of a strategic change of pace for the AFL-CIO, which over the
last decade has focused much more on building their member to member contact operation than on running
national television ads.
But, with 2006 clearly an election decided on national issues and 2008 seemingly headed in that direction as
well, it appears as though the AFL-CIO has decided to re-invest in television ads aimed at reaching a broader
audience.

John, here are more details regarding the finance meeting on the 14th and how it meshes with the Georgetown Law
event. We also included Friday for your reference so you could make some decisions about whether it's worth it to go
up on Thursday and stay over for a portion of Friday morning. See below, and let us know what questions and
concerns you have. Offline for dinner from 8-9 pm EDT (7-8 pm your time) but free after that.
200 Hillstarters gathering in Brooklyn
Timing: 2:00-6:00 PM (HRC from 2-5 pm, most likely, with evening reception 5-6 pm - finance staff is pretty confident that the reception
will go long, as late as 7 pm, but HRC is not scheduled to attend that. And, of course, we've been warned the entire timeline could
change if HRC's calendar dictates it.)
Location: In Brooklyn: Liberty Warehouse: 260 Conover St, Brooklyn, NY 1 1231
Here is the tick-tock for the Georgetown event. They are expecting you to stay until 1 :50 pm. Below that is your flight
option:
12:00 PM - Guests arrive and head to the alumni reception on the outdoor patio (Astor Terrace), located through the Salon.
‘Reception will be held inside the Salon in the case of inclement weather.
1 2:35 PM - Alumni and Guests are seated for the luncheon. Salads are pre-set.
1 2:40 PM - Dean T reanor welcomes alumni to the St. Regis and on behalf of Georgetown Law, thanks them for attending, and
advises them that lunch will be served and then he will return to the mic to give an update on the Law Center and introduce John
Podesta toward dessert.
1 :1 5 - 1 :20 PM - Dean Treanor makes remarks about the Law Center, introduces John Podesta (L’76), and invites John to join
him on the stage.
1 :20 - 1 :40 PM - Conversation between the Dean and John Podesta.
1 :40 — 1 :50 PM - Questions from the guests.
1 :50 FM - Dean Treanor thanks Mr. Podesta, gives him a small token of appreciation, and close the lunch.
2:00 FM - Alumni and guests depart from the St. Regis.
1 Flight option that allows your participation in both Georgetown & the evening reception portion of the Finance Meeting
in Brooklyn (5-6 pm):
3:00pm-4:24pm
DCA-LGA
Delta 2720
This is the only option that works with Georgetown and the reception.
If you decide to go up and stay in New York and stay overnight, Dennis had something in mind for the next day, if this
makes it worth your while to go: “All of our regional fundraisers are flying in for the summit on the 14th and then we are doing a
team meeting with them on Friday, May 1 5 during the morning/day. Would be great if JP could stop by for 1 5 mins - most likely at HQ. ”
We had planned on you being in DC for the 1 5th to:
• meet with the Equitable Growth team
have dinner with Antonio Weiss
•
just in case we needed to do anything physically on the Georgetown grades (which are due at Noon), but grades and WCEG can be done
over the phone.

Share this story:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s push for major cuts in education funding and state employee compensation rests
on his claim of a fiscal emergency he traces mainly to government overspending.
But Democrats and liberal groups say skewed tax policies favoring the wealthy and business at the expense of
the middle class are big factors in the state’s budget shortfalls.
Efforts to make that case have often centered on this phrase: "Two-thirds of Wisconsin corporations don't pay
state income taxes."
The liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now -- through its affiliated research arm, Institute for One
Wisconsin -- has been part of the effort to get that phrase before the public
The institute’s April report , "We’re Not Broke," called that two-thirds number "shocking," arguing it was
evidence that businesses here don’t pay their fair share because of tax loopholes, credits and Wisconsin’s
below-average corporate tax rates.
With Walker advocating repealing the corporate income tax altogether, we thought it was time to get to the
bottom of this claim.
When asked to back up the claim, Scot Ross, executive director of both One Wisconsin groups, pointed to a
201 1 Department of Revenue report and an analysis of corporate taxation by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal
Bureau. Both use 2007 data, which state officials say was the latest and best available as of early 201 1.
A quick word about the numbers: The universe we are dealing with is corporate income taxes paid by regular
"C" corporations at the 7.9% corporate rate -- one of the largest sources of state tax revenue.
The Revenue Department study intentionally excludes "S" corporations and limited liability companies that pass
through income to multiple owners or partners. They are taxed at lower rates under the personal /ncome tax
system, rather than corporate.
Officials at both agencies report this: Of 52,497 corporate returns, 17,564 had a tax liability totaling almost $703
million.
By our math, that’s 66.5 percent of the corporations with no liability -- the two-thirds in the claim.
We wondered if this was a one-year spike.
It’s not.
Revenue Department officials ran a special report for us . It showed the same 66% figure with little variation in
2004, ’05, ’06 and ’07.
They threw in a bonus year, 2008 -- and the share of corporations that didn’t have any tax liability jumped to 69
percent in that year. (The 2008 data was not available when the Institute for One Wisconsin did its report).
In fact, the two-thirds mirrors things at the federal level.
The Government Accountability Office reported that at least 60 percent of all U.S. companies -- including many
small ones — reported no federal income-tax liability from 1998 to 2005, according to a Wall Street Journal
article from 2008 .
How can it be that at least two out of three corporations pay no tax? Part of the answer lies in the same
Revenue Department table.

Very close to two-thirds of those 52,497 Wisconsin corporate filers reported zero net income or a net loss in
2007 -- leaving them with no tax liability.
"Just because some corporations are large and profitable, it does not follow all corporations are large and
profitable," said John Koskinen, chief economist in the state Department of Revenue. "Most corporations are
very small with little or no profit."
The president of Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, a research organization, put it this way:
"It’s worth stating the obvious — if a company is making no money after expenses, it will not pay taxes," said
Todd Berry. "Depreciation is such an expense (deduction) -- and one that is generally accepted."
Additionally, some companies are inactive in a given year, noted Stephanie Marquis, spokeswoman for the state
Department of Revenue.
A significant number of individuals - as opposed to corporations -- also do not have a tax liability. Some 31% did
not owe income taxes, according to a 2009 revenue department figures. But that understates the number who
didn’t owe taxes, possibly by a large amount, because households with low incomes do not have to file,
according to our calculations based on census data.
We asked Ross, among those who have cited the number, why he called it "shocking" that firms with no net
income would not pay taxes.
Ross pointed to the multitude of tax credits and deductions. When used, they can take a profitable firm and
reduce its bottom line to zero for tax purposes.
The state revenue report confirms the phenomena: A small number of corporations had net income, but still
didn’t owe any state income taxes.
In total, 390 profitable firms that paid no state income tax claimed enough in tax credits that reduced their tax
liability to zero, the Revenue Department report notes. So that means tax credits allowed 2% of firms with net
income to avoid taxes.
But that’s just a slice of how many firms got tax preferences to reduce their corporate income taxes.
In addition to the dozen or more tax credits for corporations, state records list more than 20 other breaks in the
form of deductions, exclusions and special treatment, a state report shows.
The total tax break for all the preferences was more than $254 million in 2008, according to that Revenue
Department report.
So it’s clear that tax breaks can have a big impact on corporate tax collections, which in Wisconsin rate in the
middle of the pack or lower nationally, a Journal Sentinel investigation found in 2010.
Proponents of business tax breaks say it’s important to give incentives for business expansion and improvement.
Critics say their pro-business impact is unclear.
Despite the controversy over the whole issue, no comprehensive study exists to quantify why firms report no net
income. State officials say that would require an individual review of tens of thousands of tax returns.
Finally, it’s worth noting two developments that limit the usefulness of the state’s data in drawing conclusions
about the business tax climate.
No. 1 : It’s common now for start-up businesses to form as partnerships instead of "C" corporations. So part the
picture is missing, because the state does not pull out tax-payment data on these firms, many of which are small.
State revenue officials still say their data on "C" corporations is worthwhile, given the large dollars at stake.

No. 2: A relatively new change called "combined reporting" could increase corporate tax revenue collections in
the years ahead. No data is yet available on that, however.
What’s the bottom line?
The liberal Institute for One Wisconsin used state data to assert that two-thirds of Wisconsin corporations pay no
state income taxes. The two-thirds number is solid, the trend is long-term and it is reflected by federal tax data
as well.
For some corporations, tax breaks reduce the bottom line to zero in tax liability. But the group failed to note that
some share of those non-paying businesses simply don’t make enough to pay taxes. We can’t say how
significant that detail is because the data doesn’t exist.
On the Truth-O-Meter that rates as Mostly True.

Thanks much, Naomi. Helpful. I ran several small test runs Sunday and Monday with a few students who
volunteered, preparatory to using Zoom later today in my large Evidence class. I found I was able to get a list of
who participated in the meetings, after I closed the sessions. Can't recall exactly what I did to get the names, but
it is there somewhere.

Subject: Some thoughts on using Zoom
Hi Everyone,
Nan Hunter and I used Zoom for the first time yesterday to teach our class and I thought I would share what
worked well and what didn’t in case this is helpful for others. We were both co-hosts and we had 25 students
participating. Based on that experience, my sense was that Zoom works surprisingly well for smaller discussions
or large lecture-based classes. I think it would be too clunky to really do a large socratic-style class with lots of
back and forth among many participants. To my 20th century mind it does not compare to the in-class
experience, but it is a fairly effective back up plan for snow days.
(1) Before you teach, be sure to do a test meeting with someone from 1ST. They have done a great job making
themselves available and it was enormously helpful.
(2) It takes a little time, but I think it is worth doing a quick roll call at the start of the class to confirm which
students are present. You can see up to about 20 video feeds (with names) on your screen at once and you can
scroll through to see the others, but some students (who have technical or audio problems) will use the
telephone to call in and you will only see their telephone number. There is not a record of participants afterward.
(3) Ask your students to mute themselves when they are not speaking to eliminate ambient noise.
(4) You can ask your students to use the “Raise Hand” function to ask or answer questions — it works pretty well
and allows to see who wants to participate.
(5) You can use power point with Zoom, which I thought was helpful for keeping everyone visually focused on
content, but when you do that the video feeds scroll down the side of your screen and you can see many fewer
students at one time. Also, when Nan had the power point open she could not manage participants (to see
raised hands or mute people). As co-host I could do that, but that effectively required two people. So combining
Zoom with power point has some costs.
(6) Kick everyone in your household off the internet before you begin! I had some problems with connectivity at a
couple points.
If others who have tried Zoom have insights or suggestions, please share. Particularly welcome would be ideas
for how to structure or design a class to make the most of Zoom.
Happy Zooming, Naomi

People ask me all the time if we are going to win back the Majority. My answer is yes! But we can’t do it
without your immediate help.
We only need 25 seats to win and my friend, Cheri Bustos has a great chance in Illinois.
But, in order for Cheri to win, she needs your urgent help today. Tomorrow marks 25 days till Election Day and
one of the biggest advertising decision deadlines we will have this cycle.
Final budgeting decisions are being made now.
Please contribute now and help them so they can expand their advertising buy and have more voters see their
ads. It's that simple - every dollar that comes in goes right back out to fund more ads on television.
She needs to go toe-to-toe with GOP Super PACs who are attacking her.
If we want to win this November, we have to go all in.
Thank you for helping Cheri - she will be a great addition to Congress.
Now, let's win this.
On to Victory,
Nancy

Dear All,©
We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of
names/numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other
than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our
near and dear ones?
In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart
attack and the people attending us get hold of our mobile
phone but don't know which number to call to inform our
family members. Yes, there are many numbers stored but which
one is the contact person in case of an emergency?

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers
stored under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our
mobile phones.

of the population, just store the number of a contact person
or person who should be contacted at during emergency as

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when
they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always
mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which
number to call.
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there
was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.
Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican
Ambulance Service has launched a national 'In case of
Emergency (ICE)' campaign. In an emergency situation,
Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be
able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing
the number stored as 'ICE'.

Dear Friends:
Many of you know of my good friendship and great respect for Rep. Scott Peters, who in his first term in Congress representing
San Diego. Fie is a centrist Democrat with experience as a practicing attorney, City Councilman and San Diego Port
Commissioner, who has been dedicated to solutions to keep San Diego and the critical border with Mexico economically vibrant.
Well, I am not alone in my admiration. As you can see from the note below from Scott's capable chief of staff, Michelle Dorothy,
Scott has received two notable indications of support in recent days:
1) The US Chamber of Commerce has endorsed him over his Tea-Party Republican opponent. This is one of the very
few instances where the Chamber has supported a Democrat in a contested race - and as you can imagine this was
not done lightly.
2) Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles wrote an opinion piece in San Diego media supporting Scott's approach to
responsible budgeting - after Crossroads GPS cynically attached Scott for supporting this "controversial budget
plan," based on the widely-respected Simpson/Bowles plan of 2010.
This will be one of the tightest races in the country, and one where friends like you can make a difference.
In the next week there will be three opportunities to meet Scott and support him:
Tuesday, September 16, Noon-l:00: Lunch reception at Molly Allen Associates (412 First Street SE)
Thursday, September 18, 6: 6:00 Dinner at Rasika (633 D Street NW)
Friday, September 19, 10:30-11:30 Coffee Break at Molly Allen Associates (412 First Street SE)
Details are in the attached invitations - please try to help where it can really make a difference. I am copying Michelle, who will
be happy to help with any rsvps or arrangements.

I wanted to flag two items for you.
First, you know that Scott has the guts, integrity, and common sense to make the tough choices to get our debt down and our
fiscal house in order. It's being noticed. Last week, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles penned an op-ed to highlight Scott's work
to reduce our national debt. In short, they said "we need more members of Congress like Peters." I agree!
Second, you probably know that Scott was endorsed last week by the US Chamber of Commerce. Did you also know that Carl
DeMaio attacked the Chamber when he heard about the endorsement and that became a story of its own?!? Seriously, the
Chamber "threw some major shade" on DeMaio in response. You just gotta read the story
In a related note, DeMaio attacked the pharmaceutical industry last week, too. Weird.

We just had a good conversation and I'm feeling better about doing the refi + hitting for profit event as a topper to a
townhall where she is hearing from young people hampered in efforts to buy first home, start business, or start family
due to debt. We do need to be careful not to bill this as our college affordability plan but we can lay seeds of what
needs to be addressed and make clear we'll say more soon.
Big policy speech next week is wage growth/Econ framing and we can have this be more about growth + opportunity
for those already in debt.
Brian - Do you want to add anything to my summary?
Also, Mike V - 1 totally agree they O'Malley is likely to roll something out that NH won't be able to take advantage of -
and we should get friends in NH to point that out! !

To Robby's point, I do worry about this now. I am worried that HRC will be asked about debt free college in the
q and a phase and unless we are planning to propose something in the future that is bolder than Bemie and
O'Malley, the story might have people saying they are "disappointed" or that "it falls short".

Insiders expressed confidence in Dennis Cheng, the campaign’s relatively unknown campaign finance director,
whose selection was seen as a signal the campaign was avoiding another mistake of ’08: The empowering of
celebrity donors who crowded out the younger, more aggressive bundlers who helped power Barack Obama’s
money machine.
Yet in recent days, as Clinton has assessed her daunting challenge, it’s become clear that the force behind
the fundraising operation is campaign chairman John Podesta, who has been quietly cultivating big donors
and coordinating fundraising strategy.
Podesta, people close to the campaign, supports the Cheng-led strategy of creating an army of small- to
medium-scale campaign bundlers - a “flat” fundraising structure that would give donors the sense of
ownership in the campaign. Podesta jokingly refers to himself as the “Sultan of Flat,” but the older generation
of Clinton fundraisers and donors interviewed over the past two weeks said they believed the new structure
would eventually give way to a more conventional fundraising apparatus that would empower mega-donors on
the coasts.
Managing the friction between the old lions of Clinton fundraising - who have no use for the flat org chart --
and younger players Cheng hopes to recruit won’t be easy. Cheng recently angered several former Obama
fundraisers by offering them their old regional finance jobs - even though they had gone onto to bigger, more
lucrative careers in Washington over the years; They turned him down, according to a former Obama
campaign official.
Cheng has also been trying to reassure Obama bundlers and even former lower level Clinton Administration
aides, who have now grown to have successful careers, that they won’t be left. "Their sense is that unless
they raise zillions of dollars, they're never going to be noticed and certainly never going to infiltrate their
already tight-knit inner circle, so why bother," one New York-based fundraiser said. "Everyone knows who
Clinton's inner circle is, that they are going to raise a boat load of money with relatively little effort, and that
there is little that can be done by a new person to make their mark

□
John -
The White House just announced that President Obama is nominating Merrick B. Garland to become our next
Supreme Court justice.
A native of Chicago, Merrick Garland has been a judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since
1 997, serving as Chief Judge since 201 3. With two decades of federal court experience, Garland is fully prepared for all of the
responsibilities he will face as our next Supreme Court justice - no matter how Senate Republicans try to spin it.
Frankly, I've grown a little sick of Republicans in Congress and their antics that have ranged from simply unproductive to downright
offensive. Over the course of President Obama's seven years in office, the GOP has used our Congress as its own stage for public
temper tantrums and meltdowns, habitually standing in the way of progress instead of doing their jobs and helping our country move
forward.
This is not leadership, John. This is obstruction. It's a vendetta against President Obama's presidency, plain and simple, and we just
cannot afford to let the Republican Party hold a fully-functioning government hostage with their political games - especially at the
expense of the Supreme Court.
So add your name to send Senate Republicans the message that it's time for them to do their jobs and confirm Judge
Garland:

Indianapolis, IN: McCain Speech 07/01/08
Background Details
• Introductory remarks Sheriff Webre, Pres, of National Sheriffs' Association: mentions McCain's history as

FULL Remarks:
LINK: http://thepaae.time.com/transcript-of-mccains-remarks-to-the-national-sheriffs-association/
ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain will deliver the following remarks as prepared for delivery at the
National Sheriffs' Association's 68th Annual Conference in Indianapolis, IN, today at 1 1 :00 a.m. EDT :
Thank you, Sheriff Webre, for the kind introduction, and thank you all very much. I appreciate the warm welcome
to Indianapolis, and I am proud to be in the company of more than two thousand sheriffs and deputy sheriffs. I'm
very honored, and have never felt safer.
There is a small fraternity of occupations that deserve every citizen's gratitude, every day. And sheriffs and
deputy sheriffs are charter members. Some functions of government take place far from public view, and
success and failure can be hard to measure. But that is never true in your calling. In law enforcement, the
standard is always 100 percent success, and there is no such thing as "close enough" for government work.
Protecting innocent citizens from those who would do them harm is the most elementary responsibility of
government. Law enforcement work is often hard, sometimes heroic, and always necessary. We are all in your
debt, and I thank you for your service.
When President Ronald Reagan came before this organization in 1984, he spoke of a "new mandate from the
American people." He described some of the social theories of the preceding decades, and how these

fashionable ideas had fostered a permanent criminal class of violent repeat offenders. In the 1960's and 70's,
violent crime had increased throughout most of our country. In some cities, people felt as if their neighborhoods
were under hostile occupation. At the federal level, President Reagan offered a different approach to criminal
justice, focused on vigorous enforcement and stricter sentencing. Criminal justice reform is a part of the Reagan
revolution that is often forgotten today. But over time, America became a better, safer, and more just country
because of those reforms. And you're the ones who helped to make it happen.
We still hear some academics and politicians speaking as if a rising rate of incarceration and a
reduction in crime were unrelated facts. But, of course, when the most violent and persistent
criminals are in prison, crime rates will go down. And this is exactly what happened through the 1990's
and most of this decade. The progress our country made against crime was the result of smart policies,
bipartisan cooperation, and, above all, high-quality work by the men and women of law enforcement.
Many of our cities became safer during the 1990's, thanks to the resolute action of city and county leaders such
as my friend Rudy Giuliani and his police commissioner Bill Bratton. During both Republican and Democratic
administrations, Congress continued to supply states and localities with new resources. Under legislation I've
supported, we have also sought to increase penalties for repeat felons who commit crimes with a firearm, or
commit violent crimes on behalf of a criminal gang. We have worked to improve the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System for firearms purchases. And we have sought to increase the fines criminals must pay
into the Federal Crime Victims Fund and bar all criminals from profiting from their crimes.
We also expanded public registry requirements for convicted sex offenders — because to prevent and punish
the exploitation of children, the surest policy is zero-tolerance. When anyone is convicted of a sexual assault on
a child, they should stay in prison for a long time, and their names should stay forever on the National Sex
Offender Public Registry. When they are released — if they are released — they should be tracked both in their
physical movements and in their Internet usage. And under a bill I have authored as a senator, and intend to
sign into law as president, we're going to get serious against Internet predators: Anyone who uses the Internet in
the commission of a crime of child exploitation is going offline and into prison for an additional ten years.
In protecting children and in all criminal justice policy, at both the state and federal level, we have shown how
much can be achieved when consistent principles are applied and both parties work together. And this spirit will
be needed in meeting the challenges of our own time. The overall trends in crime are small comfort to the more
than six million victims of violent crime in America each year, or to the more than 1 8 million victims of property
crime. In an enterprise measured by the standard of 100 percent success, there is no time to linger on the
progress of the past. We need to stay on the offensive against crime, and especially crimes of
violence.
The federal government has its own well defined set of law-enforcement concerns, such as multi-state criminal
syndicates, terrorist cells, government corruption, and the protection of America's borders. And from the
standpoint of state and local law enforcement, often the best service our federal government can render is to do
these things and do them right. Presidential leadership is essential in all of these responsibilities. But nowhere is
the influence of a president more critical to law enforcement than in the power of judicial nominations.
It will fall to the next president to nominate hundreds of men and women to the federal courts. These choices will
have far-reaching consequences for all Americans, and perhaps especially for law enforcement. When a serious
crime is investigated, prosecuted, and punished, it takes many hours and the best efforts of police, trial courts,
and juries. Yet one badly reasoned opinion, by one overreaching judge, can undo it all. Just like that, evidence
of guilt can be suppressed, or a dangerous predator released because of judge-made laws having little or
nothing to do with the requirements of the Constitution. Even worse, when such opinions issue from the highest
court, they set a precedent for many more injustices, and they add one more obstacle to the work of law
enforcement.
We saw such presumption again just last week in a matter before the Supreme Court. In the considered
judgment of the people of Louisiana and their elected representatives, the violent rape of a small child is a
capital offense. There is nothing in our Constitution to contradict that view. But five justices decided the people's
judgment didn't take into account "evolving standards of decency," and so they substituted their judgment for
that of the people of Louisiana, their legislators, their governor, the trial judge, the jury, the appellate judge, and

the other four justices of the Supreme Court.
It's a peculiar kind of moral evolution that disregards the democratic process, and inures solely
to the benefit of child rapists. It was such a jarring decision from the Court that my opponent,
Senator Obama, immediately and to his credit expressed his disagreement. I'd like to think this
signals a change of heart on his part about his votes against the confirmation of two of the four
dissenters in the case, Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts. More to the point,
why is it that the majority includes the same justices he usually holds out as the models for future
nominations? My opponent may not care for this particular decision, but it was exactly the kind of
opinion we could expect from an Obama Court.
Should I be elected president, I will look for accomplished men and women with a proven record
of excellence in the law, and a proven commitment to judicial restraint. They will be the kind of
judges who believe in giving everyone in a criminal court their due: justice for the guilty and the
innocent, compassion for the victims, and respect for the men and women of law enforcement.
In all of criminal justice policy, we must put the interests of law-abiding citizens first — and above all the rights of
victims. And when we formulate criminal justice policy, words of praise for the good work of local law
enforcement are not enough. We must give active support to officers of the peace across America, by providing
the tools you need to meet new dangers. Even as crime has diminished in some areas, including New York and
other major cities, crime is spreading in many small and mid-sized jurisdictions. And the general numbers in
crime reduction conceal one of the most disturbing facts of all — the rise of new, better organized, and more
widely dispersed gang violence and transnational gangs. Once largely confined to major cities, the threat of
gang violence is now well known to sheriffs and corrections officers across America. And in all cases of violent
crime, in both urban and rural areas, it's the poorest among us who are most vulnerable.
To meet all of these challenges, and others, you will need assistance, critical resources, and new technologies
that often only the federal government can provide. And one of the most critical of these resources concerns the
radio spectrum. So that police, fire-fighters, and other public safety agencies can freely communicate with one
another, we will build a long overdue national, interoperable public safety broadband network. You and all your
colleagues in law enforcement need seamless communication across every agency and jurisdiction for
emergency response. For more than a decade now, I have tried to persuade the Congress to provide dedicated
radio spectrum and funding for communications equipment to local, state, and federal law enforcement officers.
Just last year, I introduced a bill that provided for more than twice the capacity that the FCC has currently set
aside for public safety. Special interests in Washington want the FCC to auction off more of that spectrum than I
do. But no matter what price it might fetch at auction, it should be available for fighting crime and saving lives.
The Congress, too, needs to get its priorities straight, and that begins by supporting the priorities of front-line
law-enforcement personnel. As it is, funds distributed by the Department of Justice are too often earmarked
according to their value to the re-election of members of Congress instead of their value to police. This is
especially true in the case of grants allocated under the Byrne/JAG program — many of which are urgently
needed to interdict drugs and track the movement of violent gangs. The result is that millions of dollars are
wasted every year, and a lot of good ideas and programs in local law enforcement never get funded.
Earmark spending bills are the broken windows of the federal budget process, and by ending these abuses we
set a new tone and we set much greater reforms in motion. Earmark spending runs against the public interest in
many ways, and especially when public safety is in the balance. And that's why, as president, I will veto every bill
with earmarks, until the Congress stops sending bills with earmarks. It may take a while for Congress to adjust,
but sooner or later they'll figure out that there's a new sheriff in town.
Law enforcement professionals know best what they need in the field. And today, what's often needed most are
more personnel and better technologies for tracking criminals, gathering data, and sharing vital information. We
need to make certain that every agency is working with others where necessary, so that the miscommunications
and missed opportunities before 9/1 1 are never repeated. To protect our energy supply, air and rail transport,
banking and financial services, we need to invest far more in the federal task of cyber security. In this new
century, and especially with the threat of terrorist attacks, every state, local, and federal agency concerned with
public safety should have access a shared repository of information. In the case of any suspected terrorist, we

must make certain that law enforcement knows who they are, where they are, and what they're up to.
We know as well that tens of thousands of felons — in custody and at large — entered our country illegally. Why
has it has fallen to sheriffs and other local officials to protect their citizens from these foreign-born felons?
Because our federal government failed to protect our borders from their entry, and this serious dereliction of
duty must end.
Our compassion for laborers who entered this country unlawfully — our understanding of their struggles, even
as we act to secure the border — speaks well of America. But this respect does not extend to criminals who
came here to break our laws and do harm to people. Through the Criminal Alien Program, we have made some
progress in recent years. Too often, however, states are left to deal with the high costs and excessive regulation
involved in deportation proceedings, and many local officers are left waiting for immigration agents to show up
on site. So, as president, I will expand the Criminal Alien Program. We will require that the federal government
assume more of the costs to deport and detain criminal aliens — because this is a problem of the federal
government's own making.
As if all of these challenges were not enough, another has arisen because of your own hard work and success
these past 25 years in sending serious offenders to prison. Many are due for release, and just last year some
750,000 inmates reentered society. Unless we change our approach over the next four years, these released
prisoners are likely to reoffend in very high numbers, committing millions of new crimes and finding millions of
new victims. And we need to be as committed in preparing them for freedom as we were in taking that freedom
away.
Maybe you have heard the story of an ex-inmate named Don Cox, who received a sentence of 90 years for
being an accomplice to a murder right here in Indianapolis in 1978. Mr. Cox would likely have spent the rest of
his life in prison, had it not been for the efforts of another man named Tim Streett. In the short version of a
powerful story, Mr. Streett is the son of the victim, and had even been a witness to his father's murder. He is
also a witness to the possibilities of redemption. After years of bitterness, Mr. Streett sought out the prisoner. In
time, he even became his friend. And it was he who asked prosecutors to seek parole for Mr. Cox. As Tim
Streett explains his change of heart, "Anger and bitterness — that can build up. But true forgiveness says, 'I
forgive you, and it's over."'
Across a prison and jail population of 2.3 million souls, there may be some who will never find or
even seek this path. But the way should be open to all. This was the spirit of the Second Chance
Act of 2007, a law designed to make the walk out of prison, past the gates and razor wire, a one-
way journey. Ex-convicts need more than a few bucks and a bus ticket out of town. Many will need job training,
a place to live, mentors, family counseling, and much more. Beyond government, there are churches and
community groups all across our country that stand ready to help even more. And these groups will have the
committed support of my administration.
With so many sentences about to expire, and so many second chances about to be offered, the stakes are high
for our country. And nobody understands that better than sheriffs, their deputies, and other officers of the
peace. Great challenges lie ahead of you, and you will meet them as those who carry the badge of law
enforcement always have — with courage and with honor. I thank each one of you for the dedication you bring
to a hard job. I thank all of you for your commitment to the cause of justice. And I thank you for your kind
attention here today.

How Bad Spin Works: A Handy Lesson from the Clinton/Blumenthal E-Mails
May 22, 2015 3:46 PM EDT
The sort of intra-Washington chicanery that is not scandalous, but not often revealed.
The just-released batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State is full of sausage-making.
It's the sort of intra-Washington chicanery that is not scandalous, but not often revealed, because human beings
are capable of embarrassment. One of the more excruciating exchanges comes when Sidney Blumenthal, the
journalist turned Clinton confidant, offered up pro bono spin work during the weeks before the 2012 election
when Republicans started to ask why the attack on America's consulate in Benghazi had not been stopped.
On the morning of October 1 , journalist Craig Linger — best known for the 2004 cui bono bestseller House of
Bush, House of Saud — published a column in Salon that revealed a "Jimmy Carter strategy" being formulated by
Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
"According to a highly reliable source," wrote Linger, "as Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama prepare for
the first presidential debate Wednesday night, top Republican operatives are primed to unleash a new two-
pronged offensive that will attack Obama as weak on national security, and will be based, in part, on new
intelligence information regarding the attacks in Libya that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens on Sept. 1 1
More than that, the "scoop" made no sense.
This source of this scoop, wrote Linger, had "firsthand knowledge of private, high-level conversations in the
Romney camp that took place in Washington, D.C., last week." According to the source, "over and over again
they talked about how it would be just like Jimmy Carter’s failed raid [on Iran in 1 980]," and "they feel it is going
to give them a last-minute landslide in the election." Curiously, the source predicted that the strategy would fail.
The story went up at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. Forty-three minutes later, Blumenthal sent Hillary Clinton an email
with the text of the story and the subject "Romney's last gambit. Got done and published." In other words,
Blumenthal, formerly a Salon columnist, was taking credit for the Romney story being placed in Salon.
In a now-deleted tweet, Romney strategist Stu Stevens snarked that it was "a mistake" to invite Blumenthal into a
secret strategy session. "This was just a joke," Stevens added in an e-mail, "highlighting he knew nothing."
More than that, the "scoop" made no sense. The Romney campaign was based in Boston, not Washington. The
idea of hitting the White House over the Benghazi attacks was hardly being dreamed up in secret — Romney had
done it weeks earlier, and been chastened by a media blowback. Surrogates, however, continued to talk plenty
about Benghazi. The only point to the story was that it made Romney's team look callow, which was how allies of
the Obama administration wanted them to look.
The running theme of Blumenthal's missives to his "old friend," the Democratic frontrunner, is that Blumenthal is
a gusher of terrible advice. The revelation of these emails is that even terrible advice could pay off, if the media
was willing to accept a narrative that made the Clintons' enemies look malicious. Republicans did not quite need
a FOIA to discover that, but it certainly didn't hur

Poor ticket sales, expected protests scuttle Bush-McCain fundraiser at Phoenix Convention Center
[ Phoenix Business Journal , 5/23/08]
“Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention
Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than
attending the fundraiser inside. Another source said there were concerns about the media covering the event. ”
McCain does tricky dance with unpopular Bush [ CNN , 5/27/08]
“McCain campaigned for Bush's re-election in 2004, and the Arizona senator has also become one of the strongest
advocates for the war in Iraq, the thing that is most likely to define President Bush's legacy. ”
McCain campaigns with Bush, seeing pluses, minuses [ Associated Press , 5/27/08]
" John McCain's complex relationship with President Bush can be summed up with a simple saying: can't live with
him, can't live without him. The president's own popularity is bottom-of-the-barrel low. Even allies privately fret that
he's an albatross for the Republican looking to succeed him. Voters are crying out for change amid a prolonged Iraq
war and a weakened economy. ”

Sanders Blames Clinton for Decline of Middle Class in Trade-
Battered Michigan
March 4, 2016
Contact: Michael Briggs 18021 233-8653
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Bernie Sanders on Friday said “disastrous” trade deals backed by
Hillary Clinton decimated Michigan manufacturing, threw Michigan workers out of decent-
paying jobs and are “one of the reasons that the middle class in the country is disappearing.”
“If the people of Michigan want to make a decision about which candidate stood with workers
against corporate America and against these disastrous trade agreements, that candidate is
Bernie Sanders," he said to cheers from 2,125 supporters here at the Streeters Center.
Starting with the job-killing North American Free Trade Agreement, Clinton supported trade
deals when she was secretary of state, a U.S. senator and first lady.
Sanders joined picket lines to protest NAFTA and other trade deals "crafted by “the big-money
interests and corporations,” Sanders said.
“Hillary Clinton was on the other side of many of these trade agreements,” Sanders added.
Not only was Clinton on the wrong side of a series of business-backed trade deals, she also has
only grudgingly questioned the biggest trade deal of all time. Until an election-eve conversion,
she had backed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed 12-nation Pacific Rim trade deal
which would be the biggest in history.
Meanwhile, Sanders’ campaign responded to Clinton’s assertion in Detroit that she has a plan
to restore manufacturing jobs. “The American people are sick and tired of establishment
politicians who promise to create manufacturing jobs during campaign season but support
trade policies that make it easier to outsource these jobs the day after they get elected,”
Sanders said in a prepared statement.
Meanwhile, Sanders’ campaign on Friday distributed a video showing Clinton in India in 2012
discussing what she said were “pluses and minuses” to outsourcing U.S. jobs.

Robert A. Kasdin named senior vice president and chief operating officer of Johns Hopkins Medicine
Baltimore, MD — Johns Hopkins Medicine announced today the appointment of Robert A. Kasdin to the newly created role of
senior vice president and chief operating officer. Kasdin comes to Johns Hopkins Medicine from Columbia University, where he
has been senior executive vice president since 2002. He starts on July 1.
As Johns Hopkins Medicine's first senior vice president and chief operating officer, Kasdin will partner with leadership to drive
organization-wide change within a rapidly evolving environment. He will be responsible for overall operations, including
strategic direction, administration of existing programs and development of new initiatives to ensure that Johns Hopkins
Medicine's strategic imperatives are achieved or exceeded.
"Robert is a proven and experienced leader, and we are pleased to have him join our stellar team here at Johns Hopkins," says
Paul B. Rothman, dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "His expertise will aid us as we continue to
advance care and treatment for patients from our city, throughout our country and around the world."
"Johns Hopkins Medicine has seen tremendous growth," says Ronald R. Peterson, president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and
Health System and executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "We are looking forward to Robert's guidance as we take
advantage of opportunities to develop and improve our operational efficiencies and effectiveness."
Vastly qualified, Kasdin has overseen overall operations, finances, human resources, information technology, and development
and commercialization of intellectual property at Columbia University. Additionally, he has played an important role in
Columbia's relationships with major donors and with city and state government. While at Columbia, he also reorganized the
university's operations to integrate business processes and improved efficiency and accountability.
Before joining Columbia, Kasdin served as the executive vice president and chief financial officer of the University of Michigan,
treasurer and chief investment officer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the vice president and general counsel for
Princeton University Investment Company. He began his career as a corporate attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell.
Kasdin earned his B.A. from Princeton and his J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a board member of the Harbor Funds, Apollo
Commercial Real Estate Finance, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and the
ARTstor Digital Library. He previously chaired the board of trustees of the Dalton School and co-chaired the transition committee
for the New York City comptroller-elect in 2013. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Kasdin is married to Claire Ullman, a political scientist. They have three children.

White House’s weather deja vu
By Bob King
5/6/14 12:29 PM EDT
The stars of meteorology were aligned as the White House made its case on climate change.
NBC’s Al Roker was there, along with more than 1 00 national and local television weather forecasters — some
of them doing their TV hits from the White House lawn. They met with the president and his advisers. And the
administration hoped the broadcasters’ popular appeal would help sell the public on the need to take action on
global warming.
No, that wasn’t the big climate-weather outreach<https://www.politicopro.com/story/energy/?id=33545> that the
Obama White House held on Tuesday. It was a quite similar event <http://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/02/us/
clinton-nudges-tv-forecasters-on-warming.html> that the Clinton White House held in October 1997, as that
administration was preparing for discussions of a global climate agreement in Kyoto, Japan.
But yes, Roker was invited both times.
Bracewell & Giuliani energy specialist Frank Maisano pointed out the coincidence Tuesday morning, in an email
with the subject line: “Seems like we’ve done this before.”
As with President Barack Obama’s event on Tuesday, the hope for then-President Bill Clinton’s administration
was that the TV forecasters could reach viewers who weren’t paying attention to — or being informed by — the
usual White House press corps.
“You, just in the way you comment on the events that you cover, may have a real effect on the American
people,” Clinton told the broadcasters, according to The New York Times’ coverage of the two-day seminar. He
added, “I do think it’s very important, since you have more influence than anybody does on how the American
people think about this, that at least you know what you believe and how you think we should proceed.”
The Times remarked: “Playing host to the nation’s television weather forecasters was the most innovative step in
a White House campaign to rally public support for new binding global targets for restricting greenhouse gases.”
Of course, the Senate never ratified the Kyoto agreement.

The Obama administration is now in a similar position as it prepares for international talks in Paris with hopes of
reaching a binding global agreement on how to counteract climate change. But Obama has also gone ahead
with regulations to tackle the problem, including next month’s debut of EPA rules meant to throttle greenhouse
gas pollution from thousands of power plants.
“The only difference seems to be the underlying use of regulations to do it more effectively this time,” Maisano
commented. “Clinton and his folks wanted to regulate power plants, but never went that far.”

Subject: Insurmountable?
John --
The headlines are talking about how you and I got beat again by the other side in fundraising.
Those headlines aren't going away. I will be outspent in this election. And we will not win the ad wars on TV and radio --
right now, the other side is outspending us on TV by at least 2-to-l in most battleground states.
And that's OK. But only if we're able to keep the spending gap close enough so that our investments in a truly grassroots
campaign pay off.
I believe in that model, and I'm betting that you do, too.
It's moments like these that I need you to act on that belief. Can you make a donation of $3 or more today?
https://donate.barackobama.com/Keep-It-Close
Thank you,
Barack
P.S. -- To say thanks for all you're doing for me and for this campaign, we're inviting a couple grassroots supporters -- and

Dear Friends,
In 2015, as the Cuban and American flags rose in the breeze of diplomacy and
engagement, we had an amazing vantage point - seeing the changes from the inside and
sharing what we learned and what we believed with all of you.
We are grateful to the leaders and believers who made all of this possible.
Among them, we want to recognize diplomats at the U.S. State Department in Washington
and in our new U.S. Embassy in Havana who encouraged our work and, from time to
time, made us a part of theirs.
We thank our friends in Congress, old and new, who came away from our trips to Cuba
inspired and energized to change U.S. policy, Governors like Andrew Cuomo of New York
who capitalized on President Obama's opening to partner with Cuba and create economic
opportunity in their states, and the businesses and artists, experts and advocates, who
looked to us so they too could become part of this historic change.
We are grateful to the Cubans - especially the amazing women who are central to much of
our work - who welcomed us in Havana, Regia, Pinar del Rio, Cojimar and elsewhere;
they shared their stories and aspirations with our eleven delegations, so we could better
understand Cuba by listening and exchanging with them.
We were, to paraphrase Tennyson, a part of all that we met.
In just a few days from now, we'll be accompanying a delegation led by Governor Terry
McAuliffe of Virginia. After food sales to Cuba were legalized in 2000, Virginia was one
of the first states to forge a relationship with Cuba, and overtime became one of its most
reliable suppliers. Governor McAuliffe has spent years, outside and inside government,
engaging with Cuba, hosting its diplomats in Virginia and visiting Cuba. When he returns
to Havana, he will be, to say the least, a known commodity to our Cuban hosts.
Our country spent decades using food as a weapon of foreign policy against Cuba. Even
after 2000, the weight of U.S. sanctions prevented a full, two-way trade relationship in
agriculture products that would have made it easier for Cubans to put food on their tables
and bring Cuban agricultural products into our supermarkets and stores.
As this June 2015 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture makes clear, changes
in U.S. policy are needed so that Cuba and the U.S. can resume normal agricultural trade,
allowing Cuban and American farms to prosper.
No other sector of the U.S. economy has agitated for better relations - more patiently or
effectively - and worked harder to bring the United States and Cuba together than
American agriculture.

Ok. Current stuff works. Let's just maybe adjust language in DACA sentence to say shed treat them like others
with deferred action and not exempt them. And take out the words "follow the law" - so it doesn't look like she's
contradicting the last sentence below (even though that was about all undocumented persons and not DACA
and dapa in particular)

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Immigration going to be a big issue in this campaign?
In the past, you've said that undocumented immigrants would not be covered by your health care
proposals. Here's an exchange we had in 2007.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Would illegal immigrants be covered under your plan?
CLINTON: Illegal immigrants would not be covered. No. They would not be covered. I will continue to have
a safety net, which I think is in the best traditions of our country and also for public health reasons
absolutely necessary.
But we did not cover them in '93, '94 and my plan does not cover them now.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Now you say that undocumented immigrants should be able to buy
into the exchanges. So why the shift?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, because number one the kind of plan that was passed in the Affordable Care
Act gives you a market-based way of getting into the insurance market. So, if you can afford to buy a
policy, you can. You don't get, however, any of the subsidies that American citizens get.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Martin O'Malley says they should. Why not?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I disagree with him. I think part of comprehensive immigration reform should
be looking at all of these issues. But as things stand right now, under the Affordable Care Act, if you have
the money and you are undocumented, you can buy into it, but without the subsidies. That's why it's
important we continue to support community health centers, we continue to support our hospitals because
those are often the places that undocumented people and poor people go.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And what's the reason for not going further?
HILLARY CLINTON: Because I don't think legally you can. I mean, that is not something that we can
legally support. The law is very clear about that.

Here is what she said in Windham on Nov. 10. It does express support for continued border
security -- today. But I think we can use the answer we've prepped, and which you'll see soon,
which says: we don't need more walls; we've invested a ton in this and the border is more secure
than in years; it's time to focus on CIR.
QUESTION: Hi. Hi, Secretary Clinton. I was wondering what you think about, like, securing the
Mexican border with some of the illegal immigrants that come in. Just wondering.
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, look, I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to
build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in, and I do think you have to control
your borders. But I think that it’s also true that we need to do more to try to, number one, deal with
the people who are already here, many of whom have been here for decades, because it is just
never going to happen that we’re going to round up and deport 11 or 12 million people. I don’t care
how tall the wall is or how big the door is, that is never going to happen. (Applause.) And I think it
is an unnecessarily provocative thing to say. We need to secure our borders; I’m for it, I voted for
it, I believe in it. And we also need to deal with the families, the workers who are here, who have
made contributions, and their children. And we -^/lexican immigration no longer is really the issue.
The Mexican economy is doing well enough, we’ve had no net Mexican immigration in the last
several years. We now get immigrants from Central America and Latin America, and a lot of them
make a very dangerous trip with smugglers and traffickers to try to get into our country, and we
need to do more to try to put some resources into those countries to try to deal with some of the
conditions, particularly the violence, the drug dealers and the like that create that.
And we have an example of how effective the United States can be. When my husband was
President, as you remember, there was a war going on in Colombia by drug traffickers and
insurgent rebels. It was such a violent war that elected officials, business leaders, academics were
being kidnapped, many of them murdered, otherwise held for ransom. And we did something called
Plan Colombia, where we helped the government figure out how to secure their country from drug
traffickers and rebels, and it took a number of years, but now it’s a success story.
So we can do more to stop the problem from where it starts. We can do more to secure our
border. And we should do more to deal with the 11 or 12 million people who are here, get them out
of the shadows because we will have a better economic outcome if we do that. Because what
happens now is if you’re undocumented you will work for as little as you can be paid, and that
influences the labor market and takes away jobs from Americans because there’s no even playing
field. If we get them out of the shadows and we enforce the labor laws, we will see a much better
labor market for Americans and we will also see much more contribution into the Social Security
and Medicare system as well as the taxes. I mean, right now we know that undocumented workers
pay into the Social Security system many billions of dollars, but it could be even more.
So yeah, we have to do all of that. And to talk about just one piece of it I think is misleading and
doesn’t help us get to where we can solve the problems that we face. (Applause.)

the Almanac of
AMERICAN POLITICS
2010
Republican Gov. Butch Otter of Idaho once entered and won a "Mr. Tight Jeans" contest at the
Rockin' Rodeo bar in Boise.
However, Otter's ability to fit into tight pants did not translate into legislative success. In 2008, he
had difficulty getting many of his proposals through the Legislature, even though he had
Republican majorities in both chambers. He proposed an 11% increase in the state's budget, a 5%
pay raise for state employees and an increase in vehicle-registration fees to fund road repairs, all
of which the Legislature either modified or rejected outright.
You will find these and many other interesting facts in The Almanac of American Politics 2010 .
The 2010 Almanac also includes:
■ A statistical breakdown of the 2008 presidential vote by state and congressional
district.
■ In-depth profiles and photographs of every governor, senator and House members.

I talked to Ben on background and reiterated who the Fund is and what we do and then directed him to Kirk
Adams as a better source for clarification from the candidate side..
This was the result on his blog.. Not good
Shutting down the independent groups
My story on Politico:
Senator Barack Obama's campaign is steering the candidate's wealthy supporters away from independent Democratic
groups, calling into question what had been expected to be the groups' central role in this year's Democratic offensive against
Senator John McCain.
Obama's national finance chairwoman, Chicago hotel mogul Penny Pritzlcer, told supporters at a national finance committee
meeting in Indianapolis May 2, and in other conversations, not to give money to the groups, people familiar with her
comments said.
"From the beginning of this race Obama has told supporters that if they want to help his effort, they should do so through
his campaign," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton, who confirmed that Pritzlcer has told donors not to give to the groups.
"And he means exactly what he says."
Most presidential candidates say they don't encourage the outside groups, and donors are accustomed to taking those words
with a grain of salt. The candidates' words are typically seen as mere legal defenses against allegations that the campaigns are
illicitly coordinating with outside groups.
The donors have been considering entreaties from Progressive Media USA, run by conservative-journalist turned liberal
media critic David Brock; from former Clinton aide John Podesta's Fund for America; and from America Votes, a group
backed by billionaire George Soros that focuses on voter mobilization, among other efforts.
But in recent days, major donors have begun to conclude that Obama is serious in trying to cut off funds to the outside
groups.
"It's given donors pause," said one prominent Democratic donor of Pritzker's words.

Also, less urgently, now that you know about the MTP request, there's one more new one that Robby will soon

STATEMENT ON HIV AND AIDS
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 866
Yesterday, at Nancy Reagan’s funeral, I said something inaccurate when speaking about the
Reagans’ record on HIV and AIDS. Since then. I’ve heard from countless people who were
devastated by the loss of friends and loved ones, and hurt and disappointed by what I said, and I
understand why. I made a mistake, plain and simple.
I want to use this opportunity to talk not only about where we’ve come from but where we must
go in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
To be clear, the Reagans did not start a national conversation about HIV and AIDS.
Unfortunately, the opposite was true. That distinction belongs to generations of brave men and
women who started not just a conversation but a movement that continues to this day.
The AIDS crisis in America began as a quiet, deadly epidemic. Because of discrimination and
disregard, it remained that way for far too long. When many in positions of power turned a blind
eye, it was groups like ACT UP, Gay Men’s Health Crisis and others that came forward to shatter
the silence. They organized and marched, held die-ins on the steps of city halls and vigils in the
streets. They fought alongside a few courageous voices in Washington, like U.S. Representative
Henry Waxman, who spoke out from the floor of Congress.
Then there were all the people whose names we don’t often hear today - the unsung heroes who
fought on the frontlines of the crisis, from hospital wards and bedsides, some with their last
breath. Slowly, too slowly, ignorance was crowded out by information. People who had once
closed their eyes opened their hearts.
If not for those advocates, activists and ordinary, heroic people, we would not be where we are in
preventing and treating HIV and AIDS. Their courage - and their refusal to accept silence as the
status quo - saved lives.
We’ve come a long way. But we still have work to do to eradicate this disease for good and to
erase the stigma that is an echo of a shameful and painful period in our country’s history.
This issue is important to me. At the 1992 Democratic National Convention, when my husband
accepted the nomination for president, we marked a break with the past by having two HIV-
positive speakers — the first time that ever happened at a national convention. As First Lady, I
brought together world leaders to strategize and coordinate efforts to take on HIV and AIDS
around the world. In the Senate, I put forward legislation to expand global AIDS research and
assistance and to increase prevention and education. And as Secretary of State, I launched a
campaign to usher in an AIDS-free generation through prevention and treatment, targeting the
populations at greatest risk of contracting HIV.
The AIDS crisis looks very different today. There are more options for treatment and prevention
than ever before. More people with HIV are leading full and happy lives. But HIV and AIDS are
still with us. They continue to disproportionately impact communities of color, transgender
people, young people and gay and bisexual men. There are still 1 .2 million people living with HIV
in the United States today, with about 50,000 people newly diagnosed each year. In Sub-Saharan
Africa, almost 60 percent of people with HIV are women and girls. Even though the tools exist to
end this epidemic once and for all, there are still far too many people dying today. That is
absolutely inexcusable.

Page 867
I believe there’s even more we can - and must - do together. For starters, let’s continue to
increase HIV and AIDS research and invest in the promising innovations that research is
producing. Medications like PrEP are proving effective in preventing HIV infection; we should
expand access to that drug for everyone, including at-risk populations. We should call on
Republican governors to put people’s health and well-being ahead of politics and extend
Medicaid, which would provide healthcare to those with HIV and AIDS. We should call on states
to reform outdated and stigmatizing HIV criminalization laws. We should increase funding for the
President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). And we should cap out-of-pocket
expenses and drug costs, and hold companies like Turing and Valeant accountable when they
attempt to gouge patients by jacking up the price of lifesaving medications.
We’re still surrounded by memories of loved ones lost and lives cut short. But we’re also
surrounded by survivors who are fighting harder than ever. We owe it to them and to future
generations to continue that fight together. For the first time, an AIDS-free generation is in sight.
As president, I promise you that I will not let up until we reach that goal. We will not leave anyone
behind.

TO BE CLEAR, The Reagans did not start a national
conversation about HIV AND AIDS - unfortunately, the
opposite was true. That distinction belongs to generations of
brave men and w omen who started not just a conversation,
but a movement that continues to this day.
The AIDS crisis in America began as a quiet, deadly epidemic.
When many in positions of power turned a blind eye, it was
groups like ACT UP, Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and others that
came forw ard to shatter the silence. They organized and
marched, held die-ins on the steps of city halls and vigils in the
streets. They fought alongside a few courageous voices in
Washington, like U.S. Representative Henry Waxman, who
spoke out from the floor of Congress.
And then there w ere all the people whose names we don’t
often hear today - the unsung heroes who fought on the
frontlines of the crisis, from hospital wards and bedsides,
some w ith their last breath. Slowly - too slowly - ignorance
was crowded out by information. People who had once closed
their eyes opened their hearts.

If not for those advocates, activists, and ordinary people, we
would not be w here we are in preventing and treating HIV
AND AIDS. Their courage - and their refusal to accept silence
as the status quo - saved lives.
We’ve come a long way since. But we still have work to do to
eradicate this disease for good, and erase the stigma that is an
echo of a shameful and painful period in our country’s history.
This is w ork that I've been committed to for a long time. As First
Lady, I brought together world leaders to strategize and
coordinate efforts to take on HIV AND AIDS around the globe.
In the Senate, I put forward legislation to expand global AIDS
research and assistance, and increase prevention and
education. And as Secretary of State, I launched a campaign
to usher in an AIDS-free generation through prevention and
treatment, targeting the populations at greatest risk of
contracting HIV (including key populations at risk of
discrimination), and investing in innovative research and
technology.
I believe there's even more we can do together. For starters,
we should call on Republican governors to put people’s health
and well-being ahead of politics and extend Medicaid, which
would provide health care to those living w ith HIV AND AIDS.
And we should cap out-of-pocket expenses, and hold
companies like Turing and Valeant accountable when they
attempt to gouge prices of lifesaving medications. And we
should expand access to medications like PrEP.
The AIDS crisis looks very different today. We’re still
surrounded by memories of loved ones lost and lives cut short.
But we’re also surrounded by survivors who are fighting
harder than ever. We owe it to them, and to future
generations, to continue that fight together. There are more
options for treatment and prevention than ever before. BUT IN
EXCUSABLY, HIV AND AIDS CONTINUES TO
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR,
TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, YOUTH AND STILL GAY AND
BISEXUAL MEN. WHEN THE TOOLS EXIST TO END THIS
EPIDEMIC ONCE AND FOR ALL, THERE ARE STILL FAR TOO
MANY PEOPLE DYING TODAY.
More people with HIV are leading full, happy lives. For the first
time, an AIDS-free generation is in sight. And AS PRESIDENT, I
PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL NOT let up until we reach that goal.

could respond to in terms of digital

an AMA with Dominic/Robby/Dennis, a
special Note (which is a long form
format over Facebook), re-purposing
the Medium piece there, etc would go
a long way. Our other option is Reddit,
which has an extremely vocal core of
LGBT members, but I would prioritize
this Facebook group, which is the
largest LGBT community of Hillary's
supporters I know. These are friendlies,
they are already carrying water for us
making sure the apology is out there,
and they firmly sit in groups 1 and 2
that Dorn identified.
Whatever we did to send our LGBT
talking points to folks has really
worked, they are popping up
everywhere on the supporter Facebook
groups.

I think our lingering problem
on this is that people just
don't understand, on a fact
level, what happened and
how she could have gotten so
mixed up. And in the absence
of any explanatory
information, they assume the
worst — like that this was
some cynical political
strategy of ours. (Which, I
would note, makes no sense
-- why would our strategy be
to piss everyone off? -- but
regardless.)
So I would vote to do a little
something just to give people
an understanding of how this
happened, and then pivot to
something else -- maybe
that's celebrating the people
who really did start a national
conversation on AIDS, or
something else.
Believe LP is working on a

Subject: LABOR DAY & PRIORITIES
Dear Friend:
As we celebrate our nation's workers today, we must also remember
those millions who need jobs now — for their families' sake and for the
sake of all of us.
This Labor Day is an opportunity to make it clear to Washington,
Sacramento and our own City Hall that jobs must be the number
one priority. More jobs mean more mortgages being paid, more
groceries being bought and more savings being put away for college.
And businesses and jobs are what generate the resources needed to
support any other priorities we have, whether the environment,
transportation or public safety.
That's what I'm doing right now at the Democratic National
Convention in my capacities as an L.A. official and as a member of the
DNC Executive Board, Chair of Democratic Municipal Officials and Vice
Chair of the Convention Rules Committee. And that's what I've been
working on every day back home in L.A.
You may have seen media coverage last week of the streets department
saying that a study to fix our sidewalks would cost more than $ 1 0
million and take three years to complete — not three years to fix our
sidewalks, three years to study them. That's outrageous, and I joined
with Councilmembers Rosendahl and Buscaino to introduce official
action demanding that this study be sent back to the drawing board.
But the larger issue that was highlighted is one of jobs and the
economy and how that fits into the City Hall discussion. And right now
that discussion is too focused on cuts and taxes.
When it comes to cuts, there is no doubt that we must act when
taxpayer dollars are being wasted. But we have to look beyond cuts, for
example, when the fact is no money has been spent on a full sidewalk
replacement in Los Angeles since 2008. And when it comes to taxes,
the current city tax system is unfair, too high, and too complex, and so
the priority must be on reforming it first.
We must realize that the resources to pay for sidewalk repairs — and to

put cops on the street, firefighters in our stations, books in our
libraries and facilities in our parks — are generated by economic
activity. They're generated when more people are working. I'm
focused on jobs on this Labor Day and every day because
that's the only way forward, and jobs are what Angelenos
need most right now.

Subject: CREDO: Secretary Clinton must oppose Social Security benefit cuts
CREDO Action released the following statement in response to a report that Secretary Hillary Clinton did not rule out
cuts to Social Security and raising the retirement age in her remarks at a campaign event in New Hampshire on
Wednesday:
“Democratic primary voters deserve to know exactly where Secretary Clinton stands on Social
Security,” said Murshed Zaheed, CREDO’S deputy political director. “Sec. Clinton needs to draw a line in
the sand and make it clear that she will veto any bill that cuts Social Security benefits or raises the
retirement age.”
Secretary Clinton’s full remarks on Social Security at Wednesday’s “politics and eggs” luncheon at Saint Anselm
College can be found below:
Yes you know, I think there are three parts to what we have to do with social security and the first is we really
have to defend social security from the continuing efforts by some to privatize it, which I have been studying and
opposing for a long time because the numbers just don’t work out. And in the Bush administration when I was in
the Senate I was one of the leaders in the fight against the Bush plan to privatize and it is something that I
number 1 , we’ll focus on: we are not going to privatize social security. Secondly, I am concerned about those
people on social security who are most vulnerable in terms of what their monthly payout is. That is primarily
divorced, widowed, single women who either never worked themselves or worked only a little so they have either
just their own earnings to depend on or they had a spouse who also was a low wage worker and the first and
most important task I think is to make sure that we get the monthly payment for the poorest social security
recipients up. So that would be the first thing I would look at. Thirdly, we do have to consider ways to make sure
that the funding of social security does maintain the system. I think we have a number of options, this would be
something that I would look at, I do not favor raising the retirement age. And I don’t favor it because it might be
fine for somebody like me, but the vast majority of working people who have worked hard and have had a difficult,
maybe last couple of decades trying to continue to work, it would be very challenging for them. If there were a
way to do it that would not penalize or punish laborers and factory workers and long distance truck drivers and

people who really are ready for retirement at a much earlier age, I would consider it. But I have yet to find any
recommendation that I would think would be suitable. And I want to look at raising the cap, I think that’s
something we should look at how we do it, because I don’t want it to be an extra burden on middle class families
and in some parts of the country, you know, there’s a different level of income that defines middle class. So what
do we skip and what level do we start at? And we have to consider that. So those are my three priorities in
looking at social security.
BACKGROUND
CREDO has played a leading role in the fight to stop any cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and expand
the programs. Here are some highlights of CREDO’S work so far in 2015:
200.000 ACTIVISTS TO BOEHNER: NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS: In response to House Republicans’
January rule change that stopped the routine reallocation of Social Security payroll tax income from the old-age program
to the disability program, more than 200,000 CREDO activists signed a rapid response petition telling Speaker Boehner
and House Republicans not to use the rule change to force benefit cuts.

attacking disabled Americans and keep [his] hands off of Social Security.”

Event in New Haven with child development folks emphasizing advocacy for kids from her time at Yale. Visit

Maybe go the other way to get her out of being a traditional politician.

Dear Friend:

Prop. 32 would rig the political landscape to favor big corporations. It
exempts the same special interests that are funding the campaign

They are pouring millions of dollars into last minute ads to deceive

Latest version below and attached:
STATEMENT FROM JOHN PODESTA
Hillary Clinton has spoken out for decades against extremists who pervert the world's great religions to justify brutality against women and girls. That is what Republicans
are attacking her for.
ISIS claims their religious faith justifies forcing Yazidi women in Iraq into sexual slavery. Does Governor Bush think we should respect that practice?
The Taliban torture women in Afghanistan in the name of their twisted version of Islam. Does Governor Jindal think that is acceptable? What about forced marriages,
honor killings, throwing acid in women's faces?
If Republicans think standing up to these atrocities is part of Hillary Clinton's progressive agenda, we are proud to agree. As a woman of faith herself, she won't hesitate
to condemn those who distort religious beliefs to justify barbaric actions. Such distortions are a grave affront to both the girls and women who being persecuted, as well
as the religions these barbarians attempt to use as cover for these heinous acts.

Jindal hit her on it today, too.
Given that development, consensus in Brooklyn is that we put the John statement out today. We can lay out the argument, get on the record,
get our allies to back us up on Twitter and then pick the battle back up next week - assuming that we don't get a lot of response today.
Christina - would you send the John statement back around so folks can see latest?
We thought we would give the statement to Rosie Gray of Buzzfeed first. She covers the republicans - think she will be more sympathetic to our
argument than one of our reporters.
What do folks think of this approach?

Bush in Iowa: ’I don't think we should politicize our faith’
AP | Thomas Beaumont and Catherine Lucey
WASHINGTON, Iowa (AP) — Jeb Bush cautioned against blending politics and religion Wednesday,
signaling he will not necessarily heed the pope or pander to social conservatives in Iowa in his policy agenda
for the Republican presidential nomination.

"I don't think we should politicize our faith," he said, speaking in a state where evangelical Christians wield
significant political influence. "I think religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about
things that end up getting into the political realm.”
His comments came on the eve of an encyclical by Pope Francis that is expected to endorse the scientific
view that human activity contributes to climate change — a conclusion challenged by many Republicans and
several of the party's candidates for president.
Bush, who converted to Catholicism, suggested he will not be beholden to a faith-driven policy agenda
wherever it comes from because his religion is a personal beacon, not a political roadmap.
"I go to church to have my faith nourished, to have my faith challenged," the former Florida governor told
reporters after the outdoor meeting with about 75 eastern Iowa Republicans in the backyard of a local
supporter. "That's why I go to Mass. I don't go to Mass for economic policy or for things in politics."
On the coming encyclical, he said he would read and reflect on it. "I think Pope Francis is an extraordinary
leader of a church whose teachings I try to follow, and it doesn't need to get any more complicated than
that," Bush said. "But I think it's better to solve this in the political realm."
Bush has said he accepts the scientific premise that the climate is changing and believes that examining the
causes should be a priority. But he's contended that the science is not clear on how much global warming
comes from human activity.
Bush, on his first visit to Iowa as a declared candidate, was asked at a public event what he would do to put
God in public life. He sidestepped somewhat, saying he would more broadly promote the defense of religious
liberty. "The next president needs to establish religious freedom as one of the first freedoms," he said.
Daniel Wright, a 32-year-old electronics salesman from eastern Iowa, said Bush was unafraid of the question,
which impressed him, but he felt he dodged it.
"Specifically, I was talking about God, not religion collectively, from a Christian point of view," Wright
said. "I would have loved to have kept the question on God and not religion as a whole."
It was a rapid introduction to Iowa caucus politics for Bush, whose positions on immigration and education
have raised questions among some on the right about whether he's conservative enough. He's been reaching
out to influential Christian conservatives for months but has spent less time in Iowa than some other
leading rivals.
Iowa Christian conservative groups have already held gatherings for activists where presidential prospects
have spoken, though Bush has not. Some candidates also aggressively court pastors, who can be influential
among parishioners, especially in evangelically conservative northwest Iowa. It's a segment of Republican
primary voters that is also influential in parts of South Carolina, where Bush travels Thursday.
At least eight candidates have confirmed they plan to participate in the July conference of the Iowa Family
Leader, a Christian-based policy group. Bush has not attended any such events, although he went to an Iowa
agricultural policy conference and the Iowa Republican Party's spring dinner last month.
The past two caucus winners were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2008, and former Pennsylvania
Sen. Rick Santorum in 2012, both of whom heavily courted evangelical Christians.

And also, here is what Bush actually said today:
And that's what's missing right now. In fact, Hillary Clinton said
something about a month ago that was just striking to me. Because I've
given this a lot of thought and I'm deeply troubled about not just Christian
persecution in around the world, but also now this belief that if you
believe in God or I'm a Catholic and I'm informed by my faith on a lot of
things that somehow you just got to get over it. And she said something
to the effect of if your religious beliefs comes in conflict with a woman's
right to choose or something or some other social issue you just got to
get over it. Well I respect people who may not agree with my views. I'm
not judgmental. I'm not here to say I'm righteous and therefore you're
not.
12:03
But we're now at a point where people who do have faith and it guides
their decisions, that somehow they need us to keep it in a lock box
somewhere. Keep it at home and you can't go act on it. And I think that
is where we take our stand. I think people of faith have created a better
country, a more loving place where people act on their faith to deal with
children that are abandoned and abused, to deal with the homeless, to
deal with people that are just getting out of prison. If you look at the
plight of people, you'll generally find that people acting on their faith on in
the front lines of trying to help because that's the definition of their
success and their compassion as people. And so we do need to restore
this in a way that's not judgmental, not intolerant, all the stuff that many
people that don't have faith accuse people of faith of having. There
should be in a big country like ours enough space for everybody.

I know we are still discussing whether to do the hit today or not, but for
awareness, we pulled her record for standing up for women around the world
as secretary of state
Hillary Worked To Empower Women At The
State Department And Around The World
Hillary Clinton Elevated The State Department’s Office Of
Global Women’s Issues By Appointing Its First-Ever
Ambassador-At-Large. “One of the first things I did as Secretary
was to elevate the Office of Global Women’s Issues by appointing the
first ever Ambassador at Large to take the lead on identifying concrete
ways the United States could work to secure the human rights of women
worldwide. We see this as a moral imperative and a high-reward political,
economic, and security strategy.” [Hillary Clinton remarks on “Making
Human Rights a Human Reality,” 12/6/12 ]
Hillary Clinton “Placed Women’s Rights And Needs On The
Agenda At International Conferences, On Trips, And
Throughout The State Department Itself.” “Clinton and her
handpicked ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues, Melanne
Verveer, placed women’s rights and needs on the agenda at international
conferences, on trips, and throughout the State Department itself.
Clinton institutionalized this way of conducting foreign policy in 2010 in a
first-time ‘quadrennial review’ that mentioned women more than 100
times, followed by a March 2012 directive billed as the department’s

Hillary Clinton Teamed Up With Other Countries To “Break
Down Barriers To Women’s Political And Economic
Empowerment.” “President Obama issued a challenge before the
United Nations General Assembly in September 201 1 to break down
barriers to women’s political and economic empowerment. [...] In
response to this challenge, on September 24, 2012, Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton launched the Equal Futures Partnership on behalf of the
United States along with 12 other founding members.” [Equal Futures
Partnership face sheet, WhiteHouse.gov , 9/24/12 ]
Hillary Clinton Developed The First-Ever U.S. National
Action Plan On Women, Peace, and Security To “Advance
Women’s Participation In Making And Keeping Peace
Around The World.” “In the U.S. government, former secretary of
State Hillary Clinton has been the staunchest ally to women in
Afghanistan, who have been anxious about her departure for years. As
America’s top diplomat, Clinton was able to develop the first-ever U.S.
National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security-a five-point
initiative designed to advance women’s participation in making and
keeping the peace around the world.” [MSNBC, 2/15/13 ]
Planned Parenthood: Hillary Clinton Left “An Incredible
Policy Framework For Promoting Women’s Rights.”
“Secretary Clinton left an incredible policy framework for promoting
women’s rights — under her leadership, the State Department issued
numerous policies that aim to ensure women’s rights are a top priority
throughout our foreign policy, from the National Action Plan on Women,
Peace and Security, to the USAID Policy Guidance on Promoting Gender
Equality to the United States Strategy to Prevent and Respond to
Gender-Based Violence Globally. [...] As Clinton said in an interview with
Andrea Mitchell this week about her leadership on women’s health and
rights, ‘I do value it as part of my legacy because I think it’s
commonsense. If we don’t pay attention to the lives and roles of
women, we will pay a price.’” [Planned Parenthood, 2/1/13 ]
Gail Collins: Hillary Clinton Worked To Ensure U.S.
Diplomacy Would Promote Women’s Empowerment “Many
Secretaries Down The Line.” A Gail Collins column in the New
York Times stated, “At State, she’s dug deep into the bureaucracy,
trying to ensure that American diplomacy will be promoting women’s
empowerment many secretaries down the line. ‘We’ve created some
positions,’ Clinton said, making a list. ‘We have embedded it in the
quadrennial diplomacy and development review process...’ That’s the
thing about Hillary Clinton. Most famous woman in the world, but still a
sucker for the quadrennial diplomacy and development review process.”
[Gail Collins, New York Times, 11/10/12 ]
Pam Platt: With Hillary Clinton “At The Helm” Of The State
Department, “Women Were Regarded, Not Disregarded.”
According to Courier-Journal editorial director Pam Platt, “For four years,
with her at the helm of State, women were regarded, not disregarded.
And if that isn’t a spectacular achievement, I don’t know what is. As she
exits the national stage for a while and for whatever comes next for her,
I think we need to thank her for moving the needle, at least a little, for
women and children throughout the world. I also think we need to take a
lesson from her example of being there - in a place, in a moment, in a
context - in our own lives and in the lives of others. And to know that
each of us has the capacity to spread our tiny time pills, too, no title
necessary.” [Pam Platt, Courier-Journal, 2/10/13 ]
Hillary Led International Efforts To Combat
Gender-Based Violence And Discrimination
Hillary Clinton Took The Lead In Passing A UN Resolution
Aimed At Combating Sexual Violence In Conflict Areas.
“More than 60 countries, led by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
asked the United Nations on Wednesday to appoint a special envoy for a
global fight against the rape of women and children during war. The U.N.
Security Council, chaired by Clinton because the United States holds the
revolving presidency, unanimously passed a resolution in a bid to stop
sexual violence during conflicts and to end impunity.” [Reuters, 9/30/09 ]
Hillary Clinton’s State Department Launched The “First
U.S. Strategy To Prevent And Respond To Gender-Based
Violence Globally.” “Because so much violence against women and
girls takes place within their homes and communities, and often in the
form of harmful traditional practices like female genital mutilation and so-
called ‘honor crimes,’ we’ve launched the first U.S. Strategy to Prevent
and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally.” [Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton Applauded The Efforts Of Malala Yousafzai
“And The Millions Of Other Girls And Women Who Are
Risking Their Lives To Get An Education.” “Hillary Clinton
honored Malala Yousafzai Monday at a UNESCO event in Paris on
International Human Rights Day. [...] Today, we stand together with
Malala and the millions of other girls and women who are risking their
lives to get an education,” Clinton said via video message. “Girls with
secondary schooling are far less likely to become child brides. They are
more likely to earn better incomes when they begin working. They will
have smaller families, and their children will be healthier.’” [MSNBC, 12/
10 / 12 ]
Hillary Clinton Rebuked Saudi Arabia For Its Ban On
Women Drivers And Publicly Applauded The Efforts Of
“Brave” Saudi Women Who Drove In Protest. “Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton today voiced her support for a group of women in
Saudi Arabia who last week defied their nation's ban on women drivers.
Clinton said that the U.S. has expressed its disapproval of the driving
ban to ‘the highest level of the Saudi government,’ but she stressed that
last week's demonstrations were not spurred by any U.S. involvement.
[...] This is about Saudi women themselves, they have joined together,
they are acting on behalf of their own rights,’ she said. This is not about
the United States, it is about the women of Saudi Arabia. And what
these women are doing is brave, and what they are seeking is right. But
the effort belongs to them.’” [CBS News, 6/21/1 1 ]
Hillary Clinton Intervened To Stop A Child Marriage In
Saudi Arabia. “In her memoir, ‘Hard Choices,’ Mrs. Clinton tells of
quietly intervening when Saudi Arabian courts refused a mother’s pleas
to block the marriage of her 8-year-old daughter to a 50-year-old man.
‘Fix this on your own, and I won’t say a word,” she recalled telling the
Saudis. A new judge, she wrote, quickly approved the divorce.” [New
York Times, 3/8/15 ]
Hillary Clinton’s State Department Worked Actively To
Address The Issue Of Gender-Biased Sex Selection. The
State Department’s “Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based
Violence Globally,” stated, “The Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s
Issues (S/GWI) regularly coordinates with other Department of State
bureaus and United States Government agencies on issues including
child marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, ‘honor’ related crimes,
girls’ access to education, gender biased sex selection, discriminatory
treatment of widows, sexual violence in conflict, and intimate partner
violence, among many others.” [“United States Strategy to Prevent and
Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally,” U.S. Department of

I think we should just be clear about exactly what news we want

I would favor sticking with asking why they didn't speak out

Talked this over with our SC director. I think we should do
this at NALEO rather than Charleston.
1) the first time HRC directly responds in person to Jeb,
she really has to nail it and he crowd needs to respond
well. I don't think he crowd is going to get it in Charleston.
Think there is an easier way to build it into NALEO.
2) We should also make sure we have women lined up to
defend her when we do this and don't feel like we'd be
ready to do that this afternoon, but could be tomorrow.

3) I talked this over with John and he made good point that
we need to work to get this into the Muslim space -
meaning that we need to make clear that she is talking
about groups like Boko Haram that prevent Islam to use as
cover for barbaric practices. So think our language needs
work to make that clear - like specifically name check
groups that do these kinds of practices so it is clear who
we are talking about. Maybe do a "catalog of sins," as
Mandy calls it.
4) For all these reasons, I would wait and do this
tomorrow. I get NALEO is not amazing place to do this
either, but better. And we can give her some time to
internalize the language. Since press has not really picked
up on the hit, I think we have a day to wait, but would not
let it go beyond Thursday.
Thoughts?

in the hilarious
juvenile “That’s

joke, and that’s all
reporters talked
about.
In fact Bush pulled
that small quote
from Clinton’s
inspiring “Women
in the World”
speech in April -
and in doing so,
shamelessly
distorted its
meaning. And he
got his slur from
the far
right: Glenn
Beck’s The
Blaze and Tuck

Caller tried to
make the case
that Clinton’s
words applied to
domestic disputes
over abortion and
contraception at
the time - but
nobody fell for it,
because it was
such a silly claim.
So far, Bush has
gotten away with
it. But he
shouldn’t.
Clinton was talking
about countries
where girls don’t
go to high school,
where domestic
violence is legal,
where high
maternal mortality
rates are tolerated.
And she did say:
“Deep-seated
cultural codes,
religious beliefs,
and structural
biases have to be
changed.”
Look at those four
words in the
context of her
speech. Here’s
what Clinton said:

number of
countries

but still more than
half the nations in

Yes, we’ve cut the

21st century, and

— and not just in
far away countries
but right here in
the United States.
So does Jeb Bush
object to any or all
of that? Is he
against closing the
gender gap in
education in the
developing world?
(In the U.S.,
women outpace
men in educational
attainment, so
Clinton clearly
wasn’t talking
about this
country.) Is he for
domestic violence
(the same is true;
we have those
laws here)? Does
he oppose efforts
to cut the maternal
mortality rate?
What, exactly, is
objectionable in
what Clinton said?
Bush, of course,
put Clinton’s
words in an
entirely different
context: the
domestic battle
over the
“conscience
clause” in the
Affordable Care
Act, and the larger
clash over so-
called “religious
freedom” laws
around marriage

here’s what he
said:

trouble to come.
Secretary Clinton
insists that when
the progressive
agenda encounters
religious beliefs to
the contrary, those
beliefs, quote,
“have to be
changed.” That’s
what she said, and
I guess we should
at least thank her
for the warning.
“That’s what she
said.” Nyuk-nyuk.
Bush went on to
hit the high point
of his speech, his
defense of the
Little Sisters of the
Poor, a group of
Catholic nuns who
have objected to
using the
conscience clause
in the ACA that
would let them
refuse to provide
contraception to
employees. Now
remember:
there is a
conscience clause
that lets religious
charities out of the
contraception
mandate. Some
feminist groups
weren’t happy
about its addition
to the law. But the
Little Sisters sued
the federal
government
claiming that even
having to exercise
that option -
signing a paper
attesting to their
religious objection
to the law -
infringes their
religious freedom,
and might open
the door to a third
party providing
contraception.
(The government
says it doesn’t.)

Bush ignored all
that, of course,
and delivered this
applause line: “It
comes down to a
choice between
the Little Sisters
and Big Brother,
and I’m going with
the Sisters.” It got
him a huge
ovation, though I
thought it was
dangerous for him
to bring up the
notion of “Big
Brother,” given
that his own big
brother’s failed
presidency haunts
his campaign.
But back to the
point: Hillary
Clinton didn’t
suggest that the
religious beliefs of
the Little Sisters of
the Poor, or
anyone else, “have
to be changed.”
Bush knows that.
And he got away
with the blatant
misrepresentation
of her views, until
now.
Just like he got
away with claiming
last week
that the unwed
mother-shaming
Scarlet Letter law
Florida adopted
while he was
governor was
actually designed
to increase child
support collection.
Since it only
applied to cases
where unmarried
mothers were
giving up children
for adoption, it had
absolutely nothing
to do with child
support. Bush

the most

So far, though, the
only mainstream
criticism of Bush’s
campaign holds
that it’s
“joyless I agree
with that
assessment, but
that’s the least of
it. Bush does
seem like he’s
playing the self-

grownup running a
reluctant campaign
made necessary

dynasty in the

him use his large

all of them in the

Brian Deese and I have an op-ed in today’s Washington Post (pasted below) that draws on a new CEA report
(attached) on the underappreciated surprise in the U.S. oil market: that the consumption of petroleum was slightly lower in
2014 than in 1997 in fact was 6.6 million barrels per day less than what was forecast in 2003. This surprise is nearly twice
the surprising increase in petroleum production — and the consumption surprise is expected to grow over time, in part due
to policies like the heavy duty truck rule being released today by the EPA and DOT
The boon of reduced oil consumption
By Brian Deese and Jason Furman
The average American family is on pace to save about $700 at the pump this year. One reason for this has been widely
reported: A historic increase in U.S. oil production has increased global supply and put downward pressure on prices.
But a potentially even more important reason has gotten far less attention — a historic decline in the amount of oil that our
economy is consuming. Indeed, in 2014 Americans used less petroleum than they did in 1997, despite the fact that the
economy is nearly 50 percent larger than it was 17 years ago. A new report this week by the Council of Economic
Advisers documents that this drop in consumption is one of the biggest surprises in global oil markets in the past decade.
If it continues, it will have positive implications for our economy, our national security and our efforts to combat climate
change.
After a half-century in which it generally rose, U.S. oil consumption leveled off and has begun to decline. No one expected
this development. The Energy Information Administration (EIA), which produces some of the most influential and well-
regarded forecasts in the field, until recently consistently projected increases in oil consumption. In fact, U.S. consumption
in 2014 was 6.4 million barrels per day below the projection it made in 2003 — an amount greater than the oil produced by
Iraq and Kuwait combined and about twice the magnitude of the unexpected increase in U.S. oil production. Importantly,
that decline in consumption is not expected to be just a passing phenomenon: The latest forecasts for U.S. oil consumption
through 2025 are relatively flat.
We are already seeing the benefits of this. The drop in consumption relative to expectations has helped reduce U.S. net
imports of petroleum by nearly half, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and our macroeconomic vulnerability to rises
and falls in the world price of oil. By reducing net U.S. oil usage by the equivalent of about 10 percent of global
production, these developments have contributed to the decline in the global price of oil over the past year. And the decline
in the consumption of oil has contributed to the nearly 10 percent decline in overall U.S. carbon emissions from 2005 to
2014, one of many ways in which smart energy policies can also be good for our efforts to mitigate climate change and
protect the health of our children.
Click here for more information!
Moreover, this is a truly American story. Over this period, we have not seen similar declines in most other advanced
economies. For example, the percentage reduction among European economies has been roughly half of that in the United
States.
So what is behind this trend and what can we do to continue it? The majority of the decline in oil consumption has been in

the transportation sector, but the industrial, residential and commercial sectors have come in below expectations as well.
To date, about three-quarters of the decline in the transportation sector has been due to a reduction in the number of miles
driven, which is explained not only by the fallout from the Great Recession and gasoline prices that exceeded pre-crisis
levels until mid-2014 but also demographic shifts, such as the aging of the population and the retirement of the baby
boomers, that are likely to persist. The other quarter of the decline is due to increased efficiency, in part because of new
rules requiring a more fuel-efficient fleet. Moreover, the fact that we have replaced about 10 percent of our transportation
fuels with biofuels, thanks to a bipartisan law enacted by Congress in 2007, has further reduced our reliance on imported
fossil fuels.
Efficiency is expected to matter even more — it is projected to account for nearly half of the reduction in consumption in
2025 relative to past projections — as the vehicle mileage rules continue to phase in.
New policies the administration is announcing Friday to improve fuel efficiency for heavy-duty vehicles will help build on
this trend. Heavy-duty trucks are the fastest growing component of the transportation sector and are responsible for about
one-fifth of its energy use and carbon emissions.
In addition, the president is pushing for Congress to increase our investments in transportation infrastructure, including a
70 percent increase in transit investments that would help reduce miles traveled by expanding transportation options.
Together with other policies to reduce emissions from power plants, cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sectors
and phase down the use hydrofluorocarbons, this would help us hit the U.S. goal of reducing carbon emissions by 26
percent to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 — a goal the president formalized this year as part of our efforts to lead
the world toward a global agreement on climate change. And as the recent trends have shown, it would put to rest the idea
that we must choose between fighting climate change and growing our economy: Improving fuel efficiency standards for
cars, trucks and other vehicles allows us to do both.

Letter from Green Dot Public Schools re charter school comments
MP Clinton letter.pdf
Hi Maya, Ann, Jake, John:
Hope you’re all doing well, I’m sure this week has been nothing short of intense for your team. I thought
Secretary Clinton’s speech at the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday was excellent, due in no small part to
all of your efforts, I’m sure. She is clearly our next Commander in Chief, and the only one qualified to manage
this complicated and dangerous world we exist in.
I’m reaching out today on behalf of Green Dot Public Schools , in response to comments made throughout the
week regarding charter schools. Green Dot is a non-profit public school organization headquartered and
founded in Los Angeles, whose teachers are unionized and whose schools accept the entire attendance
boundary of students, including students with disabilities. As you can read in detail in the attached letter from
Green Dot CEO Marco Petruzzi, Green Dot is a model for schools everywhere and is committed to transforming
public education for ALL students. They do successful school turnarounds of the most severely failing schools
better than anyone in the country. Their story and example is an important voice in the debate about charter
schools, and I hope you will read and share this information with Secretary Clinton.
Green Dot would welcome a school visit from someone on the campaign at one of their schools in Los Angeles,
Memphis, or Tacoma, and I’d be happy to arrange a conference call with Marco to answer any questions about
further details on this complicated policy issue.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and attached letter, and thank you for all you are doing to elect
our next President Clinton. I’m proud to be on this journey with you.
Best,
Hannah

Going forward, I will continue doing my part for transparency and accountability, and I look

what’s most important to everyday American families -- raising incomes, making college more

One thought on her doing press on Sunday vs Monday: whether the press wants to
cover it or not, we have pretty hefty policy to roll out on Monday, so if we get this out
of the way Sunday, the policy gives us a nice way to move forward. We could even
have her come out against Keystone on Monday as well (not sure where that
stands), which will solicit criticism but that might help distract from emails. Kind of
like bundling taxes, health, and email last Friday.
In any case, I would vote for having her address this Sunday, so we can legitimately
claim she's trying to move on and address what voters care about on Monday.
Just a thought.

but I think she needs to nod to that mentality too, sooner rather than

I think calling a reporter out of the blue would check that box, but
maybe either way we need something a little more specific in here

Subject: RE: Email statement
It's a good statement. Two suggestions.
1) I can see why you might not want to say who the turnover was to, but
it seems to me omitting this may be misinterpreted and certainly will
trigger another round of questioning. This may defeat the whole point of
the exercise. The statement could be read to imply we turned over the
thumb drive and server to the State Department— which we didn't ("There
they go again — misleading, devious, non-transparent, tricky etc."). I
would recommend saying "to the Department of Justice."
2) Maybe it's only me, but "hand over" seems a little pejorative— how
about just "turn over"?

National Journal: “Clinton Ally Defending Her From Keystone Attacks”
By Emily Schultheis
January 22, 2015
[Subtitle:] The Democratic opposition research firm Correct the Record is touting her record on energy.
Hillary Clinton has long avoided addressing whether she supports the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline - a project that earns rare
bipartisan support in the Senate but is opposed by the Obama administration. Her latest dodge came in Canada, where she gave two paid
speeches Wednesday and offered no comment on the subject.
But she's now getting an assist from a leading Democratic opposition research firm in defending her record on energy. Correct the Record, an arm
of American Bridge which is closely allied with Clinton's campaign, will release a new report today boosting the former Secretary of State's record
on other energy issues, a move that comes as the new Republican-controlled Senate debates a Keystone vote.
The report lists nine areas where Clinton was involved in energy-related efforts, including "fighting for clean energy" in the Senate and "prioritizing
cleaner energy worldwide."
Speaking at a "Global Perspectives" event in Winnipeg Wednesday, Clinton again declined to state her position on the pipeline, a move that
dominated much of the coverage following the speech. "We have differences and you won't get me to talk about Keystone because I have steadily
made it clear that I'm not going to express an opinion," she said. "It is in our process and that's where it belongs." (She's previously said it would be
inappropriate for her to offer a position either way, given her tenure at State and the State Department's ongoing formal review process.)
The report, titled, "Hillary Clinton: Smart Energy Innovation," doesn't mention Keystone, but focuses on Clinton's efforts on other aspects of energy
policy from her tenure in the U.S. Senate and as Secretary of State.

"Hillary Clinton's record on energy policy and the environment demonstrates that she acutely recognizes the challenges and realities we face,"
Correct the Record spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said. "She has fought to advance clean, alternative energy solutions to create jobs, boost our
economy and preserve the environment for future generations."
While in the Senate, Correct the Record notes, Clinton co-sponsored legislation like the Clean Power Act and the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act
to encourage better technologies for power plants and vehicles. She also co-sponsored the Electric Reliability Act to help modernize America's
power grid.
At State, Clinton helped coordinate a regional partnership with other countries in the Americas to promote clean energy development and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. The report also notes her role in launching the U.S.-Africa Clean Energy Finance Initiative, as well as her efforts to
bring China to the table to cooperate on energy and environmental goals.
Correct the Record has put out similar reports to bolster Clinton's record on other issues: they began with one on the economy last spring and
have hit on the former Secretary of State's record on issues such as foreign policy, minimum wage raises and education. As the sole group
defending Clinton ahead of her expected 2016 campaign, Correct the Record has worked to get out ahead of Clinton critics on issues as they
arise.
Keystone, in particular, is a politically fraught issue for Clinton, because taking a stance either way would disappoint different segments of the
Democratic electorate. By saying she supports construction of the pipeline, which would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast, Clinton would put
herself at odds with the White House, which has vowed a veto should Republicans pass legislation approving it. And among key Democratic
constituencies, environmental groups oppose the pipeline, while labor leaders have said it would help create jobs.
Asked about Clinton's lack of a position Keystone, Watson echoed Clinton's own rationale for not commenting on the issue.
"Secretary Clinton has repeatedly stated that, as the former Secretary of State who oversaw the department charged with completing the
environmental assessment of the Keystone project, it would be inappropriate to comment and risk influencing the process until this assessment is
complete."
Politico: “McDonough: Hillary ‘would be a very good president’”
By Jennifer Epstein
January 22, 2015, 1:30 p.m. EST
White House chief of staff Denis McDonough says he’s not losing sleep thinking about how the dynamic between President Barack Obama and
likely presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will shake out as the 2016 campaign heats up.
“I don’t worry about it,” he said Thursday at a POLITICO Playbook Lunch. Clinton showed little distance in a speech Wednesday from the positions
the president took during his State of the Union address but left room to eventually highlight differences, from his right or his left.
After working closely with Clinton during her four years as secretary of state and having a clear understanding of how the presidency works,
McDonough said he’s optimistic about her ability to do the job. “She would be a very good president.”

Page 934
McDonough also described Clinton as “absolutely dogged,” “very strategic” and a “really . . . decent and caring person” who “embodies the best of
what I’ve seen in this town.”
McDonough sat down with POLITICO’S Mike Allen just as the White House told reporters that the president will not be meeting with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a March visit that was first announced by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who had not consulted with
the White House.
The chief of staff wouldn’t say much about the White House’s reaction to the invitation but did say that “the president has always seen the
relationship with Israel as something that’s above partisan politics.”
He later added that it’s “not a question of anger so much as a question of making sure that we’re continuing to apply that historic and traditional
view” about the importance of the U.S.-lsrael relationship. “I don’t want to jump to any conclusions” about whether the flap will derail any
relationships.
Drawing on military practice, McDonough’s West Wing forms “red teams” to address issues. One, led by just-elevated senior adviser Brian Deese,
is a “contingencies group” that began working in the late summer to prepare for the State of the Union address and the new Congress, McDonough
said. Deese was determined that the lame duck session of Congress last year would be “the start of a new and refreshing period” instead of the
end of an old period.
Another red team examined the State of the Union address for potential vulnerabilities and yet another is working on “exactly what we can expect
from our Republican colleagues in the House and Senate” and preparing to respond to them and work with them.
The White House chose to send Obama to red states — Idaho and Kansas — for his post-State of the Union tour to emphasize that he is reaching
out to the whole country and not just heavily Democratic states. “By the use of his time he wants to make clear what he said at the end of his
speech, which is that the country is not as deeply divided” as some in Washington would suggest, McDonough said.
Many Democrats on Capitol Hill are opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, but it’s an area where some of the president’s own
party and the vast majority of Republicans agree. Obama is planning to push ahead aggressively this year, McDonough said. Though the odds
seem good for the administration, “we’re not banking anything — we’re gonna work this hard,” he said.
McDonough volunteered cybersecurity as another area where he expects to see Congress and the White House make progress this year.
CNN: “No. Hillary Clinton didn't go to Canada with 65 Secret Service agents”
By Dan Merica and Cassie Spodak
January 22, 2015, 3:57 p.m. EST
Hillary Clinton did not have 65 Secret Service agents protecting her in Canada on Wednesday, a Secret Service source told CNN, despite a report
from a Canadian radio station to the contrary.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 935
News Talk 980 CJME, a local radio station in Saskatoon, reported on Wednesday night that a security supervisor from the venue hosting Clinton
said "approximately 65 agents" were in house to protect the former first lady.
The news ballooned on Thursday morning when the conservative Weekly Standard cited the radio station in a post, the influential Drudge Report
linked to the story and the anti-Clinton super PAC America Rising blasted an email to reporters about Clinton's "army of Secret Service agents, paid
for at taxpayer expense."
All of this, however, was incorrect, says a source at the Secret Service.
"Although it's our policy not to discuss specific security measures, in this instance we can say this number is grossly inaccurate and exaggerated,"
the source said.
A Clinton spokesman declined to comment and referred CNN to the Secret Service.
Because Clinton is a former first lady and secretary of state, she regularly travels with a cadre of agents who protect her wherever she goes.
When Clinton is traveling for speaking engagements and events, her personal protection is regularly increased by local agents.
Washington Post bloa: PostEvervthina: Andrew Kohut. Pew Research Center founding director: “Why putting a Bush or
Clinton back in the White House could be harder than you think"
By Andrew Kohut
January 23, 2015, 6:00 a.m. EST
[Subtitle:] Having a familiar last name doesn't ensure a candidate’s victory. Sometimes it hurts.
The 2016 presidential campaign, now in full swing in the media and the political class, starts with a fundamental question: How can American voters,
who are so dissatisfied with Washington politics and the state of the nation, name the wife of one former president, and the son and brother of two
others as top candidates for the White House? National dissatisfaction is at a dismal 68 percent, and Americans’ confidence in their government
has been in steady decline for years. And yet, voters seem prepared to put two familiar names — Bush and Clinton — back at the helm. In recent
polls, Hillary Clinton led the Democratic field by an average 49.5 percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics. And Jeb Bush led the crowded
GOP field by an average 5.8 percentage points, when Mitt Romney is taken out of consideration. (When Romney’s name is included, he becomes
the top choice of the Republicans by an average 8.8 percentage points, and Bush slips into second.)
Though neither has officially declared candidacy, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush would share a common challenge on the campaign trail: How will the
legacies of their familial predecessors effect their chances of winning the election? Having a familial tie can be a boon for a presidential candidate:
two first sons have risen to the White House. But having a familiar last name doesn’t ensure a candidate’s victory. Senator Robert A. Taft, eldest
child of President William Howard Taft, sought the Republican nomination for president three times and failed. The value of being related to a former
president when running for the Oval Office can hinge on several factors, including the past president’s own popularity, the severity of his political
problems, and how closely voters link him to the legacy candidate. On all three measures, Hillary Clinton is in a much better position than Jeb Bush.
For one, Bill Clinton has been a more popular ex-president than George W. Bush for some time. In a September 2012 Pew Research Center
national survey, President Bill Clinton had a 68 percent favorability rating, compared to President George W. Bush’s 41 percent. There is some
10/18/2016

Page 936
good news for Jeb Bush: Public opinion of his older brother has become considerably more positive since then, and the popularity gap with
President Bill Clinton has narrowed. A spring 2014 Gallup Poll found 64 percent of the public rating Bill Clinton favorably, while Bush’s ratings had
climbed to 53 percent. Over time, Americans tend forgive, to some degree, those presidents who were unpopular when they left office.
Within their own parties, both former presidents have high favorability ratings from likely voters. However, analysis of data from the 2012 Pew
survey found Clinton’s “very favorable” rating among likely Democratic voters dwarfed Bush’s comparable rating among likely GOP voters (64
percent to 39 percent). Given W.’s improved overall ratings, that gap in likely-voter opinion has probably diminished, but not disappeared.
Still, popularity alone doesn’t ensure former presidents will be assets to relatives on the campaign trail. A contentious campaign could resurrect
some highly charged, negative images from President George W. Bush’s and President Bill Clinton’s pasts, potentially undermining Jeb Bush’s and
Hillary Clinton’s standings. In Hillary Clinton’s case, that means facing several of her husband’s personal scandals, including Gennifer Flowers,
Whitewater, and Monicagate. For Jeb Bush, it means answering for some of his brother’s perceived political mistakes: Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and
the Great Recession. All will remind voters in their respective parties of incidents they would rather forget.
But at this very early stage, a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Thursday finds Hillary Clinton is suffering less than Jeb Bush from the
negative legacy. A greater number of respondents said Bill Clinton’s presidency makes them more likely to support Hillary Clinton (23 percent) than
said it makes them less likely to support her (14 percent). And 62 percent say the Bill Clinton presidency makes no impact on their support for
Hillary at all.
Jeb Bush’s family connections are not as positive. While most respondents (55 percent) said the Bush presidencies don’t affect their position on
Jeb Bush, when there is an effect, it’s usually negative. In the poll, 33 percent of adults said they are less likely to support Jeb Bush given that his
father and brother served as president, while just 1 1 percent said they’re more likely to back him.
Besides the legacy factor, these candidates face another major challenge: neither is likely to be the first choice of the more ideological wings of their
respective parties. Jeb Bush may well be a hard sell to tea party Republicans, as he has been seen as not conservative enough on immigration
and economic issues. A mid-December ABC/Washington Post poll of Republican voters found Jeb Bush leading the field with 14 percent, just ahead
of Rand Paul and Paul Ryan (the poll did not include Romney). But the lead was not statistically significant, and the pollsters noted that the former
Florida governor lost ground as voters became more conservative: He had 18 percent among moderate Republican voters, but 12 percent among
very conservative voters. The December CNN/ORC International poll did show Bush significantly ahead of the rest of the field at 23 percent in its
nomination trial heat (which also didn’t include Romney). But it noted that many Republican respondents said they were less likely to support him
when heard his stance on important issues for conservatives. When they learned that he never signed a pledge to oppose all new taxes, 38
percent said they were less likely to support him. When they found out that he described illegal immigration as an “act of love” showing concern
about families, 42 percent were less supportive.
At this point there is little indication that liberal Democrats are less enamored with Hillary Clinton than moderate or conservative party members. In
fact, just the opposite. A February 2014 PRC poll showed 87 percent of liberals saying they would like to see her run for president, while only 69
percent of other Democrats held that view. However, this preference may be unlikely to stick. In 2008, liberals backed Clinton over Barack Obama
early on, but by March, they significantly preferred Obama (53 percent) to the former first lady (36 percent). In contrast, conservative Democrats
were about evenly divided in their preferences for the two leading candidates.
The increasingly energized liberal wing of the Democratic Party - which has grown as Democrats have moved left on the role of government,
regulation of business and various social issues - ultimately may be looking for a more progressive candidate than Hillary Clinton. Gallup reported
last week a record number of self-identified liberals in its national surveys and found that 43 percent of Democrats identify as liberals. A moderate
candidate like Hillary Clinton, often described as pro-business, might have difficulty satisfying an increasingly liberal party.
There is a lot to suggest that both legacy front-runners will face significant challenges to hold their ground, though Jeb Bush appears to be at a
disadvantage. But the economy is a wild card in determining how tough the road will be for both candidates. It will be a while before voters fully
engage and seriously consider the alternative candidates to the legacy names, especially on the Democratic side. By then, the positive impacts of
an improved economy may well have reached a larger slice of the electorate and diminished their appetite for change. In turn, this may well lessen
the electorate’s demand for a fresh name in the White House. In the end, if the economy improves, both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush will profit.

MSNBC: “A new batch of endorsements for Clinton"
By Alex Seitz-Wald
January 22, 2015, 9:41 p.m. EST
Hillary Clinton is still likely several months away from making a presidential announcement, but she just added a slew of endorsements to her non-
campaign.
Ready for Hillary, the super PAC that has been laying the groundwork for a Clinton bid since early 201 3, will host an Asian-American and Pacific
Islander fundraiser in Washington Tuesday featuring almost a dozen Asian-American Democrats in Congress. The event is part of the super PAC’s
efforts to build a grassroots list of Clinton supporters, while also getting Democratic officials and officeholders to publicly commit to Clinton.
Neera Tanden, Clinton’s top policy adviser during her 2008 presidential campaign and the current president of the Center for American Progress, is
a featured speaker.
Honorary chairs include Sen. Mazie Hirono and 10 members of the House: Reps. Mike Honda, Doris Matsui, Judy Chu, Ami Bera, Madeleine
Bordallo, Tammy Duckworth, Ted Lieu, Grace Meng, Mark Takai, and Mark Takano.
Other hosts of the event include Democratic policy experts, like Obama White House economic adviser Ginger Lew, former Clinton White House
adviser Irene Bueno, and Third Way national security director Mieke Eoyang.
Tickets go for the group’s signature $20.16 price, and range up to $500 for chairs, according to an invitation.
Clinton, who spoke in Canada Wednesday night, is expected to announce her presidential ambitions in late spring.
Boston Globe: “Former Maine senator Olympia Snowe speaks at Symphony Hall”
By Mark Shanahan
January 23, 2015
Former Maine senator Olympia Snowe spoke at Symphony Hall this week as part of Lesley University’s Boston Speakers Series. The moderate
Republican spent 18 years in the Senate and now toils at the Washington think tank BipartisanPolicy.org. Among the field of presumptive
presidential candidates, Snowe said former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and former Florida governor Jeb Bush are likeliest to govern in a
bipartisan fashion.

Subject: Special Update: a toxic week for climate denial
LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
Dear John,
This headline in the Washington Fbst says it ail “ Why isn't climate denialism politically toxic? ”
As the story highlights, this is precisely what your investment in LCV is helping to change. For too long, too many politicians have been able to
espouse an extreme, anti-science view on climate change, stalling meaningful progress on this issue with little consequences.
With your support, LCV has launched an ambitious new campaign to change that.
• We began by releasing a bipartisan poll showing that young voters overwhelmingly view climate deniers as “crazy” and “ignorant”,
and that by overwhelming margins they support federal action on climate change.
• Last week, we followed up with hard-hitting ads targeting four climate change deniers in Congress, likely the first ever to focus
exclusively on their denial of climate science.
• On August 1 3, we partnered with Organizing for Action and some of our state leagues on a high-profile National Day of Action, involving
hundreds of LCV members across the country at grassroots events outside the offices of climate change denying Members of
Congress.
This campaign has already reached tens of millions through broad media coverage, and it is clear that we have struck a nerve with the deniers.
Of course, this is just the start. We know that oil barons - like David and Charles Koch - are spending millions of dollars to both undermine the
scientific consensus and to prop up climate deniers. So, this needs to be a long-term effort, but it’s one that we must win if we are ever going to
get serious about solving the looming climate crisis.
I hope you’ll read more highlights from this work below. Thanks again for all you do.
Onward,
Gene
Holding Climate Deniers Accountable
LCV launched a potent, nearly $2 million campaign to inform constituents if their Member of Congress is a climate denier and to put pressure on
the deniers themselves. The campaign includes television ads criticizing Senator Ron Johnson, Representative Mike Coffman, Representative
Rodney Davis, and Representative Dan Benishek for their extreme views in denying the proven science of climate change. LCV is urging their
constituents to contact these members of Congress to tell them that it’s time to act on climate change.
You can watch the ads by clicking the links: Senator Ron Johnson , Representative Mike Coffman , Representative Rodney
Davis , and Representative Dan Benishek .
Senator Ron Johnson is Having a Tiff
We have struck a nerve with the deniers. On the first day of the ad campaign, Senator Ron Johnson wrote a highly inappropriate and hyperbolic
response to our ad, accusing LCV of being on an “environmental jihad”. He wrote:
“The League of Conservation Voters is not an organization with a balanced approach to a cleaner environment. They are an extreme left
group on an environmental jihad.”
We can’t let him use name calling to distract from the damage he is doing by siding with polluters over people. That’s why we’re asking every
LCV supporter across the country to help us send Senator Johnson a message today: we expect him to change his stance on climate and we
won’t back down.
Tell Senator Johnson to apologize and to stop denying climate change. Already more than 30,000 people have signed our petition and I hope you
will join them by signing here .
Day of Action on Climate Change
We partnered with Organizing for Action to conduct grassroots events outside the offices of Members of Congress that deny climate change.
The joint effort delivered special “Climate Denier Awards” to more than 1 30 members of Congress. Hundreds of LCV members turned out in 1 5
cities across the country. Below are just a few photos from some of the events held around the country.

I think we can get Polis if we want him to. he does not like that he is painted as anti-fracking in the press and
this is an opportunity for him to push off sanders and appear more reasonable. It also benefits us — a win-win.
I am going to quietly check with Conservation Colorado (the state LCV) and see if they have an appetite for
pushing back on Sanders.
I think the Denver Post Ed Board could smack Sanders if we want them to but that makes it a bigger fight.
Keep in mind this is a busy news day in CO and we have had no media inquires. We can either start a fight or
line up the validators for when the Sanders starts the fight. I think the latter makes more sense but its a close
call.
So should I line up validators in Polis and local LCV while holding off on the Denver Post Ed Board until Sanders
engages?

I think we will be forced to weigh in by sanders and of course we have to state our position: it's a

made to our economy and our efforts to reduce carbon pollution. What we need to focus on is putting in place
common sense safeguards to protect our air and water, like mandatory disclosure of fracking chemicals, closing the
Halliburton loophole, regulations to reduce methane emissions from both new and existing sources. Hillary has
called for all of these things to make sure that those communities that choose to pursue natural gas development do

"The only candidate to oppose fracking"
What does that mean? A complete 100% fracking ban. There is no elected dem and I believe no
enviro group that takes this position. In fact, such an extreme position threatens the progress of
common-sense safety measures like frack fluid disclosure and methane capture/air quality
regulations.

The Denver Post Editorial Board could really smack him for this. This is tricky waters for caucus
goers but his language may leave him vulnerable.
Jared Polis is a regarded as a leader of the regulating fracking team in CO and his argument is
reforms, not a ban.
"Fracking can endanger our drinking water and threaten our climate"
For the fact check: The threaten our climate is based on methane released in the air when
extracting natural gas from the ground. Colorado mandates oil and gas pay for methane
capture technology to prevent the potent green house gas from escaping and the state issues
large fines to bad actors. Natural gas burns cleaner than other traditional energies so the
"threatens our climate" is about methane released during extraction which Colorado has already
addressed.
Still really tough for us to talk about.

v/o: Bernie Sanders. The courage to stand up to Big Oil, because he won't take their
money.
That's why Sanders said no to the Keystone pipeline, and never waffled.
He's also the only candidate to oppose fracking, because fracking can endanger our
drinking water and threaten our climate.
Sanders has the most far reaching plan to fight climate change and build a clean energy
future.
Bernie Sanders. People before polluters.

Subject: American Best Interest
Dear Mr. Podesta,
My name is Ken Coffin, I am a Canadian citizen residing in Edmonton Alberta Canada.
As a good neighbor and ally to the US, I was curious as to why NASA is feeding the Canadian Space Agency
with wrong or misinformation regarding certain anomaly scenarios that are occurring.
Our intelligence is limited. We rely on US-Canadian joint ventures to accomplish our goals which feed the US
new wonderful tools.
Why are we being shut out and shut down?
I take this personally both as a Citizen of Canada and as a member of the scientific community.
We cannot improve the ion drive systems if we are left out.
If the US does not want to continue our long standing friendship, and solely act in its own best interests, then we
can end the charade of NAFTA now.
We were technologically superior to the US.
We don't need the US.
I think, and you will agree, that without our contributions, the US would not have grown the way it has.
Canadians own Hollywood, New York, Florida, the Stanley Cup and by right, the Pennant that was stolen from
us due to the baseball strike.
By all rights and reason, we require full disclosure of all alien contact and all treaties the US has agreed to with
the aliens.
We might have weak intelligence, but we have ascertained that we are food, labor, and resource generators for
the alien over lords.
Our information came from your own DoD, casually and off the record by credible sources.
Now we want to know if we are going to be dealt a hand at the table or will we be left out like last time?
I represent a Canadian organization that doesn't exist that looks like DARPA, but works with the government to
pursue positive growth business.
Our interests lie in the contribution to the positive growth of humanity.
We think that we can make the world better, happier and more peaceful. But we can't do that if we are about to
see a mass extinction event occur.
Our historical data is wrong, our timelines are wrong, and with all the information being withheld or lied about,
we have a very bad feeling that the US is leading us into a trap.
If you can please help us help you it would be greatly appreciated!
We just need to know who and what we are dealing with. What are their intentions? Are they hostile? Can we
stop them if necessary? What deals were cut?
If the US betrayed Canada's trust, or put itself forward at Canada's expense, we will not tolerate another
Afghanistan situation. That was ten years of work wasted.
We don't have to let the US win the cup or the pennant and we certainly don't have to keep our currency
artificially deflated to satisfy US ego.
We can also cut our own deals with these alien visitors/landed martians.
But we won't engage them unless the US denies us access privileges and full debriefing.

My advice is bring us to the table. We need more information because our data is currently not up to date.
Our failed attempts at catching UFOs showed how weak we were.
This is because we do not know what we are up against.
We need more data.
Plus, with the magnetic north pole moving towards the equator, we need help. If we can find allies that can
we would welcome it.
Or in 20+ years we will all be dead anyway.
Magnetic North now over Siberia.
In ten years it will be over the black sea. In 20 years it will be over Indonesia.
If the US cut a deal, now would be a good time to start calling in favors!

July 1 . Scot will be one of the participants and he'll be talking through the results of the survey many of
you took part in. This has gone out to a list of national reporters who have focused on the issue (and Wl

PRESS CALL ADVISORY: Student Loan Debt Devastating the
Economy, Inhibiting Personal Economic Freedom
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: John Neurohr
Phone: 412-531-2464
Email: ineurohr@proaressnow.org
Washington, D.C. - With subsidized student loan rates set to double on July 1 st , the larger student debt crisis is gaining national attention
with more and more evidence showing that the impact of student debt stretches beyond students and their families to the economy as a
whole.
On Wednesday, June 26 th at 3:30 p.m. EDT, student loan experts will host a press call to discuss the impact of student debt on
consumers and families and the broader economy.
Rates are set to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent by the end of this week if Congress can't find a solution. With only days to go, time
is running out for the more than 7 million college students and families who rely on these loans and would be hit with $1,000 hike in college
costs if rates double.
On the call, Anne Johnson, Director of Campus Progress, will detail the student loan debt crisis, including demographics, types of
debt, and solutions for dealing with the inability of federal borrowers to refinance. ProgressNow Education's Scot Ross will talk
through a recent national survey of 60.000+ Americans affected by student loan debt and the implications that these
findings have for the economy as a whole. Finally, Robert Applebaum, Co-Founder and ED of StudentDebtCrisis.org will
explain how the coming increase in interest rates is a small part of a massive and ever-growing student loan debt problem.
WHO:
Anne Johnson, Director of Campus Progress, the youth arm of the Center for American Progress
Scot Ross, ProgressNow Education's Student Debt Campaign Manager and Executive Director of One Wisconsin Now

LCV Congratulates Hillary on Big “Super Tuesday" Victories
Washington, D.C. - Hillary Clinton was announced as the winner of the majority of the states that voted
tonight in the “Super Tuesday” 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump
also won the majority of the states in his party’s primaries tonight. In response League of Conservation Voters
President Gene Karpinski issued the following statement:
“Congratulations to Hillary! Tonight she scored a series of big wins in the Democratic primary, where
voters have tuned in to her message of breaking down the barriers to progress on key issues like
climate change and environmental justice . Unfortunately, Donald Trump’s support in the
Republican primaries is of serious concern. An outright climate denier who has claimed climate change
is a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese is now the presumptive Republican nominee. To be perfectly
clear - with T rump in the White House, all the incredible progress we’ve made these past few years on
climate change and environmental protection under President Obama would be obliterated. In the tough
fight for the White House, we have already begun pointing out the stark differences between Hillary’s
smart policies and outspoken leadership and Trump’s reckless policies and crude rhetoric.”
In November, LCV Action Fund endorsed Hillary Clinton for president — its earliest endorsement of a
presidential candidate in the history of the organization and the first endorsement ever made before any votes
are cast.

Update on LCV’s GreenRoots Program for Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON, DC — The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is proud to have mobilized its members as
volunteers for Hillary Clinton through its grassroots program, GreenRoots. To date, GreenRoots has engaged
more than 250 LCV members who have completed more than 1 ,140 shifts, with nearly 370 of those shifts
completed during the days leading up to the primaries and caucuses. The GreenRoots program has recruited
members in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado, and Virginia and has emailed LCV members in nearly
every state where primaries and caucuses have occurred to date.
“In states across the country, LCV members are thrilled to volunteer their time to ensure that Hillary becomes
our next president,” said LCV Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld. “We are more
excited than ever to be supporting Hillary because her experience, skills, and passion for confronting our
many environmental challenges — ranging from the climate crisis to ensuring clean drinking water for all of
America's children — make her the exact right person for the job. We are confident she will hit the ground
running on day one in the oval office.”
In January, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released a new digital ad in support of Hillary Clinton
for president that contrasts Clinton’s leadership on climate change with climate science deniers as exemplified
by Donald Trump.
In November, LCV Action Fund endorsed Hillary Clinton for president — its earliest endorsement of a
Presidential candidate in the history of the organization and the first endorsement ever made before any votes
were cast.

Subject: John,
You likely saw Nancy Pelosi's comments praising Sen Sanders for bringing millennials into the political process
and saying they only wanted fairness and opportunity.
I think this is the perfect tone to take with these voters.
I have been dismayed in the last few weeks to see both Pres and Sec Clinton talk about these voters as wanting
impossible things, or as Mitt Romney might say, free things.
I do 't see how this language helps at all.
Sec Clinton does not need millennials to win the nomination. She may need them to win the election. They
should be embraced

Hello everyone—
John Podesta is settling in well in the West Wing, and he asked that I send out his new contacts to all who require them. Feel free to pass these
on if asked, with the caveat that we're not able to accommodate as much as we used to. I apologize if this information is redundant for you, but I
don't want to miss anyone.
For any scheduling or call requests more than a week out, I will be reviewing external requests every Saturday for consideration. We generally
cannot make firm commitments more than 24-72 hrs in advance, and even then, everything is subject to cancellation. I ask that you be kind and
not flood me all at once with call and meeting requests, as we're still getting acquainted with the scheduling rhythm here, and we are subject to
the whims of a higher power for the next year. If you have a request that can possibly wait until after the State of the Union on Jan 28 tfa . please hold
off until then.
Thank you for your understanding during this period of transition, and I look forward to working with you all this new year!

Subject: Rwanda concern
Dear Bruce, Laura, and Doug, the note below requests your guidance regarding CHDI in Rwanda. We'd welcome your feedback and
would be happy to discuss this further at your convenience. Sincerely, Ami and Walker
THE CHALLENGE: The Rwandan public and government associate Soyco and Rwandan Farmers with WJC, but we have little or no
operational input or control of those programs. This presents reputational risks - for example next year if Soyco is accused of
unjust labor practices, or an accident/fatality occurs at the factory, or if the farmers complain the factory isn't paying them fair
prices, etc, there is a risk that WJC is held responsible, albeit unfairly.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS. Options to address this challenge include:
1. Continue the status quo. Reputational risks persist. WJC and we may talk about continuing to do agricultural work in
Rwanda but the facts on the ground no longer support that claim. NOT RECOMMENDED.
2. Try to establish operational input/control with the businesses. This is probably not feasible since we have no
representation at Board or Management level in Soyco or Rwandan Coffee. Even if feasible, is this really desirable? Do we
want to be minority stakeholders in these businesses? This would require staff /local resources. NOT RECOMMENDED.
3. RECOMMENDED OPTION: Declare progress and implicitly distance WJC from the ongoing operations of the business.
During the next Africa trip, WJC could visit the sites of the businesses, declare the progress that's been achieved, and
implicitly/overtly say we have succeeded in creating new businesses and that continuing responsibility for the
businesses now shifts to the shareholders on record. Reality is that going forward, WJC would not be able to say that we
have ongoing agricultural programs on the ground, but this would resolve the reputational concerns with Rwandan
government and public.
4. Establish a support program for soy and coffee farmers who are selling produce to Soyco and Rwandan Farmers.
Downside is this would require supporting staff/local resources - which could be requested from AGRA. The Hunters are
focused on processing but there is still a need/opportunity to support farmers in being more productive. AGRA has a
much more positive feeling about their investment in Malawi than in Rwanda and they could see it as positive if CDI takes
over responsibility for managing the AGRA grant in Rwanda. We are working on a new proposal to AGRA after recent
meetings in Nairobi, so the timing would be good to suggest this and ask for more Rwanda funding. More broadly, the
upside of this option is that this would enable WJC to say rightfully that we have ongoing agriculture programs in
Rwanda. This also would provide an opportunity to engage donors who approach us with an interest in Rwanda. Please
note that this could be done as a complement to (but is not needed for) the RECOMMENDED option above.
5. Withdraw. Send a letter to Rwandan Government and/or others, making clear that WJC / CF have no continuing
agricultural programs via CHDI in Rwanda. This would attempt to dissolve the optics of an ongoing CHDI program in
Rwanda. This is probably unnecessarily jarring, especially given the feasibility of the RECOMMENDED option above.

Subject: Fracking, hedge funds, and Hillary Clinton
To:
2016
Sisters and Brothers -
Just days before the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton left the campaign trail for a high-dollar fundraiser at a
hedge fund. That same hedge fund is a major investor in fracking, an incredibly destructive practice of
extracting natural gas by pumping hundreds of secret chemicals into the ground.
Hillary Clinton supports fracking. I do not.
And just as I believe you can't take on Wall Street while taking their money, I don't believe you can take on
climate change effectively while taking money from those who would profit off the destruction of the
planet.
Please contribute $3 to our campaign right now to help elect a president who isn't beholden to
special interests that profit off of pollution.
Dick Cheney pushed through changes to the Safe Drinking Water Act that legalized fracking, despite the fact
that fracking companies keep the chemicals they pump into the ground a secret.
People who live near fracking locations no longer have drinkable water, and in some cases their tap water is
actually flammable. Oklahoma has even seen a rash of earthquakes that many believe are a result of fracking.
In short, fracking is a disaster for the planet.
We need a president who is not beholden to special interests and who will do everything in his or her power to
fight the effects of climate change. It's clear that to elect that kind of president, millions of people need to
come together and chip in whatever they can.
Make a $3 contribution to our campaign now to send a message that you want to elect a president
who will do everything possible to fight climate change.
We can’t afford to let people who would destroy our planet elect our next president.
Thank you for your support.
In solidarity,

I think we can get Polis if we want him to. he does not like that he is painted as anti-fracking in the
press and this is an opportunity for him to push off sanders and appear more reasonable. It also
benefits us — a win-win.
I am going to quietly check with Conservation Colorado (the state LCV) and see if they have an
appetite for pushing back on Sanders.
I think the Denver Post Ed Board could smack Sanders if we want them to but that makes it a bigger
fight.
Keep in mind this is a busy news day in CO and we have had no media inquires. We can either start a
fight or line up the validators for when the Sanders starts the fight. I think the latter makes more sense
but its a close call.
So should I line up validators in Polis and local LCV while holding off on the Denver Post Ed Board until
Sanders engages?

I would prefer an ally (congressman polis and/or LCV) Who have strong bone tides on the
environment to whack sander's for taking an irresponsible position and in doing so, threatening
real progress on frack fluid disclosure and air quality regulations. This is yet another promise
he can't keep.
I think we will be forced to weigh in by sanders and of course we have to state our position: it's
a transitional energy--and we need to go green. But that is a very soft response that sounds
better if Bernie is being hit by the left.
I would watch our tone and not sound too pro-fracking. A reluctant tone is a better fit for dem
caucus goers (it's a transition energy. It's not great but it allows us to get to where we want to
be)

"The only candidate to oppose fracking"
What does that mean? A complete 100% fracking ban. There is no elected dem and I
believe no enviro group that takes this position. In fact, such an extreme position
threatens the progress of common-sense safety measures like frack fluid disclosure
and methane capture/air quality regulations.
The Denver Post Editorial Board could really smack him for this. This is tricky waters
for caucus goers but his language may leave him vulnerable.
Jared Polis is a regarded as a leader of the regulating fracking team in CO and his
argument is reforms, not a ban.

"Fracking can endanger our drinking water and threaten our climate"
For the fact check: The threaten our climate is based on methane released in the air
when extracting natural gas from the ground. Colorado mandates oil and gas pay for
methane capture technology to prevent the potent green house gas from escaping and
the state issues large fines to bad actors. Natural gas burns cleaner than other
traditional energies so the "threatens our climate" is about methane released during
extraction which Colorado has already addressed.
Still really tough for us to talk about.

That's why Sanders said no to the Keystone pipeline, and never waffled.
He's also the only candidate to oppose fracking, because fracking can endanger

Thanks to low voter turnout, Democrats got crushed in the 2014 Election. For that reason, the Progressive Turnout Project is conducting a series of one-

YES » NO »
Unsure? Click here.
27 states and Washington, D.C. allow voters to Vote by Mail if they prefer (similar to absentee voting but no
excuse is needed).
In those states, every voter who requests to is sent their ballot in the mail several weeks before election to fill out
and send back.

Dear James,
Great movements are defined by how they
respond to setbacks. They either fade away or
return stronger and more fierce. This is one of
those moments for our movement to protect our
oceans.
Yesterday, the Obama Administration released a
“record of decision” that will allow seismic
blasting in an area of the East Coast twice the
size of California — the same dynamite-like blasts
that are predicted to injure and possibly kill up to
138,200 marine mammals, as well as harm
commercial and recreational fisheries, tourism
and coastal recreation-putting more than 730,000
jobs in the blast zone at risk.
There are two questions to answer: Why did they
do this? And how can we stop it?
Why? Because multinational oil companies have
billions of dollars to throw around, appearing to
buy favors and spread lies about mythical funds
that will go to coastal communities. But coastal
communities and leaders are smarter than that.
16 coastal towns and 78 local coastal elected officials already have spoken out
against seismic off their shores.
So what now? No blasting will happen without specific permits being approved.
Today’s decision only begins that process. We need to tell the Obama
Administration today that we know their record of decision is severely flawed and,
more importantly, we're going to be there every step of the way to stop
all permits that threaten treasured marine animals and coastal
livelihoods.
In the last year, you and Wavemakers like you have stood up for precious ocean life
like the right whale — of which there are less than 500 left worldwide . We’ve seen
new scientific reports confirming that these amazing creatures not only make the
U.S. East Coast their home, but travel and live in a much bigger area than
previously thought. Are we ready to start blasting the few right whales that
are left?
We're just getting started. Take action today to tell the Obama
administration that seismic blasting will be devastating for our coast
and that we won't let it happen without a fight.
For the oceans,
Claire Douglass

as noted above.
If you notify us orally, we may request that you send us your complaint or question in writing (by

providing us the oral notice.
When you notify us (orally or in writing), provide us with the following information:
• Your name and email address you used to register your account, and
• A description of the suspected unauthorized transaction or other error and an explanation as to why
you believe it is incorrect or why you need more information, and

provisionally credit your account for the amount of the suspected error. You will receive the provisional
credit within 10 business days of the date we received your notice (20 business days for new accounts).
This will allow you to have use of the money until we complete the investigation. If we ask you to put
your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive your written complaint or question within 10
business days (or 20 for new accounts), we will not provisionally credit your account.
We will inform you of our decision within three business days after completing our investigation. If we
determine that there was an error, we will promptly correct the error. If you have already received a
provisional credit, you will be allowed to retain those funds. If we decide that there was not an error, we
will include an explanation of our decision in our email to you. If you received a provisional credit, we
will remove it from your account. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our
investigation.

days.

Re: Recall our conversation that 1 surprised you with this as it was a key step to VP running (you

The list originated with Obama for America. Nice the election two entities - Organizing for Action and, more
recently, the DNC were given the list as well. So, they aren’t co-owned, each entity owns a version of the same
base list. Organizing for Action clearly can’t give the list to a campaign (its a c4). The DNC shouldn’t be able to
— since it would be an inkind. The campaign could — because it would be a transfer to an affiliated committee
— Obama for America was an authorized committee of Biden for VP, so it can transfer assets to Biden for
President. However, because the WH won’t want to own the politics of doing so, they will likely try to get the
DNC to do it anyway. This of course has implications for DNC neutrality as well — which the DNC is aware of.
Who decides? The campaign list is owned by the legal entity — Obama for America Inc. It has a treasurer and
board, just like HFA. And they decide whether to transfer the list. It is not Biden’s by right, rather its permissible
for the Obama campaign to give it if they choose to. As I mentioned, Kerry Edwards 04, Inc chose not to honor
the request of John Edwards for that list. SI, basically the WH/POTUS decides.

Sub'ect' Naming the Rules: Big Business Stifles Small Business Voices, Delays and Weakens Public
Protections
Center for
Effective
Government
November 12, 2014
Dear John,
When is a small business not really a small
business? That may sound like some sort of riddle,
but it's an important question when it comes to the
effectiveness of our health, safety, environmental,
and consumer finance protections.
In a new report just released today , we found
that trade associations and big business are
shutting genuine small business voices out of the
federal rulemaking process and weakening some
crucial standards and safeguards meant to protect
all of us.
This is happening through a process required by federal law. EPA, OSHA, and the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau have to hold special small business review panels if they believe a proposed standard
may have a significant economic impact on small businesses. But Gaming the Rules: How Big
Business Hijacks the Small Business Review Process to Weaken Public Protections
shows that this process has been captured by trade associations and their large corporate members.
The Office of Advocacy, an independent office within the Small Business Administration, has played a key
role in this problem by recommending that trade association representatives, rather than small business
owners, serve as advisors to these panels.
Small business owners have echoed our concerns. "Big businesses and the trade associations that
represent them have hijacked this process," said Frank Knapp, small business owner and president of the
South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce. "This effectively gives corporate interests early
access to federal regulators and ensures that small business voices are not heard."
The result: recommendations from the review panels have not been limited to small business concerns, and
in some cases, agencies have weakened health, safety, and consumer protection standards. This
happened with an important clean air standard from EPA and an OSHA standard that was designed to
protect workers from a cancer-causing chemical called hexavalent chromium.
It doesn't have to be this way. Our report contains recommendations that the agencies and the Office of
Advocacy can adopt to improve the process. These include identifying qualified small business owners to
advise the panels and limiting panel recommendations on public protections to specific small business
concerns.
Please take a look at our report . Then let these agencies know that they should be listening to the voices
of real small businesses.

To: Melinda Gibson < mgibson@healthcareforamericanow.org >
Dear friend:
We've been writing letters. We've been calling. But it's not enough. The insurance companies and
big corporations are fighting back - and they just won a U.S. Senate election and Supreme Court
decision to give them even more power in their attempt to block health care reform.
So we must fight back harder than ever and tell Congress that now is the time to stand up to
corporate lobbyists and finish health reform. We need them to finish it right and finish it now.
That's why we're having an emergency rally in Washington, DC, to send a message that Republican
obstructionism and corporate lobbyists won't stop us from passing real reform - or stand in the
way of environmental, worker rights, and other crucial reforms.
Can you join us on Tuesday, January 26th at 12 pm? Click here for details and to RSVP.
The Chamber of Commerce has spent millions of dollars - laundered millions from big insurance - to
defeat reform. The the Supreme Court ruling this week only makes matters worse, opening the
floodgates to unrestricted corporate money into our political arena.
On Tuesday we will rally outside the Chamber to remind Congress that no matter how much money
is on the side of big insurance and big corporations, we have the people. We will fight back with the
voices of those denied coverage and those burdened and bankrupted by skyrocketing premiums.
Can you join us? Click here to RSVP.
Here are the details:
Where: Farragut Square (southeast corner of the park, I Street & Connecticut NW -
map )
When: Tuesday, January 26th at 12 pm
You'll be joined by leaders in the progressive movement and people who've been hurt by
insurance companies.
Come and stand with us to tell Congress that we need health care reform and we need it
now!
Click here to RSVP.
See you there!

By Jon Greenberg on Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015 at 3:19 p.m.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/dec/22/bernie-s/Sanders-take-Clinton-voter-data/
It might feel like pure inside baseball, but the data breach that gave the Bernie Sanders
campaign staff access to some of the Hillary Clinton campaign’s voter information goes to
the heart of modern elections.
At stake are the details that tell a campaign who is persuadable to the cause, and who’s likely
to actually come out and vote.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., apologized to the Democratic primary leader Hillary Clinton at a
weekend debate in New Hampshire. Clinton accepted his apology and said it was time to
move on.
But in an interview the next day on NBC’s Meet the Press , host Chuck Todd pressed
Sanders on exactly what happened when a software glitch allowed his people to see some of
the Clinton data. The system is run by the Democratic National Committee, and the DNC
had temporarily blocked the Sanders campaign from using its valuable voter information.
"As a result of a breach caused by the DNC vendor, not by us, information came into our
campaign about the Clinton campaign," Sanders said Dec. 20, 2015.
"Magically," asked Todd?
"We didn't go out and take it," Sanders replied.

Really? In this fact-check, we’ll explore whether the Sanders campaign staff didn’t "go out
and take information from the Clinton campaign.
A quick recap
On Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2015, NGP VAN, the vendor that operates the system, released a
software modification that had a bug. According to a lawsuit filed by the Sanders
campaign, "several staff members of the campaign accessed and viewed confidential
Information" that belonged to the Clinton campaign.
The breach was reported within the Sanders campaign the same day. The staffer who had
dug into the Clinton files, Josh Uretsky, told CNN that he had poked around in the system
to document the extent of the software bug.
By Wednesday, the DNC knew of the problem and contacted the Sanders campaign. Senior
staff fired Uretsky at some point on Thursday. The DNC blocked the campaign from using
the voter system pending an investigation. The Sanders campaign sued on Friday, and by
Friday evening, access was restored.
On Saturday, the Sanders campaign suspended two other staff members.
Steps and missteps
No one questions that a software error created the opportunity for the Sanders staffers to see
what they shouldn’t. The press release from NGP VAN plainly says that .
So then the question is, what did the Sanders campaign staff do?
Thanks to a leak of the activity logs on the NGP VAN system, we have some idea. The Twitter
user Iowa Starting Line posted them and you can see those logs here . No one has
questioned their authenticity. Here’s one example:

These logs show Sanders people spent a bit under two hours in the data. During that time,
they called up information from about a dozen states. They queried the database for the
number of voters who met certain criteria. The "Turnout" variable shows on a scale of l to
too how likely a person is to vote. A voter with a high "Priority" score would be someone the
campaign will make every effort to contact.
The NGP VAN statement said the Sanders campaign could not see actual lists of voters. All
that would be visible would be tallies of people. The sole exception was "a one page-style
report containing summary data on a list was saved out of VoteBuilder by one Sanders user."
That would correspond to the final item on the log above where at 11:41 a.m. there is a
notation for "Hits counts and cross tabs 4 times."
It is unclear if that page was printed out or copied. But it was created because a Sanders
staff member took specific actions.
Two people who know the NGP VAN system told PolitiFact that even the most minimal data
gleaned from the Clinton campaign would have been valuable.
David Atkins, a campaign consultant and county official in the California Democratic Party,
told us that the information would give the Sanders campaign some idea of how the Clinton
campaign was targeting voters. And it would offer "a sort of polling snapshot to see how well
or poorly she was doing in certain states."
Daniel Kreiss teaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is the author
of Taking our Country Back , which looks at Democratic online campaigning.
"At the very least, topline numbers would provide a ballpark overview of the numbers the
opposing campaign was working with in these states," Kreiss said.
Not only could that open a window into the state of the race, it could help the Sanders
campaign’s measure the accuracy of its own information.
Atkins cautioned that to this day, only a handful of people actually know what took place.
But the activity logs don’t help the Sanders campaign’s position.
"What appears damning is that hours passed where they didn't contact the vendor
immediately, which is what I — and most campaign operatives — would have done," Atkins
said.
We reached out to the Sanders campaign for comment and did not hear back.
Our ruling
Sanders said that his campaign did not go out and take information from the Clinton
campaign. From all accounts, it is true that the Sanders campaign did not attempt to break
into the voter data of a rival campaign. The Sanders people stumbled upon a glitch.
But rather than reporting the glitch immediately, they probed the database for a bit under
two hours. At some point, the staff produced a page of information that at the very least
10/18/2016

Page 1016
would show the count of certain voters.
Experts familiar with the Democratic voter data base say that the Sanders campaign would
have gleaned valuable information. At the end of the day, they knew some things about the
Clinton campaign that they hadn’t known before, even if they didn’t seek to crack into the
Clinton data.
We rate Sanders’ claim that the campaign didn’t "go out and take" information asMostly
False.

John,
See yellow highlight below. This is really good. I hope my comments helped shape this message.
The one thing I heard in her super Tuesday speech that I thought that I would avoid is that she said: "whether we like it or not,
we are in this all together..." I would advise eliminating the "like it or not" part and just say that "in order to make America
whole we must be in this altogether."
One other small nit is that she says "we need to make America whole again". I am not sure when America ever was whole. So
thought might be given to saying something like: "it is time to make America whole; where no one is left out; where all have
equal opportunity, where all lives matter, etc"
My two cents.

Hillary Clinton lost no time transitioning into a general-election message, positioning herself as the opposite of
Donald Trump in an optimistic speech threaded with themes of "love and kindness.”
“Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great,”
Clinton told supporters after her big primary victory in South Carolina on Saturday night.
“But we do need to make America whole again," she said to loud applause. "Instead of building walls, we need
to be tearing down barriers.”
“We have so much to look forward to," Clinton said. "There is no doubt in my mind that America’s best years
are ahead of us. We have to believe that, we have to work for that.”
She’s come a long way from her campaign message of "Pick me because I have experience."
Clinton mentioned the five mothers by name that she recognized at CNN’s Democratic town hall on Tuesday --
five African-American women who have lost their children to gun violence or at the hands of police.
“They have not been broken or embittered. Instead, they have channeled their sorrow into strategy, and their
mourning into a movement. And they are reminding us of something deep and powerful in the American spirit,”
Clinton said.
“When we stand together, there is no barrier too big to break," she said. "Tomorrow, this campaign goes
national.”

Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein: Sanders candidacy a 'dangerous moment'
By ELIZA COLLINS
02/03/16 03:02 PMEST
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter
The head of Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday that Bernie Sanders' insurgent candidacy "has the potential to be a
dangerous moment."
Lloyd Blankfein, who is chairman and CEO of the bank, was speaking to CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Story Continued Below
In January, Sanders was asked by Bloomberg Politics to list an example of corporate greed, and he listed Blankfein.
“I don’t take it personally since we never met," Blankfein responded.
But he added that Sanders' attacks on the "billionaire class" and bankers could be dangerous.
“it has the potential to personalize it, it has the potential to be a dangerous moment. Not just for Wall Street not just for the
people who are particularly targeted but for anybody who is a little bit out of line,” Blankfein said. “It’s a liability to say I’m
going to compromise I’m going to get one millimeter off the extreme position I have and if you do you have to back track
and swear to people that you’ll never compromise. It’s just incredible. It’s a moment in history.”
Blankfein avoided saying whether he supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, though both Clintons have long ties
to Blankfein and to Goldman Sachs, which has been a heavy donor to Bill Clinton's charity work.
Sanders: We're 'working very hard' to attract senior voters
By NICK GASS
In 2012, Blankfein said he was a registered Democrat but a Rockefeller Republican. In 2015, he donated to the campaigns of
Republican senators Rob Portman and Roy Blunt, but in 2008 he endorsed and raised money for Clinton's failed presidential
bid. His wife Laura has donated the $2,700 maximum to Clinton's 2016 campaign.

But on Squawk Box, Blankfein would say only, “I don’t want to help or hurt anybody by giving them an endorsement."
During the Democratic debate in January, Sanders criticized Clinton's Goldman Sachs ties, referring four times to tax returns
released by her campaign showing she received a total of $675,000 for three speeches to the bank in 2013.
"Goldman Sachs is not going to bring forth a secretary of the Treasury for a Sanders administration," he said.
According to an account in 2014 by former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Bill Clinton apparently said of the populist
anger sweeping the country, “You could take Lloyd Blankfein into a dark alley and slit his throat, and it would satisfy them
for about two days. Then the blood lust would rise again

Subject: BREAKING: New numbers on environmental candidates
LCV VICTORY FUND
Dear John,
Undecided voters are deciding - and our polling puts seven important
environmental Senate races and several key House races within the
margin of error.
Early voting in Colorado started yesterday. It began two days ago in Nevada, and
nearly two weeks ago in Wisconsin. When our canvassers knock on a door in
critical battleground states, the person who opens it can vote the very same day.
LCV Victory Fund urgently needs to raise $70,000 for canvassing and get-out-the-
vote efforts in the last two weeks of the campaign. But with voters already
mailing in ballots, every day we wait is a missed opportunity.
Don’t miss a moment - make a gift to LCV Victory Fund today »
I promise you, if you give today, your gift will have an impact on these elections. Every dollar we put to work could
make the difference in a neck-and-neck race.
LCV Victory Fund is focusing on these tight races where we have the best chance of making a real impact. With two
weeks left, here are the seven states where we’re concentrating our Senate efforts - and your dollars:
• Pennsylvania: Rep. Joe Sestak is running in a very tight race against ex-Rep. Pat Toomey, the former President
of the radical right-wing group Club for Growth. The most recent public poll shows Rep. Sestak pulling ahead
for the first time. Rep. Sestak is an environmental leader who voted for the House-passed American Clean
Energy and Security Act that would have helped create more than 71 ,000 new clean energy jobs in
Pennsylvania, reduced carbon pollution and increased energy independence.
Our planet’s future is at
stake on November 2.
Seven Senate races are within
the margin of error.
Donate to LCV Victory Fund
by October 29, the Friday
before Election Day.
• Nevada: We’re running a canvass operation that’s going to reach 45,000 votersTWICE - to drive support for
Senator Harry Reid, one of our longest-running champions of clean energy in the Senate. Reid’s race is
statistically tied right now - and if he loses, his seat goes to Sharron Angle, who’s dismissed climate change as
a “mantra of the left.”
• Washington: We’re helping lead a coalition of progressive organizations to re-elect Senator Patty Murray, an
environmental champion who polls show is running just a few points ahead of two time candidate for Governor
Dino Rossi, who believes there’s still “a lot of debate” on the science of global warming.
We’re also working around the clock in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Missouri, where pro-environment
candidates are running one or two point races against their Dirty Dozen opponents. And we’re pulling out all the stops
in Colorado to elect Michael Bennet, who’s beginning to surge against Ken Buck, who’s both a Dirty Dozen member
and a global warming denier.
And of course we are continuing to work overtime to re-elect members of the House of Representatives who voted for
the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which would create clean energy jobs, increase our national security,
and protect the planet from global warming pollution. We are working especially hard for clean energy champions like
Rep. Tom Perriello in Virginia, Rep. John Boccieri of Ohio, Rep. Mark Schauer in Michigan and Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada.
Making a contribution to LCV Victory Fund is the most effective, efficient action you can take between now and
November 2 to ensure that the House and Senate don’t fall into the hands of Big Oil’s crew of climate deniers.
Give now and watch your dollars go straight to work defeating the Dirty Dozen, so we can continue
working to pass laws that protect the environment.
LCV Victory Fund knows how to set the facts straight and get voters to the polls, even in the toughest
election years. But to see our strategy through, we urgently need more resources.
Thank you for your generosity. Our nation - and the planet - is counting on it.
Sincerely,
10/18/2016

National
- Coverage of Quinnipiac poll showing HRC polling low on trust and honesty in Colorado, Virginia, and Iowa.
Says she is losing to all three Republican front runners in the new poll in these three states. Jessica Tarlov joins
the show and says that people are a little sick of HRC not answering questions and the press being roped off,
they’re sick of the emails although Tarlov says she doesn’t think that’s the biggest deal in the world. Says
Benghazi has been talked about a little more especially over Chattanooga. Says this doesn’t mean that she’s
free falling, and the general election was always going to be close. Tarlov says her advice to HRC would be to be
more open with people. Says it’s the slow drip of information that is problematic. Tammy Bruce says it’s not about
the issues with HRC, it’s about her manner and nature. Says people want something different and speaks to the
fact that HRC is not going to get better because she’s not going to get new anytime soon. Anthony Scaramucci
says HRC is going to wait since this is so early and her dodging strategy is something that she did very
successfully in her 2000 senate race. Says HRC has a declining slope of likeability whereas Scott Walker has an
inclining slope of likeability. Host says HRC’s unfavorability ratings are even higher than in 2007. Making

- Coverage of Quinnipiac poll showing HRC polling low on character issues. Ed Henry reports that HRC’s bid
has run into a summer stall. Says HRC is losing to all three Republican front runners in the new poll in three
states. Says favorability rating has declined. Shows clip of Ed Rollins saying this is a hard number to change
because HRC has been in the public eye for so long. Shows clip of Joe Trippi saying none of the Republicans
have a lock on the nomination. Ed Henry shows HRC video on gender card. Says Carly Fiorina says Republicans
need to spend more time working to defeat HRC rather than focusing on one another. Henry says the polls
present an opening for Biden or another Democrat to join the race. Special Report with Bret Baier . 2015 07
22 Hillarv Clinton Commentary. National. Ed Henrv Comments on Quinnipiac Poll Implications
- Coverage of Quinnipiac poll showing HRC losing to Bush, Walker, and Rubio in Colorado, Iowa, and Virginia.
Says honesty, trustworthiness, and favorability are all low in these polls as well. Notes that the one thing HRC
does have is leadership qualities according to the poll. Kirsten Powers says these numbers are on par with the
national polls which say HRC is a good leader. Some people have pointed to WJC saying that he won even when
people didn’t trust him. Says we don’t know if the Republican numbers are because of the trustworthiness issue
or if it’s the fact that she didn’t have any real opponents before, and now she has real alternatives. Charles
Krauthammer says the more you see HRC the more her numbers go down, and that’s the sign of a weak
candidate. Says the surprising thing is the Bernie Sanders does better against the Republicans. Yochi Dreazen
says Bernie Sanders won’t beat her, but he’ll be able to hit her on not being where the passion of the party is.
Powers says things like the email scandal is not going to be something that voters base their decision on and
people seem to think that she’s a good leader. Krauthammer says the emails alone won’t sink HRC, but it
reinforces the idea that people can’t trust her. Special Report with Bret Baier . 2015 07 22 Hillary Clinton
Commentary. National. Krauthammer and Powers on Quinnipiac Poll
~ Coverage of Quinnipiac poll showing HRC trailing Bush, Rubio and Walker in Colorado, Iowa, and Virginia.
Says honesty, trustworthiness, and favorability are all low in these polls as well. Says this is not the first poll that
has shown HRC with trust issues. Paul Begala joins the show and says HRC needs to go out and campaign on
economic issues. Says her message is that she wants to boost wages for middle class Americans, and if people
agree with that, they are going to vote for her. Says if you believe Americans deserve a raise, you will vote for
HRC. Says the undecided in the poll was way too high. Says the key right now is for candidates to get their
messages out. Erin Burnett OutFront . 2015 07 22 Hillary Clinton Commentary, National, Begala on

Katherine Mangu-Ward comments and says at this point the polls essentially function as entertainment. Says
polls do allow for something like an actual comparison and allows people to analyze the race a little bit. Tom
Shiliue says HRC is unlikeable to both Democrats and Republicans. Shiliue says HRC was never inevitable
because people don’t like her and she talks herself out of people’s good graces. Sam Morril says HRC and WJC
are panicking and she has charisma issues. Kennedy . 2015 07 22 Hillary Clinton Commentary, National,

could be conflicts of interest if either candidate were to become president. Frates says, like the Clintons, Donald
Trump makes big money on speaking engagements which could be a liability as well. CNN Tonight with Don
Lemon . 2015 07 22 Hillary Clinton Commentary, National, Chris Frates on Trump Financial Information
- Report on HRC’s comments on Sandra Bland case. Host quotes HRC saying, I hope and expect that there will
be a full investigation into this situation. It is also a tragic reminder of the ongoing systemic issues of race and
justice in America that we must address with urgency, and we have to do more than talk - we have to take
action. Dana Perino joins the show and says there is this weird thing of HRC and other presidential candidates
wanting to comment on every news event. Says it would have been better if HRC exercised restraint and
judgement. Says HRC indicted police forces throughout America. Says HRC’s statement is political since police
department is already taking action to deal with the officer. Says the politicizing does not help the family of
Sandra Bland at all. Says the issue of mental issue is one that HRC, if she wants to lead the country, could take
up instead. The Kelly File . 2015 07 22 Hillary Clinton Commentary. National. Dana Perino on HRC Sandra

controversial statements from Donald Trump yet she has not stood up to Planned Parenthood. Says it’s

RE: Revised gun riff

Would change this to gun lobby.

Subject: Revised gun riff
I took Ron's riff and condensed to 375 words. What do you think?
• I was very proud of the President this week making a powerful statement about the urgent need to end the epidemic of
gun violence in America. His new executive actions include steps that I’ve advocated for throughout this campaign.
We are losing 90 people a day to gun violence, so the President is right: this is a national crisis. And, as he said, voters
should not support any candidate who does not support common-sense gun reform.
• Democrats have a real choice here, because standing up to the gun lobby is a big difference between Senator Sanders
and myself. The Brady Bill has kept 2 million guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them — Senator
Sanders voted against it five times. But that may not be his worst vote on gun safety.
• Ten years ago, gun safety advocates wanted to take gun makers and sellers to court for their reckless disregard for
human life. If an auto company sells an unsafe car, you can sue them. Unsafe food, unsafe tools, unsafe toys - the
makers can all be sued. So the NRA wrote a bill that said, “No one can sue a gun maker or a gun seller.”
• The bill came before Congress. The pressure was intense. The head of the NRA called the vote “the most
significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years.” And when it really mattered, Senator Sanders voted
with the NRA and I voted against the NRA.
• I would certainly understand if Senator Sanders would just stand up and say, “I got this one wrong. I made a
mistake. I’m sorry.” But he hasn’t. He’s defended his vote time and again. He’s said he would “consider” some
changes to the law - but that was almost 90 days ago - and where are the changes?
• And so, go back to what President Obama said — this immunity issue is one of his most important concerns. The
President of the United States will not support any candidate who is wrong on gun safety. Unless Senator Sanders
changes his position on immunity for gun sellers and gun makers, he’s wrong on gun safety, wrong on the leading
cause of death for young people in our country, and the wrong candidate for President.

Wall Street Journal blog: Washington Wire: “Clinton Says She Asked to Be Removed From Rape Case”
By Janet Hook
July 8, 2014, 2:42 p.m. EDT
A decades old legal case is continuing to haunt Hillary Clinton, who said in a new interview on the subject that she had asked to be removed from
a 1 975 case defending a man accused of child rape.
In a July 4 interview with Mumsnet, a British online network, Mrs. Clinton said the case came up while she was teaching at the University of
Arkansas and doing legal aid work, and a local judge appointed her to represent a man accused of raping a 1 2-year-old girl.
“I asked to be relieved of that responsibility, but I was not,” said Mrs. Clinton, who was 27 at the time. “And I had a professional duty to represent
my client to the best of my ability, which I did.”
Some Republicans have seized on the case, and Mrs. Clinton’s defense tactics, to discredit Mrs. Clinton’s claim to be a lifelong defender of
women’s rights. The old case came back into focus last month after the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, disclosed audio clips of
Mrs. Clinton saying in an interview that she took the case after a prosecutor asked her to as “a favor.” She indicated that she believed the man
was guilty because she laughed when she told the interviewer, laughing, that it “forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs” when her client passed
a polygraph test.
Citing that clip, Joe Scarborough, the Republican host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” during Tuesday’s broadcast said Mrs. Clinton’s latest statement
that she was forced to represent the defendant contradicted her earlier characterization that she was doing it as a favor to a legal colleague.
“Hillary Clinton chose to do this,” Mr. Scarborough said. “This completely changes the conversation.”
The pro-Clinton group American Bridge 21st Century sent out a “Correct the Record” item saying that the controversy amounted to an effort by
conservative critics to “rehash old news.”
“The right wing is speculating that Clinton chose to take the case, even though that myth has been widely debunked,” the group said in a memo,
who cited interviews with the prosecutor who corroborated Mrs. Clinton’s account of the case in her 2003 book, “Living History.”

It should not be necessary to write this column.
Lawyers represent clients. Criminal defense lawyers represent clients accused of crimes — sometimes horrible, evil clients accused of heinous
crimes. It is the ethical and professional responsibility of these lawyers to defend those clients as vigorously as possible.
Sometimes such representation results in less than perfectly just results. As Justice Benjamin Cardozo famously put it, the criminal goes free
because the constable has blundered. That is the way — the only way — an adversary system of criminal justice can function.
End of story, or it would be, except that the decades-old criminal case at issue here involves Hillary Clinton.
To back up, Clinton — then Hillary Rodham — was a 27-year-old law professor in 1 975 running a newly formed legal aid clinic at the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville.
As reported by Glenn Thrush in Newsday in 2008, “hard-drinking factory worker” Thomas Alfred Taylor had been accused of raping a 12-year-old
girl, the daughter of a family he was living with. Taylor had asked the judge to fire his court-appointed male lawyer and have a female attorney
represent him instead. There were only a half-dozen women practicing law in the county at the time, and the judge picked Clinton.
When the prosecutor, Mahlon Gibson, called to tell her the news, “Hillary told me she didn’t want to take that case, she made that very clear,”
Gibson told Newsday. Clinton herself described the incident in her autobiography, “Living History”: “I really didn’t feel comfortable taking on such a
client, but Mahlon gently reminded me that I couldn’t very well refuse the judge’s request.”
So Clinton went to work. She mounted an attack on the physical evidence against Taylor, enlisting a noted forensics expert to cast doubt on the
validity of the physical evidence against her client.
And, as is distasteful but common in rape cases, Clinton prepared to attack the victim’s credibility. Requesting that the victim undergo a psychiatric
examination, Clinton wrote in an affidavit, “I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men
and to engage in fantasizing. I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked
her body.”
Was there a basis for this claim? The victim says not; the state’s investigator doesn’t recall such evidence; the records were lost in a flood. In any
event, the forensic attack carried the day; the prosecutor reduced the charges from first-degree rape to unlawful fondling of a minor. Taylor
received four years’ probation and a year in jail.
This story was revived recently after the Washington Free Beacon unearthed audiotapes of interviews conducted by reporter Roy Reed and
deposited at the University of Arkansas. “I had him take a polygraph, which he passed — which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” Clinton
recalled and chuckled.
“What was sad about it was that the prosecutor had evidence, among which was his underwear . . . which was bloody,” she recalled. The crime
lab “neatly cut out the part that they were going to test," came back with results and promptly sent back the underpants with a hole — having
thrown away the crucial piece. So Clinton presented the prosecutor with her expert’s credentials and announced, “This guy’s ready to come from
New York to prevent this miscarriage of justice.” Again, chuckling.
To the Free Beacon, this story “calls into question Clinton’s narrative of her early years as a devoted women and children’s advocate in Arkansas.”
In its view, Clinton “struck a casual and complacent attitude toward her client and the trial for rape of a minor.”
Let’s stipulate: Clinton’s laughter can sometimes be off-putting; she tends to use it as a way to deflect unwelcome questions. Not in this case.
Certainly, Clinton could express more empathy for the girl. But her laughter, as I hear it, is at the vagaries of the system and bureaucratic ineptitude,
not the victim.

In short: Feel free to dislike Clinton. Feel free to believe she’d be a terrible president. Don’t blame her for doing her job. The real scandal in this case
would have been if she had let her feminist ideology trump her ethical responsibility — to zealously represent even the most loathsome client.
Huffinqton Post blog: Peter D. Rosenstein: “The Media Obsession With Hillary and Bill Clinton Continues”
By Peter D. Rosenstein, political consultant
July 7, 2014, 12:59 p.m. EDT
Two, three or more major stories about Hillary and Bill Clinton are in the papers and on TV daily. The Hillary stories range from glowing to
glowering. The NY Times has had a reporter assigned to the Hillary beat for more than a year. In a recent Washington Post column Fareed Zakaria
writes about Hillary's hardest choice, "Clinton's great challenge will be to decide whether she represents change or continuity." In a NY Times
story she is compared to John McCain and the reporter does a "Chicken little the sky is falling" piece on her poll numbers. The Washington Post
running out of new things to say about Hillary has taken to writing stories about Bill's quest to be First Gentleman. The Nation says the media are
suffering from Hillary Fatigue, yet they are still writing about her and dreaming up new things to say.
The interesting thing isn't the stories but the fact that media outlets are so obsessed with the Clintons clearly believing the public is too. Reporters
writing pure speculation and general nonsense get it on the front page. Maybe the public is obsessed with them but it must be hoped if FI illary runs
the stories will migrate to a discussion of issues and less of the "Flow much Hillary is paid for a speech" or whether "Bill is involved in strategy."
The poll number stories aren't new. From the day she became first lady of Arkansas to being appointed secretary of state, her poll numbers have
swung wildly. When she is out of day-to- day politics her numbers are up and when the opposition is skewering her the numbers go down. So
what? Zakaria is totally wrong about what her hardest choice will be. Hillary doesn't have to make a conscious decision about representing
change or continuity. Rather she can talk about her vision for a better America and what she sees is going right with what she believes she can
change for the future.
In her book Flard Choices, Clinton laid out foreign policy areas in which she is in lock-step with the president and some such as her
recommendation to arm the Syrian opposition Obama chose not to follow. There is every reason to believe that Clinton will be nuanced in a
campaign. It isn't simply a case of "with-em-or-agin-em," which is what reporters would like to see. Voters are smarter than that.
Hillary and Bill Clinton have been in the public eye since Hillary Rodham was the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College in 1 969
and when Bill ran for Congress in Arkansas in 1 974. There isn't much new the press can find that we already don't know. Their marriage, with its
ups and downs, has lasted longer than all those of their critics.
Hillary has always fought for universal health care and will benefit because many of the issues surrounding the Affordable Care Act will have
been settled by the time she may announce. Then the recent Supreme Court decision on the Flobby Lobby case to which FI illary voiced strong
disagreement allows her to point out the continuing war on women by five old Catholic men and the Republican Party candidates who support
them.
Hillary will point out that a Democratic president, Barack Obama, saved the nation pulling it out of a deep recession. But she has shown an
understanding that there is a long way to go before everyone is participating in the recovery. Bill will remind people of the state of the nation when
he was president. We weren't at war and there were budget surpluses. But FI illary can share her vision for change and she has acknowledged
and shown an understanding that we are living in a different world than existed 20 years ago.
Stories like the one in the Washington Post about Bill having made over $1 00 million since leaving office has people like me thinking "that ain't bad for
a good ole southern boy from Hope, Arkansas." For years no one has paid that much attention to the huge sums of money made by all the ex-
presidents and other politicians or celebrities who make millions from their speeches. But Hillary suddenly out-performs and gets paid more than all
of them and it's now a major story. Wow, a woman with views worth more and commanding more money than men.
Voters often elect wealthy people. John F. Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt with inherited wealth; and Ronald Reagan and both Bushes, who were

millionaires when elected. Mitt Romney didn't lose because he was rich but rather because people felt he couldn't connect with those who weren't.
Hillary Clinton doesn't have that problem. People know where she stands on issues and they know where she comes from and that neither she
nor Bill was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. People have always respected her incredible work ethic from her earliest days at the
Children's Defense Fund and her work for universal health care; equal pay for equal work for women; a great education for all children; and a
world that will be more at peace tomorrow than it is today.
After 45 years in the public eye Hillary can still be the candidate of the future, which would finally include more women in power. She will break
that final glass ceiling if she runs. Hillary is a grandmother building a better world for her grandchild, something no longer the sole province of
grandfathers.
What Republicans fear is that voters will recognize how a brilliant and feeling woman in the White House will make a difference for them, their
children, and their families. Hillary understands how that resonates here and around the world.
Winning the White House for a Democrat will be made easier when more women vote. Hillary can make that happen and her skirt-tail effect would
impact elections up and down the spectrum. Some question whether she can create the excitement that will cause that to happen. The media's
obsession with her and Bill show she can. When the campaign actually begins, we can only hope the media will focus on the issues that matter to
people because that is what is important to the future of America.
Media Matters for America: “How Morning Joe Is Helping To Turn Clinton's Legal Work Into A Political Liability”
By Jeremy Holden
July 8, 2014, 7:28 p.m. EDT
[Subtitle:] Vox's Ezra Klein Joins Scarborough In Mainstreaming "Disturbing" Guilt-By-Association Smear
Joe Scarborough and Ezra Klein are helping to normalize guilt-by-association smears targeting defense attorneys based on their clients, arguing
that Hillary Clinton's work defending an alleged child rapist in 1975 is becoming a political liability.
The American Bar Association has condemned this type of attack as "disturbing."
Clinton's work on the case, known publicly and reported on for years, re-emerged after the Washington Free Beacon violated library policy and
published an interview Clinton gave in the mid-1 980s discussing her legal representation of the alleged rapist.
Clinton defended her work on the case in an interview with Mumsnet that was published July 4, explaining once again that she was assigned to
the case, that she asked to be relieved from the assignment, and that she "had a professional duty to represent my client to the best of my ability."
Reporting on the warmed-over scrutiny of the case on Tuesday, Vox claimed that "a criminal defense case from Hillary Clinton's past as a lawyer
is becoming a political liability." The headline ominously stated: "Hillary Clinton's legal career is coming back to haunt her."
Klein, the co-founder of Vox, appeared on Morning Joe to expand on the idea that Clinton's legal work was a political liability. "I think it's hard for
folks to understand why you would go to the mat for a client who had done something terrible who you knew is guilty," Klein said. "And what
she's saying there is that that was her obligation as a lawyer and that the prosecution had done a horrible job."

While Scarborough at one point agreed that attorneys "usually take that court appointment and do their best to defend their client," he subsequently
tried to parse the distinction between a public defender and Clinton's role as a court-appointed attorney from a legal aid clinic:
SCARBOROUGH: [l]sn't there a distinction, though, between when you are hired by a public defender's office, and the purpose of the public
defender's office is actually to give people the representation that they are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America? And
then you have Hillary Clinton's case, where she was running a legal clinic. She may have been court-appointed, but obviously she had a lot more
discretion on whether she was going to take a child rapist or not on as a client than if you are a public defender, where you are working as a
public defender, you have no choice.
Legal and child welfare experts told Newsday that Clinton's work in the case was appropriate in 2008, the last time her work in the case came
under media scrutiny. Clinton wrote about the case in her 2003 autobiography, Living History. Jonathan Adler, a libertarian law professor, has
urged Clinton's critics not to attack her representation in this case, specifically warning that it could be chilling to send a message to young
attorneys that representing unpopular clients could become a "political liability."
Adler is not alone. Republicans Ken Starr, Lindsey Graham, and Michael Mukasey have ail cautioned against using an attorney's clients as a
cudgel.
Scarborough's and Klein's analysis of why this case is a liability for Clinton focused in part on their interpretation of Clinton's tone in the 30-year-old
interview, which Scarborough claimed amounted to "boasting" about her successful defense of the alleged rapist. "She sounded boastful on the
tape that she was able to get this 41 -year-old guy who raped a young girl, a minor girl, and get him off and was laughing about the evidence,
laughing about the lie detector test, laughing about a lot of it. It does sound - it's disturbing to say the least, isn't it?"
Scarborough did not reconcile his claim that Clinton was being "boastful" with the fact that she called the case "sad" while explaining how the
prosecution had destroyed evidence, forming the basis of an eventual plea bargain.
CLINTON: But you know what was sad about it was that the prosecutors had evidence, among which was his underwear. ... His underwear,
which was bloody. Sent it down to the crime lab [unintelligible]. The crime lab took the pair of underpants, neatly cut out the part that they were
going to test, tested it, came back with the result of what kind of blood it was, what was mixed in with it, then sent the pants back with a hole in it
as evidence. So I got an order to see the evidence, and the prosecutor didn't want me to see the evidence. I had to go to Maupin Cummings and
convince Maupin that yes indeed I had a right to see the evidence before it was presented. So they presented the underpants with a hole in it. I
said, "What kind of evidence is that?" You know, a pair of underpants with a hole in it. Course the crime lab had thrown away the piece that they'd
cut out. It was really odd. I mean, I plea-bargained it down because it turned out they didn't have any evidence.
Morning Joe did air parts of the interview where Clinton discussed what she thought was sad about the case.
CNN legal analyst Paul Callan has rejected claims that Clinton can be heard laughing about the result of the case and instead argued that Clinton is
clearly laughing generally about the legal process. "It's a lawyer telling a lawyer tale," Callahan said.
The criticism of Clinton is part of an alarming trend of using a lawyer's clients as a disqualification for public service. In March, the Senate blocked
Debo Adegbile's nomination to the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division amid scrutiny of his work at the NAACP on behalf of an accused cop
killer. And the American Bar Association condemned the Republican Governors' Association earlier this year for running ads attacking a South
Carolina gubernatorial candidate for his work as a criminal defense attorney.
In a letter to RGA Chairman Chris Christie, ABA President James Silkenat warned: "The Republican Governor's Association ad sends a disturbing
message to lawyers - that their clients' past actions or beliefs will stain their own careers, especially if they want to serve their country in public
office."

July 8, 2014, 8:07 p.m. EDT
MSNBC’s Hardball was home of a contentious debate Tuesday night between left-wing Salon’s Joan Walsh and MSNBC analyst Michelle Bernard
over the “Hillary Tapes” uncovered by Washington Free Beacon reporter Alana Goodman.
Goodman unearthed tapes from the 1 980s of Hillary Clinton discussing an accused child rapist she defended when she was 27 years old, part of
which included her laughing about facets of the case that ultimately resulted in her client, who she thought was guilty, serving less than one year
in prison.
Host Chris Matthews laid out the facts behind the case to introduce the segment, adding he’s not particularly fond of “clever” defense lawyers.
“I have listened to the whole tape,” Matthews said. “She does laugh throughout it. I don’t know how to talk about it.”
“It’s not a fun tape to listen to,” Walsh said. “I’m not going to try and sugarcoat it.”
However, when Bernard laid out the New York Times’ reporting that Clinton had been appointed to the case, rather than that Clinton actually took it
because the prosecutor called and asked her to take it on, Walsh grew indignant and accused Bernard of “filibustering.”
“This is very serious,” Bernard said. “Hillary Clinton took the case. This is a woman who undoubtedly has always been an advocate for women,
children and families but she took the case. She knew what the allegations were. She indicated in the tape that she believed that her client, more
likely than not, was guilty of the crime that he was accused of. People are going to say, inevitably, ‘Who is the real Hillary Clinton?”’
An upset Walsh accused Bernard of presenting a “twisted” view of the facts, but even Matthews was puzzled at that accusation, asking, “What
was twisted?”
“The facts are the facts,” Bernard replied.
At one point, Matthews just looked down and sighed while the two argued over Clinton.
Boston Globe: Letter to the Editor: President of Simmons College Helen Drinan: “Simmons tuition didn’t pay Clinton fee”
By Helen Drinan, president of Simmons College
July 9, 2014
In his column last Friday, Kevin Cullen called out Simmons College for paying Hillary Clinton an undisclosed speaking fee. He suggests that a parent
paying tuition to send a student to Simmons College would want to know the amount of that fee. Cullen, however, is misinformed.
The Simmons Leadership Conference, not Simmons College, sponsored Clinton’s appearance. All proceeds from the conference go to fund
graduate scholarships at the college. This year’s proceeds, which represent the surplus after all costs are covered, were the highest in
conference history. Clinton’s appearance was instrumental to that end.

Wall Street Journal blog: Washington Wire: “Hillary Clinton: Some Families ‘Just Have a Commitment’ to Politics”
By Peter Nicholas
July 8, 2014, 7:03 p.m. EDT
Is the U.S. presidency a dynasty controlled by a few privileged families?
Should Hillary Clinton win the White House in 2016 and serve two full terms, that would mean either a Bush or Clinton will have held the presidency
for 28 of the prior 36 years (interrupted by Barack Obama’s eight-year stint).
Even the Bush family matriarch, Barbara Bush, questioned last year whether the country is well served by more of the same.
“We’ve had enough Bushes,” she said, in reply to a question about the presidential prospects of her son Jeb, the former Republican governor of
Florida.
Mrs. Clinton, in a new interview with Der Spiegel of Germany, didn’t apologize for the preponderance of Bushes and Clintons on the national
political scene.
She said that “certain families just have a sense of commitment or even a predisposition to want to be in politics.”
Two that come to mind? The Roosevelts and the Adamses, Mrs. Clinton said. John Adams was the nation’s second president; his eldest son, John
Quincy Adams, was the nation’s sixth. Theodore Roosevelt served from 1901-1 909; his distant cousin Franklin Roosevelt served from 1 933 until
his death in 1 945.
Still, Mrs. Clinton said that her last name proved to be no help when she ran for president in 2008 and lost to someone with no political pedigree: Mr.
Obama.
The U.S., she said, “is not a monarchy in which I wake up in the morning and abdicate in favor of my son.”
But what about her daughter? Chelsea Clinton has become an increasingly prominent figure in national public life and now plays a leadership role in
the family’s charitable foundation. Would Mrs. Clinton like to see Chelsea find her own place in politics-the family business?
“It is really up to her, and I’ll support her in whatever she chooses,” Mrs. Clinton told Der Spiegel.

CNN: “Clinton weighs in on American political dynasties”
By Dana Davidsen
July 8, 2014,4:01 p.m. EDT
The Clintons and the Bushes aren't the only families with an extended presence in American presidential politics.
That's a piece of history Hillary Clinton was sure to note in an interview published Tuesday in Germany's Der Spiegel when asked if America will
turn into a monarchy if she or Jeb Bush were to win the presidency in 2016 (should either decide to run).
"We had two Roosevelts. We had two Adams," Clinton said, adding "It may be that certain families just have a sense of commitment or even a
predisposition to want to be in politics."
"I ran for president, as you remember. I lost to somebody named Barack Obama, so I don't think there is any guarantee in American politics. My last
name did not help me in the end," she said. "Our system is open to everyone. It is not a monarchy in which I wake up in the morning and abdicate in
favor of my son."
If Bush ran and won in 201 6, he would be the third Bush in the White House over the past three decades. And if Clinton ran and won the next
election, she would be the second President Clinton in the White House in the past two decades, after her husband.
As Clinton weighs whether to launch a campaign for the White House in 2016, her name recognition - as former first lady, as well as secretary of
state and senator - has been a double-edged sword.
Her global popularity helped during her time as America's top diplomat and will undoubtedly spur book sales as she continues the European leg of
her book tour for "Hard Choices." But being such a longtime figure in U.S. politics might also prove to be a negative if she runs for president as
Americans' trust in Washington falters.
Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, is also considering a run for the White House. Should he run, he has the support of his family - including his
father, Bush 41 , and his brother, Bush 43 - but his mother, Barbara Bush, has expressed reservations about having another Bush in the White
House.
She said in an interview earlier this year "I think this is a great American country, and if we can't find more than two or three families to run for high
office, that's silly."
Bush has joked about his mother's comments, but also discussed how his family name may hurt him as much as help him if he decides to run for
the White House in 2016.
And a majority of Americans agree with Mrs. Bush. Sixty-nine percent of people questioned in a NBC News/WSJ poll conducted in April said there
should be more diversity in families in the White House.
National Journal: “What Hillary Clinton Gets Wrong About Political Dynasties”

Hillary Clinton is an ambivalent member of a political dynasty — at least when she's talking to reporters.
In an interview with the German newspaper Der Spiegel, Clinton insisted for the umpteenth time that she hasn't made up her mind about running for
president. But more interesting was this question posed to Clinton, which framed her potential run as evidence of the quasi-aristocratic nature of
the presidency [emphasis mine]:
SPIEGEL: For the past 25 years, there were two families that were very prominent in politics, your family and the Bush family. First George Bush
was president for four years, then your husband led the country for eight years, and then George W. Bush was president for eight years. If either
you or Jeb Bush were to win the election in 201 6, once again a member of these two families would become president. Will the American
democracy turn into a monarchy?
Clinton: We had two Roosevelts. We had two Adams. It may be that certain families just have a sense of commitment or even a predisposition to
want to be in politics. I ran for president, as you remember. I lost to somebody named Barack Obama, so I don't think there is any guarantee in
American politics. My last name did not help me in the end. Our system is open to everyone. It is not a monarchy in which I wake up in the morning
and abdicate in favor of my son.
Clinton's right — we do not live in a monarchy. But it might seem like it, surveying the field of popular Democrats who want to run in 2016 whose
initials are not HRC (cue crickets).
Which raises the question: Do dynastic families have more of a genetic commitment to public service, as Clinton suggests, or is it just the family
business? Blake Carrington would never claim to "just have a sense of commitment or even a predisposition to being an oil tycoon."
Still, one recent study found that inherited political power is more about nurture than nature.
Researchers at Brown University found that political power in Congress is self-perpetuating, and that the longer a politician holds office, the more
likely he or she is to see relatives become politicians. They found that, from 1 789 to 1 996, 8.7 percent of members had relatives who previously
served in Congress.
The authors of the study concede that "unobserved family characteristics" could contribute to politicians' dynastic powers. They also found that
children of politicians aren't necessarily more likely to become miniature versions of their parents — nor does having political parents give them a
predisposition for public service. But if these political offspring do decide to go into politics, they'll have a leg up on the competition:
“We find that dynastic politicians are less likely to start their career in the House, suggesting they have the ability or means to enter directly through
the Senate, a much smaller and more prestigious body. This difference cannot be attributed to a later entry into Congress: dynastic legislators enter
Congress at about 44 years of age, just like non-dynastic legislators. Dynastic legislators are not more likely to come from a state different than the
one they represent and are significantly less likely to have previous public experience, although they are more likely to have a college degree."
Americans generally have a love-hate relationship with political dynasties — we say we don't want the same families to continue holding office, but
as soon as names are named, we flock to their corner. In a recent survey on dynasties, a majority of respondents said they hope the Bushes and
the Clintons of the world don't dominate the 2016 presidential race. Ironically, most respondents also reported favorable views of the Clinton and
Bush families.
Liking a political family is, of course, different from voting one's members into office cycle after cycle. But data presents a startling disconnect
between how voters want democracy to work in theory and in practice.
Whether or not having a household name helps your election chances, belonging to a political dynasty certainly conveys some privileges that no-
name candidates don't have. Ffactically, it's easier to raise money and organize supporters as a candidate when you are (or your family is) a
known commodity, potentially with a ready-made support network already at your service. And psychologically, the power of incumbency cannot

be underestimated, as political reputations trickle down from patriarch or matriarch to family members.
Of course, this effect could also backfire for politicians whose names bear negative associations. Jeb Bush publicly acknowledged earlier this
year that his name was "an issue." Then again, it appears that time can heal many wounds — George W. Bush is more popular today than he was
during his last three years in office.
Are political dynasties different from other types of dynasties? In U.S. culture, the first family takes on de facto royalty status in a way that other
family empires rarely do — unless your last name happens to be Kardashian. But unlike in a monarchy, what America's royalty does with the power
conferred upon them is completely up to them.
New York Times: “It Takes a Village (and a Composer and a Writer)”
By Amy Chozick
July 8, 2014
As Hillary Rodham Clinton contemplates another run for the presidency in 2016, she has written a book (“Hard Choices”), delivered upbeat paid
speeches to trade groups (“Leadership is a team sport”) and pitched in at her family’s foundation. Now she can add another line to her resume:
musical theater muse.
Like Eva Peron in “Evita” and Imelda Marcos in “Here Lies Love” (not to mention the Founding Fathers who crowd “1 776”), Mrs. Clinton is a larger-
than-life political leader whose career cries out for music. Or so believe the creators of “A Woman on Top” and “Clinton: The Musical,” two shows
currently testing the waters in New York.
Depending on whom you ask, Mrs. Clinton is either one of the world’s most admired women or a political animal who attracts scandal. The more
positive view mostly wins out in these stage depictions.
“A Woman on Top,” which will hold a reading for potential investors on Wednesday, is the inspirational tale of a female political candidate’s battles
against sexism, set to song. Virginia Stanton is a New York senator who, in her noble quest for the presidency, inspires millions of women but
ends up suffering a precipitous loss to a charismatic male opponent. (Shock spoiler alert: Her husband, a charming Southern governor, can’t
control his impulses.)
“Clinton: The Musical,” a satire about scandals of the 1990s, will make its United States premiere on July 18 as part of the New York Musical
Theater Festival. Written by Paul and Michael Hodge, Australian brothers, it portrays two sides of Resident Bill Clinton: the jovial id who cannot
control himself and the pensive policy wonk who cannot stop talking about the intricacies of health care reform. Mrs. Clinton is the struggling-to-be-
stabilizing force, grappling with the Lewinsky scandal while slyly eyeing her own Senate run.
Paul Hodge said his inspiration was Mr. Clinton’s 2004 autobiography, “My Life,” in which the former president explored his “outside life” and his
“internal life.” Dick Morris, the former Clinton aide-turned-enemy, called these parallel lives “Saturday Night Bill” and “Sunday Morning President
Clinton.”
Different actors play each side of the former president. “He’s so complex that it seemed like an appropriate device,” Mr. Hodge said.
There’s only one Hillary. In the song “No!,” she and both versions of her husband struggle to write a 1 998 State of the Union address that will not
remind people of the Lewinsky affair. Lines like “We can stand erect ...” and “No longer on our knees ...” are promptly rejected.
The Clintons have already left a big mark on pop culture, from the 1 998 movie “Primary Colors,” based on the roman a clef by Joe Klein, to “The

Special Relationship,” a 201 0 HBO movie about Mr. Clinton and Tony Blair. The USA Network’s political drama “Political Animals,” with Sigourney
Weaver as a fictional version of Mrs. Clinton, lasted a single season.
Other projects haven’t gotten off the ground. Last fall, NBC abandoned plans to develop a mini-series about Mrs. Clinton, starring Diane Lane.
Around the same time, CNN scrapped a documentary from Charles H. Ferguson, who won an Oscar for the 201 0 documentary “Inside Job.”
Mrs. Clinton’s supporters and critics had expressed concerns that the projects would either denigrate her in order to create TV drama or cast her
in an unfairly positive light ahead of the 201 6 election. (Both networks said the outside pressure had no impact on their decisions to cancel the
projects.)
The creators of the musical “A Woman on Top,” Rhonda Kess and Dale Kiken, are unabashed Clinton supporters. They began writing the show in
the years after Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 defeat by Barack Obama, when talk of sexism permeated cable news.
“If there’s a way for this piece to stimulate conversation while being extremely entertaining, then we’ll have set out with what we wanted to do,”
said Ms. Kess, a classical composer who wrote the music that accompanies Mr. Kiken’s dialogue. (They previously collaborated on “Lost and
Found: The Trial of St. Bernadette,” which had its premiere in Los Angeles last year.)
As Virginia Stanton seeks the country’s highest office, she says things like “Liberty, freedom and equality still ring true in the ears of America,”
while her ex-husband and opponent, Gov. George Reitman of Texas, tries to squash her ambitions. “Naw, honey, why would you want to get all
that muck over your nice skirt,” he says.
“Clinton: The Musical,” which was nominated for best new musical at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2012, takes a less earnest approach. Paul
Hodge said he had the idea for the show after he went with his father to a production of “Keating!,” a musical about Paul Keating, the former prime
minister of Australia. At the end of the performance, his father remarked that he didn’t think politicians were necessarily the best musical subjects.
“He said, The only politician who would make a good musical would be Bill Clinton,’ ” Mr. Hodge recalled. “And I said, ‘Of course!’ ” For the Hodges’
show, Mrs. Clinton’s character always had political ambitions, but the musical has evolved as it became clearer that she could run for president
again in 2016. And the history of the Lewinsky scandal, which inevitably plays a big part in the musical, had to be rethought after Ms. Lewinsky re-
emerged with an essay in the June issue of Vanity Fair. “That reminded everyone, us included, that she is a real human being and not just a joke
that has been going on for all these years,” said Adam Arian, the show’s director.
The creators of both shows hope to attract attention and backing to reach large audiences. For the “Clinton: The Musical” team, in particular, the
New York Musical Theater Festival is a chance to gauge the local appetite for ail things Clinton after its debut in Edinburgh. “Paul wanted to know
what the American audience thought about material developed by an Australian in the United Kingdom,” said Dan Markley, the executive director of
the festival.
Will the much debated phenomenon of Clinton fatigue extend to the stage?
In “Clinton: The Musical,” Duke Lafoon portrays Billy Clinton, the fun-loving side to the serious W. J. Clinton (Karl Kenzler). Mr. Lafoon had
previously played Mr. Clinton in “Monica! The Musical,” a 2005 Off Broadway show that featured Mrs. Clinton as a scheming strategist.
He said he’ll hang up his Bill Clinton act after this one.
“They’re so heavily in the news right now, with Hillary’s book and potential run for the White House, so we’ll ride that wave,” Mr. Lafoon said. “At
the same time, I understand what people say. Do we need these jokes again?”

Washington Post blog: The Fix: “Hillary Clinton is rich. She is not Mitt Romney rich.”
By Aaron Blake
July 8, 2014, 8:30 a.m. EDT
Hillary Clinton's wealth is still all the rage - first because of some "inartful" comments she made about it and more recently because of scrutiny of
her massive speaking fees.
But just how rich is Clinton? Well, as the chart below shows, she would likely be wealthier than any other major 2016 presidential candidate or
recent president who has filed an official federal financial report.
But she's not really in the same ballpark as two other recent candidates: Massachusetts' own Mitt Romney and current Secretary of State John
Kerry -- or at least she wasn't as of 2012.
Here's how that looks, according to the most recent federal filings:
[INTERACTIVE NET WORTH CHART, 2012]
And here's the full interactive graphic.
You'll note that Clinton's maximum estimated net worth ($25 million) was about 1/1 0th that of Romney, with whom Kerry is in the same ballpark. It's
important to note that the Clintons likely upped their net worth significantly after Hillary Clinton left as secretary of state - some have estimated it at
$55 million or higher - but that's a lot of ground to make up.
Does it matter that Clinton's wealth is not quite on-par with the Romneys and the Kerrys of the political world? Maybe not. Clearly, they are all far
wealthier than the vast, vast majority of Americans, and it's becoming clearer and clearer that, just like Romney, Clinton will have to deal with
questions about whether she's out of touch with average Americans (and $225,000 speaking gigs won't do anything to quell that).
But it's also worth noting that, while Romney has spent his life as a part of the upper economic echelon of Americans, the Clintons are relative
newcomers to extreme wealth. And their extreme wealth isn't quite as extreme as Romney's.
Politico Magazine column: Sec. John Kerry: “Why Is the Senate Hobbling American Diplomacy?”
By Sec. John Kerry
July 8, 2014
Boko Haram’s horrifying abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria ignited universal calls for help to “bring back our girls.” President Barack
Obama responded with urgency, but lost in the story is that one tool the United States would like to have at our disposal is hampered by the
absence of U.S. ambassadors in neighboring Cameroon and Niger.
Both embassies have been without ambassadors for more than eight months. That means we lost eight months when we would have had full-
strength, highest-level capacity to build greater regional cooperation and trust to combat the rising threat from this brutal extremist group. Eight
months when U.S. advice and training could have helped equip these critical countries to better help themselves. Eight months when we could

have provided better assistance to respond to a moral outrage.
This is not an isolated example. The United States continues to operate without a complete diplomatic toolbox to exert our leadership and advance
our security and economic interests across the globe, because a broken Senate confirmation process has left us without permanent ambassadors
in 40 countries.
The nominees for these jobs, including Niger and Cameroon, are victims of a confirmation backlog that grows with each passing day. It leaves too
many of our best and brightest — particularly career Foreign Service officers — languishing on the sidelines instead of being on the ground
fighting to protect and promote our interests.
Who are these diplomats? Fifty-three State Department nominees are pending before the Senate. Thirty-seven of them have been approved by the
Foreign Relations Committee and could be confirmed immediately with a simple vote. The majority of the nominees, 35 in all, are apolitical career
diplomats, and none of them are controversial.
There is a solution staring us in the face — and that answer is the powerful example of how military nominees are traditionally treated by the
Senate. The administration’s military nominees are confirmed quickly and en bloc, which is the proper way to handle them. For America to play a
strong role in the world, we need equal treatment for diplomats. The Senate should carve out State’s career nominees and expedite their
confirmation just as it does for military promotions.
Make no mistake: Vacancies in so many world capitals send a dangerous message to allies and adversaries alike about America’s engagement.
This perception makes it much more difficult to do the nonpartisan work at the heart of U.S. foreign policy — defending the security of our nation,
promoting our values and helping our businesses compete to create American jobs back home.
The length and number of these vacancies compromise U.S. national security. In the Middle East alone, the tragic conflict in Syria and rising
extremism threaten a region where we have extensive economic and security interests. The Senate, to its credit, confirmed ambassadors to Egypt
and Iraq last month, but more remains to be done. The Senate must quickly approve ambassadors to Algeria, Kuwait and Qatar, just three of the
countries where we have pressing security interests.
Vacancies also exist in strategic European countries like Flungary, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Moldova and Albania. Without the authority of an
ambassador, we cannot engage fully with officials at the highest levels in places where shared democratic values are under threat. In yet another
example, we need an ambassador in Flonduras to help find ways to prevent the crush of unaccompanied minors along our southwestern border.
Ambassadors also are the front line of our global push on behalf of U.S. businesses large and small. Last year, high-level State Department
advocacy was responsible for more than $5.5 billion worth of contracts awarded to U.S. companies by foreign governments. These contracts
translated directly into thousands of jobs for Americans here at home.
America’s leading companies recognize that our ambassadors are vital to their success overseas. Already this year, U.S. businesses have sought
embassy assistance in pursuing $1 1 9 billion worth of contracts in countries where a nominee is pending. These opportunities will go to our global
competitors if we don’t have ambassadors to lead our advocacy. We simply cannot lead if we are not represented.
In my travels as secretary of state, I have seen as never before the thirst for American leadership in the world. And in my nearly 30 years in the
Senate, I saw firsthand the determination of most senators to make their institution work effectively. I believe that both of these are powerful
reasons for the Senate to act now to both provide greater American leadership around the globe and to demonstrate that our democracy can work
here at home.

Friend, who do they think they are?
The Koch Brothers-funded Super PAC just bought air time in Virginia to fund an ad
claiming to speak for Virginians. That's right, two billionaires from Kansas think
they can waltz in here and drown out Virginians' voices.
That's just not right.
People across the Commonwealth have spoken — they want to close the health
care coverage gap and provide affordable health insurance to hundreds of
thousands of Virginians. We're fighting to make that a reality, but we need your
help.
Will you donate $5 today so that we can make sure Virginians aren't
drowned out bv out-of-state special interest attack ads?
Common Good VA is dedicated to supporting Governor McAuliffe and closing the health care coverage gap.
Not only will that provide affordable health insurance to hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors
who just want a shot at healthy and productive lives here in Virginia — but it will also create good paying jobs
across the Commonwealth. And it will infuse our economy with money that we can then spend on improving our
schools and fixing our transportation system.
Will you stand with me and show the Koch Brothers and their special interest friends that
Virginians' principles can't be bought?

VICTORY FUND
I'm announcing a big opportunity: Chip in to the LCV Victory Fund today, and your donation will
be TRIPLED to defeat the Dirty Dozen »
John,
Let me be blunt: A handful of votes are all that stand between corporate polluters and complete control of
Congress.
That’s why Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers are pumping money into races from Massachusetts to
Montana - attempting to protect their anti-environmental, anti-science cronies, including members of LCV’s
Dirty Dozen. And it's working - polls show razor-thin margins in races across the country.
If they win, we'll wake up on November 7th to a world where polluters get a free pass and
investments in clean energy get slashed. I know you won't let that happen. With so many races neck
and neck, we need the LCV’s voter outreach programs in full force: knocking on doors for Elizabeth
Warren, sending targeted mail for Chris Murphy, and getting environmentalists to vote for Jon Tester.
I know we can win - but they'll need our support, John. For a limited time only, every gift you make
to support the LCV Victory Fund’s voter outreach efforts will be TRIPLED. There's truly no
better time to give.
Help kick out the Dirty Dozen and other anti-environmental candidates with your gift to the
LCV Victory Fund. Your donation will have THREE TIMES the impact »
From now until Election Day, the messaging and ad war is in high gear as campaigns try to sway undecided
voters. You know as well as I do that Big Oil's favorite candidates have the funding to blanket the airwaves.
Only LCV Victory Fund - with its strategic and aggressive electoral strategies - can set the record straight.
And it's a good thing, too, because we're fighting in some tough races:
• Take Massachusetts, where Elizabeth Warren is neck and neck with anti-environmental
opponent Sen. Scott Brown, who has opposed vital clean air protections and cutting tax breaks
for the oil industry. The race is a toss-up, and our efforts over the next few weeks could determine the winner.
• Then there’s Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon, who has actually said she’d be willing to consider dismantling
the EPA. But her opponent, Rep. Chris Murphy, has an LCV lifetime environmental score of 98 percent.
• Or think of Rep. Dennis Rehberg of Montana, a huge ally of the oil industry who's challenging clean-energy champion Sen. Jon
Tester. LCV's projections show that this race could come down to a few thousand votes - a margin that's just too close for
comfort.
Candidates like Brown, McMahon and Rehberg are padding their war chests with campaign cash from corporate polluters, happy to oppose
climate policies but support tax breaks for Big Oil. Their vision of government is one of deregulation, denial, and destruction. It's not a world I
want my children and grandchildren to inherit - and I know you agree.
Grassroots support from people like you can tip the balance in these tight races. And in these final two weeks, we've got to go all

How very sad. I always found it a joy to see Warren at a faculty workshop or at a Friday L&E colloquium. I got to
know him only after he became emeritus, and I was always struck by his continuing interest in new ideas — and his
continuing rigor. A true scholar. And a wonderful dinner companion!
I’ll also second Sherm’s observation: Warren was central to building the law school we have today, for which I owe
him (together with others) a debt of gratitude.

Dear colleagues,
I regret to report the death of our retired colleague. Professor Warren Schwartz, yesterday evening, after a
long illness. Warren was a pioneer in the Law and Economics movement and taught here for more than 20 years,
after many years at the University of Virginia. He had an intense devotion to scholarship leavened by an impish
Brooklyn wit.
We do not yet have information about a memorial service but it is likely to be held in the first half of the
coming week. I will pass on more information, when I receive it. Also, will consider the best way for Warren to be
memorialized at the Law Center.
With a heavy heart,

Dan,
There's lots of good stuff here but I think our critique of the Republicans has to come from a more consistent
point of view, so we make a clear argument.
Our fundamental contrast is that Republicans would rip away the progress we've made on the economy by
returning to failed top down economics and are out of touch/stuck in the past on social issues.
So, for example on health care, I wouldn't say they "had a bad day yesterday" - which is a political lens or "they
should stop creating problems and start solving them I'd focus on the fact they're still trying to fight the
progress we've made, and repeal the Affordable Care Act.. .50 votes, 2 Supreme Court decisions and they still
want to return to the days of....
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks
Mandy

For Immediate Release
Generals Rebuke McCain’s False Attack On Obama Over
Military Hospital Visit
Washington, D.C. - Even as John McCain's campaign has backtracked from its recent and
erroneous assertions regarding Barack Obama's cancelled visit to a military hospital in Gennany, three
retired Generals signed on to a statement criticizing McCain's decision to falsely attack Obama. Below
is the full text of the statement:
"Over the last several days, Senator McCain and his political handlers have engaged in a
systematic attempt to fabricate a story that intends to call into question Senator Obama's
patriotism. We believe that by doing so, Senator McCain has abandoned the principles
that have led so many military officers to respect him for so many years.
"We are profoundly disappointed that in the thick of political battle, he has been willing
to abandon his principles in order to try to win an election.
"We call on Senator McCain and his political operatives to abandon these dishonorable
tactics that demean our politics and undermine the commitment that all of us made as
military officers to defend the principles and ideals that lay at the foundation of our
democracy. "

BIG DONORS CALL FOR STRICTER CAMPAIGN LAWS
http://thecaucus.blogs.nvtimes.com/2010/02/16/big-donors-call-for-stricter-campaien-laws/
If anyone knows the burdens of political fund-raising, it is the biggest political donors — the rich partisans who field the
constant calls from elected officials pressing for checks to fill their campaign coffers.
So to help make their case to House Democratic leaders, advocates of stricter campaign financing laws have enlisted a roster of
about 60 of the biggest donors to the House Democratic campaign committee — donors like Jonathan Soros, son of the
billionaire financier George Soros; Douglas Durst, the New York real estate magnate; and Herb Sandler, the banker-turned-
philanthropist.
A coalition of groups promoting a plan for public financing of Congressional elections has recruited the donors to sign a letter
urging House leaders to push it forward, arguing for urgency in the aftermath of the recent Supreme Court ruling, known as
Citizens United, which allows corporations, unions and other groups to finance big political commercials. "As we well know from
the solicitation calls we receive, our political leaders must fund-raise constantly," the letter declares.
The donor letter-signers — all among society's wealthiest few— write: "The court's action will clearly lead to an increase in
independent expenditures by the wealthiest interests in our society, diminishing the voices of candidates and voters alike." The
threat of "outside intervention in elections," they declare, "will add to the already intolerable pressure on members of Congress
to raise campaign funds, a consuming distraction for those who are tasked with leading our nation during difficult times such as
these."
The full letter, addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, can be read here, < http://fairelectionsnow.org/files/
pelosi donor letter. pdf >
The proposal they are endorsing would provide grants and matching funds to encourage candidates to rely only on small
donations from private contributors. It would also presumably relieve big donors of a considerable financial burden. Prospects
this year, however, are uncertain.

I think these are excellent, esp the rich details about emails sent on weekends and holidays.
My only suggested edit (attached) is to rephrase 'not a major user of email' (which to the ear sounds a little

The Historic China-Taiwan Meeting Will
Not Serve Xi
Volker Stanzel
November 10, 2015
BERLIN — Only black-and-white photographs remain of the last time the leaders of the Nationalist
Party of China, the Kuomintang (KMT), and the Communist Party met. That was Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Tsetung in September 1945. Seventy years later, though, when the
successors of the two - Xi Jinping from Beijing and Ma Ying-jeou from Taipei - met in Singapore
this past Saturday, everything was in color and on film too. There is a deep sense of the history
shared by the two parties and the cruel struggles between them that led one into exile in Taiwan
and the other to power in Beijing. But President Xi does not pursue symbolism alone. Symbolism
is always linked to forward-looking politics: just as on September 7 of this year when China
celebrated the defeat of Imperial Japan seventy years ago for the first time ever with an army
parade in Beijing; reminding friend and foe alike that the new China will not allow itself to be
pushed around ever again. This meeting, though, seems to have been a miscalculation by Xi.
The West should not expect more unity between China and Taiwan to result...

field a mid-January poll about McCain if we need. And, we are going deeper on Romney to strengthen our
attacks on him.
We are trying to schedule a call for Monday with our update.

Sub'ect' RELEASE: Clinton Measure to Bar Bonuses for Underperforming Homeland Security Contractors
Included in Omnibus Appropriations Bill

CLINTON MEASURE TO BAR BONUSES FOR UNDERPERFORMING HOMELAND
SECURITY CONTRACTORS INCLUDED IN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL
Washington, DC - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today announced that she has
secured inclusion of a measure in the Omnibus Appropriations bill that will bar the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from giving award fees or bonuses to
contractors without regard to performance. Senator Clinton's amendment requires
DHS to give award fees, or bonuses, to contractors only if the contractor meets
specific outlined stipulations in their contract. The Omnibus Appropriations bill is
expected to be considered this week by the House and Senate.
"The Department of Homeland Security should be holding their contractors
accountable and not rewarding bad behavior. With high risk areas like New York
fighting for precious homeland security funds, it is outrageous that DHS is awarding
bonuses to contractors that they haven't even earned," said Senator Clinton.
A number of reports have revealed that the Department of Homeland Security has
been giving private contractors award fees without proper justification. In 2005, the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) awarded a contract to Boeing initially
estimated to be worth $508 million. The Inspector General for the Department of
Homeland Security found that the TSA gave Boeing at least $44 million in award fees
without evaluating the company's performance. Earlier this year, the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) found that despite documented problems in schedule,
performance, cost control, and contract administration throughout the first year of
the Coast Guard Deepwater contract, a DHS contractor had received a rating of 87
percent, which fell in the "very good" range and resulted in an award fee of $4
million.
Senator Clinton's amendment requires DHS to give award fees or bonuses to
contractors only if the contractor meets the stipulations related to cost, schedule, and
performance outlined in the contract. If a contractor receives a poor performance
evaluation, exceeds costs specified in the contract, or does not meet the deadlines
specified in the contract, then the contractor will not receive an award fee or bonus
from DHS.
Just recently HRC wrote to the DHS Inspector General calling for an investigation into
the contracting practices by DHS. Click here to view Senator Clinton's letter.

Sorry :(
The page you are looking for might have been removed or
is temporarily unavailable.
Dear Colleagues,
We need your assistance in updating your personal/demographic information, including your gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship, disability, and military status data in
the Georgetown Management System (GMS).
Georgetown University receives substantial federal financial assistance for research projects, student financial aid programs, and other related matters. We are a
federal contractor and are subject to governmental recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the Department of Labor, Department of Education, and the
administration of civil rights laws and regulations. This obligates us to submit a host of reports documenting data about our employees and students, as well as
complying with policies that require us to demonstrate the University's assurance of compliance with federal laws and regulations. Our continued accreditation, receipt
of student financial aid, and research funding, for example, depend on the accuracy of these reports. This is a very important initiative for the University and we need
your help.
Qatar Employees : you will have received an earlier Qatar-specific message from Mary Anne Mahin. Please follow the instructions in that email and disregard the
instructions below.
To review and update vour personal/demoaraphic information in GMS, click here . Your GU NetID and password are required to login. Instructions on how to
complete these tasks in GMS can be found here
While reviewing your personal information, we ask that you also review and update your Education information, and Emergency and Work Contact
information. The steps on how to find and update your Education and Emergency Contact information are included in the instructions . If you have changes to your
work contact information, such as your position title or work phone number, please ask your Department Administrator or HR Contact to assist with those changes in
GMS on your behalf.
Although Georgetown is required by f ederal law to solicit this information, submission of your personal information is voluntary, and the information you provide will be
kept confidential and may only be used in accordance with the provisions of applicable laws, federal Executive Orders, and regulations.
Please complete your information review and updates by Friday. October 3. 2014 .
Later this month, you will receive a survey f rom David Shearman, Georgetown University’s Veteran’s Office Coordinator, to participate in a survey. The University
has a growing number of military and veteran students. In an effort to increase understanding and support for this population, and to create more meaningful
connections inside and outside the classroom, the Georgetown Veteran’s Office is working with the Office of Assessment and Decisions Support (OADS) to identify
how many faculty and staff members are veterans. Our goal is to increase engagement between our student veterans and our faculty and staff so Georgetown can
continue to improve veteran education. In support of this goal, please verify your veteran status when updating your demographic information and look for our
veteran-specific survey in the near f uture.
Thank you for your attention to this important requirement.
Sincerely,

John and Amanda-Congratulations on the seven state victory tonight. Unfortunately Colorado was not in the win
column, but lest you worry, the HRC team will win Colorado in November. And indeed when the delegates per
Congressional District are apportioned and you add the super delegates, I think we win. More importantly, a few
quick observations for November:
1. Hillary won Pueblo County (52-47) large and Hispanic (thanks WJC) and Arapahoe County (large urban and
diverse). Hillary won in rural south and eastern Colorado. Indeed, in my native Conejos County, we won 58-40.
To me that says, we need to continue our efforts in the suburbs, rural, and Hispanic counties as part of our
victory equation;
2. Bernie won in the big Counties and Cities with major university populations-e.g., Boulder, Fort Collins,
Greeley, Denver and Grand Junction. As in other places around the Country, we need to figure out how to reach
the young voters;
3. For HRC, and real results politicians, caucuses are simply hard. And we were outspent 3 to 1, here in
Colorado; and
4. Brad Komar and all the HRC a team did a great job. Onto victory in November. Good night!
Warm regards,
Ken

Every year, corporate special interests spend millions of dollars on nasty, negative ads.
But unlike candidates, who have to stand by each of their ads, corporations don't have to
come clean about their involvement. It isn't right. Voters deserve to know exactly where
these messages are coming from.
The DISCLOSE Act would require corporations and advocacy groups to appear in
every ad they run and approve its message. And no company that has a government
contract of more than $50,000, or gets taxpayer-funded assistance through a
program like TARP, would be able to spend money on elections.
These and other reform measures would help reduce the power and influence
corporations have on our elections, but the Republicans say they don't want them. They

Both the Clinton Foundation and President Obama’s transition team believed that funding should continue

Q. Why was it important for the foundation that some foreign government
donations be allowed to continue after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state (i.e.
those from governments that had been giving and then continued to do so at a
steady pace, as well as new or increased donation that cleared a state department
review)? Why do foundation officials believe such donations did not pose any
conflicts of interest given Secretary Clinton's role, as some have alleged?
“As with other global charities, we rely on the support of individuals,

Italy and Swiss dailies Tages-Anzeiger and Tribune de Geneve. Conversations are underway with France’s Le Figaro. LENA

simultaneously in the above said newspapers (interviews, features, opeds). It is in this regard that I would very much
appreciate it if you could consider the possibility of us having an interview with Secretary Clinton. There is plenty for the
Secretary to say to the people of Europe. We do not have a set timeframe, and we are perfectly aware of how tight her
schedule is. We also know that interviews get arranged by strict policies and guidelines and only if they serve the
communication agenda of the Secretary. Nevertheless, if an interview could be arranged in the next days or even weeks, it
would send a powerful message to a Continent in distress after the terror attacks in Paris.
Should any questions or further queries arise, please do not hesitate to contact me.

LENA is launching later this month to strive for the consolidation of an Europe-wide public opinion. Its members share a
series of common values regarding the importance of quality journalism in the structuring of open, democratic societies with
a message of economic progress, social justice and defence of individual civil liberties.
Die Welt from Germany, El Pais from Spain, La Repubblica from Italy, Le Soir from Belgium, and Swiss dailies Tages-
Anzeiger and Tribune de Geneve have already signed, each an opinion leader in their respective markets. Conversations with
France’s Le Figaro to join the alliance are underway. LENA has therefore a combined reach of many millions of readers,
both in print and online, in four different languages and in five countries across Europe. LENA, therefore, assures a broad
impact for any interview, oped or feature published simultaneously in all members of the Alliance.
Should Secretary Clinton be interested in speaking to people across Europe, LENA would be delighted to facilitate this,
Very best regards, and warmest wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015.
Yours ever -
Matt

“It’s a fight, he says, that he does “not intend to lose,” the piece concludes.
Rep. Ryan also minces no words when it comes to repealing the Affordable Care Act , including the welcome new Patient's Bill
of Rights that took effect on September 23 rd , from allowing young adults under 26 to stay on their parents’ plans to bringing an end
to some of the worst insurance industry practices like denying coverage to kids with “Pre-Existing Conditions,"
coverage when they get sick and need it most, or imposing lifetime caps on coverage.
These reforms can not be allowed to stand, according to Paul Ryan: “We should look at every option we
us to try to repeal and replace this law,” Ryan says. “This law cannot stand. It is a policy disaster
explosion.” His plan of attack: “We will go at the funding angle from many different directions.”

Ryan Looks Down the Road
The man who might become Budget Committee chairman remains committed to fiscal solvency.
^E/arlier this year, Rep. Paul Ryan, a 40-year-old Republican congressman from Wisconsin, published “A Roadmap for
America’s Future,” his blueprint for balancing the budget. Despite much fanfare, Ryan’s proposal — which rigorously
tackles federal entitlements, taxes, and spending — was left out of the House OOP’s “Pledge to America.” The omission, he
says, does not signal a retreat by him or his party.
“I did not write the pledge,” Ryan says in an interview with NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE. “I did the first draft of the preamble
and that’s pretty much what my involvement was.#. . .#1 was consulted on policy ideas, but not on writing the thing. I was
not one of its architects.” Rather than judge the pledge as an all-encompassing policy document, Ryan calls it an “important
and necessary first step.” Its text, he notes, does not preclude him from continuing to battle for long-term fiscal solvency.
Should Republicans win the House, Ryan would likely ascend to the chairmanship of the Budget Committee, a powerful post.
“We obviously are going to have to take on entitlement reform,” he says. “I don’t know what the budget will look like, but
its form will be determined by the consensus I can get from at least 218 people. What I would hope to do is get this budget
needle moving in the right direction.” Still, as he looks toward a possible scenario of divided government, Ryan is quick to
say that he does not wish to “overpromise.”
For the moment, Ryan remains unsure about the exact future of the “Roadmap,” and whether he could package its
components into a passable budget. But he is confident in his party’s ability to have an “adult conversation” on entitlements
in coming months. Ryan says Republican leaders are supportive of his ongoing budget work and swats away whispers of
intraparty turmoil.

Without hesitation, Ryan tells us that Rep. John Boehner, the House GOP leader, understands the economic stakes. “I think
[Boehner] grasps where America is and what we’re confronting,” Ryan says. “John Boehner never once tried to talk me out
of pushing these ideas and reforms. There has never been a discouraging comment or word from him on pushing the fold on
big ideas.”
Beyond Boehner, Ryan says that his GOP colleagues on the Budget Committee are stalwart in their commitment to
entitlement reform. “The culture on the Budget Committee is great,” he says. “Anybody who studies this problem or digs
deep into the numbers is seriously frightened about the future of this country. They realize the urgency of the moment. After
a sober review of the fiscal condition of this country, most people just put politics aside.”
“I spend a lot of my time looking at these baselines,” Ryan says. “Most people don’t know this stuff. Most people in
Congress don’t understand just how quickly our fiscal situation has deteriorated. And now the Left thinks that you can keep
raising taxes, as if there were no consequences to that.” To fight back, Ryan says Republicans need to focus on two things:
“economic growth and reforming the structure of spending.” The debt, he warns, will continue to spiral out of control
unless Congress “literally restructures the programs that are growing so fast.”
The way forward, Ryan continues, must include a robust platform founded upon “pro-growth tax policies, sound money,
clear and transparent regulation, and government restraint.” Republicans, he says, “are unanimous on not raising tax rates
and in getting our tax code more competitive internationally so that we can grow.”
Repealing Obamacare is another important, and popular, measure. “We should look at every option we have available to us to
try to repeal and replace this law,” Ryan says. “This law cannot stand. It is a policy disaster and a fiscal explosion.” His plan
of attack: “We will go at the funding angle from many different directions.”
An earmark moratorium — also left out of the pledge — is another area where Ryan promises to tangle. “Of course we are
for an earmark moratorium,” he says. “That just goes without saying. You think, if we get the majority next year, that we
are going to start turning earmarks on? Some people might think that, but they’re in for a rude awakening.”
In coming months, winning over new GOP members, and providing them with reams of economic data and an idea of the
federal government’s long-term fiscal outlook, is high on Ryan’s to-do list. To help the cause, Ryan intends to pen version
3.0 of the “Roadmap” early next year. “What we need to do is quickly bring them up to speed,” he says. Some, of course,
are already well-versed on the “Roadmap” and its principles. “Dozens” of House candidates, Ryan confides, have reached
out to him to offer their support for his budget plan, which, for the moment, has only 13 co-sponsors. “Reinforcements are
coming,” he assures us.
Still, such conversations, Ryan sighs, are often private, since Democrats have eagerly targeted the “Roadmap” and Ryan
himself. Many Republicans are wary of backing Ryan’s ideas publicly. “Look, I get that,” he says. “I’ve experienced their
demagoguery on entitlements. It’s like being hit by a two-by-four across the head.”
“Scaring seniors is apparently the past, present, and future of the Democratic party,” Ryan continues. “But they have created
political paralysis. I’m fed up with it, and I’m not going to let it intimidate me. I’m going to go forward, put ideas out there,
and get this debate moving one way or the other.” It’s a fight, he says, that he does “not intend to lose.”

Realize you are busy. Soldiers and their trained and valiant companion dogs form a unique bond.Keeping them together after service
seems like the right thing to do. PTSD is often reduced.The bond that is formed in danger and combat deserves to be enjoyed in
relative peace and recovery.
If you can look into this and make an inquiry it would be deeply appreciated.

Also note - Governor Padilla is scheduled to come to CGI next week and to participate in the "island energy
issues" discussion. So might be a second opportunity to raise #2 with him in a room full of folks who would give
moral support.
I know this probably is crazy talk - but do you think we should invite PRPPA head to the cgi island energy
discussion? Would put them in a tight spot to be in that room and face all those folks and not agree to "do"

Two points I would push them on:
1) If all they are going to do is prepare a report, I am not sure that gets us anything. PRPPA is fighting hard
against any change at the moment and a report doesn't move the ball forward. They need to use the report as a
tool to generate a call for action on some concrete steps, like a law requiring PRPPA to meet specific targets
with a timeline for the conversion to renewables. They talk about some pretty specific goals but process of

making them happen is critical and its not clear from the memo how that will occur. The key challenge they face
is not figuring out what they need to do but figuring out how to get it done.
2) The Culebra idea is interesting. In the past the previous Governor has called for making Vieques energy
independent. Working on these two islands is something the foundation might want to explore as a joint project
with the Government and PRPPA. Because of WJC's history with Vieques, it also gives us a hook. This would
require a meeting between someone with the Foundation, PRPPA and the Governor. Don't know if they would
agree but would be big if they did and would show the rest of PR that it can be done. PRPPA may have a
lobbyist in DC and it might be easier to make the deal up here than down there where everything is so polarized.

Subject: Visit to Puerto Rico, Next Steps
Dear Mr. Desai:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing on behalf of Mrs. Ingrid M. Vila-Biaggi, Chief of Staff for the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. This email is to follow up on President Clinton's visit to San Juan last July, and to
express our interest on establishing continued cooperation with you on certain issues paramount for the
development of Puerto Rico.
Governor Garcia-Padilla's administration goals on economic development, health and climate change -to
mention just a few- are well aligned with those of the Clinton Foundation and we believe that there are many
spaces of collaboration that can be built from his last visit. I am copying Dr. Efrain O'Neill, who is the Governor's
Senior Advisor on Energy Affairs.
We look forward to hear from you soon so we can begin this dialogue.
Regards,
Elizabeth Sola Oliver
Aide to the Chief of Staff
Office of the Governor - La Fortaleza

Van 1 gas was $109.96, but agreed, a van shouldn't be as much as a Denali! I'll say $100 and hopefully hear

Ok re Vivek and Clay. Clay told me he'd pay registration.
Nap time just ended so will recalculate shortly, as soon as Stew can take her.

Let's do a recalculation deleting Costco. I'll just throw that in. Tony's gas estimate seems high-more than

Clay, but what you did seems ok

A two assumptions:
1 . That we will run draft framework and message by others.
2. That we will put ourselves on timeline to discuss this with her this week.
On draft - My comments below are in text in caps in relevant sections (cut where i agreed to reduce length) -
sorry on iPhone so no track changes or separate document:
Introduction
[AGREE WITH OBSERVATIONS AND AUDIENCE TARGET OF THE INTRODUCTION]
Talking points
NOTE: These are written in HRC’s voice but once agreed upon can be adapted for the communications team,
surrogates, etc.
Q: Are you running for President?
I have not made a final decision. Ultimately though. I am hoping to get to “Yes"
But this is a very personal decision for me, as I IMAGINE IT IS FOR OTHERS weighing something like this.
HAVING WALKED THIS PATH UNSUCCESSFULLY BEFORE, HOW HARD YOU MUST WORK TO EARN
THE TRUST OF AMERICANS WHO [WANT|NEED FILL IN]. THAT'S WHY I WANT to make THIS DECISION
on my own schedule, with as much thought AND INFORMATION as possible to GUIDE ME.
I’ve had a wonderful year and a half since stepping down as Secretary. I launched my Foundation
programs, wrote a book about my TIME as Secretary of State, I gave speeches to organizations and
causes. ONLY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, HAVE I GONE out and fought for THE values I WANT FOR
OUR COUNTRY IN OUR ELECTED LEADERS in the midterms.
[TKTK language based on the outcome of the election]
So the next few months are going to be invaluable as I turn my attention to this decision in earnest. I’m
going to be talking to all kinds of people around the country about how to keep moving this country forward,
about how we can do better. And I’m going to be talking to people who have insight into how a presidential
campaign needs to look in 2015 & 2016 to have the best chance of success. I’m going to LEARN as much
as possible so I can make an informed a decision about what’s best for me and what’s best for our country.
Managing the Message
[AGREE WITH SURROGACY FRAMEWORK]
Transparency
We should view this period as a pre-cursor to what would give way to a larger strategy should she decide to run.
Central to that will be communicating to the press how HRC is approaching this next phase.
[AGREE]
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Our message, put simply, is this:
Page 1145
“HRC is talking to a wide swath of people about all of the issues that will affect the future of this country, how
she can impact that debate, and how a campaign TODAY SHOULD WORK. SHE WANTS TO FIND AND
UNDERSTAND the best, forward-looking ideas. SO SHE WILL cast a wide net. She may not agree with
everyone, and they may not agree with her; but she wants to hear from people.
Execution
After Election Day, we work with a reporter to write about what the coming months will look like. We convey
that while HRC has not decided whether to run, we expand on her public answers by explaining that she
plans to spend time talking to people who have new ideas. Elements of such a story should include:
A sampling of people she will be reaching out to, with a heavy does on new faces and previously
unsupportive faces;
Her reaching out to several key power centers, such as Elizabeth Warren;
THE LIST BELOW WORRIES ME - IT IS CLOSE TO THE SAME LIST YOU COULD HAVE PUT IN 2008
(WHICH YOU FLAG AS IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS FURTHER DOWN IN THIS SECTION). I WOULD
SHORTEN AND/OR CATEGORIZE DIFFERENTLY AND I WOULD CONSIDER INTRODUCING NEW
NAMES - REALIZE THIS IS HARD AS IT ALSO GOES TO WHO YOU WANT PRESS REACHING OUT TO
AS AN AUTHORITATIVE VOICE BUT I WANT TO FLAG THIS AS AN AREA I WOULD WELCOME
DISCUSSION ON OUR CALL
A basic list of those who legitimately have insight into the process and her thinking - including:
Maggie
CDM
John
Huma
Jake
Philippe
Capricia
Minyon
HRC Personal Staff
Similar thought needs to be given to who - if anyone - around WJC & CVC should be named - or if the
point should be conveyed that they are holding their advice close to the vest. Obviously this is not as
much of an issue with CVC, but the extended WJC network remains the most difficult to stay synced up
with; [WE NEED TO TRY WITH "THE CLOSE TO THE VEST" APPROACH YOU OFFER FOR WJC
BECAUSE HE TOO NEEDS A NARRATIVE CHANGE FROM HOW HE IS PERCEIVED TO HAVE
ENGAGED LAST TIME AND WE SHOULD BE SMART ABOUT HOW SHE, HE AND THOSE TALKING
CONVEY THAT BEGINNING NOW]
State clearly and strongly that no personnel decisions have been made of any kind, and any
assumptions of such are only that - assumptions, unfounded at that;
Once the story runs, we determine a natural time and place for HRC to convey her evolution of thought to a
public audience. We will work with the schedule to determine what timing and setting works best.
[AGREE WITH REST]
Conclusion
The goal of the next 8 weeks should be to practice discipline by conveying a simple message to a wide audience
to preserve HRC’s ability to be thoughtful and make decisions on her own terms, with an increasing eye toward
how such a strategy would evolve if/when she “Gets to yes.”

Sub'ecL RELEASE: Senator Clinton Announces Department of Homeland Security Inspector General to
Launch Investigation of Contractor Bonuses at Her Urging
NEW YORK
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
PRESS RELEASE
Home | News | Contact | About | Services | Issues | Now York
For Immediate Release
December 21, 2007
Contact: Press Office
202-224-2243
SENATOR CLINTON ANNOUNCES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
INSPECTOR GENERAL TO LAUNCH INVESTIGATION OF CONTRACTOR BONUSES
AT HER URGING
Washington, DC - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today announced that the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG) has agreed to
examine award fees for DHS contractors. In particular, the DHS IG will investigate
the award fees paid to Chenega Technology Services Corporation and will work with
DHS to collect information on the number and value of contracts DHS awarded
during the 2007 fiscal year that include award fee provisions, and the oversight
mechanisms DHS has to ensure that award fees are awarded in a proper manner.
In addition to calling for the investigation, Senator Clinton secured a measure in the
FY2008 Omnibus Appropriations bill to bar DHS from awarding bonuses to
contractors without regard to performance.
"The American people deserve to know that precious homeland security funds are
being used appropriately. It is critical that the Department of Homeland Security
hold contractors accountable, not reward bad behavior. With high risk areas like
New York fighting for limited homeland security funds, it is beyond the pale that DHS
is awarding bonuses to contractors that they haven't even earned," said Senator
Clinton.
In announcing the investigation, Senator Clinton noted that she had requested a
broader based investigation and expressed serious concern about the inability of the
DHS IG to undertake such an investigation. In a letter to Senator Clinton, the DHS
IG indicated that, "Generally, insufficient record-keeping, extensive staff turnover in
key acquisition roles, and inadequate data systems are common challenges we
encounter in accomplishing our DHS acquisition reviews."
Senator Clinton wrote to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General in
November calling on the IG to expand an investigation of federal contracting
practices to investigate the practice of award fees by DHS, especially when it comes
to no-bid contracts. Senator Clinton's call came following a recent report by the DHS
Inspector General that DHS improperly awarded a $475 million no-bid contract to
Chenega Technology Services Corporation, which according to the report "likely did
not provide the government the best value" and that DHS "did not comply with
federal regulations." According to the IG's office, the agency also provided award
fees to the company as part of its contract.
The following is Senator Clinton's letter to DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner
requesting an investigation:

Dear Mr. Skinner:
I write regarding a disturbing report you issued last month that raises serious
questions about contracting practices at the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). The report - Customs and Border Protection Award and Oversight of Alaska
Native Corporation Contract for Enforcement Equipment Maintenance and Field
Operations Support (OIG-08-10) - details how DHS improperly awarded a $475
million, no-bid contract to Chenega Technology Services Corporation to maintain X-
ray, radiation and other screening machines at U.S. border checkpoints. Your report
concludes the contract "award likely did not provide the government the best value"
and that DHS "did not comply with federal regulations."
Additionally, your staff informs me that award fees were given to Chenega as a part
of its contract with DHS. Given that your report did not focus on award fees to
Chenega, the details of these fees are unclear. However, taken together with your
conclusion that the Department improperly awarded the underlying contract to
Chenega, it is disturbing to hear that DHS has provided an award fee to this
corporation.
This disconnect between performance and award fees appears to be part of a
troubling pattern. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) state clearly that cost-
based award fee contracts are intended to motivate excellent contractor
performance in areas such as quality, timeliness, technical ingenuity, and cost-
effective management. Despite this guidance, during the course of the past several
years there have been a number of reports documenting how award fees are being
doled out by DHS to contractors regardless of performance:
• Evaluation ofTSA's contract for the installation and maintenance of explosive
detection equipment at United States Airports (DHS Inspector General, September
2004) - TSA awarded a contract to Boeing for the installation and maintenance of
explosive detection equipment at airports. TSA paid more than $44 million to Boeing
without any evaluation of Boeing's performance.
• Transportation Security Administration Review of the TSA Passenger and Baggage
Screening Pilot Program (DHS Inspector General, September 2004) - TSA awarded
four pilot program contracts to determine whether private companies could provide
and maintain passenger screening performance at levels equal to or greater than the
TSA screener force. The Inspector General found the award fee determinations
lacked performance criteria, were highly subjective and based primarily on
contractor self-assessments and input from TSA officials.
• Observations on the Department of Homeland Security's Acquisition Organization
and on the Coast Guard's Deepwater Program (GAO-07-453T) (February 8, 2007) -
GAO found that despite documented problems in schedule, performance, cost
control, and contract administration throughout the first year of the Deepwater
contract, the contractor had received a rating of 87 percent, which fell in the "very
good" range and resulted in an award fee of $4 million.
In too many cases, DHS appears to be awarding bonuses despite poor performance,
or worse, without even evaluating work. Failing contractors should be rooted out, not
rewarded. Given your report of what appears to be noncompliant federal contracting
practices on the part of the DHS and a pattern of providing award fees to contractors
without justification, I request that you expand your investigation into the practice of
award fees by the Department, especially when it comes to no-bid contacts.
Specifically, I would ask that your investigation review the following questions:
• Section 3501 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and
Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110-28) states, "The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall require that all contracts of the Department of Homeland
Security that provide award fees link such fees to successful acquisition outcomes
(which outcomes shall be specified in terms of cost, schedule, and performance)."
DHS has engaged in a number of contracts in Fiscal Year 2007. How many of these
contracts included award fees and were these award fees based on successful
acquisition outcomes? What was the total amount of these award fees?
• Did the Department of Homeland Security violate P.L. 110-28 in providing award
fees to contractors Fiscal Year 2007?
• Were award fees given to Chenega Technology Services Corporation justified and
based on successful acquisition outcomes?
• What mechanisms are currently in place at DHS to ensure that award fees are
awarded in a proper manner? Are these mechanisms enforced in providing award
fees for DHS contracts? What can the Department of Homeland Security do to ensure
that award fees are justified and based on successful acquisition outcomes?

Dear John,
I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous Washington weather. I have had a request from some colleagues at Greenpeace as
they are facing facing a very serious situation in India. In a nutshell: an Indian Intelligence Bureau report was "leaked"
alleging Greenpeace India was responsible for a loss of 2-3% of the country's GDP. Since then the Ministry of Home Affairs
has kept up a relentless attack of allegations of irregularities in their registration and has now frozen all their bank accounts,

both foreign and domestic, despite a Delhi High Court ruling there was no basis for doing so. The bottom line is that without
some kind of intervention, they will have to close down by the end of June. This has never happened to a Greenpeace office
in the entire history of the organization.
Kumi Naidoo was hoping to speak with you or to get advice on who might be able to help behind the scenes explaining to
people close to the Prime Minister that their campaigns are about the issues of clean air and clean water and not personal
and their office should not be forced to close because they have a different vision of India's future.
Apparently The Podesta Group has the contract for the Republic of India in the US, but Kumi has no way to reach Tony or
another prinicipal.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.

Karen

All,
Since we're shooting for noon with the focus group guide, I've broken the guide down for review in hopes that it
might make giving quick feedback easier. In particular the facts and thematic statements need attention. We
have nearly double the number of thematic statements we can test and need to cut 7.
Thank you,

7. Dating (GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA)
8. McSame (GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA)
Here's the McCain Positive Statement:
McCain has long been known as a straight talking maverick because he tells people the truth rather than what
will get him elected. He has won the "Taxpayer's Hero Award" three times for his efforts to fight pork barrel
spending and special interests. McCain is a true American hero with decades of foreign policy and military
service in the Vietnam War during which he spent over five years as a Prisoner of War. As president he will
continue General Petreaus' (Puh-TRAY-us) successful strategy in Iraq and will modernize our armed services so
they can better fight Islamic extremism.
These are the McCain facts — we have to be at 10, so if you want to add one, please suggest one to cut:
1 . McCain wants to send more troops to Iraq and has said he's alright with keeping our troops there for the
next 100 years or more.
2. In 2000 John McCain called Reverend Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance." This year he has embraced
Falwell in an attempt to pander to the far-right.
3. John McCain is seventy-one (71) years old and has had cancer twice. If elected, he will be the oldest man
ever to assume the office of the presidency
4. After initially opposing President Bush's tax cuts because he said they were unfair to the middle class, he
now wants to make these tax cuts permanent.
5. In 2006, McCain led the fight to give illegal immigrants citizenship, but now that he is running for president
he won't say if he would vote for his own bill.
6. McCain has 59 lobbyists among his chief fundraisers, more than any other presidential candidate, and his
campaign manager and chairman are both corporate lobbyists.
7. In 2000, McCain opposed overturning Roe v. Wade, but now that he's running for president he says we
should ban all abortions, even in the case of rape and incest.
8. McCain says there will be other wars after Iraq and has suggested we should bomb Iran.
9. McCain insists that the economy is fundamentally strong and that we are not heading toward a recession.
10. McCain has said that he "doesn't really understand economics."
These are the thematic statements about McCain -- we need to cut 7. GQRR has listed the statements in the
order they recommend using them:
1. [GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA] [IRAQ - PRIORITIES] The war in Iraq has already cost us over 1 trillion
dollars, and we're spending another 10 billion dollars every month, money that could be used to create jobs or
provide health care here at home. Yet McCain proposes keeping our troops there for another hundred years.
His policy would cost us trillions more over the coming decades.
2. [GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA] [ENDLESS WAR -BUSH] On Iraq and Iran, McCain is an even bigger hawk
than George Bush. Bush says we will be in Iraq for 50 years. McCain says we will be there for 100 years or
more. Bush has threatened Iran. McCain says there will be more wars in the region and that we may have to
bomb Iran.
3. [GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA] [DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ECONOMY] With a housing market in crisis,
increasing prices, stagnant wages and the first drop in jobs in nearly 5 years, the next President will need to

Page 1157
have a good handle on the economy, but McCain admits that he "doesn't really understand economics" and will
have to read Alan Greenspan's book to learn the ropes.
4. [GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA] [ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS] With a housing market in crisis, increasing
prices, stagnant wages and the first drop in jobs in nearly 5 years the next President needs to understand the
real challenges facing our economy. But, like George Bush, McCain insists that "the fundamentals of our
economy will remain strong" and that we're not headed for a recession.
5. [GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA] [OUT OF TOUCH - WEALTH] McCain defended his opposition to a minimum
wage increase by noting that he had forgone a pay raise in recent years and claiming this had caused a
hardship for his family. But McCain makes over 160,000 dollars a year and is worth up to 30 million dollars.
6. [GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA] [OUTSOURCING AND TRADE] McCain says that American manufacturing
jobs that have moved overseas are (quote) "never coming back" (end quote) but he still thinks globalization is a
(quote) "opportunity" (end quote) for American workers. McCain is a strong proponent of free trade; he
supported free trade with China and NAFTA, which he claims has created millions of jobs.
7. [GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA] [ENERGY] McCain has taken nearly half a million dollars from the oil
industry and his campaign chairman is a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia. He has voted repeatedly to give billions in tax
breaks to oil companies already making record profits. Last year he killed legislation that would have funded 13
billion dollars in investments in renewable energy by eliminating tax breaks and subsidies for Big Oil.
8. [GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA] [HEALTHCARE] On the issue of health care, McCain is indistinguishable
from Bush. McCain supported Bush's veto of a bill to extend health insurance to 10 million kids, and he has
repeatedly voted to cut billions from Medicare. His health care plan, like Bush's, would give insurance
companies more power to deny people coverage or jack up premiums.
9. [GROUP 1 OHIO, 4 NEVADA] [LOBBYISTS] McCain rails against lobbyists on the campaign trail but he has
59 of them raising money for his campaign, far more than any other presidential candidate. His campaign
manager is a former lobbyist for telecom companies - the industry McCain oversees on the Commerce
committee - and his campaign chairman made millions lobbying for Saudi Arabia
10. [GROUP 2 OHIO, 3 NEVADA] [FLIP-FLOPS] McCain says he is a straight talker, but he has changed
many of his positions to run for president. He voted against the Bush tax cuts, but now he supports them. He
said he would never overturn Roe v. Wade, but now he wants eliminate a woman's right to choose. He wrote
legislation to give illegal immigrants citizenship, but now he won't even say if he would vote for his own bill.
WE SUGGEST CUTTING THESE MESSAGES.
1 1 . [BUSH 3RD TERM] McCain would be nothing more than a 3rd Bush term. He has voted with Bush 90
percent of the time overall and 1 00 percent of the time on Iraq. Like Bush, he would keep our troops in Iraq for
decades. McCain supported Bush's veto of the children's health care bill, Bush's plan to privatize social security
Bush's tax cuts for millionaire and big corporations.
12. [SECURITY] McCain says he would follow Osama bin Laden to the Gates of Hell, but when asked how he
plans to capture bin Laden, he dodges the question. McCain still insists that Iraq is the central front in the war
on terror. His plan to keep troops in Iraq for 100 more years will keep our military stretched too thin to fight al
Qaeda and other terrorists in Afghanistan or elsewhere.
13. [OUT OF TOUCH - NO WEALTH] McCain is out of touch with American families. He opposed increasing
the minimum wage from 5 to 7 dollars but supports putting seniors' retirement funds at risk by privatizing Social
Security. He wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and big corporations and he even supported
Bush's veto of the Children's health care bill.
14. [TAXES] Most economists support a short-term stimulus plan targeted at the middle class, but instead of
backing measures aimed at helping middle class Americans, McCain's solution is to make Bush's tax cuts for
those making over 200,000 dollars permanent and to cut taxes on big corporations by another 30 percent.

15. [SOCIAL SECURITY] McCain not only supported George Bush's plan to privatize Social Security, he
traveled the country with Bush to try to help sell it. The Bush/McCain plan would slash guaranteed benefits and
risk seniors' retirement funds in the stock market while adding a trillion dollars to our national debt.
16. [ENDLESS WAR - NO BUSH] Not only does McCain wants to send even more troops to Iraq and keep
them there for 100 years or more, he would drag us into other conflicts in the Middle East. He admits that if he
becomes president there will be more wars and he says we may have to bomb Iran.
17. [IRAO - STRAIGHT HIT] McCain said the war in Iraq would be easy and that we would be greeted as
liberators. He has voted with Bush on Iraq 100 percent of the time, proposes sending even more troops to Iraq,
building permanent bases like the ones we have in Korea and Germany and keeping our forces there for 1 00
years or more.

FYI - VA is in a very different position than most states (i.e. budget SURPLUS)... which provides us a unique
opportunity.
Forwarded message
From: Anna Scholl < anna@progressva.org >
For Immediate Release
Contact: Anna Scholl (434) 218-21 1 3 anna@proaressva.org
ProgressVA Criticizes Governor for Disingenuous Budget Claims
$311 Million Projected Surplus Dwarfed by State’s Debts And Outstanding Obligations
Charlottesville, VA - Governor McDonnell today announced Virginia has a budget “surplus” of $31 1 million.
ProgressVA sharply criticized the Governor’s handling of the state budget for failing to fully fund the state’s
obligation to the Virginia Retirement System while also cutting funds from vital public safety and health programs.
“The Governor’s claims to fiscal responsibility are disingenuous at best,” said Anna Scholl, Executive Director of
ProgressVA. “Our debts and obligations far outstrip the projected budget surplus. The Governor has essentially
run up the state’s credit card and now wants a pat on the back for leaving a few dollars in the bank account.”
While Virginia is constitutionally required to have a balanced budget, the burden of that balance has been laid
on the backs of middle-class workers. The Governor’s pension reform legislation has reduced the take-home
pay for thousands of state employees while continuing the to leave the pension funds of teachers and police
officers drastically underfunded. At the same time the state has cut general fund aid to localities, leaving
localities with a choice between slashing police officers, school teachers, and children’s programs from their
budgets or increasing property taxes.
In addition to those cuts, Governor McDonnell has run up the state’s credit card, pushing a $3 billion
transportation bond plan through the General Assembly and putting off millions of dollars in contributions to the
Virginia Retirement System.
“Its time for Governor McDonnell to level with taxpayers about the state’s finances,” said Scholl.

Subject: Clinton Foundation Stories
Hi all,
It’s been a little while since we’ve sent one of these, but given the attacks on the Clinton Foundation as of late, we wanted to
send around some points in hopes that you will join us in defending the good work the Foundation does and will continue to do.
Below are some points that we hope you can hit when talking to reporters, are on air, or even just with friends and people in
your communities. As you’ve probably seen reading the stories in the last couple of weeks, there has been little mention of the
good work the Foundation does, and that it is without a doubt a world-class philanthropy.
Along those lines, we encourage you to visit the Clinton Foundation website to learn more about the work, and have included
some specific links you may be interested in. As you may know, last week President Clinton completed a trip to Haiti to see the
economic progress there, and this week President, Secretary and Chelsea Clinton will convene the 8th Clinton Global Initiative
University in Miami.
Additionally, we’re looking forward to two major events for No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project. On March 9, Secretary
Clinton and Chelsea, together with Melinda Gates, will roll out our progress report in written form as well as in a series of data
visualizations on noceilings.org to show the progress that women and girls have made around the world and the gaps that still
remain since the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, when Secretary Clinton called on the
international community to ensure that “women’s rights are human rights.” This is the culmination of over a year’s collaboration
among the Clinton Foundation, the Gates Foundation, The Economist Intelligence Unit, the WORLD Policy Analysis Center at
UCLA, and Fathom Information Design. On March 10, Secretary Clinton will speak at the United Nations to articulate her
vision to reach full participation for women and girls in the 21 st century.

BHCCF Top-line Talking Points
• The Clinton Foundation is a philanthropy, period . They receive contributions from around the world, because they're
doing groundbreaking, life-changing work around the globe.
• These contributions are important because they are responsible for millions of people getting access to life-saving HIV/
AIDs treatment, more than 40,000 farmers in Malawi, Tanzania, and Rwanda improving their incomes by more than
500 percent; 33,500 tons of greenhouse gas emissions being reduced annually across the U.S.; supporting the Clinton
10/18/2016

Page 1170
Global Initiative whose members have made nearly 3,100 Commitments to Action to improving more than 430 million
lives around the world and so much more. The list goes on.
• Let’s remember why journalists are able to dig through all these records. Because unlike many other similar charities,
the Foundation voluntarily discloses all of its contributors' names, right on the Clinton Foundation website. And it
refuses to take anonymous contributions. No charity is required to do these, but the Clinton Foundation does it, on its
own accord.
• Asa result of that transparency, The Wall Street Journal was able to spend 9 months digging through all of this looking
for signs of conflict and impropriety. Their conclusion? That, and I’m quoting here, “There is no evidence of that with
the Clinton Foundation.” The Washington Post and The Guardian said the same tiring in their stories. It’s a less sexy
conclusion, but you’ll find it buried in these stories.
• Something else you won’t find? Anyone questioning the fact that the Clinton Foundation's work has improved the lives
of millions across the globe. But you don’t hear them saying it either. And it’s important that doesn’t get lost in all of
this, because it’s the most important part.
• It’s a false choice to suggest people can’t support political causes or candidates and also care about philanthropy and
making a difference in the world.
• Without these contributions, it's clear what would have happened - fewer people would have access to affordable HIV/
AIDS medication; fewer people would have access to clean water; fewer economic opportunities would be made
available in developing communities in nations across Africa, Asia, and South; and fewer children in the US would have
access to healthy foods.
• The Clinton Foundation is constantly re-evaluating its practices to ensure it runs as efficiently, effectively, and as
transparently as possible. And it has said it will re-evaluate its contributor practices if Secretary Clinton runs, just as was
done when she became Secretary of State.
• The bottom line: The ability to fund the Foundation is the ability to improve the lives of millions of people across the
world. And while it’s appropriate to raise questions to ensure that money is being used as efficiently as possible to
achieve its mission, it’s just as important to acknowledge that after much scrutiny, and when you cast aside those
whose goal it is to make political hay, that dais is a philanthropy, widely recognized as a successful one, and it does an
enormous amount of good that the people who founded it and work there should be nothing but immensely proud of.
Period.
Additional Points
• Almost all charities depend on outside support whether it's your local non-profit one or a global philanthropy.
• The work of the Clinton Foundation is effective, which is why it has bipartisan support from places like News
Corporation, Chris Ruddy of NewsMax, and counts among its contributors and CGI participants President George H.W.
Bush, Laura Bush, Condi Rice, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Carly Fiorina, and dozens of governors and mayors from
both sides of the aisle.
• Every penny of the money Algeria donated for Haiti went to help Haiti. People forget about the outpouring of support
for those debased by the earthquake and the need to get money and supplies there quickly. The United Nations asked
President Clinton to head Haiti relief and encouraged countries to support the effort. President Bush partnered with
WJC to set up the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund in part because the Clinton Foundation had an expertise in addressing such
challenges efficiently and effectively - as they previously did with the Tsunami is SE Asia.
• People are trying to make this political forget the human toll of HIV/AIDs or earthquakes or that as governments have
fewer resources around the world. That’s exactly where NGO’s need to step into the void to help improve people's
lives. When people call for the donations to be returned, they are dismissing the fact that lives will be affected, even lost.

Subject: Re: Launch Speech Draft
Thanks, Dan
I am impressed. Think it manages to capture her particular
sensibilities about everyone having a role to play while adhering to
our middle class message imperatives.
Love the concept "only path to real and lasting prosperity is
prosperity built by all and shared by all.' Including "built" really
helps to round out the belief of everyone having a
role/responsibility.
Think you all dealt with FDR deftly by comparing Great Depression to
the Great Recession - and the focus on role of women during that era
is an effective but subtle reminder of HRC as first POTUS.
Couple of concepts I thought were missing...
1) an acknowledgement that middle class has done their part and it is
time for the well off to step it up. I agree with Jim that using "it
is your time" - along with appropriate set up language - would help
drive this distinction home.
2) think we could draw out more the benefits of shared prosperity and
examples of what it would look like.
3) . I think the Econ policy discussion doesn't quite match up with the
lift of "shared prosperity built by all" from beginning of speech.
Wonder if you could draw out the theory behind corporate purpose here
more to get at what it would look like if all in America was working
to make America stronger.
4) relatedly, mightvconsider adding notion of how America just doesn't
figure out how to survive in a changing world - we figure out how to
harness that change and benefit from it. That's what we have always
done from the time of the cotton gin to the industrial revolution and
now with the digital age. Embracing that concept may help give the
Econ section more lift.
But, moreover, this is great work. Thank you to Lissa and Favs for
continued above and beyond help. I

The only path to real and lasting prosperity is prosperity built by all and shared by all. As you'll recall, HRC
expressed some reservations about putting too much weight on the middle class language, so we've tried to
explain and integrate that better than before.

Dear Mac,
Really so wonderful to hear from you. As Tony said, so hard to believe 5 decades have passed since Nose. You know, I clearly remember (like
yesterday) when you recited a JFK speech (was it Japan Night or American Night?) at Nose. 1 remember that you held a JFK silver dollar in your
hand while you recited. Brought tears to my eyes then. Good grief, wasn't it just a few years ago?
1 am very proud and happy to read of your successful career, and I could almost have predicted it given your keen intelligence and passion these
many years ago.
Of course, I also remember Keiko. Very well. Please convey my best regards to her when you see her. 1 wonder if you also have kept in touch with
Itachi-San?
Brief update, dear Mac: 1 went to law school for awhile, have Master's Degree in Joumalism/Public Relations, some publications. 1 was a
commercial banker for several years, and then a fed regulator for another several years (US Comptroller of the Currency). Married an Olympian
and world champion gold medalist, who has since passed away. Have one beautiful brilliant son who is a classical pianist. 1 am now enjoying
retirement years (way too much), but ought to be doing something more productive. I'm working in it. :-)
ATTACHED: a few photos of Nose I managed to preserve over the past 50 years. Keiko is in some of them. Perhaps you can share with her. At
the moment, I cannot locate pictures of you, although 1 thought 1 had some.
[I am surprised to read you celebrated Nose anniversary last year because isn't 2015 actually the 50th anniversary? Perhaps we are counting
differently. Not certain.]
Beyond happy to hear from you, dear Mac. Please do stay in touch. Give all from Nose days my best wishes.
Sincere and best regards,
Jan

Last night as I walked though the grounds greeting old friends and new, I noticed
that the stress of organizing this gathering had lifted and the familiar joy was settling
in. (Here's a photo from climb trainer Ruddy's morning walk.)
Convening these change agents each year is the most incredible thing Backbone
Campaign does. What is most moving is that after six years of doing so, the
community of people offering skills, pitching in, returning and bringing new friends
has become just that, a community. Today, we'll be opening the camp with some
remembrances of those who are no longer with us, and a welcome to those joining
the circle.
Today will feature Sweetwater Nannauck of IdleNoMoreWA and then the Canopy
Collective. Sweetwater's history of colonialism and Canopy Collective's Anti-
Oppression/Collective Liberation presentations will start out the week with a
consciousness about where we are, how we got to this place, and an
acknowledgement of the differences as well as what we hold in our common story and aspirations.
Tomorrow, we'll have an incredible nonviolent direct action training with
our Rising Tide friends from around the country. Tomorrow night, the
incredible Jim Diers will share comm unity organizing stories from
people he's worked with around the globe.
Come enjoy and be part of this. You are welcome anytime during the
week. If at all possible, please register to let us know to expect
you. Here's the schedule . And here is a growing collection of
resources from and to augment presentations. Check it out and join
us. And know that whenever you show up, incredible things are
happening.
In gratitude and community,
Bill Moyer

Hey John,
Just heard: Congresswoman Hayworth’s first ad is launching tomorrow!
They're going on air because the analysts all say our race is tighter than ever - POLITICO'S even calling her a “top
candidate.” Both of us know this race is so close, we could win or lose tomorrow.
To fight back, we have to expand our own ad buy by 1 p.m. tomorrow. Every cent you give tonight is going
directly on the air.
I can't let her become Boehner’s newest Tea Party vote. Can you chip in so we can reach every voter in the Hudson
Valley and win? https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/paae/spmrapidresponse
Thanks, gotta run!
- Sean
P.S. Both Hayworth and Karl Rove know that this is a critical moment as well, and they’re bringing in the big guns.
Please give anything you can so we can win.

I agree on the auto bailout. It encapsulates why she is the better choice. Bernie was willing to let the auto
industry collapse, go against the Democratic president elect and, for that matter, let the financial system fail—
which would have brought down main street with it--because it wasn't the perfect piece of legislation matching
his socialist ideal.

Subject: Deadline extended to have your gift matched
Dear John,
I have good news and bad news for you. On Friday we hit the midnight deadline to reach our
$60,000 matching gift goal - but we came up short. Without these funds, we may have to
scale back our efforts to target Senators who are on-the-fence on clean energy
and climate legislation. This was a sorely needed chance to push the legislation forward
and fight back against Big Oil's sleazy tactics.
But I have good news too: our generous matching gift donors have given us one more day to
reach that goal. I've attached Friday's email below so you can see why our early campaigns
are so critical. If you missed this chance on Friday, there's still time to have your gift
matched dollar-for-dollar: Make your gift by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to put us over the top.
OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
Dear John,
The next few hours could be a double win for our fight
to pass clean energy and climate legislation before
this year's pivotal elections.
Time is running out to raise $35,507 to reach
our matching gift goal by midnight TONIGHT. For
only a few more hours, your gift will be matched
dollar for dollar by generous donors.
John, now that the Supreme Court is letting Big Oil
spend unlimited funds to kick our friends out of
Congress, we can't pass up this opportunity to push
clean energy forward NOW, before Big Oil ramps up
its campaign of lies in an attempt to distort the public's
view on clean energy.
Please don't wait a minute longer. Have your gift matched now to help LCV fight
TWICE as hard to pass clean energy and climate legislation before this year's elections!
If we can't meet our goal, LCV may be forced to scale back crucial efforts to
support clean energy and climate legislation in the districts of on-the-fence
Senators - efforts like paid ads, voter education and grassroots lobbying that have
proven to cement wavering votes in the past.
Without your support, LCV will have to scale back these key initiatives in 2010:
• Creating a powerful media presence on television, radio, and the
internet. Use these outlets to deliver research-driven messages proven to
show the public why clean energy is key to job growth.
• Driving massive public education campaigns in the districts that
matter - including door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, and targeted mail.
• Telling constituents exactly where their Senators stand on clean
energy - and why passing clean energy is key to creating new jobs and
reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
• Bolstering environmental support at the state level - supporting pro-
conservation governors and building pro-conservation majorities in state
houses.
If we can count on you to help us take advantage of this critical matching opportunity,
LCV has the savvy, the passion, and the grassroots muscle to use each dollar
more efficiently and effectively than Big Oil.
Unless we raise $35,507 by
midnight, we'll have to
scale back our fight against
Big Oil at the ballot box this
fall.
Our pro-environment
champions are counting on us
to come through in these last
critical hours - please don't
wait!
Have vour gift MATCHED by
midnight TONIGHT!
/p.

Don't wait. Taking full advantage of this rare opportunity is critical to our success - and to
the planet's future.

Subject: Fred Baron
1) Here is the original request from Lisa, Fred's wife
Please please call them. I need tthem to ask people on the board why fred can't have this drug. This dmg has been tested with freds tumor in a testube and
is efficaous. The dmg is in the hospital that fred is in AND this dmg is being used in clinical trials on myloma (but fred doesn't qualify). It's bullshit. If I
am unable to get dmg I will take out full pg add in boston globe to ceo and board members. Fred is running out of time. He's so sick and needs this dmg.
Thanks so much
2) The Background
From a Friend Describing the problem
Fred Baron of Dallas, good friend, is in Mayo now with Multiple Myeloma(sp?). There is a drug-Tysabri- made by Biogene that is given for multiple
sclerosis, but is now in clinical trials for use on Multiple Myeloma. Fred's drs at mayo think this dmg is his only chance, but Bogene won't approve for
fred because he is too sick and if it fails him, it could skew the outcome of the trials(this told to me by his wife). According to his wife, sen. Kerry called
andy von eschenbach on friday, andy called biogene, and got this reply from the company. Fred needs a compassionate use release from the company,
whose ceo is James Mullin ph: 617-679-2000. 1 would like to call him on monday to argue that they could release this dmg for mayo drs to administer to
fred, and have the FDA "carve" it out of being factored in the clinical trials. So, early monday I need Von eshenbach ph #, and arrange a call later with
mr. Mullin. See what info you can get me on him, and who represents them in dc. Thanks.
From his Dr. Lust. Fred's Doctor
We are requesting approval from Biogen/Idec to obtain compassionate use of Tysabri (natalizumab) for a patient we have that has end-stage myeloma
and has exhausted all other treatment options. We have discussed the potential risks including the development of PML and the patient wishes to
proceed with treatment. The Mayo Clinic has been approved to dispense this medication and our neurologists have been using it for the approved
indication, multiple sclerosis. We also have an IRB approved clinical trial with this agent for myeloma through Biogen Idee entitled “A Phase 1/2, Two
Arm Dose Finding Study of Natalizumab for the Treatment of Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma. Our patient does not meet the
eligibility criteria for this trial and the treating physicians would like to treat him with Tysabri off study. If there are any additional questions please
contact me at 507-250-3606 (cell phone).
From Harkin
On Sunday
I got through to Mullen. He had already had extensive conversations with Senator Kerry and Lance Armstrong and had heard from President Clinton,
too. The answer he gave in every case was “no. 1 believe that I understood it correctly that Kerry had organized a conference call with Mullen and FDA
Commissioner Von Eschenbach. I hear that Von Eschenbach said it was fine with him for the drug to be used in Fred’s case. However, Biogen believes
that Von E does not have that authority given the strict FDA conditions on the use of the drug. (FDA had withdrawn the drug from the market because
of its harmful effects. It’s the only drug that has ever been reapproved - but its reapproval was with very strict limitations.). I’m having people look
into FDA’s authorities in this area. Mike, it would be great if Bill Schultz could, too. Also, I’m told that Mayo is what’s called an FDA “touch approved
program” - which means that it’s one of the institutions in the country authorized to administer Tysabri. Might be worth asking Schultz if there are
authorities there that could allow Mayo to go ahead even without Biogen or FDA OK. We’re exploring that, too.
On Mundav after the call with the FDA
I just had a disappointing call with Dr. Von Eschenbach. FDA had a phone conference with the medical and science officers from Biogen. FDA told them
there would be no prejudice to the clinical trial if this drug were used for Fred. They were appreciative but gave no indication they would change their
position, which is that a corporate decision has been made they would not go outside the clinical trial. I am really upset about this, personally, since FDA
has been great to help. I have not had the time today to reach out to some on the board of Biogen, but hope to do so yet today. I felt last night, after
talking with Andy von Eshenbach, that with clearance from FDA, the company would be ok.

6) On The Canadian Option
Dr. Trudel spoke with Dr. Lust about 30 minutes ago. 1 suggest you connect with him and hear his point of view of the conversation.
From what Dr. Trudel has told me:
- Dr. Lust still has confidence in the US as an option
- In Canada, this procedure would be viewed as experimental
- There would be some need to engage with the hospital executives to secure permission and the appropriate process for paying for
the drug (which is different in the socialized medical system), but my sense is that this would ultimately be manageable
- There is the potential that permission from the manufacturer would be required given the use-case of the drug is different than it's
intention, but she does not know for sure if this would be required.
Dr. Lust has her contact information. She is waiting in the wings, if put into action she will instruct the pharmacy to do the
appropriate investigation and put the wheels in motion to make it happen.
She also told me that Princess Margaret is the likely the only institution in the country capable of doing this type of advanced work
in the Myeloma field.

I will add:Hospitals in Canada are chronically underfunded, and a donation may grease the wheels. I would consider this and be up

Hi John - It was great to see you for dinner on Tuesday. Glad you're enjoying what you're doing. Steve and I spoke
about diverse candidates who could serve in the administration, reviewed the lists from 2009, and came up with three
top-level candidates. I or Steve or both of us have worked with each of them and can personally vouch for them.
Their resumes are attached.
JULIE MARTINEZ ORTEGA - Julie has a J.D. and a Ph.D. in Social Policy. Ironically enough, her dissertation was
on health insurance enrollment patterns of Mexican American children. She currently serves as a Senior Advisor to the
Democracy Alliance's Latino Engagement Fund, and I have frequently called on her for advice on the work I'm doing
at the Foundation. She also works with Steve in PowerPAC's DC office (she and Steve are college friends). HHS
would probably be the best fit for her. Or Labor, as Julie has extensive experience doing research for the labor
movement.
ROSA MARIA CASTANEDA - Rosa currently works at the Pew Charitable Trust as Manager of Government
Performance. She led Pew's 3-year strategic planning effort looking at their work in state budget and economic
policy, youth workforce, and employment. She has a unique mix of fiscal, economic, and social policy. HHS or the
Domestic Policy Counsel would be good fits for her.
SMEETA RAMARATHNAM - Smeeta is South Asian, and we may have discussed her before as she was being
considered for one of the SEC Commissioner openings. She is currently the Chief of Staff to Commissioner Aguilar
and has worked at the SEC for almost nine years now (previously, she worked for Commissioner Campos). Prior to
going to the SEC, Smeeta was a securities lawyer at Foley and Lardner. We think she'd make an excellent Assistant
Secretary in Treasury.
We've got a few more feelers out and will let you know what we come up with. So glad you're trying to move on
these diversity issues!
Best,
Susan

Sanders Blames Clinton for Decline of Middle Class in Trade-
Battered Michigan
March 4, 2016
Contact: Michael Briggs (8021 233-8653
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Bernie Sanders on Friday said “disastrous” trade deals backed
by Hillary Clinton decimated Michigan manufacturing, threw Michigan workers out of
decent-paying jobs and are “one of the reasons that the middle class in the country is
disappearing.”
“If the people of Michigan want to make a decision about which candidate stood with
workers against corporate America and against these disastrous trade agreements, that
candidate is Bernie Sanders,” he said to cheers from 2,125 supporters here at the
Streeters Center.
Starting with the job-killing North American Free Trade Agreement, Clinton supported
trade deals when she was secretary of state, a U.S. senator and first lady.
Sanders joined picket lines to protest NAFTA and other trade deals “crafted by “the big-
money interests and corporations,” Sanders said.
“Hillary Clinton was on the other side of many of these trade agreements,” Sanders added.
Not only was Clinton on the wrong side of a series of business-backed trade deals, she
also has only grudgingly questioned the biggest trade deal of all time. Until an election-
eve conversion, she had backed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed 12-nation
Pacific Rim trade deal which would be the biggest in history.
Meanwhile, Sanders' campaign responded to Clinton's assertion in Detroit that she has a
plan to restore manufacturing jobs. “The American people are sick and tired of
establishment politicians who promise to create manufacturing jobs during campaign
season but support trade policies that make it easier to outsource these jobs the day after
they get elected,” Sanders said in a prepared statement.
Meanwhile, Sanders’ campaign on Friday distributed a video showing Clinton in India in
2012 discussing what she said were “pluses and minuses” to outsourcing U.S. jobs.

Subject: [big campaign] McCain Selects Anti-Choice Sarah Palin as Running Mate
Picture (Metafile) <No%20AttachName>
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 29, 2008
McCain Selects Anti-Choice Sarah Palin as Running Mate
Selection of anti-choice Palin shows just how extreme McCain presidency will be
Washington, D.C. - Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said that Sen. John McCain’s
selection today of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate is further evidence that a
McCain presidency will be just another four years of the same old Bush-style anti-choice policies. Just like
McCain, Palin opposes a woman’s right to choose. Palin has also stated her opposition to abortion even in
cases of rape or incest.
“John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate proves just how rigid and extreme his administration
would be when it comes to a woman’s right to choose,” Keenan said. “For 25 years, McCain has opposed a
woman’s right to choose, and we know that he will continue to push anti-choice policies in the White House.
McCain’s pick of anti-choice Sarah Palin is further evidence that his White House will be just another four years
of Bush-style policies. Any remaining doubts about McCain’s extreme anti-choice position should be put to rest
when voters learn about the combined anti-choice records of Sarah Palin and John McCain.”
Palin, a member of the anti-choice group Feminists for Life, said during her campaign for governor that she is
opposed to abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. [Juneau Empire, “Abortion Draws Clear Divide in State
Races,” accessed 8/29/08 and Anchorage Daily News, “Governor’s Race: Top contenders meet one last time to
debate,” 11/03/06.]
“Americans are tired of the kind of divisive anti-choice policies that Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have pledged to
continue to support. The contrast between pro-choice Sen. Obama and anti-choice Sen. McCain is clear. Voters
are looking for a leader who respects women’s freedom and privacy. Barack Obama is that leader.”
Sen. McCain’s selection of Palin as his vice-presidential running mate is especially troublesome for the unique
audience of women voters NARAL Pro-Choice America is targeting: Independent and Republican pro-choice
women in suburban and exurban swing districts. These women play a pivotal role in the presidential election.
Recent polling confirms how, once these voters know McCain’s extreme opposition to a woman’s right to choose
and family planning, they will switch parties to support Sen. Barack Obama.
NARAL Pro-Choice America, which tracks all choice-related votes in Congress and ranks all 50 states on the
status of women’s reproductive rights, classifies Sarah Palin as anti-choice.

Dear John,
Are you mad that George W. Bush has pursued the failed
energy policies of the past for eight long years? Are you
mad that John McCain continues to support Bush's tax
breaks for Big Oil? Are you mad that corporate polluters
work tirelessly to block clean energy legislation?
If so, then it's time for a change and it's time to take
action.
Please join the League of Conservation Voters and John
Slattery of TV's smash hit Mad Men for LCV's Obama
Canvass Kickoff event in Northern Virginia on October
Uth!
Click here to volunteer
John Slattery, who in addition to starring in the Emmy
winning Mad Men on AMC has also appeared on Will &
Grace, Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives, will
be joining LCV volunteers and supporters for a door-to-
door canvass for Obama.
Election Day is only 28 days away, which means we have only 28 days to engage critical
swing voters in conversation about Obama's plan to secure a clean energy future that
strengthens the economy and curbs global warming pollution.

Virginia has emerged as one of the most important battleground states. In 2006, Jim Webb
defeated Dirty Dozen member George Alien by only 9,000 votes - and the race for Virginia's
13 electoral votes will be just as close this year. That means every door we knock on and
every voter we engage can make the difference on Election Day.
Join John Slattery, the League of Conservation Voters and other volunteers on Saturday,
October 11th, to help bring about the change we need in this country.

Subject: FOR APPROVAL: Tweet on Trump Mocking Disabled Reporter
Hi John-
Our political team has been getting incoming from disability groups asking for the campaign to hit Trump for mocking the NYT reporter with
disabilities. Reynolds and Schake think it'd be a good one for you to Tweet. Here's what they propose:
Donald Trump, Republican frontrunner, has taken to mocking people with disabilities. A new low for both him and the party.
I voiced concern that this Tweet doesn't acknowledge that we're a few days late to the story here, but Reynolds thinks that since it happened
over Thanksgiving it’s ok for this to be late.
HEADS UP: I'm working on a blog post and Tweet storm about the Paris talks to send out from YOU on Monday.
These would accompany the HRC oped from KLC that is being pitched online outlets. Will send to you for
approval tonight or tomorrow morning once the digital and policy folks can take a look at it.
Thanks much,
Milia

Subject: 1-395 Cosntruction Note -- A Five Week Look-ahead
Dear colleagues,
As we approach the end of the semester, I imagine some of you are wondering how the construction project might
affect students during the examination period. I have been working with the BBC Construction team to minimize disruptions
during the examination period. We have come up with a work-schedule that reduces noise and vibration between December
9 and December 20 but allows the construction team to continue working on the utility replacement. The following is a
description of what we can expect from the construction team between now and the end of the year as they continue utility
work along 2 nd Street. Work will also be intensifying along Massachusetts Avenue, but except for traffic concerns, that will
not affect us.
During the week of November 24, BBC will be working on three utilities during the day along 2 nd Street. They will
be completing the water lines and making the final connections. There will be no more water shutoffs at Gewirz and no night
work.
Installation of electrical lines will reach F Street and a new manhole will be installed near G Street. There will be some
noise and vibration from earth compactors as the construction team backfills the trenches. The noise and vibration should be
minimal and should not be louder than that which we heard last week.
In an effort to minimize noise during final examinations, Washington Gas will begin saw cutting trench lines in 2 nd
Street this week as a prelude to excavating the street for the new gas lines.
During the week of December 1, work on the water lines will be completed. Work on the electrical lines will
continue along 2 nd Street going north from F Street towards Massachusetts Avenue. It will take about three weeks to
complete the electrical work. Backfilling and compacting will continue this week. Work on 2 nd Street will occur only in the
daytime.
The concrete surface of 2 nd Street will be demolished to open the trenches for the gas lines. Washington Gas will be
pulling the concrete up from the street surface rather than hoe-ramming it. Gas lines are shallower than the other utility lines
so they will not be lowering deep supports into the trench. As such, we expect that the noise accompanying these activities
will not be too disruptive. Removing the concrete will be completed by the end of the week.
A great deal of work will be occurring at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and 2 nd Street so you can expect some
serious traffic disruptions.
During the weeks of December 8 and 15, final examinations will occur. I have had a series of conversations with
the utility companies and BBC and we believe that the only noise we will hear will come from the ground compactor as work
on gas lines and electrical lines continue. I have stood in the classrooms on the second floor and believe that the sounds
coming from the compactor will actually be drowned out by the sounds from our own fan coil units. Nonetheless, we will
have some sound-baffling insulation ready to install over the windows if that becomes necessary. The Registrar will provide
ear-plugs in each room during finals. I doubt that the students will need them but we will have some available just in case.
Work along 2 nd Street during this period will occur only in the daytime.
Sometime after December 20, probably as late as January 1, the gas company will begin to install a gas-line that
runs down the Tower Green. You can now see the path staked out on the Green. This will involve removing some pavers on
the south sidewalk in front of the Gewirz exit, excavating beneath the Tower Green, and then laying the new gas pipeline.
This new line will provide redundant service to Gewirz, thereby eliminating the possibility of long-term gas shut-offs in the
future. We may need to create a small temporary sidewalk in front of Gewirz so that residents will be able to cross over the
excavated ditch. The work in the Tower Green is expected to take approximately two to three weeks depending on the
weather.

The construction team has been given sub-surface drawings of our property to ensure that none of our services are
disrupted. Reconstruction of the Tower Green, however, will not be completed until the spring planting season.
Sometime after January 1 , work will begin on the highway itself. The work will include dismantling the retaining
walls along the highway, lowering piles into the earth, and setting lagging boards to hold back the earth when the current
retaining walls come down and the platform foundations are set. I will provide more information about that as we get closer
to the date.
A variation of this email will be sent to the students after Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a joyful holiday.

I wanted to alert you all to what I have heard indirectly are requests from CHAI for another Haiti grant of $1M. We currently
don't have the funds to grant them. We have enough to cover the work that we need to finish in 2012. BC would like additional
money (that we would need raise) - approximately 500K to announce additional small grants in 2012. So there is no money for
CHAI unless we want to raise an additional $1.5M for Haiti if you assume we want the additional 500K for 2012 CF grants for
education, capacity building, agriculture and investment project support, our focus areas. I know there is a CHAI board call
tomorrow so wanted to flag it for you and I will also mention to BC shortly when I see him - not to make any commitment and to
downplay expectations until we have our year end meeting and decide on whether we will stay status quo on Haiti (which we can
cover within our remaining CF Haiti Fund money) or go for the additional grant money up to 500K that BC wants (which we would
have to raise). I am finalizing a haiti strategy memo (already have 2 budget options) to help inform our decision at the cf year-
end meeting.

Bush wants to allow offshore drilling for oil
AP foreign, Tuesday June 17
2008 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush plans a renewed push to get Congress
to end a long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling.
With oil prices soaring and motorists paying $4 a gallon for gasoline,
political pressures have been growing for more domestic oil and gas
production.
White House press secretary Dana Perino tells The Associated Press that
Bush believes Congress shouldn't waste any more time. She says that on
Wednesday the president will urge lawmakers to lift the ban on offshore
drilling.
Congressional Democrats have opposed lifting those prohibitions. The ban
has been in effect for more than 80 percent of federal Outer Continental
Shelf waters for more than a quarter-century and includes both the East and
West coasts.

Subject: Puerto Rico Vote
It has been reported to me the GOP has decided that to win Florida and offset losses in the So FL
Cuban community they have decided to target the Puerto Rican vote in Orlando.
The plan was developed by Ricky Rosello’s campaign manager, who is GOP (which explains the
Carson photo op) and Puerto Rico St Sen Jennifer Gonzalez, who is a statehooder running to
replace current resident commissioner Pierluisi, who is also GOP and supports Bush.
The plan is based on the following facts/assumptions:
1) That Obama got 83% of the Puerto Rican vote in Florida and that number isn’t sustainable in
2016
2) The size of the Puerto Rican vote in Florida has doubled since 2012 because of the financial
crisis on the island
3) That there are more Republican elected Puerto Ricans in central Florida than Democrats (true)
4) That 75% of the Puerto Ricans in central Florida support statehood (have we polled this?)
5) That the Commonwealth Party is in disarray on the island (true) and that the Statehood party will
win the 2016 elections there by a landslide
The plan has several parts:
1) Have every GOP Presidential candidate endorse statehood (Bush, Rubio, Carson have already
done so)
2) While our position on status is neutral, paint HRC as pro-Commonwealth using Tony Podesta’s
works for the Commonwealth Governor and Cong. Nydia Velasquez’ support of HRC as the links
(they are already doing this)
3) Have the GOP in Congress support Chapter 9 for Puerto Rico (which would treat Puerto Rico
like a state) while the Obama administration is pushing a “super chapter 9” position which would
treat Puerto Rico as a special case, which apparently is the Commonwealth position

Page 1230
4) Paint the Obama administration as pro-commonwealth using the fact that Anita Dunn works for
the Commonwealth Governor
5) Turn the election in Central Florida into a Statehood vs Commonwealth referendum.
This was passed to me and while I cant verify any of this, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was true. It
sounds like a plan created on the island because they are obsessed with the statehood versus
commonwealth fight and only see the world in those terms.
Key issue is can they turn Orlando into the next battleground for that fight? Only polling will tell us
that.
There are several bills pending in Congress dealing with the Puerto Rico debt issue. Sen Hatch
apparently wants it dealt with before the Christmas break but the administration isn’t engaged on the
issue.
I don’t have a recommendation about anything going on in Congress but I do think if this is resolved
now as opposed to fighting it out during a general election we would probably be better off.

NEW SURVEY FINDS AMERICANS SKEPTICAL THAT
FCC REGULATION OF THE INTERNET WILL BE
HELPFUL; FAVOR MORE DISCLOSURE
WAS FI I N GTO N , D . C . — The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) today released the results of a new
survey finding that most Americans are unfamiliar with the term “net neutrality,” want greater
disclosure of the details of the FCC’s proposal to regulate the Internet, and think that the government
regulating the Internet like a public utility will not be helpful.
The nationwide survey, by Hart Research Associates, was conducted from February 13 to 15, 2015
on behalf of PPI. The survey was conducted by telephone (both landline and cell phone) among a
cross section of 800 adults age 18 and over. It found:
• Three out of four (75%) Americans are unfamiliar with the term “net neutrality” and what it
refers to.
• 73% of Americans want greater disclosure of the details of the FCC’s proposal to regulate the
Internet.
• Nearly eight in ten (79%) Americans favor public disclosure of the exact wording and details of
the FCC’s proposal to regulate the Internet before the FCC votes on it.
• Only one in three Americans thinks that regulating the Internet like telephone service will be
helpful.
“The public neither understands nor supports the FCC voting on net neutrality rules without greater
disclosure of the exact wording and the details of the proposal,” said Peter Hart, Founder of
Hart Research Associates. “Net neutrality is near net zero understanding: just one in four
Americans knows what the term refers to, and just one in 10 Americans has positive feelings about it.
In addition, a majority of Americans think ‘the government should not take a stronger and more active
role in overseeing and regulating the Internet.’”
“These findings suggest that the FCC’s bid to impose outdated telephone regulations on the Internet
is driven more by professional activists than by the public, which seems instinctively to resist the
idea,” said Will Marshall, PPI President. “That’s why Congress should take a closer look at what
the FCC is up to and make sure these issues get a thorough public airing.”
The survey’s margin of error is ±3.46 percentage points for 800 adults at the 95% confidence level.
Sample tolerances for subgroups are larger. This is the first of several public opinion surveys PPI
plans to release on issues related to regulation of the Internet and telecommunications law.

One thing missing is that there's a sense of the "underlying problems". Any way
we can adjust it for that so that we give a nod to ACA issues. (Also some will
interpret that as mismanagement or structural issues. All of which is also good).
Shows she gets that there's a lot that needs to be done.

Our goal with the tweet is to be empathetic to Puerto Ricans, make clear we
are in this together b/c their health and well-being is ours and b/c many
Americans hold PR municipal bonds as part of their retirement portfolios. We
don't want to suggest a bailout, but we do want to suggest that we should

[big campaign] The Housing Crisis - WHEN YOU ARE PRE SIDENT - LIKE IN BASEBALL - THERE
ARE NO DO OVERS
WHEN YOU ARE PRESIDENT - LIKE IN BASEBALL - THERE ARE NO DO OVERS
McCain has spent 26 years championing reckless deregulation, telling homeowners that they are on their own, and raking in
contributions from the banking industry and their lobbyists — you don't get a do over.
There is also no crying in mortgage backed securities...
McCain Has Spent 26 Years, Including This Campaign, Championing Reckless Deregulation
■ "I don't think anyone who wants to increase the burden of government regulation and higher taxes has any real
understanding of economics and the economy and what is needed in order to ensure the future of this country." Town
Hall 4/23/08
■ "I mean the economic conditions when President Reagan came into power were incredible and we went about with
one common goal and that was to fix our economy and based on conservative fiscal principles, less taxes, less
regulation, smaller government." Town Hall 3/3/08
McCain Told Homeowners They Are On Their Own And To Get A Second Job Or Skip A Vacation To Pay For Their
Homes
■ "I have always been committed to the principle that it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who
act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers." Housing Speech , 3/25/08
■ "There are 80 million family homes in America and those homeowners are now facing the reality that the bubble has
burst and prices go down as well as up. Of those 80 million homeowners, only 55 million have a mortgage at all, and
51 million are doing what is necessary — working a second job, skipping a vacation, and managing their budgets — to
make their payments on time." Town Hall 3/25/08
McCain Is Raking In Contributions From The Banking Industry And Their Lobbyists
■ McCain Has Taken Over $2.1 Million From The Banking And Mortgage Industry. McCain has taken $2,120,794 in
campaign contributions from the banicing and mortgage lending industry, according to a Campaign Money Watch
analysis of data obtained from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. This total reflects donations of $200 and
above from individuals and PACs received by his campaign committees and leadership PAC through May 31, 2008.
[Center for Responsive Politics via Campaign Money Watch]
■ McCain Has Taken $1 .57 Million From The Banking And Mortgage Industry In 2008 Election Cycle Alone. McCain
has taken $1.57 million in campaign contributions from the banking and mortgage lending industry in the 2008 election
cycle alone, nearly three times what he received from 1989 to 2006, according to a Campaign Money Watch analysis
of data obtained from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. [Center for Responsive Politics via Campaign
Money Watch]
You Don't Get To Have A Do Over And Now Pretend That You Care - And Then Change Your "Plan" Within 24
Hours
McCain Changes Homeowner Plan - "Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made an overnight change in the homeowner bailout he
proposed at Tuesday's presidential debate, making it more generous to financial institutions and more costly for taxpayers."

Subject: Request to work as a volunteer at your team for Secretary Clinton’s campaign
Mr Podesta,
My name is Stelios Georgoulas. I am very honored to be writing this letter to you, with which I would like to
express my passion and desire to support you as a volunteer in your role as Chairman of Secretary Clinton’s
campaign.
I am a 36-year-old Eye Surgeon in London UK with a PhD from University College London and a Masters of
Science in Management, Organisations and Governance (with Distinction) from the London School of
Economics.
I have been trying to find your email address or your office fax numbers in order to contact you but I have had no
luck. I sent you a few weeks ago an email at your Georgetown University account and a letter to Hillary for
America Offices in Brooklyn, which I am not sure if you have received.
I trust that I can contribute significantly to your work. I am a passionate individual, and am willing to work very
hard both individually and as part of a team to support you. In addition to my mixed medical and management
background, I possess deep insight into European politics, which will be important to you since the ISIS,
immigration and financial crises are key topics in the presidential debate. I also have significant work experience
with an advanced public healthcare system, the UK National Healthcare System, which displays commonalities
with your new, improved and more democratic US Healthcare system.
My dream is to work in Greek politics in the future and make my imprint in Greece, by giving hope and a better
future to my people. I believe that by working close to you I will have the unique opportunity to watch you in
action, to observe your thought and decision-making processes, and how you lead and inspire others.
I would be deeply honored if you could give me the opportunity to send you my CV and visit you in New York in
order to discuss it further.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards,
Dr Stylianos (Stelios) Georgoulas MBBS, MSc, PhD, FEBO

John —
Before you go to bed tonight, do me a favor and read Barack's note.
We've always known this election was going to be even tougher than the last one. All across the country,
supporters like you have stepped up to give your time and energy to help move this country forward. We
can't let that hard work be undone by our opponents' unlimited spending on negative TV ads.
If we win, it will because of what you do today, and for the next 77 days. Please donate $3 or more now:
https://donate.barackobama.com/77-Days
Thanks for everything you do for Barack and this campaign.
Michelle
P.S. — Make a donation of $3 or whatever you can before midnight tonight and you and a guest will be
automatically entered to meet Barack and me at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. We'll cover
your flight and hotel expenses, and, for today only, each entry counts as two chances to win.

Friend —
I just got back from Iowa, where we are being outspent 2 to 1 on the air. Voters there mentioned it to me
more than once.
We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us.
What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing
— talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.
We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months
of being significantly outraised, it couldn't be more urgent.
Will you make a donation today?

If we win this election, it will be because of what you did.
I don't get to tell you enough how grateful I am.
Thank you,

P.S. — In a few weeks, I'il accept our party's nomination for president onstage in Charlotte, North Carolina. I
wouldn't be there without you. Any donation you make today automatically enters you and a guest for a
chance to join me and Michelle as VIP guests of the convention. Hope to see you there.

The Best Way to Vilify Clinton? G.O.P. Spends Heavily to Test It
By ASHLEY PARKER and AMY CHOZICK
JULY 11, 2015
ORLANDO, Fla. — Inside an office park here, about a dozen women gathered to watch a 30-second
television spot that opened with Hillary Rodham Clinton looking well-coiffed and aristocratic, toasting
champagne with her tuxedoed husband, the former president, against a golden-hued backdrop.
The ad then cut to Mrs. Clinton describing being “dead broke” when she and her husband left the White
House, before a narrator intoned that Mrs. Clinton makes more money in a single speech, about $300,000,
than an average family earns in five years.
The message hit a nerve. “She’s out of touch,” said one of the women, who works as a laundry attendant.
“Her reality is just so different than mine,” murmured another, as operatives from American Crossroads, a
Republican “super PAC,” watched closely from behind a one-way mirror.
In rooms like this one around the country, an expensive and sophisticated effort is underway to test and
refine the most potent lines of attack against Mrs. Clinton, and, ultimately, to persuade Americans that she
does not deserve their votes. While the general election is 16 months away, Republican groups are eager
to begin building a powerful case against the woman they believe will be the Democratic nominee, and to
infuse the public consciousness with those messages.
Shaping a Campaign Against Hillary Clinton
American Crossroads, a Republican “super PAC,” conducted two four-hour focus groups in Florida to test
a series of attack ads against Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The effort could ultimately cost several hundred million dollars, given the variety and volume of political
organizations involved.
The typical voter has not necessarily fully tuned in to election coverage or followed the intricacies of Mrs.
Clinton’s use of a private email account or foreign donations to her family’s foundation. But Republicans
are acutely aware that early attacks labeling Mitt Romney as elitist were impossible for him to shake in
2012, and they view these next several months as critical in laying the groundwork to taint, and ultimately
defeat, Mrs. Clinton.
That is why, on a rainy night here, Crossroads, which was founded by the Republican strategist Karl Rove,
gathered about 50 voters representing groups that it believes can be persuaded to vote against Mrs.
Clinton — an all-white mix of young men, low-income adults, married mothers and politically moderate
women.
One problem in developing negative messages about Mrs. Clinton, Republican strategists have found, is
that she and her husband have survived so many controversies by dismissing them as partisan attacks. So
the Republican organizations are seeking to develop lines of attack that resonate more deeply or raise
unsettling questions about Mrs. Clinton’s character.
They showed the voters, who received $100, sandwiches and soft drinks for their time, more than a dozen
30-second ads. (Crossroads allowed a reporter to observe the focus groups under the condition that the
participants’ names be withheld.)
The ads highlighted Mrs. Clinton’s deleting of emails from her private account, tried to tie her to President
Obama, portrayed her as distant from middle-class Americans and sought to persuade women that they do
not need to support her because of her gender.
But many, essentially, struck the same theme, depicting Mrs. Clinton as untrustworthy, an image that even
Democrats supporting the Clinton campaign acknowledge is a weakness. About 57 percent of Americans
do not believe Mrs. Clinton is honest and trustworthy, according to a CNN poll released June 2.

An ad shown to a focus group contests Mrs. Clinton’s comments that she and her husband were “dead
broke” when they left the White House.
“She’s got an open wound, and part of our job is to pour salt in it,” said Glen Bolger, a co-founder of Public
Opinion Strategies, the Republican polling firm that conducted the focus groups.
Mrs. Clinton’s allies point to relatively low trust numbers for Mr. Clinton in the 1992 and 1996 elections and
his ability to win voters despite his personal failings.
An ad titled “Shadow,” which ranked among the most effective ads that Crossroads tested in Orlando,
argued that scandal trailed Mrs. Clinton like a menacing shadow. “Whitewater, Travelgate and Filegate,” a
narrator began, referring to scandals from decades ago, including one over a real estate deal. Then the
narrator moved on to more recent controversies, including her deleted emails, the foreign donations to her
family foundation and the four Americans killed in the 2012 attacks on the United States compound in
Benghazi, Libya.
“There’s a sense of distrust, a sense of unease about her authenticity and her candor, that isn’t hard to
stimulate,” said Steven Law, the president of Crossroads.
In modern campaigns, given the fragmented way media is consumed, television ads are important but not
always enough to create a narrative, especially over a long period.
Crossroads plans to use a kaleidoscopic approach for its anti-Clinton campaign. In order to target
particular voters with tailored messages, the campaign will feature tools including television and radio

spots, digital ads on mobile devices, and pre-roll, the commercials that play before videos online.
Crossroads is eager to establish itself as the leading attack dog against Mrs. Clinton, but it is a crowded
field, especially as other super PACs are emerging as bigger players in the Republican money world.
Right to Rise, a super PAC supporting former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, recently held its own briefing for
Republican groups to highlight data it gathered from its own focus groups and polling of women,
information that can be used in attacks against Mrs. Clinton. It stressed that Mrs. Clinton’s “dead broke”
comments were particularly devastating, as were her deleted emails, though they required more
explanation. Though the Clintons were in fact dealing with debt and legal fees when they left the White
House, Mrs. Clinton later called her comments “inartful.”
In addition, America Rising PAC, an opposition research group that focuses heavily on attacking Mrs.
Clinton, began its effort with Twitter and other online posts more than a year ago before moving to paid
digital ads.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and Democratic groups believe that attacks on her trustworthiness and wealth
could be the most damaging if they do not aggressively combat them. Rather than debating policies that
would help working Americans, “they’re trying to make her Mitt Romney in a pantsuit,” said David Brock,
the founder of several pro-Clinton outside groups and author of the forthcoming book, “Killing the
Messenger: The Right Wing Plot to Derail Hillary and Hijack Your Government.”
The Clinton campaign has also tried to turn the trust issue around by arguing that while voters may not
trust how Mrs. Clinton handled her email as secretary of state, they can trust her more than Republicans to
look out for middle-class Americans.
Christina Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the campaign, said billionaires funding the attacks “are committed
to keeping the policies in place that keep the deck stacked in favor of them at the expense of the voters
she talks to around the country.”
Democratic political groups, of course, will undertake their own offensive to attack a Republican nominee or
front-runner, much as they did with Mr. Romney. But their task has been made more difficult by the large
and uncertain Republican field.
Both sides agree that the work undertaken long before the election, often in the year before it, creates the
foundation for the most damaging attacks.

Ahead of the 2004 election, Mr. Rove and others involved in President George W. Bush’s re-election
campaign tried to convince voters that Senator John Kerry was an opportunistic flip-flopper. The critique
did not catch on until March of that year, when Mr. Kerry, in response to a question about funding for the
military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he “actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted
against it.”
“The groundwork had been laid pointing out all the examples of flip-flopping in the past,” said Colin Reed,
the executive director of America Rising.
Republicans could hardly hide their giddiness when Mrs. Clinton made her “dead broke” remark last year.
To many in the political world, the comment evoked Mr. Romney’s misstep at a 2012 fund-raiser where he
said “47 percent” of Americans were overly dependent on government.
Long before Mr. Romney made that comment, Priorities USA Action, the Democratic super PAC, had
devoted months to portraying the Republican candidate as “a plutocrat who doesn’t care about people like
you,” said Bill Burton, a Priorities co-founder.
“The best thing you can do is set the table for a key vulnerability and hope the candidate lives up to the
10/18/2016

hype, which they likely will do,” Mr. Burton said.
In Orlando, the “dead broke” ad emerged as the most effective spot, partly because it captured the gulf
between Mrs. Clinton’s life and those of the less affluent people gathered.
“She’s broke at another level,” said one man, who owns an electrical company and makes less than
$50,000 annually. “She could be broke, you know, compared to the people in her world. O.K., in her status.
‘Oh, my God, I can’t buy a jet this year — we’re broke, we’re not going to Europe, sorry.’ ”
Another ad that resonated, called “Throw Away,” opens with Mrs. Clinton saying she never throws anything
away and is “two steps short of a hoarder” before a narrator points out that she deleted about 30,000
emails from her time at the State Department.
But Crossroads still has some fine-tuning to do. A few women watching expressed sympathy for Mrs.
Clinton, saying they sometimes felt like hoarders, too, and often deleted spam and other personal emails.
Maybe that was what Mrs. Clinton had done?
“They could have been from Bed Bath & Beyond,” one woman said of the emails. “Who knows?”

Subject: Environmental jihad?
OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson just called our climate action campaign “an environmental
jihad.” We need every LCV supporter to help us push back. Tell him to apologize for his offensive
rhetoric and stop blocking congressional action on climate change now >>
John,
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson just crossed a line.
This week, we launched a campaign to get climate change deniers like Senator Johnson to accept the science and take action to curb global
warming.
Before the first day of the campaign was over, Senator Johnson responded by writing in an email:
“The League of Conservation Voters is not an organization with a balanced approach to a cleaner environment. They are an extreme left
group on an environmental jihad.”
John, I don’t even know where to start. But let’s try this:
Tell Senator Johnson to apologize for his offensive language and to stop putting our children’s
future at risk by opposing action on climate change.
Senator Johnson’s rhetoric is extremely offensive and inaccurate on multiple levels, and his determination to block action to cut carbon pollution
is even worse.
It’s true that we are spending $2 million to put ads on the air in four states across the country - including Wisconsin - to call out climate change
deniers in Congress. And we did organize 16 successful, constituent-powered rallies on Tuesday at the district offices of climate change
deniers like Senator Johnson.
But all we’re asking for is that decision-makers in Washington support common-sense action to protect our health, our environment, and our
future.
Senator Johnson started attacking us before even seeing our ad, which only points out that:
• He doesn’t believe in climate change;
• He has taken a lot of money from the oil and gas industries;
• He has voted against limiting the amount of carbon pollution that power plants can spew into our air.
Watch our ad. If you find it to be as common sense as we do. tell Senator Johnson to apologize
for his inflammatory rhetoric and to support action on climate change »
As a member of Congress, Senator Johnson has the power to do something about the climate crisis before it’s too late. But instead he chooses
to block environmental initiatives by reasoning that global warming is just “sunspot activity” and carbon pollution “gets sucked down by trees
and helps the trees grow.”
That’s just wrong, John.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in Wisconsin, Florida, or New York. We all will have to pay the consequences for the lack of action on climate
change in Washington. And Big Oil-backed, climate-denying senators like Ron Johnson are responsible for it.
We can’t let him use name calling to distract from the damage he is doing by siding with polluters over people. So that’s why we’re asking every
LCV supporter across the country to help us send Senator Johnson a message today: we expect him to change his stance on climate and we
won’t back down.
Will you help us reach our goal of 20.000 signatures on our petition telling Senator Johnson to
apologize and stop denying climate change?
LEAGUE
Thanks for standing with us and speaking out today.
Best,

Thanks Angel, dear Ami --
This is fantastic news.
I'll leave Christian to comment on the details, but my understanding is all translations are verbatim, and the cast
list is as set out when we originally discussed.
I'm sure a picture would be useful, both of the President in Profile and anything from the library stocks of the
Florence conference.
I don't know the answer to the online question. I do know that we'd like to produce this as a Global Progress
pamphlet later, and have our CAP partners translate this at a later stage too. But perhaps we can save this for a
discussion after your weekend celebrations as part of a broader conversation?
Thank you so much for making this work. I know this has been an incredibly busy few months for you, and I know
the Library Anniversary this weekend is also a huge undertaking, so I'm very grateful for you all for prioritising
this.
Best of luck, and speak soon.

2) Is the plan (still) for this to run on the 28th? If so, are we seeing this online as well?
3) Any changes re contributors that we should be aware of?
4) Lastly, do you all need a picture for this?
Thank you guys for your patience here. The last couple of months have been extremely hectic around

Dear John,
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the League of Conservation Voters' (LCV) Capital Dinner on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at the
Reagan Building and International T rade Center in Washington, DC. LCV's annual Capital Dinner is the premier gathering for the national
environmental community, and we ask you to lend vour support bv serving as a sponsor of this exciting evening.
LCV continues to work with our national network of more than 30 state LCVs and other allies to advance strong policies on climate change and
clean energy at the state and federal levels. We will grow our membership base across the country and mobilize supporters to urge leaders to
move forward on climate change, while engaging key constituencies such as Latinos and youth. We are urging the Obama administration to
build on the progress from their first term by cutting carbon pollution from power plants and rejecting dirty fuels, while pushing for state and
local solutions such as renewable energy standards. These efforts are bolstered by our proven track record of winning elections and holding
elected leaders accountable for their votes with our National Environmental Scorecard.
Your partnership plays a decisive role in helping LCV and our state league partners seize opportunities, fight threats, and build for the future.
We are counting on your support to make this year's Capital Dinner a success. To confirm your participation as a sponsor with a

CONGRESS
Dear John,
When I first ran for State's Attorney in 2002, we won a very competitive election because of an outpouring of grassroots
energy around our proactive solutions to challenges like violent crime, recidivism, struggling schools and domestic violence.
We brought members of the community together to tackle these problems:
• We cut the crime rate in half by working with the police and the community to identify suspects and steer at-risk youth to
make better decisions than committing crime.
• We rallied the faith community and small businesses to ease the transition back to civilian life for ex-offenders.
• We established an in-school reading volunteer program to help struggling second graders catch up with their peers.
• We dedicated a unit in the State's Attorney's office to domestic violence prosecution and prevention that help put away
some of the most violent offenders.
Together we saved lives.
In Congress, I will be a strong leader in the fight to improve education for all of our young people, to expand job opportunities,
to raise wages for our families, and to reform our criminal justice system.
But I need your help to communicate our record with voters.
With the most important deadline of this campaign just 30 days away, I am asking you to help me raise $4,000 by
the end of today.
Click here to donate $50, $100, or $250
We have done so much good together in the past. Help me bring that approach to Congress. So help us get our message
out by making a contribution today.
Thanks for all that you do. This campaign for change cannot be won without you.

Dear Project New West Subscriber,
We have been commissioned by Americans For a Fair Democracy, a new Project New West subscriber, to
conduct research and testing with Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners and Dr. Drew Westen, author of
The Political Brain, on media that has been developed to detoxify race in an electoral and post-electoral
environment. With a team of social scientists led by Dr. Westen, they have completed the most sophisticated
testing yet done on political and nonpolitical ads of this sort, testing both people's conscious and unconscious
responses to the ads and their potential electoral impact. The testing was aimed particularly at non-college-
educated white voters over 50.
Please join us for a webinar/phone briefing of this research and paid media. Two briefings, one for our
independent subscribers and one for our candidate/coordinated subscribers, will be conducted:
IE Briefing: Friday Oct. 24th, 1 1am EDT/ 8am PDT
Coordinated Briefing: TBD, most likely will occur Sat. Oct. 25th. Details will be sent soon.

Lexington Herald-Leader: “Rand Paul predicts 'big' Republican wave in November elections”
By Sam Youngman
October 11, 2014
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul took a break from his Lexington weekend to offer some free advice to Kentucky media who sponsored a poll showing U.S.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell trailing Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes.
"I'd re-check it if I were y'all, because I think you're probably an outlier," Paul said.
In an interview Saturday morning before he headed to Commonwealth Stadium for the Kentucky Wildcats football game, Paul voiced confidence
that McConnell will win in November and took a few swipes at Grimes and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Joining in on the media and Republican onslaught over Grimes' recent refusal to tell the Louisville Courier-Journal's editorial board whether she
voted for President Barack Obama, Paul called Grimes' evasion "bizarre" and "really unbelievable."
Everybody knows who she voted for," Paul said. "She knows who she voted for, and she's not going to tell us, and I think that's an unacceptable

answer. I think she still could have a chance when she acknowledges it, but it just shows you how unpopular the leader of her party is and how
unpopular her party is nationally."
Grimes spokesman Preston Maddock replied, "What's really bizarre is that Rand Paul has had an impossible time explaining why he supports Mitch
McConnell in this race."
Paul also took aim at the Clintons, something he does with regularity as he continues to consider a 2016 run for the White House. Paul has been
intensely critical of Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, specifically how her department responded to a terrorist attack on the U.S.
Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
When asked whether he thought Hillary Clinton would be of help to Grimes when she comes to the state to campaign Wednesday, Paul argued that
the popularity of the Clintons in Kentucky has been overstated.
"I think they've fooled themselves on the whole popularity of the Clintons in Kentucky," Paul said. "You know Clinton won Kentucky when there
were three candidates in the race."
Bill Clinton won Kentucky in 1 992 with 45 percent over former President George H.W. Bush and Ross Fterot. In 1 996, Clinton won the state with
about 46 percent of the vote over Perot and former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole.
"I don't think that really means he's that popular," Paul said. "I think they've fooled themselves to think that he — or she — will help Alison in the
end."
Mary Rutherford Jennings, a spokeswoman for the pro-Hillary Clinton super FAC Correct the Record, said Saturday that "the only one who's fooled
himself is Rand Paul thinking Americans are interested in taking a step backward with his extremist policies. Hillary Clinton's focus on moving our
country forward is what makes Americans, and Kentuckians, so excited about her."
In May, the Herald-Leader, along with the Courier-Journal, WHAS-TV and WKYT-TV, polled a hypothetical showdown between Paul and Clinton
and found Fhul leading the former secretary of state 48 percent to 44 percent.
Paul, who is drawing increasingly larger media crowds as he continues his tour of states that hold early contests in presidential races, making
stops to help Republicans along the way, said he anticipates a "big" Republican wave this year, similar to what Republicans enjoyed in 2010 in
what Obama later referred to as a "shellacking."
"I think the wind is at our back," Paul said. "We're a fairly evenly divided country, and so sometimes if the wind's blowing strongly at the end you
can pick up quite a few seats, sometimes even more than anybody predicts."
He continued: "My sense is it's going to be big, and that we are going to take over the Senate. But we're not taking anything for granted. I'm trying
to help as many candidates as I can get across the finish line."
Paul's travel schedule is hectic. On Friday, he took in the horse races at Keeneland after meeting with community leaders in Ferguson, Mo. On
Saturday, he attended the football game as part of the University of Kentucky's parents' weekend. Two of the senator's sons attend UK.
A relative by marriage, Jesse Benton, was Paul's campaign manager during his successful 2010 race, but resigned as McConnell's campaign chief
in late August after his name was connected to a bribery scandal in the closing days of the 201 2 Iowa presidential caucuses.
"I don't really have any comment on that," Paul said. "He's been a good friend and he's married to my niece, and I'm supportive of him, and I believe
that everything will work out in the end."
McConnell and a number of other top Republicans in the state are scheduled to gather in Bowling Green on Sunday for Paul's "Barnburner and

BBQ" event, a fundraiser for the Rand Paul Victory Committee.
Paul reiterated that he is still mulling a White House run, with a spring decision likely.
The senator said that even as he travels around the country building support and trying to grow the Republican Party's brand, he gets back to
Kentucky almost every weekend and feels confident he will win his Senate re-election bid regardless of whether he pursues the presidency.
"I haven't sensed any real problems with people thinking I'm not doing a good job," Fhul said.
KFMB-AM: “Heckler interrupts Hillary Clinton speech”
By Shannon Handy
October 12, 2014, 9:13 p.m. EDT
SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Hillary Clinton visits San Diego but is rudely welcomed by a heckler who interrupts her speech.
Clinton was in San Diego Sunday to address the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Hundreds lined up at the Convention
Center to see the former first lady and secretary of state.
Hillary Clinton was just minutes into her talk Sunday when someone in the 3,000 plus crowd began to heckle her using a bullhorn. Without flinching,
the former secretary of state made a joke and moved on.
'You know, there are some people who miss important developmental stages," Clinton said.
Clinton, who spoke for nearly 30 minutes, was at the annual conference to promote early literacy. She referred to her daughter Chelsea and her
first granddaughter born just two weeks ago.
"When I look into the eyes of my baby granddaughter, that's what I see, and I'm so grateful," she said.
Clinton commended the room full of pediatricians, and their role in making sure government doesn't get in the way of medical care for children.
"Your letter to Washington really makes clear the stakes of this - congress must not gamble with our children's future," Clinton said.
Attendees we spoke with were impressed with her words.
One woman said, "She talked very naturally, and she reached out to everybody as a professional, as a politician and as a grandmother.. .new
grandmother. I think that touched our hearts."
Another attendee said, "I thought it was spectacular, just spectacular. She did phenomenal job in both the political side of things, and the reading
literacy emphasis. I thought she did a spectacular job."

San Diego Union-Tribune: “Hillary Clinton says no iPad time for babies”
By Peter Sullivan

Hillary Clinton was heckled by a man with a bullhorn at a speech in San Diego late Sunday.
The man sounded an alarm on the device in the middle of Clinton's speech to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Clinton flinched and stopped
speaking as the shouting man was quickly taken away by security.
Clinton, who was speaking about early childhood development, came back with a joke.
"You know there are some people who miss important developmental stages," she said.
It is not clear what the man was shouting about.
Clinton announced a new partnership between the Clinton Foundation's "Too Small to Fail" program and the Academy to provide toolkits for doctors
to encourage parents to read to their children from an early age.
“As we have learned in the last 15 years, scientists can literally watch the synapses and the neurons firing when parents are reading and talking
with children from their very earliest days,” Clinton said, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
“We don’t have enough research, but I think what we are learning is that the earliest years before a child is 2, televisions, iPads and screens are
no substitute for actual parent-child interactions like talking, reading and singing," she added.

Hillary Clinton lent encouragement Sunday to pediatricians who are trying to promote parents reading to children, while weighing in on the debate
over how much electronic screen time is healthy for infants and toddlers.
At the San Diego Convention Center, Clinton announced the distribution of an early literacy tool kit to help promote the verbal development of young
children. The effort capitalizes on the trusted role of pediatricians in encouraging parents to read out loud, chat freely and even sing more with

their young children from day one. The tool kits will be shared with 62,000 members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is holding a
conference in San Diego this week.
“As we have learned in the last 15 years, scientists can literally watch the synapses and the neurons firing when parents are reading and talking
with children from their very earliest days,” said Clinton, a former U.S. Secretary of State. The Academy of Pediatrics touched off a national debate
about the use of electronic devices by young children in June when it recommended no TV or electronic screen time for children under the age of
2, and less than two hours for older children.
Clinton, the author of “It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us” and “Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids’ Letters to Their First Pets,”
embraced those concerns during extended comments about the “word gap” among children whose vocabulary development falters in early life.
“Now technology is of course changing how Americans read and in many ways it is opening up exciting new avenues for learning,” Clinton said.
“We don’t have enough research, but I think what we are learning is that the earliest years before a child is 2, televisions, iPads and screens are
no substitute for actual parent-child interactions like talking, reading and singing.”
The academy has joined forces on literacy development with the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and Next Generation, the California-
based policy group on Climate change and childhood issues. Their initiative, dubbed “Too Small to Fail,” responds to a growing body of research
highlighting language sensitivity starting in infancy.
Speaking for nearly 30 minutes on stage without a Teleprompter or notes, Clinton touched on health care policy milestones of the 1 990s, including
the defeat of her own health care reform initiative as First Lady.
Clinton brushed off a jarring interruption by a man with a megaphone and siren who was escorted out of the room.
“You know there are some people who miss important developmental stages,” she said to applause.
Among those in the audience, Clinton’s prospects as a possible presidential candidate in 2016 were on almost everyone’s mind.
“I think they would be lying if they weren’t interested,” said Maria Fung, a Boston-area pediatrician in her mid-30s.
Beth Pollard, a history professor at San Diego State University, heard notes of politicking in Clinton’s remarks.
“She started to talk about the erosion in our leaders and people working hard to make ends meet,” said Pollard, who watched with her father, a
pediatrician, and her own 7-year-old daughter. “She was beginning to distance herself from this administration.”

New York Times: First Draft: “Midterm Results Could Speed a Possible Clinton Announcement”
By Amy Chozick
October 13, 2014, 7:20 a.m. EDT
Hillary Rodham Clinton may not have the luxury of waiting until early next year to declare her intentions to run for president in 2016.
If Democrats lose control of the Senate in the midterm elections, the party may need to quickly pivot to the presidential campaign, several people
close to Mrs. Clinton said.
The Democratic Party would look to Mrs. Clinton “as its Noah’s ark,” a vessel on which voters and donors could channel their enthusiasm and
frustration, said one of these people, who could discuss the internal deliberations only on the condition of anonymity.
Until recently, Mrs. Clinton was expected to announce around Feb. 15, 2015, which would give her campaign plenty of time to staff up and raise
money.
But that timing is now being reconsidered as Democrats contemplate a scenario in which they suffer significant losses.
Mrs. Clinton could feel pressure to at least file the requisite paperwork to start an exploratory committee before the end of this year. The committee
would allow her to start to raise money, and she could still delay an official announcement until early next year.

Bloomberg: “Julian Castro Does Not Want to be President. Now or 'Ever 1 ”
By Steven Yaccino
October 12, 2014, 12:04 p.m. EDT
[Subtitle:] The 40-year-old rising star in the Democratic Fhrty was unequivocal on the question of a White House bid.
Julian Castro, a rising star in the Democratic Party, dismissed speculation on Sunday that he is being groomed for the White House, saying he had
no plans to run for president - “probably ever.”
“I guarantee you I'm not going to run for president,” he said in an interview with ABC’s "This Week" that aired Sunday morning.
“I have never woken up in the morning and seen in my future, when I look in the mirror, and said, 'Oh, I think I could be president,'” Castro added.
Castro left his job as the mayor of San Antonio to work as head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development earlier this year. He's
been traversing the country in recent months, meeting with state and local housing officials, and lending a hand to Democratic candidates like
Senator Mark Begich, who is trailing his Republican challenger in Alaska.
On Sunday, Castro also tried to dampen rumors that he will be on the short list of possible running mates for Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for
president in 2016.
“I don't believe that I'm going to be vice president,” he said, adding that he planned to stay in Washington until Obama's term ends, then return to
Texas.
All of this isn't to say that Castro hasn't thought about higher office. When asked if he would be interested in become the executive of his home
state, Castro finally gave the calculated non-answer you'd expect from a young, ambitious politician.
“There were definitely mornings where I work up and wished there was a different governor of Texas, that's fair to say,” he said. “I'm 40 years
old right now, and so I feel like I have a lot of time to figure out where the opportunities are.”
Washington Post blog: Reliable Source: “Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland says she hopes Hillary Clinton becomes
president”

On Friday night, Oscar-nominated Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland made a pit stop in Washington, taking a tiny break from directing two
episodes of Netflix’s “House of Cards” in Baltimore.
Speaking at an event at the Fblish ambassador’s residence in Forest Hills, the semi-suburban Northwest D.C. neighborhood that many foreign
diplomats call home, Holland wouldn’t reveal too much about the show, of course. But she did call out one of Ambassador Ryszard Schnepfs
famous neighbors.
When asked if she thought calculating first lady Claire Underwood, the series’ close approximation of Lady Macbeth, might make a run for president
in seasons to come, Holland said that television “often predicts real life,” adding that she hoped former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would one
day be president. The Clintons have a home around the corner, on Whitehaven Street.
The “Cards” production is not Holland’s first time filming in Baltimore. She directed five episodes of David Simon’s “The Wire” there.
In 1 992, Holland’s Holocaust film, “Europa, Europa,” was nominated for an Academy Award.
“She’s maybe the most political filmmaker they’re having direct ‘House of Cards,’ ” said Washington-based filmmaker Aviva Kempner, who plans to
film a documentary on Holland’s career.
The Daily Beast: “How Red-State Democrats Can Throw Obama Under the Bus”
By Michael Tomasky
October 12, 2014
[Subtitle:] Let’s be blunt: Democratic Senate candidates in red states — like Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky — need to say ‘Barack who?’ But
doing so can look craven, or it can be crafty.
Monday night’s a big night in this campaign season. In Kentucky, Alison Lundergan Grimes gets her one shot at Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell in a debate. I know most of the smart people have written the Democrat off. But a major Kentucky poll last week put her up two points.
And she seems to be drawing big and enthusiastic crowds. And McConnell keeps making mistakes. In other words, there’s oxygen.
Grimes is going to hit her themes — that McConnell hasn’t delivered jobs to the state and that he’s a big part of the Washington problem. McConnell
will hit his — that GrimesObama isObama aObama shiftyObama DemocratObama by the way did I mention this guy Obama? But as we all know, if
there ever is a clear victory in any of these debates, it usually come down to a moment, one good or bad moment that gets replayed over and over
on local TV news and masticated on the state’s political radio shows. And for Grimes, unless she has a great putdown stocked away she’s been
working on, fate has recently decreed what that moment is likely to be.
As you should know by now, Grimes has been refusing to say whether she voted for President Obama. It’s been embarrassing. Chuck Todd even
said she’d “disqualified herself.” That’s a bit over the top, but it was plenty bad. And of course she is going to be asked this question on
Monday night, and of course everyone is going to be waiting, and of course she is going to have to be ready.
I’ve been a reporter covering these things. In 2000, when Hillary Clinton was debating Rick Lazio in Buffalo, we all knew that she was only partially
debating Lazio. She was also debating Tim Russert, the moderator who had been a Javert-like figure in his capacity as Meet the Press host vis-a-
vis the Clintons and the Lewinsky scandal. So all the reporters gathered in the studio of Buffalo’s public television station that September night
were waiting for the moment when Russert would hit Hillary with the Monica question.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 1283
When it happened, interestingly, it was Russert, not Hillary, who blew it. He asked her if she regretted “misleading the American people” that first
morning she went on the Today show to talk about the “vast right-wing conspiracy” out to get Bill. But she believed what she was saying at the
time, and everyone accepted that. So Russert’s over-aggressive question helped Clinton, as did Lazio’s subsequent pushiness.
Grimes can’t count on that. She will likely get a tough but fair and straightforward question: i.e., Why won’t you answer the question? You’re a
Democrat, what are you ashamed of? And at that moment — that pivotal moment in her career and life, and potentially that crucial moment for the
contemporary Democratic Fhrty and indeed for Obama himself, inasmuch as how Grimes handles the moment could help decide whether Obama
has to deal with Harry Reid or McConnell for the last two years of his public life — what must she do?
The temptation here for people like me is to insist that she should stand up and say “you’re damn right I did,” and Obamacare this and Kynect that.
I’d love for her to say that, but alas the reality is such these days that the opposite might be better. All the McConnell campaign wants at this point is
a three-second clip of her saying, “OK, maybe I did vote for him, but...” That would be edited down to “I did vote for him” and replayed nine jillion
times in attack ads.
One can see the argument that she shouldn’t give McConnell the satisfaction of having that clip. So maybe she has to throw the president under
the bus. Obama got 41 percent of the vote in Kentucky in 2008, and 38 percent in 2012. His approval rating right now is 30 percent. Behind
numbers like that, it’s kind of hard for her to say, “You’re damn right I did.” But what exactly should she say?
Here we arrive at what I believe to be a central tenet of campaigning that lots of candidates forget when they’re under the klieg lights: When you
have to deal with an uncomfortable reality, you can do it in a way that suggests to voters that you’re weak and waffle-ish, or you can do it a way
that makes you look like you have “character.”
What would character mean in this case? It means answering the question in a way that reduces it to the importance it deserves. Because it’s an
unimportant question. We all know Grimes voted for Obama. Of course she did. She’s a Democratic office-holder. There is a way for her to
acknowledge this winkingly without really admitting it while saying to voters, “Isn’t this whole thing kind of ridiculous?” That’s the best play she has:
Turn the whole question into an indictment of McConnell and the gotcha media and the whole electoral process. This was done masterfully by
Newt Gingrich in the debate before the South Carolina primary. I was in that hall. The rage of the crowd — on his behalf, as he answered CNN’s
John King’s question about his alleged open marriage, was as palpable as anything I’ve ever felt.
Gingrich emerged that night looking bigger than King, bigger than everyone on stage, and he won the primary. Granted, voters tend to see the
personal life as more off limits. But if Grimes can summon some outrage within her that’s something like what Newt did that night, she can take the
Obama question out of the conversation once and for all.

The massive victory by Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire was a pivotal moment in the race for the
Democratic nomination.
Taken with the close results in Iowa, one thing is increasingly clear: This is going to be a long primary
season, and every single delegate is going to be important.
Which is why many Sanders supporters were shocked to see what the news media had to say about the
delegate count on Wednesday morning. Even though Bernie won New Hampshire by an absolute landslide,
the press claimed that he and Hillary Clinton were leaving the state with an equal number of delegates --
because most of the state's superdelegates are promising to vote for Hillary at the convention.
Here's how it works. In addition to the thousands of pledged delegates, who are allotted to each campaign
based on primary and caucus results, there are 712 superdelegates -- made up of Democratic elected
officials and party insiders -- who get to vote on who the party's nominee should be at the convention.
If the race is close, superdelegates could determine who the nominee will be regardless of who the majority
of voters supported. Pretty undemocratic, isn't it?

I think the race for who the Democratic nominee will be should be decided by the voters, not by a handful of

This isn't the first time that Democrats have raised concerns over the superdelegate system.
In 2008, when the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was at its closest, some people thought
that superdelegates would be able change the results of the nomination process.
My friends at Democracy for America took action then as well. In 2008, more than 60,000 DFA members
signed and delivered a petition to Democratic Party leadership asking superdelegates not to overturn the will
of the voters. And that year, they didn't. Most superdelegates either changed their support or waited to
choose a side until after Obama won the majority of delegates pledged through the primary process.
Unfortunately, the party failed to reform this unfair and undemocratic part of the nomination process in the
years since President Obama was elected. Now, we're facing another potential crisis in the party.
If supporters of either candidate walk away from this process feeling cheated because party insiders nullified
their votes, it will be impossible to put together a winning coalition in November.
Holding on to the White House in 2016 is extremely important. We can't afford to let party elites jeopardize
that by ignoring the will of the voters. Join me and DFA in telling superdelegates to pledge to support the
popularly-elected winner of the nomination now. < http://act.democracyforamerica.co m/sian/

S NEWWAY
~ NEW JERSEY
John --
My mom was a secretary. My dad never graduated high school and took any job he thought could help support our family -
- even working as a paid pallbearer.
They taught me the importance of hard work and a good education, and I remember these values by keeping a photo
beside my desk of my mother meeting President John F. Kennedy.
Throughout my life, I've worked to honor my parents, and the spirit of Kennedy's legacy, by giving back to the community
through efforts that bring people together.
That's what New Wav for New Jersey, and this new video, is all about. I hope you'll take a moment to
watch and share it with your friends and family:
I built a successful career by learning how economies grow and create jobs. I've led charities to help troubled teens and
domestic abuse survivors, and these organizations have changed thousands of lives for the better.
I've started New Way for New Jersey because I know if you look for answers in the same old places, you'll just end up with
the same old problems.
Let's get started building a better tomorrow for New Jersey families -- watch and share the video:

Dear Robby
Thanks for the update. I think this makes sense - though I would might move Analytical up to the extent it is a
partner with Technology, it's newer for her and it is important to understand how it reshapes traditional
campaign strategy/planning.
She has not reverted yet on the days I sent but I think the process of first doing conceptual issues as you have
here works really well for her. She likes to get smart on issues/areas/mechanics and then act and so this
approach plays to her strengths.
I would move staffing to be after this process as she will better understand the staffing she will need to meet the
objectives after these discussions, which would ideally would be right after the election. Then I would shift to
what it means to staff for what she will more deeply understand with this context.
best.

Great call today. Cheryl, so you're up to speed, we discussed a few action items:
1 . John is going to talk to Todd Park about being an overall advisor on tech
2. David is going to reach out to Teddy Goff about doing an assessment of where we are and where we need
to be
3. We are going to report back on the IT recommendations that Rajeev writes up and get a process going for
him to look at the potential office spaces.
Big picture, I was thinking it might make sense to do a series of organized conversations like the one we just
had around other key functions of the campaign. I think it might help to get her up to speed on the latest
planning and give her the opportunity to weigh in on next steps and ensure we're getting input from the right
people. She seems comfortable migrating from a closed to a more open planning process, so I want to make
sure we're incorporating everyone she wants.
Then we can move to hiring.
I'm thinking for each topic we could cover the following three things:
--Strategy next steps: review what planning has already taken place and what work remains to be done;
-Staff recruitment: who she wants us to connect with on staff recruitment
-Key action items: key next steps, from her perspective and ours
I'd propose going in the following order:
1. Technology/Digital
• Finance
• Communications (earned media)
• Paid Media
• Political
• Analytics

February 14, 2011 (202) 822-7823, mgonzalez@nea.org
NEA President: Obama's budget keeps America moving forward
Students take back seat in House spending proposal
WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama today released his Fiscal-Year 2012 budget, making the tough choice to focus
scarce financial resources on education. His budget comes on the heels of a proposal by House Appropriations Committee
Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) to make draconian budget cuts in the FY 2011 Continuing Resolution Obama requested.
"Money is tight in every American household," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "In tough economic times, it's
reassuring that President Obama continues to make education a national priority by calling for important investments in
quality public education to keep America moving forward. Reckless cuts, like those proposed by the House Appropriations
Committee Chairman, would dash the dreams of countless American students and stall the engine that drives our economy.
We urge House Republicans to rethink their approach and ensure that our students can 'out-innovate, out-build and out-
compete' the world."
Rogers is seeking deep budget cuts to the tune of $100 billion in the FY 11 Continuing Resolution that President Obama
requested, effectively gutting special education grants to local school districts, Head Start for children and Pell Grants to
disadvantaged college students, among other proven programs.
The proposed cuts would put additional strain on states' budgets already cut to the bone. Wisconsin faces a two-year budget
deficit of $3.6 billion. Ellsworth Community School District in Wisconsin is slashing 24 of its 150 school personnel positions to
save $1.1 million. Educators and students already are feeling the economic pinch.
One of the educators not returning to school next year is Shelly Moore, a 13-year English and drama high school teacher at
Ellsworth Community High School. Moore teaches grades 9-12. She also is the school's only Advanced Placement instructor.
Moore took her message to Congress last week, pleading with lawmakers to put students first and reminding them that
investing in education is the right thing to do for students, communities and the nation.
"Policymakers need to make tough choices to restore fiscal discipline, but we hope they do not jeopardize our students'
education, which is tied to all of our futures," said Van Roekel. "How many working families will see their children's future
vanish before their eyes if one wing of the House Republican caucus has its way?"
-more-
NEA is urging Congress to oppose any proposals that put the nation at great risk by decimating public education and other
programs that ensure a competitive workforce and future economic vitality. "We know that there is a diversity of opinion
within the House of Representatives about our national budget priorities," said Van Roekel. "We encourage House leaders to
allow for a full debate and hope that a majority of the House will support investments that support students and our country's
progress."

Subject: Dig deep, John
John --
There's only one way to wake up the morning after an election -- with no regrets.
There's only one way to be sure that's how you wake up on November 3rd: giving everything you've got in the last five
days.
That's why I'm out there day after day, doing exactly what you're doing -- talking to voters.
These kinds of conversations are the most effective thing we can do in a campaign -- you know it. I know it. They're how
we brought change to this country after years of Republican malarkey. They're how we won the White House.
I know what you're doing is working because, when I'm on the road or the President's on the road, the crowds are fired up
and ready to go. I'm seeing positive signs everywhere, and millions of our supporters -- including tens of thousands who
have never voted before in a midterm election -- are voting early.
But we have less than a week left, and we need everyone to dig deep.
Because none of us is alone in this work, Organizing for America is pairing every grassroots donor who gives this week with
another individual giving the same amount. All of us want to make an impact in these final five days, and this is a way to
double it.
Please chip in $3 or more right now.
I'd never bet against this movement.
You're out there week after week, defying expectations. You knock on doors day after day. You make calls night after
night.
Someone told me she couldn't believe that Organizing for America was reaching out to 7 million voters this week, and I
told her that she shouldn't be surprised. You don't wait for the moment to come to you, you go out and seize it. Just
Tuesday night I was in New York talking with a roomful of volunteers who were making calls and getting out the vote -- and
it was a powerful thing to witness.
But we can't let up now.
There are campaign offices out there that need to add extra phone lines because they're packed with volunteers ready to
make calls. There are volunteers ready to go canvass, but they need flyers to go door to door. There are kids on college
campuses working to get their classmates to vote, and they need our help, too.
I don't want to let any of them down -- not now, not when we're so close.
So I need you to join another supporter and commit to this work, together.
Please donate $3 or more today:

Hi John-
Tawfic Khoury is in the US this week - any chance you had 10 minutes to meet in person or talk on the phone? With Eryn out,
I've lost my connection to your schedule.
We're doing great work with his support - 1 can tell you about it. Thank you again for connecting him with us.
Are you going to have a chance to see the Holy Father this week on his visit?

NANCY
ROTERING
Democrat for Congress
Friends,
This is such a special time of year: more time with friends and family and the chance to come together around the table to
share a holiday meal. For most of us, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration but for our neighbors
struggling with hunger, it’s often a time of pain and stress.
Food insecurity is something that most of us don’t think about everyday, but it quietly affects people of all ages across the
nation throughout the year and is most poignant at the holidays. The Northern Illinois Food Bank reports that nearly
600.000 people in Northern Illinois rely on food pantries and meal programs to feed themselves and their families throughout
the year. Most are families with at least one working member of the household. Each day, they have to make the tough
choice between paying for food or rent, heat, medicine and other essentials.
Our Congressional campaign has made it a priority to shine a spotlight on the year-round need for food security in our
communities. Our on-going food drive to assist 10th Congressional District food pantries continues. Join us by donating
non-perishable, non-expired food donations at Nancy Rotering for Congress Headquarters.
Donations are accepted at campaign headquarters at 1910 First Street, Suite lS, Highland Park, Monday through Friday,
10:00am - 7:00pm and Saturday from 11:00am - 4:00pm. Campaign staff and community volunteers transport the food
to district pantries.
Use this link for more information, to volunteer or to share vour ideas about how to fight hunger.
As a Mayor, I have championed the issue, partnering with area organizations to take action and will continue to do so.
Parents should not have to worry about a sending a hungry child to school and seniors should not have to wonder when
they will have access to a nutritious meal.
With your continued help, we can deliver food - and hope for a brighter future to our most vulnerable neighbors now and
year-round.
Sincerely,
10/18/2016

Puerto Rico Memo.docx
HRC wants to do a tweet on Puerto Rico regarding the debt crisis (see attached memo if you want brief
background on the issue).
Our goal with the tweet is to be empathetic to Puerto Ricans, make clear we are in this together b/c their health
and well-being is ours and b/c many Americans hold PR municipal bonds as part of their retirement portfolios.
We don't want to suggest a bailout, but we do want to suggest that we should partner to solve the problem
SUGGESTED tweet (in need of Lauren's magic and 3 characters over):
Puerto Rico's debt crisis is not theirs alone. We must partner to find smart solutions to stabilize & grow PR's economy and help
people thrive.

Catholics United Condemns NRCC Effort to Defeat Pro-life House
Dems
NRCC shamelessly uses abortion issue to mislead voters
Washington, DC - The social justice group Catholics United is denouncing a new Web site sponsored by the National Republican Congressional
Committee aimed at defeating 1 5 House Democrats who voted for final passage of the health care reform bill. The Web site falsely claims that the
new health care law funds abortion and suggests that Congressman Bart Stupak (MI-1 ), the leader of the Democratic pro-life caucus, sold out his
principles by voting for health care reform. Readers of the site are asked to sign a petition that reads, "Tell the Stupak Sellouts that the federal
funding of abortion is wrong." This generalized statement is not supported with any corroborating evidence and suggests that the true intention of
the NRCC is to use the life issue for political gain. Multiple news outlets and policy experts have verified that that the new health care reform law
does not include federal funding of elective abortion.
"The Republican Party has once again demonstrated that it is more concerned with using the abortion issue for its partisan interests than it is in
having a serious conversation about what constitutes a culture of life," said Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United. "Members of
Congress who voted for health care reform should be commended for expanding affordable health care to 32 million uninsured Americans and
providing vulnerable pregnant women with additional support, all while maintaining the existing ban on federal funding of abortion."
In the lead-up to the final health care vote, Catholics United ran "Health care reform is pro-life" ads in 5 congressional districts whose
representative is now being targeted by NRCC,. These representatives are Chris Carney (PA-10), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), Joe Donnelly (IN-2),
Steve Driehaus (OH-1 ) and Tom Perriello (VA-5). After the vote, Catholics United ran "Thank you" ads for two of the members of Congress who
voted for health care reform and are now NRCC targets. These representatives are Chris Carney (PA-10) and Tom Perriello (VA-5).

this is a press decision, but i would be against giving out anything that is not otherwise public, like money or signups, if we want
to address that stuff at all, would just say something generic about how donations and volunteer signups are flying in, and not
give numbers.
stats like RTs, Facebook likes, video views on Facebook, etc., which are public anyway, can of course be shared, we can compile if
helpful.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to give a quick update.
Over the course of the weekend, we've been conducting analytics tracking calls to check in on our models and see if we need to make any last
minute adjustments. Though we are not changing our Friday forecast of a four point lead, I wanted to update you on the calls we have conducted
since then.
The weekend data has been encouraging - voters are telling us that they support us at higher rates than we expected and indicate slightly more
enthusiasm and caucus awareness than Sanders supporters. However, the sample from the last two days is too small to change the topline.
And none of this is to say that Monday will not be extremely competitive (it will be) nor that the caucus process is still inherently favorable to a
candidate like Sanders who appeals to the activist base (it still is), but I wanted to share that the limited recent data has been promising.
I’m going to set up a call for later today to discuss. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
-elan

Hello John,
Attached please find the cash flow budget through 2017.
A few things to note:
1. This budget includes the hiring planned for 2015 as planned. Therefore, any changes would be deletions, not additions.
2. The lowest monthly balance is $477k in November.
3. The income assumptions are, I believe, conservative.
Our contract CFO thinks this looks good and recommends we move forward, but I'm eager to hear your reactions. Please let me
know what you think — I'm around all weekend @ 202.549.3452

Subject: HRC | Immigration EA
To close the loop here, HRC will tweet this as soon as President Obama concludes his remarks this evening,
followed by this statement, which I will circulate to our press list and anyone who asks. HRC will get the question
tomorrow evening when she sits on stage with Walter Isaacson at an event for the New York Historical Society.
Huma/Dan/Ethan, anything to add?
Tweet
"Thanks to President Obama for taking action on immigration in the face of inaction. Now let’s turn to permanent bipartisan
reform.”
Statement
I support the President’s decision to begin fixing our broken immigration system and focus finite resources on deporting felons
rather than families. I was hopeful that the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate in 2013 would spur the House of
Representatives to act, but they refused even to advance an alternative. Their abdication of responsibility paved the way for this
executive action, which follows established precedent from Presidents of both parties going back 70 years. But, only Congress
can finish the job by passing permanent bipartisan reform that keeps families together, treats everyone with dignity and
compassion, upholds the rule of law, protects our borders and national security, and brings millions of hard-working people out
of the shadows and into the formal economy so they can pay taxes and contribute to our nation’s prosperity. Our
disagreements on this important issue may grow heated at times, but I am confident that people of good will and good faith can
yet find common ground. We should never forget that we’re not discussing abstract statistics - we’re talking about real families
with real experiences. We’re talking about parents lying awake at night afraid of a knock on the door that could tear their
families apart, people who love this country, work hard, and want nothing more than a chance to contribute to the community
and build better lives for themselves and their children.

Subject: Email 1 of 2
Cheryl,
I wanted to give you immediate reaction to the polling and research materials you sent yesterday.
At a high-level, I believe the plan that Robby has outlined is robust and appropriate to an ongoing
polling approach. Additionally, I believe it can have utility from a brand positioning and tracking
perspective. I see the quantitative polling piece as an ongoing tracker that will allow us to
understand results on key imagery metrics that will inform ongoing work.
That said, there are particular aspects I have questions around.
1. While I believe in the mix of online and telephone surveying, I question how representative the
home phone population are to our necessary target reach. Additionally, we should think hard about
polling calls to mobile phones, not sure how socially acceptable that is. As a point of reference,
Coke's continuous tracking survey fielded 365 days a year is all handled online. As a point of input I
have asked a friend at AT&T for home phone penetration and attrition numbers so we can better
consider.
2. I think the ongoing online discussion boards are a great idea. I have this in place and use it often
with a firm called Communispace -- 1 had mentioned this when we spoke. I'd be interested in
understanding the recommended firm for this and having a dialog around the methodology.
10/18/2016

3. For the qualitative groups, I would really like to engage/lead these, the methodology, the desired
outcomes, the firm that would lead, etc. These will be material to brand positioning and there's a
great opportunity to not duplicate efforts.
4. I'd also seek involvement in the engagement of an analytics firm. The materials indicate Blue
Labs. I'm familiar with Bluefin Labs which is an exceptional analytics firm. Not sure if this is the
same. More broadly, among our analytics deliverables we should be able to tie the movement in
key attributes/imagery to likelihood to vote. This is a key need of the analytics model which can
then be tracked continuously through the polling.
5. I recognize that sub groupings will follow this initial push out. That said, understanding
multicultural voters -- unacculturated, acculturated and bi-cultural Hispanics, African Americans and
multicultural Millennials as a starting point -- will be important. Also other clusters are certain to
materialize -- women/Moms, community activists, youth/millennial, etc. We will want this
understanding post exploratory to truly inform actions/content once a campaign is underway.
6. The media consultant at GMMB appears to be an earned media expert (vs paid). Would want to
confirm this. I am familiar with GMMB with my work with the American Beverage Association, they've
done a good job there. On paid media I would want to leverage a general market media firm.
7. On the handful of mentions RE branding and design (website, etc) I agree with the input -- eg
branding's role. That said we'll want to lift the role of branding to overarch all decisions and
outputs under the moniker of Everything Communicates. So being on-brand will be critical and a
starting point for everything we do and execute.
8. On the production of any materials logo/mark, exploratory or announcement videos, website
development and all associated content, I would want to lead these aspects. I believe the
exploratory materials will be judged as the equivalent of announcement materials. They must set
the tone, create momentum, be shareworthy... I could keep going. They're really important. $45kfor
videos is a bit tight in my mind, but again, we can be creative on this.
9. A final thought on research and measurement. As a basis we need to be asking all of these
questions against "the ideal leader" and then in reference to our candidate. The qualitative learning
on the ideal candidate and our candidate starting point informs the ongoing imagery that the polling
would track which informs our messaging and content adjustments in realtime.
10. Ok, I lied, now a real final thought. One area of exploratory research we need is to understand
the role and importance of a movement. Change was a movement and BO became the leader of
that movement. On our discovery we need to probe for this in terms of what the ideal candidate
represents and the learnings around voters mood, desires, actions wanted, etc. and then spend
time thinking about the packaging of the position and whether it can/should be a movement.
Movements are important and welcomed by Millennials particularly. There is something for us to
truly understand and potentially leverage in a big way, IF the data supports. This also helps to
deflect the negativity toward her versus the movement. It's an interesting strategy but again has to
be authentically true of her/her agenda.
I really look forward to engaging directly with Robby. I believe we are complementary in talent set
and can create a win/win approach (and outcome) together. I like/support his thinking in these
documents.
I owe you email 2 on the communication/cadence for me here that I know will inform the timing of my
meeting with Robby.
Working on that shortly.
Thanks. Wendy

To bolster academic work related to the environment, the University is providing funds to support faculty
scholarship made possible through a generous gift to the GEI. Managed by the GEI steering committee using a
competitive award process, aims are to build the capacity to define and engage compelling questions related to
environment and help shape the conditions society requires to use such knowledge well.
Three categories of grants will be funded:
• Planning Grants (of up to $20,000 each) will fund the development and writing of innovative, ambitious or
collaborative major external grant proposals. Such external proposals may be for the support of research or for
research training, or curriculum or educational program development that produces scholarly products or lasting
programmatic impacts.
• Collaborative Grants (of up to $30,000 each) will fund the efforts of two or more scholars from different
departments or schools at Georgetown who come together to spark innovative directions in their research.
• Partnership Grants (of up to $30,000 each) will fund projects undertaken jointly by Georgetown scholars and
external partners with the promise of contributing to knowledge, building lasting collaborations, and forming
partnerships that lead to independent funding for shared work.
An additional category of grant is available in 2015 in cooperation with the McCourt School Massive Data Institute
seed grant program ( http://mccourt.georgetown.edu/massive-data-institute ).
• GEI-MDI Research Pilot Grants (of up to $30,000 each) will fund projects undertaken by Georgetown faculty
that employ large data sets and associated quantitative and computational approaches to address questions
centrally related to environment. Proposals must involve collaboration between faculty in different departments and
must show promise of contributing knowledge to a question with clear relevance to the environment, building lasting
collaborations, and forming partnerships and preliminary results that lead to external funding.
Please visit The Georgetown Environment Initiative web page ( environment.georgetown.edu ). Click on
the Research & Collaboration link at the top of the page and then select 2015 Call for Proposals which explains
the criteria and application process, and includes a link to a cover sheet that must accompany all submissions.
Information on past awards is also available at environment.georgetown.edu .
Proposals are due no later than Wednesday, March 4th 2015 at 5 PM EST.
Please direct any questions to Prof. Matthew Flamilton ( matthew.hamilton@georgetown.edu ).

Subject: Re: Email
Mr. Lowell,
it’s an honor to virtually meet you. I should preface this by saying I’m a jailhouse lawyer as a result of being around Cheryl and others for so long and so
intensely.
Flere is what we are thinking and hoping you can help us with: this kerfuffle with the Secretary’s email is obviously one we are trying very hard to work through
and to explain to people. Comes down to the right to know, transparency, etc. Which we strongly believe in, and why we turned over her email. Obviously, the
committee investigating the Benghazi attacks have latched on to this, as well as others in and out of Congress who claim this subverted several processes,
including FOIA. We do not agree with that, but in the course of this we’ve discussed an ironic hypocrisy that we believe the public would benefit in knowing
before judging anyone’s intentions and practices:
Congress is exempt from FOIA.
Because Congress exempted itself from FOIA.
Congressional offices do not have to even respond to FOIA requests, let alone fulfill them. I worked on Capitol Hill for seven years and always found it
hypocritical (right before I filed the request in the circular cabinet as they say). So while the Republicans and conservative groups tie the Federal Government
up in stitches working on FOIA requests for my communications with reporters or Cheryl’s with HRC, their own communications with entities such as the RNC
or FOX where they are likely coordinating — or at the very least discussing - is blinded from the public eye.
So we thought one way to demonstrate this would be for someone to submit a series of FOIA requests to a number of Hill offices, specifically, the Chairman of
the Select Committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy, along with his fellow Republicans on the Committee, as well as others such as Darrell Issa, Jason Chaffetz, Lyndsey
Graham — all those who pound their chests about the public’s right to know how their government functions. Just not their 1 /3 of it! And let them respond or
not. My guess is that most requests would come back on letterhead with a standard answer. And btw, there is nothing preventing someone from voluntarily
complying with such a request. Obviously, those responses would be very compelling to the news media.
You can probably guess who we thought that someone could be. Given your stature and career, we can’t think of anyone better to make the point that the
representatives of the people, including the People’s Flouse, does not want the people to see what they are doing.
Flappy to discuss by phone, and thank you for entertaining what you may consider a harebrained idea.
Best,
Philippe

Hi Lauren
I think these are great talking points. Nice job.
A small point, Iowa is a Right to Work state. Maybe something that could be added so the
audience knows she's aware of that when she mentions Wisconsin. Iowa knows the negative
impact of this legislation.
It is correct that AFSCME has endorsed her for each of her runs for public office. I do think it
would be helpful if she specifically thanked them though for their support of her Presidential
race in 2007. They were huge and they were there until the end.
Last, these remarks cover a lot of great ground around labor issues but something that would
helpful to add is on her plan to win the Iowa caucus, the Democratic nomination and the
general election. I think it would be helpful to take a bullet point or two and make that case a
bit to this audience as well. Her organizations strength, the endorsements of Senators Harkin
and Shaheen and Governor Vilsack and her work to earn more labor support.
Hope that helps. Happy to answer questions!

Dear John, been meaning to write this since we heard the news that you
were giving the country another year of service. We are so thrilled and
happy that you are headed over to the White House. I guess your plans
for spending the summer in Truckee have been delayed, right? But if you
do come out for a break now and then please do let us know. I plan to
be in DC more often this year, especially since Christopher is now back
on the mend. He's recovering albeit somewhat slowly and has stepped
down as dean. He's totally focused on raising money for implementing the
recommendations from the Each and Every Child education report that he
co-chaired for Arne Duncan and Obama--we've got some firm commitments
and there are going to be some great opportunities to work with folks in
DC including CAP. i will be teaching this spring immigration (and hope
that we can see some positive action by the time the semester ends,
though it is a very slim hope). Will also be working on our 2020
redistricting effort, food institute and latino civic engagement (while
also coping with beginnings of teenage years!).
We just got back from Cabo San Lucas where we rested, swam and just
relaxed. It was a resort so we really didn't see much of anything but
that was okay by us. How about you~did you and your family enjoy Cabo
(where did you stay?)-By the way, while we were in Cabo we ran into one
of our Berkeley alums who was in the marines, did two tours in Iraq and
then went to law school. Paul is now a colonel in the Reserves- and
works for ViaSat in San Diego. In talking to him we thought of Gabe and
others who are lawyers but also connected in some way to the military
which then led us to think that might be good for our students to hear
about these interesting career opportunities--best way to reach Gabe?
Anyway, hope you and Mary have a great year and don't forget to call us
if there's anything we can do either professionally or personally.
Maria

Re: HRC @ Toner Prize

All, thanks for the helpful feedback. I’ve worked with Jen on a new draft which we think is now in a better place.
Kept a few light jokes at the top, but it no longer feels like a stand-up routine and the rest of the speech
includes more of the points Jen suggested about the challenges facing journalists today. Please send along any
final reactions, and I’m going to share with HRC as well.

Been on a plane.
I'm going to defer to Jen on this.
That said, I think humor is important.
I'm ready to try an email joke , maybe the suggestion of something between her and reporters...
I thought the joke about her daughter nora as editor of paper was cute.
And I'm not as allergic as everyone else to the idea of making fun about her relationship with press (just wouldn't do it so much
of it). I think that would signal a change, perhaps.
Overall, though, I think jen's point about making sure this feels like it's about robin, not HRC, is the most important note. I felt
we were too self-focussed by the time I finished.
Out of power, sending this.

Subject: Re: HRC @ Toner Prize
So, my take is that the best way for HRC to connect with this audience is to show some empathy as opposed self-deprecating
humour which at some level is making the event about her.
10/18/2016

Page 1361
Let's pretend everyone in the audience is a serious, on the level journalist trying to get the story right and cover serious issues in
an absurdly difficult environment where speed and mass appeal are over valued. Have her commend them on how hard they all
work in this difficult environment to tell the facts, unearth important stories (maybe we can reference some good stories on
important issues that we would not know about where it not for nyt and other outlets). Robin is the model for getting to both
substance and telling the human side of the story. Robin hasn't been gone for very long, but it has gotten even harder in the
intervening years to do what she did - think if HRC acknowledges that and says she and all thoughtful people appreciate the
struggle the reporters in the room face, and how impt it is that they keep at it, how needed they really are - think that would go
over really well. The press is the most hated profession and they are all losing heir jobs to 23 yr old bloggers who make listicles
about drinking games at Northwestern. Let's give them an ego boost.
HRC is also a victim of the new speed and click bait above all else, but she doesn't have to bring it back to herself - the audience
will do that on her own.
She should poke fun at herself but I would maybe do it along the lines of how press thinks she doesn't like them, but what a life-
changing revelation it was to her to read the nyt as a young woman (I know she now thinks less of them, but still) and how much
she loves npr and all the wonky stories. I would also do an email joke - maybe some emails between her and the press, I will
think more about that.

Subject: HRC @ Toner Prize
All, here are draft remarks for the Toner Prize event on Monday evening.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 1362
We had talked about a few possible goals for this speech: 1) clear the air a bit with the press, possibly with self-
deprecating humor; 2) explain the important role that serious, fact-based journalism plays in our democracy, as
opposed to gotcha-style politics of personal destruction; 3) and play a little offense on health care given that
Monday is the 5-year anniversary of the ACA.
Of these sections, the first one is where I could really use your input. Do the jokes in here work? Do you have
suggestions for punching any of them up? Robin's husband Peter likes the idea of HRC being funny up there, and
she says she is open to it as well, but we'll have to see if she really goes for it.
Thanks
Dan

Sub'ect' ^9 campaign] Fwd: Voting Rights Advocates Condemn Senate Committee Passage of New Voting
Restrictions
Hopefully some will find this language useful.

Voting Rights Advocates Condemn Senate Committee Passage of New Voting Restrictions
Richmond, VA - The Virginia Senate Privileges and Elections Committee this evening approved SB719, new voting restrictions that could
make it harder for hundreds of thousands of Virginians to cast a ballot. Voting rights advocates sharply condemned the proposals.
"The integrity of our elections is paramount, but the real threat to democracy are politicians who are trying to change the rules to make it
harder for hundreds of thousands of Virginians to vote," said ProgressVA Executive Director Anna Scholl. "Our elections should be free,
fair, and accessible. Mandating eligible voters show a specific kind of ID, which these politicians know many voters don't have, reduces
access to democracy."
Virginia Organizing Chairperson Sandra Cook also spoke out on the restrictive new legislation. "Voting is a sacred right in our democracy.
Requiring a specific ID creates a barrier to access to the polls and it is unfathomable why our legislators would choose to support efforts to
decrease civic participation.
Any new Virginia voter ID requirement would likely be subject to pre-clearance by the federal Department of Justice under Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act. Contrary to insinuations in the hearing by Committee Chairman Mark Obenshain and Senator Tom Garrett that no voter
education would be necessary on new restrictions, the Commonwealth would be required to submit such a plan to DOJ. In 2012, the State
Board of Elections spent close to $2 million dollars educating Virginians about the new voter ID law. Additionally, the state would be required
to provide identification free of charge to any citizen without appropriate photo ID under the new restrictions.

So I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship

actions that protect Dreamers from deportation. And, if Congress refuses to
act, as President I will do everything possible under the law to go even
further. Parents of Dreamers and others with deep ties and contributions to
our communities deserve a chance to stay. We can get this done. We must

Subject: the upcoming Marth 18th ClimateWorks Board meeting in San Fran: one relatively urgent matter, and a few other items.
Hi everyone -
As you probably recall, the next Board meeting will take place in San Francisco, and will follow up on the
Funders Table meetings that will also take place there that week. I have a few requests of all of you ahead of
the meeting. The first is relatively urgent; the others less so.
First, another board member: What would you think of inviting Christiana Figueres to join the Board? It’s a
little unorthodox that I would make such a suggestion by email, but here’s the backstory: Charlotte was in
Europe this past week, where among other things she participated in a discussion with Christiana and others
about her (CF’s) next steps, after she leaves her position in July. That conversation got Charlotte thinking
about moving relatively quickly to discuss amongst ourselves (within our CWF Board) the possibility of
approaching Christiana about a spot on the CWF board. Charlotte and I talked about it today. I personally
think that Christiana would be a fabulous addition, and we’d be lucky to have her. You may have other
perspectives, so I’m inviting you to weigh in. The reason I’m bringing this up by email rather than in Executive
Session at the Board meeting itself is timing: Christiana will be in San Francisco during the week of the
Funders Table, and will likely be leaving town by Friday. (She has a scheduling conflict and had to decline our
invitation to join our dinner on Thursday.) If we thought that it were a good idea to raise the topic with CF,
Charlotte would be able to do so during sidebar discussions prior to our meeting. That would only happen,
though, if we all think it’s a good idea in general and if we think it’s a good idea to jump so quickly. If you think
it might be a good idea but you’d like time to discuss it, then of course we will take whatever time is needed to
have that discussion. And some of you may have reasons to think it’s not a good idea at all, so please speak
up. In any event, this is a
Second, please get your toasts ready! This will be Bill Reilly’s last board meeting as ‘Emeritus Chair’ (after
which he’ll transition to being invited to special events but will not attend regular board meetings). At the
dinner on Thursday evening ahead of the Friday Board meeting, we’ll have a chance to celebrate his service
to ClimateWorks from its Day One. I’m hoping that each of you might be willing to say a very brief word of two
to honor him. Carol, if you think it’s appropriate to mention something about his prior service at the Packard
Foundation, feel free. And John, if you think there’s something special to say about his government service,
feel free to add that too. The Board dinner will also include representatives from the Funders Table
foundations, so I think we’ll want to make these relatively brief but still memorable comments.

Third, at our Board meeting, we’re anticipating two possible topics to discuss informally during lunch. John:
would you be willing, once again, to share your thoughts about the current state of affairs on the various
stumps? And John and Larry: would you comment on the implications of the Supreme Court’s stay of the
Clean Power Plan? I’ll chime in with my own two cents after you, but I think it would be really interesting to
hear your legal perspective, Larry, and then your policy/political view, John. I’ll be happy to share what I know/
hear about from the perspective of states’ actions.
Ok, that’s it. Sorry for the long message.

Statement Regarding Subpoena Compliance and Server Determination by Former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton
Washington, DC — Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy today issued the following statement
regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s response to the committee’s subpoena. She failed to
produce a single new document and refused to relinquish her server to a neutral, detached third party for an
independent review of potential public records:

“After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a
single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the
Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis.
“We learned today, from her attorney, Secretary Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and
permanently delete all emails from her personal server. While it is not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton
decided to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision after October 28,
2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the
Department.
“Not only was the Secretary the sole arbiter of what was a public record, she also summarily decided to delete
all emails from her server ensuring no one could check behind her analysis in the public interest.”
“In light of the Secretary’s unprecedented email arrangement with herself and her decision nearly two years after
she left office to permanently delete all emails and because the equities at stake involve not only those of the
Select Committee and Congress more broadly, but also those of the American people and their right to the full
record of her tenure as secretary of State, we will work with the leadership of the House of Representatives as
the Committee considers next steps. But it is clear Congress will need to speak with the former Secretary about
her email arrangement and the decision to permanently delete those emails.”

Sorry to be offline for a bit, have a family issue today.
I think we should hold and put the statement out in the am so as to not jam the committee and also not
look like burying on Friday night.
Two issues:
1) I think we should add an opening sentence that restates the fact that she fully complied with all record
keeping requirements, make clear she has always acted within guidelines. Nick -maybe you can just use
language we have used before.
2) David - do you we need to give the Committee a heads up tomorrow am before we release the
statement and letter?

Added Jen’s suggestion about State and took the long version of Philippe’s edit as 1 think it’s worth the extra words. Here’s the
final:
Secretary Clinton has already turned all of her work emails over to the State Department, and the Department has been responsive
to the committee, and will continue to be. Representatives of Secretary Clinton’s office have been in touch with the committee
and the State Department to make clear that she would like her emails made public as soon as possible and that she’s ready and
willing to come and appear herself for a hearing open to the American public.

Subject: Draft Gowdy Letter
A note of caution on the "appear herself." Since November, I've said she was ready (on appropriate notice) to
come up and testify about Benghazi once, in public. The R's have dragged their feet, using document production as
an excuse. Recently, Gowdy has said he wanted her to testify twice, the first time about emails, maybe by
deposition. My response to Gowdy's staff has been: she'll come once, in public— you can ask her about emails
then, if you want. I would hate for us to say something that might give them leverage on a two-appearance push.
I attach a draft of the Gowdy letter, but it's very near final. Please don't send outside the group.
I await advice on release. Philippe has raised a concern about sending it to Gowdy, then immediately releasing it
to the public. Since Gowdy released his server request last Friday very quickly, he may release our letter as soon
as he gets it. I'm agnostic.

How about this, then? And should we add in that she has asked state to make her emails public since letter to
Gowdy notes state's role in approving release of emails?
Secretary Clinton has already turned all of her work emails over to the State Department, and the Department has
been responsive to the committee, and will continue to be. Representatives of Secretary Clinton's office have
been in touch with the committee (SHOULD WE ADD " AND THEY STATE DEPT?") to make clear that she would like

Subject: [big campaign] Media Monitoring Report - Morning 05/13/08
Main Topics: West Virginia Primary, Natural Disasters
Summary of Shift: The wrath of Mother Nature continued to dominate news coverage. The death toll from yesterday's
Chinese earthquake could top 12,000, wildfires rage in Florida, flooding in Maryland and Virginia is causing trouble, and the
clean up after the Myanmar cyclone continues.
The West Virginia Primary eclipsed all other political stories this morning. John McCain received little coverage.
President Bush departs for Israel today, which is the first step in his Middle Eastern tour. The price of oil continues its
record-breaking streak.
Highlights:
1) CNN's John Roberts characterizes McCain's GI Bill alternative as "far less generous"
2) Obama and Clinton: McCain "does not go far enough" to combat climate change
3) CBS Local News highlights McCain is different from Bush on climate change
Clips:
Highlight #1
Roberts Characterizes McCain 's GI Bill alternative as "far less generous " (CNN 05/13/08 06:23am)
JOHN ROBERTS: A war brewing on Capitol Hill today over educating our veterans. A new GI Bill, essentially guarantees a
full ride scholarship for service members to any instate public university as long as they serve at least three years. Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama are on board but John McCain opposes it. Floating an alternative bill that's far less generous"
Highlight #2
Obama and Clinton: McCain "does not go far enough" (CNN 05/13/08 08:24am)
KIRAN CHETRY : Senator John McCain looking for some crossover appeal by highlighting his plan to combat climate
change.
[Clip of McCain's OR environment speech]
CHETRY: By 2020 McCain says that his plan would cut greenhouse gas emissions where they were in 1990 both Senators
Clinton and Obama say that that just doesn't go far enough.
Highlight #3
CBS Local News Highlights McCain is different from Bush on Climate Change (CBS-WUSA-DC 6:09am)
ANDREA ROANE: On the Republican side, Senator John McCain is unveiling his plan to combat global warming, a big
difference the candidate says from the Bush administration. Senator McCain called for caps on carbon emissions and he
asked for China and India to join the effort. McCain will be in Washington State today.

could do a SC version with just her visits there and 'When did you last see Sen. Sanders?'
But for the national version, the other knock on Hillary, unfair as it might be, is the idea that she feels
she's 'entitled'. An ad showing all her hard work and stumping not only hits Sanders on his Johnny-
come-lately stuff (she's stumped for 506 democrats, he's run against 23 - made up stats, but you get my
drift) but actually shows that far from feeling 'entitled' Hillary's hard, hard work for the Democrats started
in college and has continued every year and decade since. She is the least 'entitled' person imaginable
compared to an in-it-for-myself opponent who joined your party last bloody year!

If one campaign slogan is "I'm with her" I think a corollary could be "....because she's with us".
Second and final ad idea, which is a negative on Sanders
SHE'S WITH US
Succession of archive shots of H stumping for recognizable democrats, the more left wing the

Dear Michael,
As you will know from Arnold I am a committed Republican (or would be if I had the

much rather have your girl Hillary.
Anyway, the politician in me thinks Lena Dunham and Gloria Steinem are nails on a
chalkboard to the average American woman AND I think Hillary is not capitalizing on
the yearning that we have to see a woman as President properly.
Her competence and intelligence are beyond doubt, her problem is warmth.
If I may, here is an ad I would love to see run;

EPC heard from the commercial fishing permit holders in this region- they wrote letters to Secretary
Vilsack saying NO to coal mining in the Copper-Bering River watersheds. EPC is approaching the final
run to retire the Bering River coalfields. The Korean Alaska Development Corporation is still a willing
seller, and Theodore Roosevelt IV, Gifford Pinchot III and Jane Goodall are in our circle to help and
join with the people of this region to make this happen. Copper River Wild Salmon Forever! Get in

Word is that the Army Corps of Engineers will let Cordovan's know by year-end whether they approve
the application to build the road and deep water port at Shepard Point. Along with many community
members, EPC has been monitoring this project for over 18 years. Improved oil spill response for
Cordova will be better sen/ed by a "practicable, environmentally less damaging and available"
location. That important statement is the National Environmental Policy Act terminology that will
determine the decision.

I sent a correction yesterday to what the policy wason foreign contributors - it was not a blanket no foreign
contributions (though that is what happened in practice); it was no foreign contributions for CGI; for other
initiatives like CHAI (Aids), CCI (climate change), CHDI (development in Africa), it required
approval by DOS/WH to accept NEW contributions (or significant increase in an existing one).
So question would be - if a country like Germany decides to contribute to funding aids drug that the foundation
facilitates through a low-cost consortium, is answer no, the Foundation wouldn't do it or yes, it would and would
immediately disclose it - that is more likely situation facing Foundation.

Based on our conversation earlier this evening, below is the statement with the Clintons’ feedback that
we can start to push out in the morning. Thanks again to everyone for talking this through today.
"Like other global charities, the Clinton Foundation receives support from individuals, organizations and
governments from all over the world. Contributions are made because of a strong belief that the
Foundation's programs improve the lives of millions of people around the globe. The Clinton Foundation
has a record of transparency that goes above what is required of U.S. charities, including peer
organizations. This includes the voluntary disclosure of contributions on the Foundation's
website. Should Secretary Clinton decide to run for office, we will continue to ensure the Foundation's
policies and practices regarding support from international partners are appropriate, just as we did when
she served as Secretary of State.”

1. Lots of AFL-CIO internal drama around the AFT endorsement this week. AFSCME, 1AM, IAFF holding
strong. The contingent of unions upset with AFT include: ATU, APWU, CWA and Nurses (these unions are on
my Sanders watch list).
2. Need to lock down 1AM and AFSCME for endorsement. There are two events we need to schedule to secure
their endorsement.
1AM Executive Board Meeting
1AM is letting me know if August 13th is a option for HRC. Their request was August 14th. I will know Monday.
This event would be HRC accepting their endorsement.
AFSCME Small Member Roundtable-lowa
The last step in AFSCME's endorsement process, we need to lock down. AFSCME's board meets to endorse
HRC on September 10-1 1th. In order for the endorsement to happen I need 60 minutes in Iowa with AFSCME
members and HRC in August. Can this be scheduled around another Iowa trip in August? AFSCME is after me
for the date.
3. Next week AFT and IAFF-1 have scheduled two days of in person meetings with the H4A team next week.
Tuesday, July 21st 1 1-3pm AFT Senior Staff
Wednesday, July 22nd 1-5pm IAFF Senior staff
Please stop by if you can! Both days I have scheduled for them to meet with Communications/Digital, Policy,
Political, States and Delegate Selection. IAFF also requested a meeting with Advance. (*Robby please note
dinner with IAFF on 7/22)
4. AFL-CIO Executive Council Prep-Please let me know if I can do anything to assist. I flagged some issues for
your attention around TPP (Malaysia), Cadillac Tax and HRC statement yesterday $15 in NH. Those are issues
areas I think will come up.
5. SEIU-I've touched base with Peter Colavito with SEIU Inti. They would like to know about California dates for
their home care event. In order to circle back with Local 1 1 99, John would you be willing to touch base with
George? I'm trying to think of a creative way to keep them with us while we move the home care event with HRC
to California. Advice is welcomed!
6. NEA New Hampshire-I've kept in touch with our New Hampshire team and HRC is still on track to receive the
NH NEA State endorsement, likely August 4th. This will be the first endorsement after AFT.

HRC met with the United Farm Workers (UFW) and earned their endorsement by the end of the meeting. Julie captured this unexpected moment on
video— it was special! We'll be working with UFW to discuss the roll out plan. They've asked their members to hold the news.
• She reiterated her commitment to fight for CIR with a pathway to citizenship; protect and implement DACA and DAPA; and explore other ways
to protect undocumented people via executive action ("create new categories").
• She stated support for UFW's legislative proposal to expand overtime pay for farm workers in CA, so overtime is av. after 40 hours/week or 8
hours/day.
• She was asked to help in the dispute between the UFW and CA-based Gerawan Farming. She said she's do everything possible. After the meeting,
she had a private conversation with Arturo and expressed caution b/c of campaign.
• She was asked about healthcare for the undocumented community. Stated her support for all undocumented people to be able to buy in the
exchange, but acknowledged that most people don't have the resources to afford it. She also said she would work to make the exchanges available
to all, including subsidies, but immediately linked it to CIR. Also wants to work with states like CA and the UFW to explore other ways to provide
HC
• Re Central American kids, she said government funded legal counsel for UCs and working with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to take down
drug cartels and build the region.
• She was asked if she would appoint Obama to the SCOTUS. She said he would be a very good candidate, but she wouldn't have that power., .and he
probably wants a normal life. It was a fun exchange bet. her and the farm workers.

Just met with the farm workers for an hour here in Palo Alto. Very positive experience. I'll let Lorella expand,
but from outside the room there was a lot of clapping and cheering, and chanting of Si Se Peude.
Two SC radio interviews today:
1) We did a repeat with Cynthia Hardy that ended up being a very brief conversation HRC joined in progress
about health disparities in communities of color.
2) She did a slightly tougher but ultimately very strong interview with Judi Gatson of 103.1 KISS FM. She
asked HRC about her recent comments on not being in this for herself, and said that some doubt that. The
answer was very strong, and invoked a little reflection on sexism. She asked about youth, but the framing was
interesting, which was that BdB and Eric Garner's mom endorse, but children of BdB and Eric Garner's sister
do not. The other question most of note was Judi observing that she hears people in the community say that
HRC embraces Obama only to pander to the AfAm population. Interesting that that broke through, (Stephanie
if you talked to her I'd be curious to hear more about how often she's hearing that), HRC's answer was good,
she said that Senator Sanders claiming that was offensive, that she nominated him at the convention,
campaigned for him, worked for him for 4 years, and that it "affects" her "personally" to hear Sanders and his
supporters say that stuff.
Finance event in Atherton was largely uneventful. She did take questions. She dinged Uber when talking
about the Kalamazoo shooter, which thrilled many in the audience here in Silicon Valley, I'm sure. No
encryption questions.
One more finance event and then we're off to LA to spend the night.

Good live interview with Univision local this morning. Bernie was supposed to be on right after us but bailed
late last night. She did her pitch, talked about immigration, no fireworks.
Left there and dos two back of house visits, Caesars and Harrah's. Bernie was at Harrah's immediately before
us, stayed 5 minutes and left. We spent about 25 shaking hands and telling people where to caucus.
Left there and went to 2 caucus sites, the second of which she's working the (long) line at as we speak.

We visited the home of Vicki Early, a retired California utility company employee who moved to Nevada to buy
her first home, and installed solar panels on the roof, which she could afford with the Public Utility Commission
offsets on her fixed income until they got rolled back. She and her boyfriend Tyrone showed HRC the panels
in the back yard and told her story. HRC had the press come in closer to listen and then dos brief remarks of
her own on the importance of this issue for people like Vicki. Pretty great stuff.
Next we went to Youthbuild, an organization with a Nevada chapter that builds houses for Habitat for
Humanity. We walked through a big warehouse where HRC individually met about 15 workers. She was
intrigued by how most of them found the place, which was through Craigslist, and probed them on what they
were learning and what they wanted to do next. Most wanted to continue in the building trades. She spoke
briefly, and invited the Youthbuild and Habitat folks to speak as well.
We've also squeezed in two SC radio interviews. Both went well, talked about the Clyburn's endorsement,
support for President Obama, her plans on college affordability.
Headed to the town hall with high school students now.

Women and Families Roundtable:
Very engaging discussion, topics ranged from early childhood education to food deserts to Flint. HRC brought
up Flint proactively, and a woman stood up and said that she had family there, appreciated HRC saying that,
her work there, and that her assessment was exactly right. Audience was diverse across the board, lots of
millennials and lots of young people who work for various NGOs and advocacy groups with a lot of very good
questions and passionate comments. At the end HRC commented on her life's work, figuring out how to make
difference in people's lives as opposed to promising them the moon, and making sure lives are better when
you're done than when you started. Wasn't too hot but poignant and noticeable following 45 minutes of
discussing the importance of reading to your children every day.
We're now going to divert course and make a pit stop at a woman's house who has been affected by the
Nevada Public Utility Commissions retroactive rate changes on people selling solar back to the grid. Pool is

Woke up in Milwaukee this morning and did a fundraiser at Harbor House. Very pretty setting just outside of
downtown on a partially frozen bright blue Lake Michigan. She gave a pretty standard stump, no Os, and we
headed out.
South Carolina was quite something. Good crowd of about 450/500 at Denmark-Olar Elementary School
(home of the Vikings). HRC stuck largely to her remarks and outlined her $125 billion plan to improve
underserved communities, and took questions on just about everything: social security, health care multiple
times, body cameras, Flint, homeless vets, Trump, student loans, who she's pick for VP, and a little girl who
gave her a drawing that said on it: "I'm not bossy I have leadership skills." It was a very engaged, high-energy

affair.
Following the town hall and a long ropeline, we did 2 TV stand ups and a print interview. Discussion in both
revolved around race relations, the state of the race, and education, which HRC discussed at length in a
dilapidated older locker room with paint people off the walls in the background.
Our print interviewer, Princess Williams, was really impressive. She won an award last year for best student
journalist in a college under 5000 students from the South Carolina Press Association. She was nervous but
did a great job, asked HRC about education, what we can't do beyond government programs to help level the
playing field, attracting young voters, and what life is like off the campaign trail.
We're in the air now headed back north to St. Paul for the Humphrey-Mondale Dinner.

Two more things to add:
We did a radio interview with Greg and the morning buzz. Like the first local NH hit this morning, it was all
about NH and allowed her to talk about how grateful she is to the people here.
Also just did a 1 0 minute satellite hit with Al Sharpton. They talked about heading to Nevada and her
strategy there, he asked her how she would distinguish he civil rights record, then Flint, millennial women,
voting rights, and a question about Cruz's comments on Flint and Katrina both being cities with crisis and
two very liberal mayors. She didn't engage most of the answer and at the end said "that's not the world I live
in, and not the world I'd govern as President."
Strong interview in substance and tone.

We made an impromptu stop at Dunkin Donuts. Press came in briefly,
took some photos of HRC taking some photos, and departed. We stayed
and ordered some food, most of which was stolen from us and consumed
in the limo as I understand it. We did manage some coffees in the
staff van, which was game changing.
Then off to Dover. Another great showing by the organizing team, as
well as by Carly Fiorina's husband, who greeted the Secretary
enthusiastically. You'd never know his wife calls for HRC's

We just went to the Ward 10 polling location at Parker Varney School
in Manchester.
HRC arrived to volunteers chanting "I believe that she will win!" and
worked the crowd. She shook about 75 hands and took lots of photos,
and then did an impromptu stand up with the morning show anchors.
They asked her about how she's feeling and expectations, she just
talked about how excited she was to be out talking to people and her
love for New Hampshire.

Now we're in Nashua now headed to another location and on the phone

More to come.

HRC and WJC stopped by Chez Vachon for breakfast. Nice greasy spoon
with a French Canadian twist. HRC and WJC worked the tables, ran into
some longtime supporters, took a lot of selfies. President Clinton
was excited to see his photo still on the wall from when he visited
last.
Dan O'Neil, former Dodd and O'Malley supporter but '92 Clinton
supporter joined them for omelettes. Following breakfast, some more
selfie-taking ensued as did a conversation with a couple of vets.
Restaurant felt overwhelmingly supportive.
We went back to the hotel and taped 6 TV interviews with local and
Boston affiliates. Lots about the state of the race here and the
weather. Most asked about Warren which she handled well, a couple of
transcripts questions and a good exchange with FOX on sexism in
politics.
From there we went to Manchester Community College. Crowd of about
1 100, she did a few things differently, including calling Bernie out
for accepting DSCC money that came in part from Wall Street.
We taped Rachel Maddow after the event. It opened with the staffing
question and then covered the waterfront. ..Flint, trust, attacks,
transcripts. We let it go so Rachel would spend more time on the
positive which she did.
After Maddow we went to the Velcro factory. She went table to table
in their cafeteria which looked like a Johnny Rockets, shaking hands,
sometimes sitting down for brief conversations. Press pool got some
good stuff.
We're now back at the Radisson waiting to depart for WMUR where we'll
do a quick live hit on WMUR, she'll simply make a one minute pitch to
voters direct to camera.

HRC met with mayor and an usher briefly, and she said that she fight
to keep the lights from dimming on this.
The crowd was extraordinarily supportive. Her remarks were brief
(12/15) but strong, with powerful response.
Afterwards she took photos, she did a very quick local standup in the
sanctuary (all about Flint), met with a group of local pastors and
went into the stakeholders/electeds meeting with the mayor.
On the way to the airport we called the editor of the National

Flint and their being many other Flints. Transcript to follow.

Subject: CHAI fund and advisory board
You probably already are aware but just to be sure: yesterday in the CHAI board meeting, Ira discussed the formation of an
advisory board for CHAI - he said he is targeting 10 people to each give $500k per year for 3 years. He mentioned the names
below. He also said he is looking to do a series of dinners on the west coast, east coast, and overseas to raise money for a CHAI
Innovation Fund that would "invest" in projects / businesses that CHAI deems worthy. He said the first dinner is on west coast
with 30 people and hosted by Christian Anthony who he said he found via the Brown University alumni network. Given the
enormous range of things that Ira is proposing the Fund be empowered to invest in, it occurred to me that IF the organization is
comfortable with the creation of such a Fund bearing WJC's name (via CHAI), then why not have CF do it, so that CF can decide
whether to invest in CHAI projects or also in other things like a farm in Africa, etc - and also to give WJC better control of it? The
proposed CHAI Innovation Fund seems poised to go well beyond what we would consider to be the core traditional work of CHAI
on HIV/AIDS, malaria, etc (at least based on the investment examples in the documents Ira provided) and I therefore just
wondered why we'd cede this to CHAI to do/control. It's probably safe to assume that any Fund that bears WJC's name will attract
"investors" or donors or whatever we call them. Maybe I am over-thinking this, but just wanted to brainstorm aloud and I'm
happy to drop this if it's not worth discussing further. Thanks, Ami
NAMES IRA MENTIONED FOR CHAI ADVISORY BOARD (I probably am misspelling these):
Craig Colgate at Pegasus Capital (Ira found via Brown U)
Bob Selander (former CEO of Mastercard)
Tood Fisher, Chief Admin Officer at KKR (also via Brown U)
Bill Shuster at Evercore
Bob Mancini, CEO of Cogentics (formerly at Goldman)

May 17 Brown v Board of Education Separate
Is Inherently Unequal and Violates Equal
Protection of the Laws US Supreme Court
A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court held in Brown v Board of Education on May 17, 1954, as
follows:
Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local
governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for
education both demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our
democratic society. It is required in the performance of our most basic public
responsibilities, even service in the armed forces. It is the very foundation of good
citizenship. Today it is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural
values, in preparing him for later professional training, and in helping him to
adjust normally to his environment. In these days, it is doubtful that any child may
reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an
education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a
right which must be made available to all on equal terms.
We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public
schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other
"tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of
equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does.
To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of
their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that
may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.
We conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of "separate but
equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.
Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the
actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of,
deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth
Amendment.
Brown v Board of Education , 347 U.S. 483 (1954).
Brown v Board was the result of decades of legal strategizing by black and Latino organizations. The
Civil Rights Revolution includes attorneys taking cases to court, ground breaking judicial decisions,
grass roots organizing, legislation by Congress, action by the President, implementation by
administrative agencies, and people voting to support civil rights. The Civil Rights Movement is a
paradigm for social change. Celebrate the Civil Rights Revolution: The Struggle Continues...

For Review: Cuba Speech - Wednesday evening draft
2015-07-29 Cuba - 9pm.docx
Team, attached please find a draft of HRC's Cuba speech for Friday in Miami. We make the case for lifting the
embargo and pursuing a strategy of engagement, and then stepping back to offer a vision for U.S. leadership in
the Americas and a broader contrast on foreign policy with the Republicans. In this draft we don't hit Rubio or
Jeb by name, so that's one question to consider.
HRC is excited about this one and thinks we're in a pretty good place, so that's encouraging. Would be great to
hear any comments or concerns on Thursday morning.
Also, most of you have met our new speechwriter Megan Rooney, who wrote for HRC for four years before
going to work for President Obama. I am super excited to have her on board and I'm sure you'll soon love her
as much as I do. Later this evening she'll be sending around an Urban League draft.
Thanks as always
Dan

Recognizing that your schedule is insane, I was hoping you might be willing to carve out a little time, by
phone or in person, over the coming weeks to talk.
From various conversations I've had (and what I've read) I understand that staffing up has begun for a
potential HRC run and I wanted to discuss with you whether there may be a role for me. Below is a copy of

Look forward to chatting.

Dear Friends:
This week, when the Miami Herald released its survey of 400 registered voters in Miami-
Dade County, it contained startling results, including a finding that the Cuba issue
is not having much effect on Florida's race for governor. (This is not something you
would have guessed reading the Herald's headline: Cuban voters weigh Crist down in
Miami-Dade T
A few days ago, Public Policy Polling
supporting an end to the embargo.
released a poll showing a majority of Floridians
Next week, the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University will release
results from its 2014 survey of Cuban Americans in South Florida.
So, there's a flood of new data. Since public opinion research had a rocky week in
Washington - just ask Rep. Eric Cantor, or, even better, ask his pollster - we thought it
would be a good time to look at recent surveys on Cuba policy and think about how public
opinion affects public policy.
If foreign policy issues turned less on how politicians calculated their domestic political
interests and more on how public servants weighed the national interest, U.S. policy
toward Cuba would have changed long ago.
After all, Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War before the invention of the Internet. U.S.
intelligence agencies, in a report published in 1997 , said "Cuba does not pose a significant
military threat to the U.S. or to other countries in the region." Foreign policy elites -
including diplomats known to fear communist influence in the region - recently united
behind a letter to President Obama urging meaningful changes in the policy.
As with national experts, public opinion in the U.S. settled the Cuba debate decades ago.
Since 1974, as Gallup reported, "a majority of Americans have consistently said they
support establishing diplomatic ties with Cuba, with the exception of one poll conducted in
1996."
Yet, the policy, conceived in the Cold War, is largely unchanged. This produces truly
loopy outcomes - consider a recent House-passed defense bill that prohibits U.S.
cooperation with Cuba on efforts to control drug trafficking despite Cuba's exemplary
record in this area - along with the more troubling and continuing U.S. efforts to
overthrow Cuba's government.
Cuba continues to be, as the Atlantic Council says, "the third rail of Latin American
foreign policy in the United States," thanks, as the data consistently shows, to inaccurate
positioning of Florida's importance in electoral politics.

Until the 2008 presidential campaign, when Senator Obama promised to reopen family
travel to Cuba, and expressed his willingness to negotiate with Cuba's government , no
serious candidate - Democrat or Republican - promised anything less to Florida voters than
complete loyalty to the Cuba sanctions agenda. Until former Secretary Clinton released her
memoir last week , no serious contender offered to undo the embargo before declaring
for the White Flouse.
The received wisdom for standing behind a failed policy was simple. Candidates were told
they could not win office, nationally or locally in Florida, without carrying the Cuban
American community, because it was resolutely opposed to normalizing relations with
Cuba's government.
That is why we suggest paying close attention to the data released this year, this week,
and next Tuesday.
In February, the Atlantic Council released a comprehensive survey that found substantial
support nationally for normalizing relations with Cuba (56% to 35%) but even greater
support in Florida for re-engaging. Floridians supported normalizing relations by a 63%
to 30% margin, and approved of eliminating all restrictions on travel by 67% to 29%.
Public Policy Polling , which conducted a Florida survey this month, recorded 53% of
Floridians, including 64% of independents and 57% of Democrats, supporting an end to
the embargo with only 22% of respondents in support of maintaining the embargo.
But the bigger news came in a Miami Herald poll , which tested voter preferences in
Miami-Dade County for Florida's upcoming Governor's race. As we previously reported,
former Governor Charlie Crist astounded observers when he called for ending the embargo
and announced plans to visit Cuba in the midst of his campaign against the incumbent
Governor Rick Scott.
Crist's announcements have had no effect on the state's most feared voters. Despite
losing the county's Hispanic vote, the Herald reports that Crist leads Governor Scott by a
47%-35% margin; sustained by 84% support among African-American voters, 58%
support among "White Anglo" voters, and a 49% to 49% split among voters of Cuban
descent born in the U.S. More telling, 67% of all respondents said that Crist's Cuba
position had no impact on their vote.
Given the link between public opinion in Florida and public policy on Cuba in Washington,
these results are really important.
***
In recent years, hardliners have demonstrated they will not give up the perception of their
lock on Florida's votes without a fight. In 2008, they predicted Obama would lose Florida
when he promised to restore family travel. He won 35% of the Cuban vote, won Florida,
won the election, kept his promise, and family visits surged from 50,000 in 2004
to nearly half-a-million in 20 1 3 .
When the President restored people-to-people travel in 201 1, Capitol Hill Cubans called it
a sure way to lose votes. After he won Florida by a larger margin in 2012 than he did 4
years before, and split the Cuban vote with Governor Romney, Mauricio Claver-
Carone said, "I have a problem with exit polls," and his organization later issued a report
aimed at disproving Cuban American support for the President. When the Atlantic Council
poll demonstrated vast support in Florida for changing the policy, he and others denounced
it as a push-poll.
This is why we're eager to see the 2014 results from the Florida International University
10/18/2016

poll , the longest-running survey of public opinion in the Cuban American communities of
South Florida. When FIU began its project in 1991, 87% of Cuban Americans favored
keeping the embargo in place without changes. When FIU released its last survey in 201 1,
that figure had fallen to 56%. We won't be surprised if the 2014 results - in line with these
other findings - show even less support among Cuban Americans for the embargo.
***
Two points in conclusion. At a time when more than 400,000 Cuban Americans are
returning to the U.S. after visiting their families on the island each year, it's hard to imagine
that they are unaffected by what they see. As these visits affirm that travel to Cuba helps
their families, Cuban American support for further reforms in the policy, in our judgment,
is likely to grow. So, we predict more positive movement in the FIU poll (thanks, we
should say, to President Obama's family travel policy).
Alternatively, if you prefer to believe that nothing has changed, you can consult
the Capitol Hill Cubans website . There, you will find a presentation from 2009 showing
that the existing embargo policies are strongly supported by the Florida Cuban-American
community. Keep in mind, the analysis is based on a survey by McLaughlin and
Associates, Eric Cantor's pollster.
Still, you can't predict polls. With you, we'll wait to see what the Florida International
University survey says next Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton elaborates on position against embargo
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) Thursday, June 12 about her book Hard Choices. Richard N. Haass, president of
CFR, led the discussion. Among other topics, Clinton talked about the revelation in her
book that she advocated privately for loosening the embargo on Cuba as Secretary of
State.
Secretary Clinton offered several reasons for supporting changes in U.S. policy, including
her belief that the U.S. needs to "change the psychology of this issue." She said that
moving on the embargo would eliminate the opportunity for Cuba and other Latin
American countries to place blame on the U.S. for the stagnation of U.S. -Cuba relations.
She also measured the impact this would have on the foreign relations of the U.S. in
general:
"Probably the most important long-term commitment this country can make is to
a much closer, more constructive relationship within our own hemisphere. And if
we do that, we will be much better positioned to deal with all else that goes on in
the world. It will be difficult to get it to the point I would like to see it unless we
clear away the accusations against the United States over the embargo. "
In a report on Secretary Clinton's "Hard Choices" interview on NPR, reporter Frank
James sees Clinton's public opposition to the embargo as "something close to a sea change
in American politics."
The Havana Times suggests that U.S. policy toward Cuba could become a major issue
in the 20 1 6 presidential election if the contest is between likely candidates Sen. Marco
Rubio (FL) and Clinton. Rubio criticized Clinton's support of normalization, saying, "Now
we see how far Secretary Clinton came to undermine the defenders of democracy in Cuba
to try to help the Castro regime get more dollars with which to continue their repression."
The CFR discussion of Cuba starts at the 34:50 mark of this video
Poll measures Miami-Dade voters' opinions on Cuba, governor's race
In the same week that Public Policy Polling released results from its survey showing
that 53% of Florida voters want to end the embargo and only 22% want to continue it,
the Miami Herald/Nuevo Herald released its own poll, looking only at voters in Miami-
Dade County. It focuses on Cuba policy and examines the impact on the preferences of
Cuban- American voters, following the announcement by gubernatorial candidate Charlie
Crist that he plans to visit Cuba and supports lifting the embargo.
The poll, conducted June 3-5 by Bendixen & Amandi International, sampled 400 Miami-
Dade registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percentage points. Overall, Crist
leads the incumbent Governor Rick Scott by a margin of 47-35%, with 18% undecided.
To put these numbers in perspective, Crist led Scott in March 2013 by a margin of 50%
to 34% according to a survey conducted by Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
The Herald reports that Crist's positions on Cuba are hurting him politically among certain
survey respondents in the Miami-Dade electorate:
"Cuban American voters, who accounted for more than half of Hispanics polled
and dominate the county’s political power structure, back Scott over Crist 58-30
percent. Hispanics overall account for 55 percent of the county's 1.3 million
registered voters. "
However, the Herald also reports, "67 percent say Crist's Cuba position makes no
difference in their vote between him and Gov. Rick Scott." In its demographic
breakdowns, the poll shows that Crist has a sizable lead among blocs identified as "White
Anglo" and "Black," and among voters ages 18-64. Scott leads in the crucial senior citizen

demographic, by a margin of 7%. Seniors comprise a quarter of Miami-Dade voters. The
candidates are tied among U.S.-born Cuban voters.
Five Days for the Cuban Five presents concert, rally, videoconference
A series of planned events called "Five Days for the Cuban Five," held from June 4-11,
included a concert by hip hop group Dead Prez on Friday, June 6 and a rally outside the
White House on Saturday, June 7. The White House rally drew 500 people to Pennsylvania
Ave., reports the International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban Five .
Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, the two released members of the Cuban Five,
participated from Havana in a videoconference with U.S. panelists on Tuesday, June 10,
reports EFE . The panelists, along with Rene and Fernando, said that they felt
encouraged by recent pushes for change in U.S. policy toward Cuba, but emphasized that
now the U.S. government needs to act.
State Dept, condemns detentions in Cuba
The U.S. Department of State issued a statement on Thursday condemning Cuba's
government for its recent detentions of pro-democracy activists. The State Department
said that among the detained were Jorge Luis Garcia Perez ("Antunez") and his wife, Yris
Perez Aguilera; Berta Soler, spokesperson for Ladies in White; and Angel Moya, Soler's
husband. In addition, journalist Roberto de Jesus Guerra claimed that a "plainclothes agent"
beat him, UPI reports. Over forty dissidents in total were detained, and most were
released the same day.
One day earlier, Florida Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen issued a statement about the
arrests, which read in part: "The Obama administration must immediately condemn this
new repressive wave and stop providing concessions to the Castro regime."
U.S. seismologists visit Santiago
Experts from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) visited Santiago de Cuba from
Wednesday, June 1 1 to Friday, continuing USGS's cooperation with Cuba on earthquake
tracking, reported Progreso Weekly . The group toured Oriente University and Cuba's
National Seismological Service and met with Bladimir Moreno Toiran, the director of
Cuba's National Center for Seismological Research, the agency of the Ministry of Science
that monitors earthquakes.
Cuba is prone to earthquakes because it lies atop the Oriente fault line. The largest
earthquake in Cuba this year was a 5.0 magnitude quake on January 9.
"Coincidentally," Progreso reported, " a 3.2-magnitude tremor shook the area as the
Americans arrived for their meeting with Moreno."
CUBA’S FOREIGN RELATIONS
United Arab Emirates will open embassy in Havana
The United Arab Emirates will open its own embassy in Cuba, reports Cuba Standard .
The UAE government will also be opening embassies in Angola and Mozambique, as well
as a consulate in Toronto.
While statistics vary, there are approximately 104 foreign embassies and consulates in
Cuba. The U.S., which does not recognize Cuba's government, signed a bilateral
agreement with Cuba during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, which permits both
countries to operate "Interests Sections" in Havana and Washington.

Editors of Catholic magazine Espacio Laical resign
Roberto Veiga and Lenier Gonzalez Mederos, editors of the Catholic magazine Espacio
Laical, announced their departure from the publication, reports the Associated Press .
The two men have edited the magazine, a project of the Havana Archdioceses' Felix Varela
Cultural Center, for a decade. Veiga and Gonzalez announced their departure in an email to
colleagues and friends:
"We want to inform you that after a decade of hard work, in which we sought to
help build roads for prosperity and stability in our country, we have been dismissed
as Editor and Vice-editor of the magazine...It's been a pleasure being able to share
with you during this time, clinging to the belief that building a better Cuba is
possible. Without you this beautiful adventure would not have taken place. "
The AP reported that Veiga and Gonzalez had submitted their resignations on May 2, but
the magazine only now accepted them. Cafe Fuerte and several other sources had
originally reported that the editors were dismissed.
Veiga and Gonzalez issued a clarifying message confirming that they chose to resign,
and explaining that they had noticed divisions the magazine was causing in the Church
community, and felt that:
"It was not morally right to continue managing a publication that was provoking
divisions within our own ecclesiastic community, which contains the positions of
those who think that the Church should not interfere 'in politics' and those who
think that it should not open its spaces to all the members of Cuban civil society. In
this sense...we came to understand the impossibility of maintaining the editorial
line of the magazine Espacio Laical as it has been... "
The magazine, a publication of the Archdiocese of Havana is overseen by Cardinal Jaime
Ortega, the Archbishop of Havana. The editors say that on two previous occasions they
had submitted their resignations to Cardinal Ortega; however, the Cardinal had not
accepted the resignations until now.
The publication has come to represent a space for dialogue-based, politically moderate
debate in Cuba. Espacio Laical is described by the AP as "a rare exception" to
government-controlled media, publishing both pro-government and critical articles written
by authors from both within and outside of Cuba. The online version of the magazine
describes its objectives:
"We want to create a space for everyone. A space for different spheres of social,
political, economic, and cultural activity..., with the purpose of inserting ourselves
and contributing in a humble way to the creative work of a society that is more
prosperous and fraternal every day. "
Gustavo Andujar, the director of Espacio Laical, said that a new team would take over
following Veiga and Gonzalez's departure, and that the magazine "will have its defenders
and detractors, just like now, though criticisms and praise will not necessarily have the
same content or come from the same groups as now."
Four murdered in Artemisa province
The bodies of four homicide victims have been found west of Havana, reports the BBC .
According to state newspaper Granma , the bodies were found on Tuesday, June 10 in
the municipality of Bauta in Artemisa province. According to Cuba's Ministry of the
Interior, the deaths were related to a plan to leave the country illegally "with outside
support," and six individuals have been detained in relation to the deaths.

The Santiago de Cuba municipality is renting vacant commercial properties to private
businesses as part of a larger urban renewal project for its historic district, reports Cuba
Standard . The Office of the Curator in Santiago is directing the project. Those leasing the
buildings will pay rent based on their budget and the type of business they are running.
Rent will include the cost of any renovations to the buildings. Santiago's strategy is
important, writes Cuba Standard, because it differs from that program in place in Old
Havana, where the state oversees all businesses in the historic district.

Mr. President,

Development proved being capable of hitting even point targets. It is well known that Afghanistan has World record of
Poppy Opium Production of about 200 tons annually yielded from a cultivated 157,000 hectares area. That enormous dope
amount (90% of world opium production) is in my opinion the main financial source for Terror Organizations' Weaponry
Acquisition. According to my assessment, UAV could have been Redemption for Entire Mankind if being utilized as follows:
2,4 D Defoliant is splashed on the Narcotic Vegetation causing its Desertification within several days inevitably. The
following favorable consequences might have been anticipated:
1) Severing of Terror Organizations from their Financial Source that dry up with
Narcotic Vegetation Desertification
2) Salvation of millions of Potential Drug Addicts from Awful Agony and Death
3) Rehabilitation of US Deterrence that has weakened considerably after Nine Eleven
Horrendousness
4) Precipitation of NATO Troops Evacuation from Afghanistan as a result of UAV
Bombardment Intensification resulting in Terror Suppression Reinforcement
5) Deterrence of El-Qaida Reactivation by leaving a Souvenir of dry Poppy-Opium
Bushes from pulling out NATO Troops
6) I suggest having a Debate in the Senate that might hopefully lead to successful termination of the Afghan War after being
stuck in its Marsh for 12 long years
7) Waiting for your Response as US friend since 1948
8) There could not have been any doubt about terminating the Armed Conflict in Afghanistan Honorably averting an

9) Similarly, Central American Dope Smuggling could have been drastically diminished by UAV Utilization for Narcotic

Mountainous Gradients. Very large amounts of Dope are smuggled annually into the
US having found hitherto no efficacious way of overcoming that calamity
10) Please contact me by scheduling a meeting at US Embassy in Tel -Aviv for Clarifications with your experts' participation
specializing in Explosives, Electronics and Aviation
11) 1 have got all the required specifications for getting mankind be extricated from the two conjugated calamities, Drugs

13) In reminiscence, as many as 50,000 Aircraft were ordered according to Presidents' Roosevelt Ordinance after the
Japanese Attack of Pearl Harbor while
7000 UAV by comparison are being idled in Storage letting the Afghan Anned Conflict be continued indefinitely.
14) Please let me explicate for US Air-Force an efficacious way emerging victorious from Afghan Entanglement in favor of
Entire Mankind instead of suffering an ignominious defeat.
15) To my great surprise, US Does not exercise its Self Defense Right according to UN Charter Chapter 51 (1946), enabling
Criminal Organizations of Third World Countries attacking it with impunity. Nine Eleven Catastrophe could have been
averted if the US had utilized its complete Arsenal particularly UAV in high numbers instead of being kept idle in Magazines.
16) I propose meeting your Experts for UAV, Explosives and Electronics at US Embassy in Tel Aviv for thorough debate
about Dual Headed Monster Decapitation in favor of beleaguered Mankind believing in great success of my Innovative
Unprecedented Method as an only feasible efficacious expedient against it.
17) Is White House Correspondence Team busy to such an extent being unable responding even most important letters?

18) To my great Astonishment Dereliction of US Air Force results in smuggling of
Tremendous Dope Amount from Central America via Mexico into the US with its
Awful damage for many millions American's Health
19) I don't see any reason for hesitancy! The President may issue tomorrow an ordinance in order to open emergency
Magazines, getting ten thousands of UAV
Aloft in order to achieve Narcotic Vegetation Desertification with achievement for
Posterity
20) Emerge preferably with an Upper hand honorably instead of being ignominiously defeated!
21) Despite being Non US Citizen I think to have done my best in assisting ending up
Afghan War victoriously thanks to my Innovative Narcotic Vegetation Eradication Method, however not a single word
of Acknowledgement has hitherto
Reached my mailbox! In my opinion, Disparagement and Ungratefulness are conjugated at least according to my feeling!
22) There could not have been any justification keeping as many as 7000 UAV unused in magazines instead of operating
them against Nine Eleven Cruel enemy. Moreover, US taxpayers have already paid for that arsenal!
23) I believe Mr. Attorney General that Narcotic Vegetation Desertification Utilizing UAV is the only Feasible way of getting
Mankind been extricated from the Doubling Stricken Menace Grabbing, Drug and Terror Simultaneously.
24) November election is going to be beginning of President Obama last Congress Tenure working with but if the President
is being able Indicating Monumental achievements. He might have been eligible into the Parlor of great Leaders having
annihilated Drugs and Terror calamities for Posterity affluence
25) Wiping out Narcotic Vegetation and launching consequently an Overwhelming
Strike on Terror Organizations by UAV Utilization might have been an Unprecedented Achievement of Entire Mankind and
President Obama personally.
26) Incredibly, no reaction has come from the White House in latest four years despite
My pure intention for assistance for the US as well as Entire Civilization!
27) In my opinion Nobel Institute might have contributed to a very great extent to Drug and Terror Monster Decapitation in
favor of Entire Civilization.
28) Prime Minister of Israel might have contributed a great role in exerting an influence on US and Western Governments in
General in a Universal Effort of Dual Headed Monster, Drugs and Terror simultaneous eradication
Be successful
Gideon Rodeh
There is no justification losing an Election Campaign Ignominiously instead of emerging Victorious honorably! The
Democrats should have mobilized the entire US Media attacking the Republican for an Exploitation of US Contingency to
vote against their own Interests in favor of big Oil Corporations! Such incessant Transmissions would have been a very
efficacious Deterrence for most Democratic families to abstain from voting against their own Interests!
Be successful
Gideon Rodeh

Subject: This is how Gideon Rodeh got 20 U.S. senators to pass a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United
Gideon, this is huge. Led by eight stalwart Democrats, the Senate Judiciary Committee has passed a
constitutional amendment to overturn the awful Citizens United and McCutcheon Supreme
Court decisions.
The next step will be a vote in the full Senate.
Sign the petition: The U.S. Senate must pass a constitutional amendment to overturn
Citizens United and McCutcheon
Citizens United and McCutcheon opened up the floodgates for unlimited campaign spending by the 1%, and
we will keep seeing horrible court decisions like these until we change the U.S. Constitution to end the absurd
notion that money is "speech."
That's why we are doing something amazing before the final Senate vote. Together with our progressive
partners, we are going to deliver more than 2,000,000 signatures in support of the constitutional amendment
to the offices of the 20 key Senators who will decide the outcome.
Gideon Rodeh, please sign your name before we deliver this mega-petition: The U.S. Senate
must pass a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon
Keep fighting,
Rachel Colyer, Daily Kos

Dear Sir,
Subject: Disentanglement from Afghanistan
I have been conducting a pertinacious correspondence with your Committee in latest four years trying exerting pressure on
US Establishment that might have eventually got NATO Troops been pulled out of Afghanistan. According to TV Program
dedicated to US Arsenal as many as 7000 UAV are being stored unused in Magazines instead of attacking targets in
Afghanistan with the following emerging advantages:
1) Severing Terror Organizations' from their Financial Sources
2) Salvation of millions of potential Drug Addicts from awful agony and death.
3) Acceleration of Troops pulling out from Afghanistan due to Intensification of Aerial raids.
4) Restoration of US Deterrence as a result of UAV strengthening.
I believe in Terror Overwhelming defeat under those circumstances.
5) I remember UN 1946 Chapter 5 1 (self defense right that every country deserves) but being surprised by US failing of its
Exercise in spite of its Technical Preponderance
6) Despite my Thorough UAV Special Version Design for Narcotic Vegetation Eradication even one word of
Acknowledgement has not reached my mailbox hitherto.
7) Ignominious for a Super Power isn't it?
Sincerely,
Gideon Rodeh

In case useful. Is there a time that is good talk?
The Clean Water Rule does not create new permitting requirements for agriculture nor add an economic burden
for farmers. The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers recognize the value of farmers input — over the course of
crafting the Clean Water Rule, they met with over 400 stakeholders and collected over 1 million comments. EPA
and the Army Corps made significant changes between the proposed and final CWR to accommodate the
agriculture community’s concerns:
The final rule retains all of the traditional Clean Water Act exemptions for agriculture, including exemptions
for normal farming, silviculture, and ranching (plowing, seeding, cultivating, minor drainage, harvesting, and
moving livestock).
In addition, the final Clean Water Rule defines tributaries more clearly, emphasizing that it is not meant to
cover erosion in a farmer’s field. A tributary must show physical features of flowing water- a bed, bank, and
ordinary high water mark.
It also clearly sets limits on covering nearby waters that physical and measurable (1500 feet for adjacent
waters and wetlands, 4000 feet for more isolated waters)
Lastly, it focuses on streams, not ditches. It limits protection to ditches that are constructed out of streams
or function like streams. Ditches that are not constructed in streams and only flow when it rains are not covered.
The final rule does not: expand jurisdiction beyond the historic scope of the CWA, change private property
rights, add new requirements for agriculture, regulate more ditches, address land use, and excludes
groundwater, shallow subsurface flow, and tile drains.
The Farm Bureau is never going to be satisfied- their goal is to have no rule at all, or one that severely limits
protections for our waterways. While the CWR doesn’t address agriculture runoff, it’s important to note that Iowa
is having serious problems with nitrogen contamination and algae blooms in their waterways. Des Moines Water
Works has identified that their drinking water sources are highly susceptible to contamination, and over 600
bodies of water in Iowa have been classified as “impaired” under the Clean Water Act. DMWW may need to build
a new system to deal with this pollution at the cost of $150 million.
Vilsack has been helpful behind the scenes, but has mostly tried to avoid saying anything publicly about the rule.
This is USDA’s press release: “USDA urged the EPA to listen to input from farmers and agri-business owners
who need clear expectations and long-term certainty so they can effectively run their operations. EPA is seeking
to provide that certainty with the development of this Clean Water Rule, and we appreciate that Administrator
McCarthy and her staff have made a very concerted effort to incorporate the agricultural community’s views.”

Update: senior policy hire
Feedback for Heather 2.14.docx
Jacobs CV SHORT.pdf
Hello John,
I hope all's well with you. The senior team is gelling in my imagination and I could use your input on a key
decision.
Ed starts Monday, which is very exciting, and I've been doing informational interviews for the other senior hire. I
think we should be clearer in the title and go for something like Managing Director for Policy, Government
Affairs, and Operations or Managing Director and Director of Policy and Government Affairs.
While I'm exploring the field (and open to suggestion), I've also circled back with Elisabeth Jacobs. I continue to
think she'd be great for our team, especially paired with Ed's management experience. Before, I was wary that
she didn't bring enough experience, but with Ed on board, I think we'd be good. She wrote a nice memo of ideas
she'd pursue on the policy side (attached), which I think pushes us in the right direction. Curious to hear if you
agree.
Elisabeth will be sitting down with Ed, as well as Ira Fishman (who I really am learning a lot from) this week and I
hope that we can decide by next Friday. If we go that route, the issue will be getting Sandler buy-in. I'd like to be
able to tell them that you're in favor of her if that seems helpful — okay?
Happy to talk through this, but I also recall that the last time I brought her name up, you said "why haven't you
hired her already?" I don't think we were talking about this specific role, so I wanted to circle back once more to
make sure you agree.
Best,
Heather

Sub ect- Updated Talking Points: Donald Trump's Islamaphobic Campaign Aids ISIS and Undermines Our
Security
Updated talking points points below. As always, if you're going out on tv on this topic please let Alex or me know.
Thanks!
Donald Trump's Islamophobic Campaign Aids ISIS and Undermines Our Security
Hell no, Hillary Clinton is not apologizing for calling out Donald Trump's dangerous rhetoric. Donald Trump
should be apologizing for undermining our national security by helping ISIS recruit more terrorists.
News coverage and videos of Donald Trump’s extreme, anti-Muslim rhetoric are all over Arabic-language
television like Al-Jazeera and BBC Arabic. These clips are widely viewed and easily shared.
ISIS supporters and other terrorist groups are tweeting about and discussing his comments on social media, telling
Muslim Americans to join their “committed brothers” in ISIS terrorities and pressuring them to “join the Army.”
And they need go no farther than point to their own televisions as proof.
I
In fact, terrorism experts across the board agree that his comments aid the efforts of terrorists like ISIS.
This includes the Pentagon, which spoke out about the danger it creates for our troops.
That’s why Hillary Clinton will never back down from calling out Donald Trump’s irresponsible rhetoric that
makes the U.S. less safe.
Any of the Republican candidates who don’t do the same have demonstrated yet one more reason they don’t have
the judgement to be commander in chief.
BACKGROUND: Experts have made perfectly clear that the Islamophobic rhetoric that Donald
Trump is using to stoke Americans' fears play directly into the hands of ISIS and other terrorist
groups:
Rita Katz. SITE Intelligence Group : "They love him from the sense that he is supporting their
rhetoric... They follow everything Donald Trump says. When he says, 'No Muslims should be allowed in
America,' they tell people, 'We told you America hates Muslims and here is proof."'
Ted Koppel : Donald Trump is, in effect, the Recruiter-in-Chief for ISIS. ISIS wants nothing more
right now than to have the world divided into Judeo-Christian on one side and the Islamic world on the other.
That's exactly what Trump is doing for them.
Washington Post's David Ignatius : "[Trump's] divisive comments play so directly into the
polarizing strategies of our terrorist adversaries — who want to foment Western-Muslim hatred
— that a case can be made that he has put the country at greater risk.

New York Times' Thomas Friedman : "Beyond playing into ISIS’s hand by denigrating the U.S.
presidency and our democratic ideals, Trump is doing real damage to America’s ability to lead a coalition,
the only vehicle that can effectively address this problem."
Richard Engel : "So from the world perspective, it is absolutely an image, an impression, a black spot on our
collective foreign policy and our conscience. And it also just feeds into the ISIS [Islamic State]
narrative."
Khalaf A1 Habtoor : Extremists like ISIS "will thank Mr. Trump for his comments — this is very dangerous
what he is doing to the United States"
Terrorist Media Expert. Evan Kohlmann : Perhaps the most frightening thing about what Donald Trump is
saying is that it's precisely what ISIS wants. They want a holy war between radical Islam and the west and right
now Trump is giving it to them."
ISIS supporters and supporters of other terrorist groups have used social media to praise Trump
for furthering their cause in the wake of his recent proposal to ban Muslims from entering the
United States.
SITE Intelligence Group : "Following Donald Trump’s statement to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., jihadists
on Twitter expressed a lack of surprise, characterizing his proposal as Western oppression against Muslims. The
following statements were made from December 9-12, 2015.
User “Ali Abdillahi,” an Islamic State (IS) supporter, was nonplussed by Trump’s statement, claiming most
non-Muslims likely share the same sentiment:
0 “Why are people shocked with trump he only said what most kufar [disbelievers] are afraid of saying.”
A fighter for al-Nusra Front, “Abu Saeed Al-Halabi,” found Trump’s statement hypocritical and proposed a
rhetorical “deal” with Trump in the context of U.S. foreign policy:
o “I agree with Trumps muslim remarks if the Americans stop invading muslim countries. We have a deal here
Mr. Trump?”
A pro-IS account under the name “Warrior” made a similar request of Trump. He argued if Muslims are
banned in the U.S., they should be allowed to make travel to Muslim countries:
o “i wonder if president trump will allow muslims to leave the US for dalwah. he hates muslims so much, allow
those that want to leave and live with other committed brothers and sisters without kuffar oppression, put your
money where your mouth is Trump, more likely he will throw all muslims in US in prison as matter of "national
security" #cowards”
Furthermore, the account of “Amriki Mujaher,” who implies himself to be American turned IS fighter, seemed
to make a similar message:

Hi Professor,
I am sorry to disturb you, but I have a quick question. My father, whom I believe you know (Mark Aronchick), will
be in DC tomorrow. I was wondering if I would be able to bring him to class tomorrow night before he heads back
to Philly. He always gets a kick out of sitting in on my classes, and I think he would find your class particularly
enjoyable.
I completely understand if you would prefer that he not come given the size and confidentiality of the class. I
wanted to clear it with you before I even mention the idea to him.
Please let me know!

Thanks Ann. I'm just going to do this, if you/Research are ok with it:
Families are stretched in a million directions. So are their budgets. Costs keep rising but most people’s paychecks
haven’t moved in years - but corporate profits and CEO pay keep rising. Quality childcare costs more than college
tuition in many states. The minimum wage is a poverty wage. Millions of Americans are held back by student debt.
And at a time when more women than ever are their family’s main bread winner, too often, they still don’t get equal
pay. Women of color earn least of all. And just yesterday, the Department of Labor released new data showing that, as
our economy gets stronger, men’s pay is going up more than twice as fast than women’s pay.

Two things:
(1) Apparently, DOL did release interesting pay disparity numbers today. See this WSJ piece . I think it
would be good to add a line that says, "Yesterday, the US Department of Labor released new data
showing that our economy is getting stronger, but that increases in pay for men and women are not
growing at the same rate. Men who work full-time saw their pay increase at more than double the rate of
women. With more than 2/3rds of our families relying on the income of women to keep their families afloat,
this unequal pay growth hurts women, our families and our economy. Equal pay must be a priority if we
are going to have a strong economy and strong families."
(2) For the Paul Ryan paragraph, instead of "flexibility," I'd focus that he was asking for a fair and
predictable schedule - something that our low-wage workers are desperate to get. So change to:
Paid family leave; schedules that are fair and predictable; higher wages so you don’t have to work two jobs to make
ends meet, so you can be home at night with your kids — these aren’t just challenges for women, they’re challenges
for America.

Here's a new draft of a less prescriptive read out - the sentence in parenthesis can be cut if needed. Further below is the white
house statement. I suggest cutting the sentence on the economy (we can do that on background) so that our statement doesn't
look less gracious than theirs.
"President-elect Barack Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama were very warmly received today at the White House by President
George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. Upon arriving. President-elect Obama and President Bush proceeded to the Oval Office,
where they had a productive and friendly meeting that lasted for XX minutes. They had a broad discussion about the
importance of working together throughout the transition of government in light of the nation's many critical economic and
security challenges. [Specifically, President-elect Obama stressed the need for immediate action on the economy, including the
financial crisis facing the auto industry.] President-elect Obama thanked President Bush for his commitment to a smooth
transition, and for his and First Lady Laura Bush's gracious hospitality in welcoming the Obama's to the White House."
White House
The President and the President-elect had a long meeting, described by the President as good, constructive, relaxed and friendly. They spoke
about both domestic and international issues, though since it was a private meeting the White House will decline to comment on specifics. The
President also showed President-elect Obama the living quarters, including the office the President uses, the Lincoln Bedroom, and the rooms for
the Obamas’ two young daughters. The President enjoyed his visit with the Resident-elect, and he again pledged a smooth transition to the next
administration.

Race looks wide open in 13th
Congressional District
By Jessica Parks, Inquirer Staff
Writer
POSTED: April 29, 2014
What was once viewed as a slam-
dunk comeback for former U.S. Rep.
Marjorie Margolies is turning into a
knock-down, drag-out brawl with her
three opponents in the 1 3th
Congressional District, political
observers say.
Margolies had been considered the
front-runner in the race to replace
Allyson Schwartz. A poll her
campaign commissioned in August
found 62 percent of likely Democratic
primary voters recognized her, and 55
percent viewed her favorably.
But that early advantage has failed to
push her opponents - State Rep.
Brendan Boyle, physician Valerie
Arkoosh, and State Sen. Daylin Leach
- from contention. Each has built
niches of support, with endorsements
and money matching or exceeding
Margolies'.
"I can give you a winning scenario for
Marjorie Margolies can't tap her general election funds every one of those candida tes," said
Larry Ceisler, a political consultant who has ties to all four candidates but who said he wasn't backing one over
the others. "As we get closer, it's going to tighten up even more," he said.
The candidates are scheduled to debate at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Philadelphia Portuguese Club, 2019 Rhawn St.
Over the last six months, Margolies' fund-raising has not kept up with her spending, and she has been battered
by negative reports about her charity, her ex-husband's financial crimes, and her campaign's reliance on the
Clintons (Chelsea Clinton is her daughter-in-law).
Last week, that criticism was amplified when Leach filed a complaint with the Federal Section Commission,
alleging that Margolies misused money designated for the general election.
Six months ago, "I would have said [Margolies] is a 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 favorite," said Neil Oxman, a Democratic
consultant who is not affiliated with the race. "Given what's happened with her finances, I think she's no longer
the front-runner."
Margolies' campaign has denied breaking any finance laws. Her campaign manager, Ken Smukler, said internal
polling indicated that she still had a strong lead in the race.
But with three weeks until the May 20 primary, independent observers said it was anyone's game.
"Each of the four candidates really has a strong argument that they're best equipped to win the primary," said
Mark Nevins, a consultant with Dover Strategy Group who said he was "officially agnostic" on the race. He said
the result would come down to "who has the most compelling message and the resources to get that message
out on TV and by mail aggressively."
Leach and Boyle are running TV ads, and Arkoosh has independent radio ads and direct mail going out.
Margolies' campaign on Monday will open a Northeast Philadelphia office. But as of late March, it had spent no
money on advertising or direct voter outreach, according to FEC reports. Her first TV ad is set to air this week.
Geography vs. gender

The nominee will square off in the fail against the winner of the GOP race between retired U.S. Air Force Col.
Beverly Plosa-Bowser and businessman Carson "Dee" Adcock.
Any Democrat is likely to have the advantage. The 1 3th District is reliably Democratic - roughly 60 percent - and
the population is split evenly between Northeast Philadelphia and southern Montgomery County.
Margolies, Leach, and Arkoosh hail from Montgomery County - which could give Boyle an edge.
Oxman, a consultant with the Campaign Group in Philadelphia who isn't supporting any candidate, likes Boyle's
odds.
He and others praised Boyle's ground game and said his support among trade unions and Philadelphia ward
leaders would pay off on Election Day.
Boyle is "certainly going to win the city," Oxman said. "The question is, will he win the city by a large enough
margin that whoever wins the suburbs will not matter?"
Ceisler and Nevins agreed the suburban split could be a deciding factor in Boyle's favor.
Margolies and Arkoosh have been campaigning hard on the importance of electing a woman to replace
Schwartz, currently the only woman in Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
Margolies has spent 20 years leading a charity that promotes women's leadership, and she casts herself as the
leading proponent for women.
Arkoosh, who lobbied around the country for the Affordable Care Act and its women's health provisions, in the
spring received a high-profile endorsement from the Women's Campaign Fund. Last week, the Women's
Campaign Fund named Arkoosh one of its 40 "game changers" in U.S. politics.
Emily's List, a leading national women's political group, has yet to issue an endorsement in the 1 3th District.
Nevins said gender could sway some voters and noted that women tend to vote in "slightly larger numbers in
elections like this." But because there are two women in the race, he said, "I'm not sure there's an obvious
winner."
Going negative
Last week, the campaign took a negative turn when Leach accused Margolies of deliberately misusing campaign
money.
Margolies' campaign has denied the allegations and hired a former FEC commissioner to represent her in the
case.
The candidates have also turned up the heat to highlight their few policy differences.
Arkoosh has been attacking Margolies' 1 994 plan to cut Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age.
"Marjorie Margolies tried to slash our Social Security benefits," one of her campaign mailers declared.
In an e-mail Friday, Margolies called those mailers "intellectually dishonest" and has said she does not agree to
benefit cuts or raising the retirement age.
"My opponents continue to attempt to scare seniors by citing positions I took over two decades ago as though
they are current," Margolies wrote.
She has criticized Leach for supporting positions she says are politically untenable, among them legalizing
marijuana and shifting to a single-payer health-care system.
Leach, Arkoosh, and Margolies have criticized Boyle for voting to tighten regulations on abortion providers. Five
of the state's 22 clinics closed after the bill passed.
Boyle said he supported women's right to choose but defended the vote.
"I think it's a reasonable step to say there need to be reasonable health requirements and inspections," he said
Friday.

Adding others.
Thank you all for confirming 2pm tomorrow. Brynne will send a race backgrounder shortly so you have relevant information.
Margolies has a poll going in to field tonight so I though we could delay the call until we had some numbers. However, nick/
pir report that the NYT (Amy Chozick) is about to write a story and is specifically asking if Clintons plan to provide
additional help and her story may run soon.
Do people have ability to call in earlier?
8:30am? Sorry to do this at such short notice. I know cdm is overseas so might not be easy to do.

Subject: Followup
In case useful. Is there a time that is good talk?
The Clean Water Rule does not create new permitting requirements for agriculture nor add an economic burden
for farmers. The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers recognize the value of farmers input — over the course of
crafting the Clean Water Rule, they met with over 400 stakeholders and collected over 1 million comments. EPA
and the Army Corps made significant changes between the proposed and final CWR to accommodate the
agriculture community’s concerns:
■ The final rule retains all of the traditional Clean Water Act exemptions for agriculture, including exemptions for
normal farming, silviculture, and ranching (plowing, seeding, cultivating, minor drainage, harvesting, and moving
livestock).
■ In addition, the final Clean Water Rule defines tributaries more clearly, emphasizing that it is not meant to cover
erosion in a farmer’s field. A tributary must show physical features of flowing water- a bed, bank, and ordinary
high water mark.
■ It also clearly sets limits on covering nearby waters that physical and measurable (1500 feet for adjacent
waters and wetlands, 4000 feet for more isolated waters)
■ Lastly, it focuses on streams, not ditches. It limits protection to ditches that are constructed out of streams or
function like streams. Ditches that are not constructed in streams and only flow when it rains are not covered.
■ The final rule does not: expand jurisdiction beyond the historic scope of the CWA, change private property
rights, add new requirements for agriculture, regulate more ditches, address land use, and excludes
groundwater, shallow subsurface flow, and tile drains.
The Farm Bureau is never going to be satisfied- their goal is to have no rule at all, or one that severely limits
protections for our waterways. While the CWR doesn’t address agriculture runoff, it’s important to note that Iowa
is having serious problems with nitrogen contamination and algae blooms in their waterways. Des Moines Water
Works has identified that their drinking water sources are highly susceptible to contamination, and over 600
bodies of water in Iowa have been classified as “impaired” under the Clean Water Act. DMWW may need to build
a new system to deal with this pollution at the cost of $150 million.
Vilsack has been helpful behind the scenes, but has mostly tried to avoid saying anything publicly about the rule.
This is USDA’s press release: “USDA urged the EPA to listen to input from farmers and agri-business owners
who need clear expectations and long-term certainty so they can effectively run their operations. EPA is seeking
to provide that certainty with the development of this Clean Water Rule, and we appreciate that Administrator
McCarthy and her staff have made a very concerted effort to incorporate the agricultural community’s views.”

Subject: Auditing Congressional Investigations Course
Dear Professor Podesta,
My name is Anna Kent, and I am a 3L who was in attendance at the first meeting of your and Judge Leon's
Congressional Investigations course. I am incredibly interested in the subject and had a great time that first
class. Unfortunately, I am stuck at the top of the waitlist, which may not budge.
I was wondering if you and Judge Leon would allow me to audit the course (if there is space in the room). I
have never audited a course before, but Georgetown allows it with the professor(s)'s permission. I would
be happy to be a silent observer, or to participate at whatever level you and Judge Leon deem
appropriate.
Please let me know if you would be willing to allow this. I wanted to include Judge Leon on this message,
but I didn't see his email address on the Syllabus. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Anna Kent

Excellent and sorry to be late in. Just two small points recognizing it may ne too late:
1) You use low level offenders. Did you resist using non-violent offenders? Comes up like on page 22. Non-
violent seems like the most sympathetic group, but maybe doesn't cover enough of the problem.
2) kinda light on treatment which is probably ok fpr this, but need to build that out in the future

Thanks Ann for reviewing and editing. I totally agree with you on the need to hold back any of the
preliminary new policy ideas. I threw the list in mostly in case you guys required a placeholder set of

on what she has already done/is doing is complete and signed off through our process. Other than
one other thing, I like the rest of the edits. The one thing: I think when the legitimate problems
underscoring the current law are deferred to end, the memo seems to flow less logically. Moreover, I
would like to acknowledge the bad news up front so she isn't thinking we are burying the problems.
Principals sometimes don't trust the messenger who appears to be pooh poohing the challenge. If ok
with you guys, I would like to get that stuff out of the way and restore that ordering. As I reviewed

Chris - Thanks so much for talking tonight and spearheading the effort to develop a broader set
of policies aimed at strengthening the ACA, as well as policies that will drive down costs, foster
innovation and reform our delivery of health care.
I do think the memo that you wrote on the United Healthcare situation is very good and should
go to HRC. I have edited and reordered it to: (1) have her focus on the arguments about why not
to panic too much about United Health Care at the beginning of the memo; and (2) left the
background on why ACA needs to be strengthened to the end; and (3) I deleted your list of
improvements at the end as I'd prefer for us to work on giving her a package together rather
than a few ideas now.
If this works for you and Jake, Shapiro can clean it up and get it into HRC's briefing book.
Thanks again,
Ann

John, will we have a chance to discuss some of the issues surrounding a post-election code of conduct at
tomorrow's meeting? It probably has the most immediate impact in thinking through personnel choices for the
agency review process and in seeking security clearances. You mentioned an interest in having such a

Sub'ecT MUST READ From Media Matters: Reported Central Contentions Of New Benghazi Book Already
Debunked
Reported Central Contentions Of New Benghazi Book
Already Debunked
Blog >>> 54 minutes ago >>> MATT GERTZ
A new book that seeks to damage Hillary Clinton over the 2012 attacks in Benghazi reportedly relies on long-debunked conservative myths.
On September 9, WND Books will publish Aaron Klein's The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don't Want You to
Know. The book's release is the latest salvo from a conservative cottage industry that aims to make money and political hay out of
both Benghazi and Clinton smears
Klein, a senior reporter for the birther site WND, is not a credible author - one of his recent books portrayed President Obama as a
"Manchurian Candidate" whose autobiography was ghostwritten by Bill Ayers.
The Washington Examinees Fhul Bedard, who reviewed an advance copy of Klein's Benghazi book, reported that Klein argues "Clinton was
unwilling to provide additional security to the diplomatic outpost and even played a role in sending Stevens to his 'doomed mission.'"
Klein's contention that Clinton "was unwilling to provide additional security to the diplomatic outpost" seems to reference the long-debunked
conservative claim that the then-Secretary of State personally signed off on cables rejecting requests for additional security. When
congressional Republicans first made that claim in April 2013, diplomatic reporters noted that every cable sent to the State Department from
overseas facilities is addressed to the secretary, and every cable sent from the State Department is signed by the secretary, even though the
secretary rarely reviews them.
In her 2014 memoir, Clinton wrote that she had never seen the cables in question, stating , "That's not how it works. It shouldn't. And it didn't."
Klein's claim that Clinton "played a role in sending Stevens" to his death in Benghazi has also been debunked . The State Department's
Accountability Review Board reported that Stevens "made the decision to travel to Benghazi independently of Washington, per standard practice,"
with the trip's timing "driven in part by commitments in Tripoli." Gregory Hicks, who was Stevens' deputy, also testified before Congress that the
ambassador "chose to go" to Benghazi.

Subject: Our window is closing
OF CONSERVATION VOTERS
Dear John,
As the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf Coast continues to capture the
nation’s attention - now is the time that we MUST finally pass
comprehensive clean energy and climate change legislation.
This is the chance to break our dangerous addiction to oil and hold Big
Oil accountable for the damage they’ve done.
But with just hours until our fundraising deadline, our window
of opportunity is closing and we’re still $13,154 short of our
goal.
Please, make a gift by midnight tonight to help us stand up
to Big Oil and break our dangerous dependence on oil!
Your gift now will:
• Pressure President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to work with
Senators to pass a strong bill - that makes real change. We’ll be bringing the entire force of
the LCV community down on the president and Senate leaders to push them to oppose new efforts
to drill, and support comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation that limits carbon pollution
and curbs our dependence on oil.
• Launch a massive public education campaign about how a transition to clean energy
will jumpstart our economy. We’ll counter Big Oil’s PR machine and expose in key districts just
how much of the public’s safety and natural resources Big Oil is willing to sacrifice for short-term
profit.
• Lay the groundwork for pro-environment victories at the ballot box. Using our decades of
experience - including door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, and targeted mail, we’ll show the
public that this spill is going to cripple the coast’s economy for years - and we’ll make sure
everyone knows whether their leaders stand with dirty polluters or support clean, renewable
energy.
America is paying attention to just how dangerous our dependence on oil is NOW, but this window of
opportunity won’t last long.
We urgently need your help to show voters just how much of their safety and natural
resources Big Oil’s candidates are willing to sacrifice for short-term profit.
Please, fight to prevent more tragedies like the Gulf Oil Disaster - make a gift by midnight
TONIGHT to help ensure it is the spill to end all spills.
Thank you for your support at this pivotal moment.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski,
League of Conservation Voters
Just hours left to make sure
we end our dirty addiction to
oil.
We can stop Big Oil with your
help.
Help us raise $13,154 by
midnight TONIGHT.

OBAMA Q BIDEN
John --
This movement has always belonged to you.
So your feedback is crucial in determining how we continue to work together.
Take a couple minutes to help shape our plans for the future.
Our ground game was the decisive factor in this campaign. It was you -- your neighborhood teams, canvasses, phone banks, and
your donations that helped give our operation the resources it needed -- that changed the face of American politics and gave
President Barack Obama a new term in office.
But our work isn't over. We didn't do all this just to win a campaign. We have more progress to make, and there's only one way to
do it: together.
Take this short survey on your campaign experience, and share your thoughts on how we all can continue supporting the
President in his second term -- and the causes we care about for years to come:

Got his contact/his assist contact from Lindsay and just emailed about a call tomorrow. Will call in the AM if I
don't hear back.
Notes from Lindsay:
Reid gave $5400 to HVF after YOUR meeting with him. Obviously, that was a little confusing because it's a
double max, but to HVF. Lindsay had followed up with the specific contribution limits for HVF and HFA, so she
thinks that he may have just blanked while writing the check.
Her last correspondence with him was over email shortly after he gave the $5400. She thanked him for the
check and asked if he would host President Clinton. She gave him a date for the event and a deadline for his
response, but she never heard back from him. She thinks he may have been traveling internationally (in China)
so didn't take his unresponsiveness too seriously.

NOTABLES
- CHRIS CHRISTIE AND MIKE HUCKABEE DON'T MAKE THE CUT: The lineup for the next
GOP debate has been announced and Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee didn't make the cut for the
main event, according to Fox Business. Participation in the Nov. 10 debate was based on 4 recent polls:
the candidates needed to average 2.5 percent or higher to be featured in the main debate, and 1
percent or higher to be in the undercard debate. The eight who made the cut for the main stage are
Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Rand
Paul. The candidates in the undercard are Christie and Huckabee as well as Jindal and Santorum,
ABC's CORINNE CATHCART and RYAN STRUYK report. Those who didn't make the cut for either
are Sen. Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore, http:/ /abcn.ws/ikxDqNw
-MARCO RUBIO AND DONALD TRUMP ARE IN A FIGHT OVER FINANCES: "I find it ironic that
the only person running for president that's ever declared a bankruptcy -- four times in the last 25
years — is attacking anyone on finances," Rubio said on the campaign trail in New Hampshire
yesterday in response to questions Trump has been raising about the Florida senator's personal
finances. ABC's INES DE LA CUETARA and MICHAEL FALCONE report Trump has never filed for
personal bankruptcy, but his company Trump Entertainment Resorts— which he owned 28 percent of -
- filed for bankruptcy four times, most recently in 2014. Wednesday in New Hampshire Trump
attacked Rubio on the issue, http: / /abcn.ws/iKZn4T6
-NEW FROM THE DEMOCRATS - MARCO RUBIO IS HIDING SOMETHING. The Democratic
National Committee released a new attack video against Marco Rubio today, ABC's PAOLA CHAVEZ
notes. The 50-second ad titled 'Marco Rubio Is Hiding Something' focuses on attacking Rubio over his
personal finances. The ad starts out with a clip from the last GOP debate when CNBC's Becky Quick
asked Rubio to comment on "intermingling campaign money with personal money." The clip is followed
up by a compilation of Rubio's answer and the media's reaction. The DNC wraps up the ad deeming
'Marco Rubio can't be trusted." WATCH : http: //bit.lv/1lQWiX0

—ANALYSIS — ABC's RICK KLEIN: It's getting late early over in the Democratic race. Now that
Bernie Sanders is officially a Democrat, he has a chance Friday to define what kind of Democrat he
intends to be. A forum in South Carolina -- not a debate, since the presidential candidates won't be on
stage at the same time -- could be the venue for Sanders to enunciate how directly he plans to confront
Hillary Clinton over questions of honesty and trustworthiness. Critically, after seeming to take her
email server off the table as a campaign issue at the first debate last month, does Sanders want to put it
back on? Given the hot hand Clinton has played of late, it's hard to imagine her stumbling in her path
to the nomination without another Democrat throwing obstacles in her way. That hasn't been Sanders'
style, but neither has he been a Democratic candidate for president before.

BEN CARSON LASHES OUT AT MEDIA OVER QUESTIONS ABOUT VIOLENT CHILDHOOD.
Republican presidential contender Ben Carson is lashing out at the media, calling recent questions into
his violent childhood past "a bunch of lies" and "pathetic." Carson has come under recent scrutiny after
failed media attempts to verify the violent childhood incidents he has publicly recounted. He stands by
those stories. "It is just garbage," Carson told CNN this morning. "We have too many things that are
important to deal with." More from ABC's RYAN STRUYK: http: / /abcn.ws/iOiYSCm
WHAT WILL HILLARY CLINTON CALL BILL CLINTON IF SHE WINS? Hillary Clinton is taking
on the Republicans — and her now her husband — boasting on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that she
would beat the two-term commander in chief if she went head-to-head with him in a presidential race,
ABC's MATTHEW CLAIBORNE reports. "He would run again," Hillary Clinton said. "I don't want
you to tell anybody that, but if he could he would." "So if I were going to run against him, would I win?"
asked Clinton. "Yeah!" So if she wins the presidency, what would her husband be called? "First dude.
First mate. First gentleman." Secretary Clinton joked. "It's a little more complicated with him because
people still call former presidents 'Mr. President' so I have to really work on this." http: //abcn.ws/

NOTED: BILL CLINTON SUPER-FANS OF THE 1990S REUNITING FOR HILLARY. The Bill
Clinton super-fans of the 1990's are about to reunite -- this time for Hillary Clinton. They're called the
"Arkansas Travelers." While they have no official affiliation with the campaign, many in this group of
hundreds, which first formed in 1991 during Bill Clinton's presidential race, have long-lasting,
personal relationships with the Clintons going back for years, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ notes. Some are
even childhood friends. Now more than 20 years later, the "Travelers" are once again hitting the
campaign trail in support of Hillary Clinton. A group of 18 of them are traveled from Little Rock to
New Hampshire yesterday to begin a 5-day swing where they plan to go door-to-door talking to voters
about their old-friend. http: //abcn.ws/iiFQNIS
HOW CARLY FIORINA WANTS TO RUN THE COUNTRY LIKE A BUSINESS. Make no mistake,
Carly Fiorina is running for president of the United States. But, at times, it seems like she's pitching
herself to voters to be CEO, ABC's JORDYN PHELPS notes. "The only way you go from secretary to
CEO is you challenge the status quo, you produce results, and you build teams," Fiorina recently told a
gathering in Oskaloosa, Iowa. "And that is what we need to do for the American people." The former
Hewlett-Packard chief, who made a name for by climbing the corporate ladder rather than rubbing
shoulders in the halls of power, talks about governing in terms more akin to a business plan than a
policy agenda -- placing emphasis on producing measurable results and talking tough about holding
bureaucracies accountable, promising a "top-to-bottom review of every single agency's budget."

BEN CARSON PROPOSES SEPARATE BATHROOMS FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. In an
interview Thursday with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, Ben Carson said there should be separate bathrooms for
transgender people. "How about we have a transgender bathroom?" Carson told Ramos. "It's not fair for
them to make everybody else uncomfortable." He added, "I think everybody has equal rights but I'm
not sure anybody should have extra rights -- extra rights when it comes to redefining everything for
everybody else and imposing your view on everybody else." According to ABC's ALANA
ABRAMSON, the Human Rights Campaign immediately issued a statement condemning Carson's
remarks and calling on the other candidates to do so as well. http: //abcn.ws/ikxRuAv

WHAT JEB BUSH SAYS ABOUT GEORGE H. W. BUSH'S NEW BIOGRAPHY. Jon Meacham's
new biography, "Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush," isn't out
until next week, but it's already making waves. George H. W. Bush criticizes key members of his son
George W. Bush's administration, including Vice President Dick Cheney and U.S. Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld, according to a copy of the book obtained by ABC News. As his other son, Jeb Bush,
was boarding a campaign bus Thursday after his last public campaign event of the day in New
Hampshire, he said, "I love my dad, he's a great guy." The 2016 Republican presidential candidate also
said he "think[s] the book's worth reading and I recommend it." ABC's CANDACE SMITH and
VERONICA STRACQUALURSI have more. http: //abcn.ws/iNSvdNK
CHRIS CHRISTIE COACHES TRUMP FOR UPCOMING 'SNL' APPEARANCE. They may be
fighting for the same job, but New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was quick to offer his best advice to
Donald Trump in preparation of his upcoming "Saturday Night Live" appearance. "Have fun," Christie
said in an interview with ABC's JONATHAN KARL Thursday. "It's a really good group of folks, it's
entertaining, and they make you comfortable." Trump last hosted the show in 2004 during the first
season of "The Apprentice," ABC's ALEXANDER MALLIN notes. He hosts the comedy show this
Saturday night, http: // abcn.ws/ lMfmiki
JOHN KASICH DISMISSES DONALD TRUMP AND BEN CARSON POPULARITY AS
TEMPORARY. Republican presidential candidate John Kasich said Thursday he thinks the popularity
of fellow GOP candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson is a temporary phenomenon and dismissed the
recent rise of two other competitors, Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, saying voters
should choose someone with executive experience. "There is no substitute for executive experience. I
mean there is no substitute for having to answer to a bottom line, to go through crisis," Kasich, who

KARL in New Hampshire Thursday. Trump, a businessman, and Carson, a former neurosurgeon,

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
DONALD TRUMP AND BEN CARSON AUTHORIZED FOR SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION.
Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson will soon be protected by the agency
that protects President Obama. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has authorized United
States Secret Service protection for the two GOP candidates, according to a statement released
Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security. ABC's JACK DATE reports Trump and Ben
Carson first requested protection from the Secret Service in October. http://abcn.ws/iPqRfTL

I wanted to make sure you saw this note from Jason. President Obama will be holding a health reform rally at
the Comcast Center in College Park tomorrow -- don't miss it.

From: Jason Waskey, BarackObama.com
Subject: Thursday: President Obama in College Park
Friend --
This Thursday, President Obama will be coming to speak in College Park, MD. Following his major address on
health reform to Congress last week, we're at an important turning point in our push for real reform, and it's
critical that we seize this moment.
So we're inviting folks like you to come and support him. Please join us — here are the details:
What: Health Reform Rally with President Obama
Where: Comcast Center
1 Terrapin Trail
College Park, MD 20742
When: Thursday, September 17th
Doors Open: 9:00 a.m.
Start Time: 11:00 a.m.
; rsvp
Last fall, when Swiftboaters and special interests attacked President Obama, folks like you came to his
defense. We knocked on doors, talked to neighbors, and made our voices heard.
Now, we need to do it again. This time, he's under attack by Washington insiders, insurance companies, and
well-financed special interests who don't go a day without spreading lies and stirring up fear. We need to show
that we're sick and tired of it, and that we're ready for real change, this year.
Join us on Thursday to stand up for President Obama and publicly show your support for the big changes that
the President is fighting for and that this country needs.
Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis, so please arrive as early as possible.
RSVP today:

John,
I hope this email finds you well. I know this summer is keeping you busy, but I certainly hope you've found some time to get away. Linda
and I are actually heading to Italy tomorrow!
Before I leave, I wanted to check in and see if you were still willing and available to meet with Ambassador Shen from TECRO before the
summer is over. I know Veronica has been in touch with your office to work on this, but hasn't had any luck finding a date.
i hope we can make it work.
All the best.
Tom

Hi John - Thanks for your informative and energizing presentation in Chicago today, and most importantly, thanks for your commitment to electing
Hillary as our next President.
Thanks, too, for speaking to me about the National Leadership Circle program. As we discussed, the NLC was an extraordinarily successful off-
cycle fund raising vehicle for the DNC, and I believe it has great potential as a national program in Hillary's campaign. This program has proven to
be an effective way to engage mid-level donors and keep them engaged over a log period of time. I'm happy to provide you with more information,
answer any questions, and discuss how the NLC could be tailored as a national program in Hillary's campaign. I'm available by phone, email, or an
in-person meeting in Chicago, New York, or another location as necessary.
For your convenience, attached are electronic versions of the documents I gave you today, as well as the invitations to the Chicago NLC 2014-15
events. Thanks again.

Hey John -
Maura emailed you earlier to let you know how bad things are getting. But we haven't gotten the response we need -
we're still $6,814 short for tonight.
If you want to beat Hayworth and Boehner, it’s not enough to just talk about it. You have to donate today.
If (and ONLY if) everyone I’m including here gives $250, we’ll be able to respond to Congresswoman Hayworth’s million
dollar ads and win. Otherwise. . . all Boehner all the time. This is the best link to get the money to the stations FAST :
https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/spmrapidresponse
I’m counting on your help to get us to the winning number.

I'm distressed that DWS hired a convention CEO without consulting us after Charlie and I both told them
repeatedly that we expected to be consulted--and we were under the impression they would. They didn't
consult the White House either.
Madame Secretary, I'm not going to call anyone or say anything until you have your conversation with
DWS, but this concerns me a lot.
John--you, Charlie and I may need to sit down with Debbie to make clear how we want things to change/
improve before we are willing to consider playing ball with them.

Subject: The fight continues
Dear John,
We fought long and hard to strengthen and pass the Climate Security Act in the Senate, and
you played a huge part.
On Friday, there were not enough votes to overcome the filibuster, but our tireless efforts
were hardly in vain. We succeeded in putting a majority of the Senate on record in support
of cap-and-trade legislation, and we have set the stage for significant action next year.
This is a missed opportunity for 2008 and one that will come back to haunt the minority of
Senators who sided with Big Oil and Dirty Coal by refusing to break the filibuster, refusing to
help families struggling with ever-increasing gas prices.
Rest assured, we will let their constituents know where their loyalties lie. That includes Sen.
McConnell, Sen. Inhofe, and their allies who consistently ignore our harmful addiction to
foreign oil and the escalating global warming crisis.
John, it's all about next year, and we need to ramp up our efforts right now. I'm making it a
top priority to elect a 60-vote, filibuster-proof, pro-environment majority this November.
Friends of Big Oil and Dirty Coal will no longer have the power to use the appalling political
stall tactics we have just seen.
Our mission has already begun, and we are shifting into high gear. I can't thank you enough
for your passion and dedication to the environment. We will keep you updated on ways to
stay involved in the most important battle of our generation.
Together, we will pass an even stronger law next year.
Sincerely,
|
Gene Karpinski

John - I'm considering going with Blair Levin as coleader of the
tech/govt reform working group, along with Beth Noveck. Blair was FCC
Chief of Staff; he's now at Stifel Niclaus.
I'd suggested Tom Freedman earlier as coleader with Beth. I definitely
want Tom involved in the group in a serious way, but as I work with Beth
and build the group and workplan, there are several reasons to prefer
Blair as co-lead (ie, more tech & private sector experience).
Not certain yet that Blair can do it, but wanted to see if you had any
issues/questions.

A smooth presidential transition can’t be done in just few weeks and attached.

O'Malley goes on offense.
Wc need to prosecute cheats, we need to reinstate Glass-Stcagall, and if a bank is too big to fail
without wrecking our nation's economy... then it needs to be broken up before it breaks us... again.
Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest repeat-offending investment banks in America. Recently, the
CEO of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that he'd be just fine with either Bush or Clinton.
I bet he would...
Well, I've got news for the bullies of Wall Street -
The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you between two royal families.
It is a sacred trust to be earned from the people of the United States, and exercised on behalf of the
people of the United States.

Dear John,
Next week, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear one of the most significant cases for
abortion access since Roe v. Wade.
The stakes are high — an adverse ruling in this case would shutter nearly all of the
abortion clinics in Texas. Many other states would soon follow suit, and women in even
larger swaths of the country could lose access to abortion care.
That’s why we’ll be rallying on the steps of the Supreme Court on Wednesday
morning to protect abortion access and stand with Whole Woman’s Health.
We urge you to “join” us by voting for your favorite rally sign slogan (or
sharing one of your own).

Subject: [big campaign] Kerry Set To Rip Into McCain
The whole speech reads great on paper, he's on between 9 and 10 ET, after Bill Clinton.
John Kerry Set To Rip Into McCain
Those waiting to hear a more aggressive critique of John McCain at the Democratic National Convention need
to tune in tonight for Sen. John Kerry.
In prepared remarks, the 2004 Democratic nominee pillories McCain with the strongest language yet uttered
from the convention podium.
Kerry describes McCain as "insulting" and "desperate 1 for questioning Obama's patriotism, and "pathetic" for
continuing to support President Bush's war policy; he digs at McCain's age, saying voters should elect a
president based on judgment and character, not "years on this earth"; and he hammers McCain and Bush on
foreign affairs, charging that their policies have left "Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban and dictators
everywhere. ..on the march."
"I have known and been friends with John McCain for almost 22 years," Kerry says at one point during a riff on
the GOP nominee's flip-flops, "but every day now I learn something new about candidate McCain."
"Let me tell you, before he ever debates Barack Obama, John McCain should finish the debate with himself,"
Kerry charges. "Candidate McCain says he would now vote against the immigration bill that Senator McCain
wrote. Are you kidding? Talk about being before it before you're against it."
Finally, Kerry ties McCain to the "fear and smear" tactics of Karl Rove, saying his campaign has "nothing left but
personal attacks."
Beyond the harsh criticisms, Kerry's speech also includes a great deal of praise for Barack Obama's character
and record, and also a nod to the Massachusetts Senator's failed presidential run. "I will always remember how
we stood together in 2004, not just in a campaign, but for a cause," he concludes. "Now again we stand together
in the ranks, ready to fight."

On slide 15, we removed the portion of the bar graph that indicated the

We erred on the side of not including that number in writing on the power
point.

Subject: Politico: Hillary Clinton quits Clinton Foundation
Hillary Clinton quits Clinton Foundation
She joined the board soon after stepping down as secretary of state in 2013.
By Kenneth P. Vogel
4/12/15 6:08 PM EDT
Updated 4/12/15 8:32 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton on Sunday resigned from the board of the Clinton Foundation to focus on her just-launched
presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
Clinton announced her resignation in an email to the foundation’s employees Sunday afternoon, not long after
launching her presidential campaign with a digital media blitz.
“While I have cherished my time serving on the board and engaging in the day-to-day work of the Foundation, in
order to devote myself to this new, all-encompassing endeavor, I have resigned from the Board of Directors
effective today,” she wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO. “As I step down from that position, I know that I am
leaving the Foundation in great hands. I am equally as excited that Chelsea will continue to lead the
Foundation’s mission with Bill, building upon our family’s commitment to help all people live their best life story.”
Hillary Clinton had joined the board of the $2-billion foundation soon after stepping down as Secretary of State
in February 2013. Her daughter Chelsea became vice chair at the same time, and the foundation, which had
been established as the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, was renamed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea
Foundation.
Foundation officials did not immediately respond Sunday afternoon to questions about whether they intended to
rename the non-profit group again or whether they would re-impose a ban on accepting new foreign
contributions now that Hillary Clinton is a declared presidential candidate. The foundation indicated it would
consider foregoing foreign cash during a presidential campaign and potential Clinton administration.
The foundation had accepted restrictions on foreign donations and meetings before Clinton’s confirmation as
secretary of state, at the urging of President Barack Obama’s transition team. But the foundation resumed
accepting foreign cash and holding foreign meetings after Clinton stepped down, drawing fire from Republicans,
who have alleged that the money constitutes a conflict of interest.
Former President Bill Clinton started the foundation with nine staffers in Little Rock, and grew it into an
international charitable powerhouse with 2,200 employees around the world and various initiatives and affiliates,
including fighting AIDS in Africa and childhood obesity at home.
Hillary and Chelsea Clinton championed efforts at the foundation to fight the illegal ivory trade in Africa and had
launched a high-profile initiative called “No Ceilings” to increase the rights and public life participation of women
and girls around the world.
In her Sunday email, Hillary Clinton said she was “thrilled by the opportunity to work together as a family and to
contribute to the life-changing work that Bill began here in New York City nearly 15 years ago.”
She told foundation employees it had been an “honor to work alongside and collaborate with you.” She signed
off, “You have been an integral part of the Foundation’s success, and I look forward to seeing how the

Peter and I were chatting one night when I was in town recently and I was encouraging him to come talk to you

John -
I wanted to let you know what Senator Pressler and I finally connected.
He is going to draft an op-ed endorsing Hillary and send me a draft version in the next two weeks. He will focus his
endorsement on her long time work helping our veterans, as well as her foreign policy background. Ben on the surrogates
team will help him refine his op-ed, and we will place it on his behalf.
Once we have this product, we will use it to book him on TV and radio.
He'd also like to help us on health care. ..he says he was one of the only GOP Senators in '94 who was partially supportive of
her efforts.
Very good discussion. Also says post endorsement, he's happy to help with any "Republicans for Hillary" organizing
activities, and also happy to help us in the Mormon community.
Thanks for connecting us!

John —
Our campaign? It's built from the ground up.
The other side? They're happy relying on billionaires and big checks to fuel their shady outside groups.
We don't have that luxury/ so we rely on you.
In just 24 hours, we'll hit our April fundraising deadline, and right now, we're still $2,400 short of our
grassroots goal. If we're going to stay ahead of special interest groups and Super PACs, then we need you
to step up before the deadline.
24 HOURS TO GO: Will you donate $10 or more before midnight tomorrow to
become a grassroots supporter of our campaign?
Less than four months since I came to Washington, the other side has already targeted me with nasty
attacks ads. They're trying to tear us down, and ultimately, defeat us.
I'm determined to keep fighting for the hardworking people of Illinois, but I need your help to do it.
Will you step up before tomorrow's deadline?

I hope I can count on you.

McCain bush and priorities scripts. Also, McCain "Bomb bomb bomb" spots which could be updated with his

Subject: New Communications Hub
Dear Hansjorg,
I’m sorry I missed your party last weekend. I heard it was a great event.
As I promised, I interviewed the person proposed to run the campaign communications hub we discussed at the last board
meeting. After a long search and many discussions of what would work best to aid the campaigns the Foundation is
funding, the staff selected Arkadi Gemey who has been running CAP Action Fund. While I knew and was
generally impressed with his work at CAPAF, I didn't work directly with him so I came to the interview with fresh eyes.
After the interview I am convinced he is an excellent choice. His skill set fits well with what I believe is needed to
successfully run the campaign and communications “war room." I thought his strategic approach to the
communications Hub and how to run campaigns and enhance the work and effectiveness of the grantees was spot on. He
has the experience and vision to make this concept work and to be a great force multiplier for existing grantee
partners. Because there will be some growing pains as with all new ventures, I recommend we commit to three years
(assuming no performance issues) to allow enough time to provide proof of concept. I recommend going forward and
hiring him. If you would like to discuss, please call me at 202-999-0738.

Another billionaire v the people of California
over beach access Editorial LA Times
California Coastal Commission Survey Exhibit
South of Half Moon Bay, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla is fighting the
[the people of California,] California Coastal Commission and the Surfrider
Foundation, an environmental group, over a half-mile road that snakes across his
53-acre rural property. The road is the only dry land access from Highway 1 to
what's known as Martins Beach. Since the 1920s, people have walked or driven it
to the beach to fish, surf and swim. The previous owners even did a little business
with the beachgoers, charging for parking, running a convenience store near the
shoreline and maintaining restrooms.
Khosla, who bought the property in 2008 for $32.5 million but does not live on it,
says he initially kept the road open but closed it intermittently — as, he says, the
previous owners did. But in 2009, he ran afoul of San Mateo County officials who
said the access was intended to be year-round, and ordered him to keep the gate
open or apply for a permit to do otherwise. Khosla went to court. A San Mateo
County Superior Court judge ruled that Khosla should either get permission to
close the gate or work out an alternative. Instead, Khosla closed the gate and
halted all public access. . . .
Up and down California, public access is constantly under siege as beachfront
property owners battle with the Coastal Commission over pathways, parking, decks
and fire rings. . . .
The reason the pathway should stay open is that the public has been using it for
nearly 100 years. The Coastal Commission has begun a survey to make a case
that the public has "prescriptive rights" to it by virtue of that long tradition.
Already, dozens of beachgoers have submitted declarations documenting —
sometimes with photos — their use and their families' use of the pathway going
back to the 1920s.
The road should not be closed. . . . Property owners in the California coastal zone
do not have an automatic right to tamper with the public's access to the water.

public trails open for all. See, for example:

» The stars of meteorology were aligned as the White House made its case on climate change.
»
» NBC’s Al Roker was there, along with more than 100 national and local television weather forecasters —
some of them doing their TV hits from the White House lawn. They met with the president and his advisers. And
the administration hoped the broadcasters’ popular appeal would help sell the public on the need to take action
on global warming.
»
» No, that wasn’t the big climate-weather outreach<https://www.politicopro.com/story/energy/?id=33545> that
the Obama White House held on Tuesday. It was a quite similar event <http://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/02/us/
clinton-nudges-tv-forecasters-on-warming.html> that the Clinton White House held in October 1997, as that
administration was preparing for discussions of a global climate agreement in Kyoto, Japan.
»
» But yes, Roker was invited both times.
»
» Bracewell & Giuliani energy specialist Frank Maisano pointed out the coincidence Tuesday morning, in an
email with the subject line: “Seems like we’ve done this before.”
»
» As with President Barack Obama’s event on Tuesday, the hope for then-President Bill Clinton’s administration
was that the TV forecasters could reach viewers who weren’t paying attention to — or being informed by — the
usual White House press corps.
»
» “You, just in the way you comment on the events that you cover, may have a real effect on the American
people,” Clinton told the broadcasters, according to The New York Times’ coverage of the two-day seminar. He
added, “I do think it’s very important, since you have more influence than anybody does on how the American
people think about this, that at least you know what you believe and how you think we should proceed.”
»
» The Times remarked: “Playing host to the nation’s television weather forecasters was the most innovative
step in a White House campaign to rally public support for new binding global targets for restricting greenhouse
gases.”
»
» Of course, the Senate never ratified the Kyoto agreement.
»
» The Obama administration is now in a similar position as it prepares for international talks in Paris with hopes
of reaching a binding global agreement on how to counteract climate change. But Obama has also gone ahead
with regulations to tackle the problem, including next month’s debut of EPA rules meant to throttle greenhouse
gas pollution from thousands of power plants.
»
» “The only difference seems to be the underlying use of regulations to do it more effectively this time,”
Maisano commented. “Clinton and his folks wanted to regulate power plants, but never went that far.”

Hi John - It was great to see you for dinner on Tuesday. Glad you're enjoying what you're doing. Steve and I
spoke about diverse candidates who could serve in the administration, reviewed the lists from 2009, and came
up with three top-level candidates. I or Steve or both of us have worked with each of them and can personally
vouch for them. Their resumes are attached.
JULIE MARTINEZ ORTEGA - Julie has a J.D. and a Ph.D. in Social Policy. Ironically enough, her dissertation
was on health insurance enrollment patterns of Mexican American children. She currently serves as a Senior
Advisor to the Democracy Alliance's Latino Engagement Fund, and I have frequently called on her for advice on
the work I'm doing at the Foundation. She also works with Steve in PowerPAC's DC office (she and Steve are
college friends). HHS would probably be the best fit for her. Or Labor, as Julie has extensive experience doing
research for the labor movement.
ROSA MARIA CASTANEDA - Rosa currently works at the Pew Charitable Trust as Manager of Government
Performance. She led Pew's 3-year strategic planning effort looking at their work in state budget and economic
policy, youth workforce, and employment. She has a unique mix of fiscal, economic, and social policy. HHS or
the Domestic Policy Counsel would be good fits for her.
SMEETA RAMARATHNAM - Smeeta is South Asian, and we may have discussed her before as she was being
considered for one of the SEC Commissioner openings. She is currently the Chief of Staff to Commissioner
Aguilar and has worked at the SEC for almost nine years now (previously, she worked for Commissioner
Campos). Prior to going to the SEC, Smeeta was a securities lawyer at Foley and Lardner. We think she'd
make an excellent Assistant Secretary in Treasury.
We've got a few more feelers out and will let you know what we come up with. So glad you're trying to move on
these diversity issues!
Best,
Susan

Hi John,
I'm attaching (and will print for your review in the morning) an updated version of the read-ahead, with material from NSC and
CEQ and a "goals" call-out as you requested.
I also spoke with Rohan about several pending items, but he flagged a couple of things it may be good to emphasize to the group
Thursday:
Encouraging Cabinet participation around the National Climate Assessment - doing interviews, social media, etc (I made
a couple of small tweaks to the item to note that it's an opportunity for all federal agencies in the text)
Making sure non-EPA agencies are read into the power plant rule - talking to state leaders about their implementation
plans ahead of the rule roll-out in the course of their normal conversations, getting the latest TPs into briefing books, etc
- to try and amplify, at least within state governments, some of the outreach McCarthy has been doing. Rohan would like
to see them doing public things, but I think that's probably a harder sell. May be worth flagging, though. This is not
reflected in any changes in the attached.
Will touch base with you in the morning on all of the above.
Thanks!
KLC

The first link is to a segment from the John Oliver show on tobacco. It is both very funny and very disturbing
The second link is to an article about the reaction of Gates and Bloomberg to the issues describe. We may join them.
Lastly is an email discussing related issues and the trade agreement.
Am I wrong to be concerned?

Subject: more on tobacco company lawsuits
Herb,
In case this is of interest. The tobacco lawsuits against countries are made under investor-state dispute
mechanism (ISDS) whose expansion appears to be a key part of the European and Pacific trade deals being
negotiated by our US Trade Representative.
The article below references a letter to Congress and the US Trade Rep expressing concerns about ISDS, signed
by over a hundred legal scholars.
Here’s a brief on ISDS lawsuits, from notes I had taken a few months ago:
Under the "Investor-State” dispute system, individual corporations have equal standing with national governments of
signatory countries. They can skirt domestic laws and courts and sue governments directly before tribunals of three
private sector lawyers, under a World Bank or UN system.
o Tribunals are made of panels of three attorneys who rotate between being "judges” and bringing cases against
governments on behalf of corporations.
o $3.5 billion has been paid to foreign investors under such deals, there are around $14 billion in claims pending,
targeting environmental, energy, and public health policies for "indirect expropriation."
o Corporations like Exxon and Dow have launched 500 cases against 95 governments under similar rules in other
trade agreements
o The rules allow for compensation for loss of "expected future profits" caused by health, labor, and environmental
laws (indirect or regulatory "takings" compensation)
"Minimum standard treatment" provisions in the new trade deals could have a chilling effect or in some cases hold
regulation at a standstill, because new protections on health and the environment affecting a company’s profit would
entitle the company to compensation.

UPDATE l-Push against investment rules in U.S.
trade deals picks up
Thu Mar 12, 2015 12:22am 1ST
(Adds quote from letter, updates signatories, adds link to letter, quote from USTR)
(Reuters) - Law professors from across the United States urged lawmakers to keep rules to protect foreign investors
out of trade pacts on Wednesday, warning they would give big companies too much power.
The warning came in a letter from 129 law professors and lecturers, from schools including Columbia and Harvard.
It marked the latest step in a campaign against investor-state dispute settlement, or ISDS, laws spearheaded by
influential Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.
"ISDS threatens domestic sovereignty by empowering foreign corporations to bypass domestic court systems and
privately enforce terms of a trade agreement," the letter said.
Warren told reporters that the letter showed rules allowing private companies to seek compensation from
governments "should raise alarm bells for everyone."
United Nations figures show investor-state claims have jumped since 2002, with high-profile cases such as a
challenge by tobacco company Philip Morris' Asian arm to Australia's plain cigarette packaging law.
Consumer group Public Citizen and the libertarian Cato Institute have both warned that cases against the United
States may increase as more large companies are headquartered outside the country.
The U.S. Trade Representative's office released a fact sheet to rebut what it said were incorrect claims and said
most ISDS cases were brought by individuals or small and medium sized businesses.
"ISDS arbitration is needed because the potential for bias can be high in situations where a foreign investor is
seeking to redress injury in a domestic court, especially against the government itself," USTR said.
National Association of Manufacturers Vice President Linda Dempsey said many foreign governments
discriminated against U.S. companies, stole technology and denied them fair treatment.
"ISDS provides an internationally recognized enforcement mechanism that ensures investors an objective hearing
if a foreign government denies the most basic internationally recognized rights," she said.
A Center for Strategic and International Studies report found 40 percent of claims arose in sectors with high levels
of state intervention, such as oil, and most are against countries with weak legal institutions, like Argentina and
Venezuela.
U.S. companies have brought 15 percent of pending cases before the World Bank's International Center for
Settlement of Investment Disputes. There are no pending cases against Washington, which has never lost a case.
The rules are also a source of controversy in a proposed trade pact with the European Union, with particularly
fierce opposition in Germany, Europe's largest exporter.

Subject: Drugs and Terror Monster conjugated
Gideon Rodeh mondl967@015.net.il
I have been corresponding with the White House for many Y ears beginnings as
Early as Nine Eleven Horrendousness trying to avert such a recurrence by any feasible Technique According to my
analysis a breakthrough advent has appeared with Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles Development proved being capable of hitting
even point targets. It is well known that Afghanistan has World record of Poppy Opium Production of about 200 tons
annually yielded from a cultivated 157,000 hectares area. That enormous dope amount (90% of world opium production) is
in my opinion the main financial source for Terror Organizations' Weaponry Acquisition. According to my assessment, UAV
could have been Redemption for Entire Mankind if being utilized as follows:
2,4 D Defoliant is splashed on the Narcotic Vegetation causing its Desertification within several days inevitably. The
following favorable consequences might have been anticipated:
1) Severing of Terror Organizations from their Financial Source that dry up with
Narcotic Vegetation Desertification
2) Salvation of millions of Potential Drug Addicts from Awful Agony and Death
3) Rehabilitation of US Deterrence that has weakened considerably after Nine Eleven
Horrendousness
4) Precipitation of NATO Troops Evacuation from Afghanistan as a result of UAV
Bombardment Intensification resulting in Terror Suppression Reinforcement
5) Deterrence of El-Qaida Reactivation by leaving a Souvenir of dry Poppy-Opium
Bushes from pulling out NATO Troops
6) I suggest having a Debate in the Senate that might hopefully lead to successful termination of the Afghan War after being
stuck in its Marsh for 12 long years
7) Waiting for your Response as US friend since 1948
8) There could not have been any doubt about terminating the Armed Conflict in Afghanistan Honorably averting an
Ignominious ending up as currently impending.
9) Similarly, Central American Dope Smuggling could have been drastically diminished by UAV Utilization for Narcotic
Vegetation Eradication Grown on
Mountainous Gradients. Very large amounts of Dope are smuggled annually into the
US having found hitherto no efficacious way of overcoming that calamity
10) Please contact me by scheduling a meeting at US Embassy in Tel -Aviv for Clarifications with your experts' participation
specializing in Explosives, Electronics and Aviation
11) 1 have got all the required specifications for getting mankind be extricated from the two conjugated calamities, Drugs
inundation and Terror attacks of Innocent Population thanks to UAV activities.
12) To my great astonishment, my correspondence versus US Senate Committee on Armed Services has been irresponsive
despite the extraordinary importance for entire
Civilization Meanwhile as many as one billion of Muslims are threatening America encouraged by their Nine Eleven
Precedent Success
13) In reminiscence, as many as 50,000 Aircraft were ordered according to Presidents' Roosevelt Ordinance after the
Japanese Attack of Pearl Harbor while
7000 UAV by comparison are being idled in Storage letting the Afghan Armed Conflict be continued indefinitely.
14) Please let me explicate for US Air-Force an efficacious way emerging victorious from Afghan Entanglement in favor of
Entire Mankind instead of suffering an ignominious defeat.
15) To my great surprise, US Does not exercise its Self Defense Right according to UN Charter Chapter 51 (1946), enabling
Criminal Organizations of Third World Countries attacking it with impunity. Nine Eleven Catastrophe could have been
averted if the US had utilized its complete Arsenal particularly UAV in high numbers instead of being kept idle in Magazines.
16) I propose meeting your Experts for UAV, Explosives and Electronics at US Embassy in Tel Aviv for thorough debate
about Dual Headed Monster Decapitation in favor of beleaguered Mankind believing in great success of my Innovative
Unprecedented Method as an only feasible efficacious expedient against it.
17) Is White House Correspondence Team busy to such an extent being unable responding even most important letters?
18) To my great Astonishment Dereliction of US Air Force results in smuggling of
Tremendous Dope Amount from Central America via Mexico into the US with its
Awful damage for many millions American's Health
19) I don't see any reason for hesitancy! The President may issue tomorrow an ordinance in order to open emergency
Magazines, getting ten thousands of UAV

Aloft in order to achieve Narcotic Vegetation Desertification with achievement for
Posterity
20) Emerge preferably with an Upper hand honorably instead of being ignominiously defeated!
21) Despite being Non US Citizen I think to have done my best in assisting ending up
Afghan War victoriously thanks to my Innovative Narcotic Vegetation Eradication Method, however not a single word
of Acknowledgement has hitherto
Reached my mailbox! In my opinion, Disparagement and Ungratefulness are conjugated at least according to my feeling!
22) There could not have been any justification keeping as many as 7000 UAV unused in magazines instead of operating
them against Nine Eleven Cruel enemy. Moreover, US taxpayers have already paid for that arsenal!
23) I believe Mr. Attorney General that Narcotic Vegetation Desertification Utilizing UAV is the only Feasible way of getting
Mankind been extricated from the Doubling Stricken Menace Grabbing, Drug and Terror Simultaneously.
24) November election is going to be beginning of President Obama last Congress Tenure working with but if the President
is being able indicating a monumental achievements, He might have been eligible into the Parlor of great Leaders having
annihilated Drugs and Terror calamities for Posterity affluence
25) Wiping out Narcotic Vegetation and launching consequently an Overwhelming
Strike on Terror Organizations by UAV Utilization might have been an Unprecedented Achievement of Entire Mankind and
President Obama personally.
26) Incredibly, no reaction has come from the White House in latest four years despite
My pure intention for assistance for the US as well as Entire Civilization!
27) In my opinion Nobel Institute might have contributed to a very great extent to Drug and Terror Monster Decapitation in
favor of Entire Civilization.
28) Prime Minister of Israel might have contributed a great role in exerting an influence on US and Western Governments in
General in a Universal Effort of Dual Headed Monster, Drugs and Terror simultaneous eradication

Gary, Dennis and John,
Hope guys are enjoying the holidays.
Robert Roche is going to be in NYC on 12/16 and 12/17. We were hoping to come in to follow-up on our
conversation this past summer.
As you probably know, we’re making great progress with Ed Meier and the policy working groups. We’re also
talking with Maura Keefe, Ed and Gary about bringing Bus Fwd’s members to Brooklyn for a tour and briefing.
(We did something similar in Chicago for the Obama/Biden re-elect, and it was very successful.) We’re also
making great progress with the Convention teams about programming in Philadelphia.
Robert and I would like to continue our conversation about list swaps with Business Forward, as well as other
help we can provide individually.
If you are available for drinks/dinner on 12/16 (in Brooklyn or Manhattan), or a meeting during the morning of 1 2/
17, we would greatly appreciate it.
Jim

Taxi Mogul. Filing Bankruptcy. Sees Uber-Citibank Plot
The Upshot (NYT) -Josh Barro
Evgeny Freidman, the taxi mogul, warned New York officials this spring that he was too big to fail and asked for a bailout of the taxi
industry. Fie didn't get one. So, on Wednesday, he filed a petition to put many of his taxi medallion-owning companies into
bankruptcy.
Social Security Disability Benefits Face Cuts in 2016, Trustees Sav
New York Times - Robert Pear
The trustees of Social Security, including three cabinet secretaries, said the disability trust fund would be depleted in the last quarter of
2016. After that, they said, benefits would automatically be cut by 19 percent because revenues, largely from payroll taxes, would be
sufficient to cover only 81 percent of scheduled benefit payments.

I.R.S. Targets Tax Dodge by Private Equity Firms
New York Times - Gretchen Morgenson
The Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday proposed a rule aimed at ending a common and lucrative practice among private equity
firms that allows them to artificially lower their partners' personal income tax bills.
In labor victory, fast food workers in New York will get a $15 minimum wage
Wonkblog - Lydia DePillis
The boost comes as a result of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's decision to convene a Wage Board, which has the power to set a new minimum
for the fast food industry's 200,000 workers in New York without the approval of the state legislature. On Wednesday, the Board
recommended that the new floor be phased in, rising to $15 by the end of 2018 in New York City, and July of 2021 for the rest of the
state.
Uber triumphs as New York City officials abandon plans to limit transportation company
Wonkblog - Emily Badger
Officials here on Wednesday abruptly abandoned plans to rein in the powerful tech and transit company Uber, dropping a fiercely

#BlackLivesMatter shows there are problems in American life that can't be blamed on the rich
Vox - Matthew Yglesias
The bad run-ins with #BlackLivesMatter activists that Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley had at the Netroots Nation conference were

activists are trying to advance. But Julia Azari, a political scientist at Marquette University, points out that there's a deeper tension

Is the push for a Sl5-an-hour minimum wage a good idea?
Vox - Matthew Yglesias
The $15 figure is not an accident ; but it's also not the product of careful research. It's a slogan from an activist movement — Fight for

Sanders rallies for $15 minimum wage
The Hill - Tim Devaney
The Democratic presidential candidate is pushing legislation that would raise the minimum wage for all workers to $15 an hour by
2020. It's part of a larger effort by Sanders to turn the spotlight on income inequality on the campaign trail.
Capitol Food Workers Brine Income Inequality to Congress' Front Step
Roll Call - Bridget Bowman
The previous Capitol protests called on President Barack Obama to take executive action to raise contract-worker wages, which would

presidential candidate and Sen. Bernard Sanders, t-Vt., and Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., announced at the rally they would introduce
legislation to more than double the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

John Podesta: Click here to respond to the Democratic Strategy Questionnaire »
John — Democrats have a very serious problem on our hands.
Democrats got shellacked in yet another off-year election with historically low turnout last month. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi diagnosed Democrats' number-one electoral problem: voter turnout.
ifiU
Leader Pelosi is 100% correct: Democrats will not be able to take back lost majorities in Congress or state legislatures unless we improve our voter turnout.
We have less than a year to mobilize, John.
Take our Democratic Strategy Questionnaire to help us mobilize Democratic voters in 2016 >>
How do we do improve turnout? We organize.
As veteran organizers who've worked on some of the most competitive Congressional races in the entire country, we know what it takes to improve turnout.
It takes organizing to persuade Democrats who don't always vote to get to the polls. It's a big effort, but we have proven strategies and know how to get it done. We just need the resources to do it.
John, we're trying to build a sustainable organization that can improve voter turnout among Democrats for election cycles to come. This is the first step.
Take our Democratic Strategy Questionnaire so we don't have to face another big loss in 2016:

No street running or walking for that matter. The first time I was there I carved out 1/2 mile track around the
parking lot and swimming pool, all behind the Jersey barriers. The second time, the hotel had a treadmill, but
you had to hold on to the handle bars because the left side and the right side were on separate belts going at
slightly different speeds. Neither ideal.

"I applaud President Obama, Secretary Kerry and our negotiating team for helping deliver a
new, ambitious international climate agreement in Paris. This is an historic step forward in
meeting one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century — the global crisis of climate
change.
The Paris agreement is testament to America’s ability to lead the world in building a clean
energy future where no one is left out or left behind. And it was made possible in part by every
person, business owner, and community in the United States and around the world that stepped
up to prove we don’t have to choose between growing our economy and protecting our kids’
health and future — we can do both.
But we will only succeed if we redouble our efforts going forward to drive innovation,
increase investment, and reap the benefits of the good-paying jobs that will come from
transitioning to a clean energy economy. The next decade of action is critical — because if we
do not press forward with driving clean energy growth and cutting carbon pollution across the
economy, we will not be able to avoid catastrophic consequences.
We cannot afford to be slowed by the climate skeptics or deterred by the defeatists who doubt
America’s ability to meet this challenge. That’s why as President, I will make combating
climate change a top priority from day one, and secure America’s future as the clean energy
superpower of the 21st century."

Dear John,
Ben Carson has a money problem. A big one.
He may have raked in $21 million last quarter, but 54 cents of every dollar he raised is
going right back into fundraising.
It's a colossal waste of his donors' support and hard-earned money. Luckily,
no Democrats are making that same mistake.
Because of the powerful fundraising tools we've built over the past 10 years at ActBlue,
candidates on our side can raise money from grassroots money and put it straight into
organizing work. That's how they win elections.
If you want to help Democrats build strong, grassroots campaigns now and
in the future, chip in $15 a month to help us expand our tools so we can
help even more campaigns.
Because you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your

"Republican candidates are at a disadvantage because there's no GOP equivalent to
ActBlue."
That's what The Atlantic had to say about the GOP's abysmal grassroots
fundraising numbers.
We know first hand how hard it is for campaigns to raise money online effectively, and
we've been working to make it easier for Democrats for over 10 years.
And all that hard work pays off when Democrats are able to raise money faster and more
effectively than their Republican challengers.
Will you chip in $15 a month to help us keep improving our tools so we can
hold onto our advantage?

One note just for you and jen:
Kelley talked to me about NSN, Rand, and their decision to cut them off and also desire that CAP absorb them.
She also said you john had said you were not sure you were interested and couldnt decide anytime soon. She
pressed that, if we were to do so and do so before her march meeting, that would be great for her. Pete had
Rudy doing a review of strategic space in Nat'l security — cnas, other groups, who might remain, etc. after that

Mostly good news. First the good.
Spoke to Kelly. American Progress is again a recommended APO in the ideas area and this portfolio will last for
3 years.
Most of the existing ideas groups were renewed. (CCC reclassified; kirwan dropped.). Again no targets although
ranges of levels of support smaller groups could absorb. They added a legal subgroup and ACS, Brennan, and
one other I didnt know were added.
What's more they have a good number of new partners who say they are signing up, and virtually everyone has
said they are interested in CAP. We chatted briefly about my new friend Jack Hidary from DA dinner/cash for
clunkers among these.
bad news: felicia wong will talk to us about AGAIN refining their metrics and biannual reporting. And a significant
evaluation of the portfolio will begin 18 months into the 3 year period.
Finally, we talked about how to predict level of contributions. On one hand the partners are more commited to
change and the moment than ever. Upbeat. And new partners are high on CAP. On other hand, big ones are
predicting deep financial woes. Kelly's best guess was we plan for 20 percent less than 08 and be pleasantly
surprised when we do better. Its just a guess, but...

Subject: [big campaign] Minnesota state shutdown
As workers protest. Minnesota government shuts
down
Union members: 'We want to work for Minnesota!'
By Sam Lane \ 07.01.11 I 8:00 am
The Minnesota Independent
Nere, a worker in the state’s Department of Labor and Industry and a member of the Minnesota Association of
Professional Employees, began chatting with a student representative from Minnesota College Republicans
about the numbers behind the budget dispute that has caused a historic shutdown.
“This is going to be a tragedy,” Nere said, scanning a growing crowd at the Capitol. “It’s going to be a huge
hardship. Are we going to look like Minnesota, or are we going to look like Mississippi?”
With Gov. Mark Dayton unable to come to terms with Republican legislative leaders on a budget deal late
Thursday night, the state government shut down and the fate of up to 23,000 state employees who have
received layoff notices is highly uncertain.
A crowd of hundreds of state workers, including members of Minnesota’s two largest public employees’ unions
— MAPE and AFSCME Council 5 — filled the steps of the Capitol Thursday night for a Shutdown Eve Vigil.
Protesters held small signs — most calling for increased taxes on the state’s wealthiest 2 percent — as they
dabbed sweat from their faces. Cries of “We want to work for Minnesota!” and “Tax the rich!” rang through the
area. Participants ranged from those in wheelchairs to infants to disgruntled, but motivated state workers.
Even a few legislators made their way to a window at the front of the Capitol, holding candles and watching the
protest.
“The Republican legislature has spent the last six months bashing and demonizing public employees,” AFSCME
Council 5 director Eliot Seide shouted into a microphone at the top of the steps to a chorus of boos.

Easthagen
Throughout the night, religious leaders and public employees made their way to the microphone, using rhetoric
of “brothers and sisters” to address the crowd. The Twin Cities Labor Chorus sang “This land is your land,”
among other songs. Speakers discussed the importance of the public sector, bashing the GOP-controlled
legislature for what they perceived as disdain towards state employees. They spoke in support of Dayton, calling
for the DFL governor to stay strong through the conversations.
“Tonight, our hearts and souls go out to all of you because it’s the public sector that makes this state work,” said
Marcia Zimmerman, a rabbi at Minneapolis’ Temple Israel.

But ralliers with highly negative attitudes flooded the Capitol entrance.
Rebecca Carpentier works for HIRED, an agency which helps low-income adults, dislocated workers, welfare-to-
work individuals, refugees and youth find jobs and job training.
“We’re putting people to work only to find out they can’t work,” said Carpentier. “That’s bullshit ... Everyone
wants the workforce working. I work at an agency to do that. But they’re cutting our fingers and toes off.”
Nearby, B.J. Wuollet engaged members of the College Republicans — seemingly the only conservative
representation on the steps of the Capitol — in an argument about the role of government.
“My sister will not be able to feed her children or take them to the doctor,” said Wuollet, who was frequently
heard telling the small group of Republicans they were “bumming Jesus out.”
Ryan Lyk, chairman of Minnesota College Republicans, fired back, calling Dayton’s unwillingness to sign a
budget bill a “bad move.”

shutdown. Photo: Kathy
Easthagen
“At the very least, they need to figure out their differences,” Lyk said. “We need to keep government going to
some extent.”
Dayton addressed the press and many Republican legislators as protestors continued to shout and sing, the St.
Paul skyline behind them.
“I deeply regret that the last week of intense negotiations between the Republican legislative leaders and
Senator Bakk, Representative Thissen, and myself have failed to bridge the divide between us,” Dayton said
After Dayton and Republicans put all their offers on the table, a $1.4 billion gap remained between the two
proposals, the governor said. He added that he, Thissen and Bakk made two offers Thursday, which involved
raising revenues by increases taxes only on Minnesotans who make more than $1 million per year. Dayton said
the Department of Revenue reported that figure includes 0.3 percent of the state’s population.
“I will continue — tonight, tomorrow, and however long it takes — to find a fair and balance compromise,” Dayton
said to close his speech. “I welcome Republicans to join with me - my door is always open. I believe the people
of Minnesota are with me. I ask them to join me in standing up for our State’s future.”
Republican lawmakers said the rift remains because they can’t support Dayton’s plan for dealing with the state’s
$5 billion deficit.
“We will not saddle our children and grandchildren with mounds of debts, with promises for funding levels that
will not be there in the future,” House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, said, according to the Star
Tribune . “This is debt that they can’t afford. It’s debt that we can’t afford right now.”
As the midnight deadline neared and Twitter buzzed with thoughts on the shutdown and complaints about the
state’s politicians, the gathering at the Capitol began to disperse.
“It’s time for [Republican legislators] to act responsibly,” Seide told the Minnesota Independent after the vigil. “A
little adult action would be nice. I just hope the legislators can come to their senses quickly.”

Attaching for your review a draft op-ed from HRC reflecting on the Pope's message on climate change. The
intent is to place this ASAP this week in the National Catholic Reporter, which reached out asking for a reflection
on faith and the Pope's political message. This incorporates high-level feedback from JDP.
Please send feedback and clearances by 6pm if possible so we can get this to tonight's book. If folks have vocal

[big campaign] Meet Bruce Majors: The Tea Partier Advising Beck Rally-Goers To Stay Off The
Green And Yellow Lines
http://thinkproaress.ora/2010/08/25/bruce-majors-profile/
Meet Bruce Majors: The Tea Partier Advising Beck Rally-Goers To Stay Off
The Green And Yellow Lines
Bruce Majors
On Monday, a Maine tea party blog created a sensation when it published a “ visitor's guide ” to Washington, D.C. for
tea party activists coming to the city this weekend to attend Fox News host Glenn Beck’s big rally. The guide was widely mocked
on blogs and cable news for its paranoid warnings about the vast majority of the city, but overlooked so far is the author of the guide — right-
wing activist Bruce Majors.
While the guide’s absurd warnings could be dismissed as written by an overly-cautious out-of-towner who doesn’t understand that D.C., Majors should
know better — he’s “ lived and worked in DC since 1980 (in 3 of the cities 4 quadrants),” according to his blog. Majors should also be intimately
acquainted with the unsafe zones of the city, as he is a Realtor who is currently listing several homes this company has many more ) deep
within the forbidden zone, and even near the dreaded Green and Yellow Metro lines. And apparently his political views seep into his business, as one
client was forced to find another agent after Majors “was extremely inappropriate when he began discussing President Obama and how evil he is .”
But “Majors is no mere small-time troll or newcomer.” He is an active “Tea Party community organizer in Washington, D.C.,” and a major online
organizer, especially at Tea Party Patriots . On that site, he is the second biggest poster of all time, with 2277 messages, to the group’s official
email listerv:
All time
2868 Brian Bertha
2277 Bruce
1949 Rick C
1733 Dodae
935 hobbsteapartv
866 Fritz
787 sheri1449
715 Saska
He's organized protests online, and is the owner of the Tea Party Professionals group on Linkedin. He was also identified as a “LP [Libertarian
Party] campaigner and everyone’s-facebook-friend” by a libertarian blog. He also appears to have written for the American Spectator, among other
publications.
A frequent commenter on progressive blogs, Majors describes himself on his OpenSalon.com profile as an “ Anarcho-capitalist
revolutionary sharpening his guillotine.” On Talking Points Memo — where he was flagged with a “Troll Alert” and the subject to a lengthy profile —
his bio states that he is “[Ijooking for employment as auillotine operator for citizens' tribunal.”
Indeed, elsewhere in Majors ‘extensive online presence, there is a clear flirtation with violence as a political tool. In a Facebook note titled “ We will
remember in November .” Majors listed the names of all the members of Congress who voted for the Affordable Care Act — dubbed the “The
Executioner’s List” — followed by a picture of a guillotine and accompanied by this call to action:
Call Capitol Hill and promise them retribution. Not just in their next race, but in their attempt to run for or be appointed to ANY office, and
any private enterprise they will engage in in the future. And any member of their family.
Commenting on a TPM story, Majors wrote, “Poor walking cadaver [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid [D-NV] shouldn’t run fake tea party candidates

to split the opposition vote against him. Someone might drop a plane on him. They already dropped a truck on his family,” referring to a car accident
that seriously injured Reid's wife and daughter. His Facebook page also features two jokes about President Obama’s death (and that he is a
Muslim), and a picture of a sign referencing the Thomas Jefferson quote, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants .”
Like his visitor’s guide, which offered advice to dealing with “ African immigrants ,” Major’s other writings have clear racial undertones. In a tweet
linking to an article about Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and affirmative action, Majors wrote, “ Kagan says Obama is 'mv niggah In
another tweet linking to a video of Obama, Majors tweeted, “ Poor little flop eared bitch . People are so mean to him.” Upon news of White House
economic adviser Christina Romer’s upcoming departure, Majors tweeted, “Congratulations Christiina Romer! A house slave is now free . But all us
field slaves are still in chains!” On the Shirley Sherrod dust up, Majors wrote
[Ijt is clear that most black Democrats in politics & the media are complete knaves and idiots (much like their white counterparts).
The purpose of their constant race focus is, as Angela Codevilla discusses in his American Spectator article, to have a charge, racism, which
which they can convict average Americans of a crime so they can then demand to enslave them.
Majors also posted a picture on his Facebook page comparing Fist Lady Michele Obama to Chewbacca from Star Wars:
Separated at Birth?
In addition, Majors appears to be a birther, posting images on his Facebook page of a foraed Kenyan birth certificate that birthers claim is authentic,
and several birther ioke images , including a sign saying, “Illegal immigration is destroying this county — look what it did to the White House.”
TPM’s Troll Watch reported that Majors has also conducted “ direct e-mail harassment and identity theft against liberals,” using stolen screen names
to harass commentors on blogs he has been banned from. Indeed, he is the subject of several threads on online forums warning about his
harassment, and he reportedly told one woman who accused him of using multiple screen names to hide his identity, “ you silly facist bitch . Do not
tell me what screen name I can use or what I am free to say.”

Dear Mary and John,
Zoe raved about the pork loin she had at your home several years ago. So, we think of you often and
especially when we use John's "pork loin mb" recipe.
Thank God, we are all well. Zoe is still in Florence on her semester abroad from UCSB and returns
December 19th. I went to visit her in October. Nick went fishing in Alaska this summer and brought back
50 pounds of salmon and halibut.
We send you our best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family.
Love,
Maria, Nick and Zoe

Sorry to come in late - very bad wireless access the last two days.
I have one big, general concern with these scripts which is that none of them connect to breaking down barriers
message she is using. In fact none of them connect with anything she is saying on the road (except WJC and
Obama examples). I don't see a clear way to connect these to earned media.

more compelling than what's suggested in the ad. Seems hard to communicate the policy in a 30, but worth at
least finding out if people see it as better or more exciting than just saying they pay a price for sending jobs.

John/Robby/Jen/Jake -
Wanted to pass along a script packet that the TV team is working on to test in groups tonight/Monday - which will
inform a decisions for next week in March 15 states. We're roughing a couple of them for groups tonight, and also
working on some filming opportunities (workers, HRC speech on March 4 th , etc.). But see if you feel like the messages
here are on track.
GMMB went ahead and took a cut at "Makers" - which I think visually works really nicely.

pw: fridaytest
Few additional notes:
1. "This President" was at the request of President Clinton - for testing purposes
2. We're also testing "Sophie the Giraffe": https://app.frame.io/f/uS55uFiDV
3. We don't think Dennis Leary is actually doing the VO on "wham bam" - but would be a similar style gritty VO.
4. Jake - a few specific questions:
a. In "Makers" - are we now OK with this: Will be the President who will force companies that outsource
jobs or move profits overseas to pay a price.
b. And "In Places Like This" - with: And make them pay a penalty if they ever outsource jobs overseas
[slight edit from script].
Please share any and all feedback, this afternoon ideally, as folks are mocking a couple of these up for groups. But
work will continue into the weekend.
Thanks.

Subject: Happy New Year, We Did It!
Happy New Year John & Mary,
After all of our pushing, thanks to you, we met our goal for the end of quarter deadline. Let me tell you, I am very
proud of what we were able to do together in this last quarter. We were able to exceed our goal in just under
three months, which is no small feat.
But now as we welcome the new year we will set our focus ahead on what matters most which is fighting for
working families. So I am asking you to continue on this journey and stand with me through election day.
Together we can be formidable and bring the fight to the halls of Congress.
Happy New Year, peace, and blessings from my family to yours!
Thankfully,
Joseline

Subject: [big campaign] FW: McCain's lobbyist problem
Hey folks,
This started going out to our list just a few minutes ago and we are going to use it to try and get some traction on the lobbyist angle. We think that
personifying Charlie Black is the way to go. Please pile on if interested.
The poll can also be accessed from our homepage, http://www.moveon.org.

Subject: [Bounce] (2,643,657; IDef9d42; 12651) McCain's lobbyist problem
Dear MoveOn member,
John McCain says he's a defender of democracy. But the folks running his campaign have been playing for the other team.
Two of John McCain's senior campaign staff were forced to resign this week after revelations that their lobbying firm was paid hundreds of
thousands of dollars to represent Burma's brutal military dictatorship. 1
And it gets worse — turns out this goes all the way to the top. Charlie Black, McCain's campaign chairman, ran a lobbying firm that represented
brutal dictators like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire — along with terrorist rebel Jonas Savimbi in Angola.
Together, these men have been responsible for massive human suffering. 2
And for good measure, Charlie Black has represented war profiteer Blackwater Worldwide and Iraqi fraudster Ahmed Chalabi. 3
John McCain has a lobbyist problem, and we thought he could use your advice. What should Senator McCain do about his top adviser,
Charlie Black? We'll release the results to the media — and forward your advice to Senator McCain himself. And we're working on a hard-hitting
web ad about Charlie Black that we'll release soon.
Click below to choose which message to send to John McCain:
Fire Black. Fire Charlie Black if he doesn't resign first.
Fire all the lobbyists. Fire Charlie Black, plus all 112 lobbyists running your campaign, 4 including campaign co-chair Tom Loeffler, who
has represented the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a notorious human rights abuser. 5
Don't sweat it. The media is so sold on your "maverick" image that corrupt figures in your inner circle won't actually hurt you.
Go all in. Hire more lobbyists who've worked for evil dictators. Maybe Kim Jong-il or Idi Amin.
Tell us what you think and spread the word! This survey's kind of funny, but our goal is deadly serious. If hundreds of thousands of us weigh in,
we can show the media that John McCain's campaign has a growing liability: the fact that his inner circle is filled with lobbyists who've worked for
everything he claims to be against.
Thanks for all you do.
-Noah, Karin, Ilyse, Peter, Justin, and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team

P.S. McCain's campaign staff have too many connections to dictators to list in this email. It's unbelievable. But the non-partisan reform group Public
Campaign Action Fund created a great fact sheet laying it all out:

SOTU was excellent.
And, I was doing the young person multi media thing -- 1 watched it on TV while also watching the twitter feed.
And that was cool! The tweets of his best lines with the supplemental graphics — I bet the feedback on that will
be hugely positive.

Subject: FYI- we are talking to Steve- HE is ready to go and work with both US and AV
Pro-Obama group defying Obama, staying in
business
Steve Phillips, whose California-based pro-Obama PowerPAC.org backed the Illinois Senator with paid media
and minority voting drives in the primaries, writes on Huffinaton Post that independent groups will continue to
play a major role on the Democratic side of the campaign.
That's in spite of the directives out of Chicago that donors should give their money to the campaign and the
DNC, which have essentially shut down other groups after Obama donors closed their checkbooks.
But Phillips -- the son-in-law of the Democratic mega-donor Sandler family -- says he expects $1 00 million to be
spent by existing outside advocacy groups and by his own organization this cycle. Notably, this spending seems
to be focused largely on turnout, which may pose less of a threat to Obama's stress on controlling his message
than would TV ads.
He writes:
Contrary to earlier reports about the demise of independent efforts this cycle, the work in 2008 will be
robust, vibrant, and more coordinated than ever before. In 2008, the progressive movement is taking on an
unprecedented collaboration of grassroots groups to raise $100 million that will mobilize millions of new
voters and engage them in effective organizations that will be around long after November 4....
Through an effort dubbed the Jimmie Lee Jackson Project, PowerPAC will collaborate with groups like the
NAACP, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, the Pushback Network, and others to coordinate
non-partisan registration, education, and mobilization efforts of African American voters during the General
Election. Jimmie Lee Jackson was a 24-year-old civil rights demonstrator whose death at the hands of
Alabama State Troopers led to the Selma-Montgomery march and passage of the Voting Rights Act in
1965. Our coordinated Black voter drive will register and mobilize one million new Black voters through a
$10 million, multi-state mobilization in states such as Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Georgia.
PowerPAC will also collaborate with the major grassroots mobilization efforts led by America Votes and its
30-plus partner organizations, representing the largest progressive issue-based organizations in the
country. In a national collaborative table and a series of collaborative tables in 14 states, these groups are
dividing up constituencies and coordinating communication and mobilization efforts to educate voters about
the national and down-ticket races.
Working from a common voter file, long-standing groups like the Sierra Club will contact 700,000 members
and other voters concerned about environmental issues; the Campaign for Community Change will
organize immigrant advocates and workers; Emily's List and Planned Parenthood will carry the message to
female voters; and the United States Student Association, Young Democrats of America and League of
Young Voters will mobilize the millennial generation.

Re: Proposed Final for Infrastructure Memo
2011-11-20 Infrastructure Support Options rev. doc
Attached is a revised draft infrastructure memo that seeks to take into account conversations I have had with
Justin and Doug but more my frame trying to capture theirs so mistakes are mine as opposed to theirs.
In terms of who might be the kitchen cabinet besides doug and justin advising, I welcome suggestions -- as
written now, they are two who are compensated to do that with the opportunity for expansion with the personal
office cos/ceo serving as the hub (this will make sense when you read memo).
Please review and advise on suggested edits.

Subject: Flat Earth Five: Match Deadline Tonight!
LCV VICTORY FUND
DEADLINE TONIGHT: Please make your donation and help LCV Victory Fund
defeat the Flat Earth Five . Every donation made between now and midnight
will be TRIPLED.
John -
The Flat Earth Five are on the defense.
Ever since LCV Victory Fund announced our new campaign to defeat the Flat
Earth Five, thousands of LCV supporters have contributed to our efforts to take
down some of the worst anti-science, climate-denying members of the U.S.
House of Representatives.
If you planned to add your support to this campaign, the time is right
now. There’s less than 1 00 days left until November 6th and there is still a
mountain of work to be done. Knowing that they will be targeted for defeat by
LCV Victory Fund, the Flat Earth Five are ramping up their campaigns, and calling
in the reinforcements. We need to keep up the pressure!
TRIPLE Your IMPACT: Time is running out. Donate to LCV Victory
Fund to help defeat the Flat Earth Five .
With campaign efforts ramping up and the media jumping on the story, we’re
ready to add the next member of the Flat Earth Five to the roster: Rep. Dan
Lungren (R-CA).
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) has a lifetime LCV score of just 4 percent and has
made numerous outrageous statements on climate change. Lungren claims that
“ideological bias” is driving efforts to curb climate change, but his own ideology is
unchallenged by facts. He points to an obscure 1 974 article in Time magazine
about an “impending ice age” as an excuse for dismissing scientists’ “dire
predictions” about climate change threats. Lungren has declared that EFA
regulation of carbon is a “vicious blow” to “our freedom” that gives the EPA the
power “to effectively control ... the way in which we breathe.”
The Flat Earth Five are supported by polluting interests’ deep pockets who are
willing to say (and spend) just about anything to win in November. And let’s not
forget the hundreds of millions that corporate special interests - backed by Karl
Rove and the Koch Brothers - have pledged to spend to win the White House,
Senate, and House.
Your donation today will go immediately towards LCV Victory Fund’s $1.5 million campaign across these five districts.
Your gift will help with television advertising, direct mail and an extensive phone program that will let voters know that
these members of Congress are dangerously out-of-step with their district on the issue of climate change.
With so much at stake for our planet and our economy, we can't afford to give the Flat Earth Five another term in the
U.S. House of Representatives. Please chip in by tonight’s midnight deadline. Your gift will go three times
as far to defeat the Flat Earth Five.
Thank you for supporting LCV Victory Fund’s campaign to defeat the Flat Earth Five.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President
LCV Victory Fund

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE Help
defeat Rep. Dan Lungren and
all of the Flat Earth Five
A contribution to LCV Victory Fund
is the most effective way to keep
climate deniers from winning the
White House and taking over
Congress.
Donate today to reach our
$70.000 goal by midnight and
have your gift TRIPLED»

Attached is a letter that will come to President Clinton from the Prime Minister of Barbados inviting him to speak
on May 8 at a high level conference of energy Ministers from all of the Island nations in the world. The
conference is being sponsored by UNDP and we will be participating. I will be there.
UNDP is providing funds to the Clinton Foundation for our work on clean energy and we will be launching our
work at this conference.
Obviously, if President Clinton can speak, that would be great. If he cannot attend but could provide a video, that
would also be very helpful.
I am sorry for the short notice, but the conference has come together rather quickly.
Thanks

Subject: Congratulations
Dear Friend:
Congratulations.
Los Angeles made a huge difference in the reelection of President
Obama, contributing countless volunteer hours and financial resources
to win critical battleground states.
I want to thank you for being an important part of this effort. I
was blown away by the two full buses of Carcetti volunteers who joined
me on the ground to get out the vote in Nevada this past weekend.
( Click here for pictures.) You were equally impressive here at home,
knocking on doors and packing phone banks to call into swing states
and to support those candidates and causes that the President believes
in.
Thank you -- this is your victory!
Our city cannot afford to think or act small if we are to realize our full
potential. Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the nation, and we
cannot sit back and let others decide the federal and state policies that
affect us. That's why I have proudly served as an Executive Board
Member of the Democratic National Committee, as Chair of Democratic
Municipal Officials, and as a state Co-Chair of President Obama's
campaign. That's why I also stood against Proposition B2. But the
reality is, I am just one member of a team — one made strong by all of
you.

Now that we've reelected our President, we must keep working and
move our country forward. We are blessed to live in Los Angeles and
the United States of America. Together we can make our city and
country as great as we know they can be.
I declined my invitation to attend the celebration in Chicago last night
so I could celebrate with you, but I will see the President again soon.
And when I do, I'll make sure he knows that L.A. has his back — and
that we know that he is there for us too.
Thank you.

Davis: Have they lost all sense of shame?
476
By Lanny Davis - 06/24/15 04:59 PM EDT
On June 9, 1 954, Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin, chairman of a House subcommittee investigating
communism in government, was confronted by attorney Joseph Welch during nationally televised hearings. McCarthy had
carried on his anti-communism innuendo campaign through congressional investigations for several years. Now, before a
national audience, he attacked a young legal associate of Welch as a member of a communist “front” organization when he
was at law school.
In what will go down in history as the moment of McCarthy’s undoing, Welch reacted with outrage to this attack. “You’ve
done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
The Senate censured McCarthy six months later and his career was over.
So I ask a similar question of Rep. T rey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, and
the other five Republicans on the panel: Reps. Susan Brooks (Ind.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Martha Roby (Ala.), Peter Roskam
(III.) and Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.).
Have you lost all sense of shame?
The decision to call private citizen Sidney Blumenthal, former President Clinton’s assistant and Hillary Clinton’s longtime
friend, on June 16 fora behind-closed-doors sworn deposition is emblematic of the shameful, shamelessly partisan
conduct of Gowdy and the Republicans on his committee — and their constituents should be asking them each this same
question.
There are facts they cannot deny.
Blumenthal had nothing to do with the Benghazi attack or the government’s reaction to it. He passed along to Hillary
Clinton, then secretary of State, via email information from a former high-ranking CIA official about Libya. She, in turn,
passed along some of Blumenthal’s emails to see if they contained anything useful. That is it. Both acted responsibly.

He volunteered to come to the committee to respond to all questions, without the need for a subpoena. Yet the committee
Republicans sent two federal marshals in the middle of the day to his doorstep to serve a subpoena on his wife — and
leaked to the media the fact they were serving a subpoena.
Blumenthal was questioned for nine hours. Democratic members estimate the questions asked by Gowdy and the
Republican members of a committee that’s supposed to be investigating the tragedy of Benghazi to be as follows:
• more than 160 about his relationship and communications with the Clintons, and fewer than 20 about the Benghazi
attack;
• more than 50 about the Clinton Foundation, and just four about security in Benghazi;
• more than 270 about Blumenthal’s humanitarian Haitian assistance idea, which came to nothing and in which no
money was ever exchanged, and zero about the U.S. presence in Benghazi;
• forty-five questions about David Brock, Media Matters and related organizations, and zero about former Ambassador
Christopher Stevens, who with three other Americans was killed in the attack.
The nature of the questions asked exposes the committee’s true intent. Many of the questions amounted to this: Are you
now or have you ever been a Democrat? Are you now or have you ever been a friend of Hillary Clinton?
The Republicans on the committee refuse to make the transcript of the embarrassing deposition public. Why? I wrote
Gowdy to ask him for a copy. No answer. Yet one day after the deposition, the National Review published a leaked email
that Blumenthal provided to the committee; a conservative on Bloomberg News released a different email;
and Politico published a story quoting “another GOP select committee member” to characterize Blumenthal’s document
submission and testimony. None of these selective leaks reported what the committee Republicans asked or what
Blumenthal answered.
The committee was created despite the fact that numerous other committees had already investigated Benghazi, costing
millions of tax dollars, including the Republican-led House Intelligence and Armed Services committees. None of them
found intentional distortion of the causes of the tragedy by the White House or State Department; there was no stand-down
order, no political cover-up. The panel has spent more than $3.5 million so far and maintains an 18-member staff, whose
full-time employees are paid an average of $128,750 per year. (Yes, self-proclaimed fiscal conservatives, they!) Yet it’s held
so far only three public hearings — and they are still refusing Clinton’s repeated requests to appear and testify publicly.
Is there anyone who can doubt that Gowdy and these five other Republicans are participants in nothing neither more nor
less than a partisan sham, out to harm Hillary Clinton and existing for no other reason?
To repeat: Have they no sense of shame?
Davis served as special counsel to former President Clinton, is principal in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Lanny J.
Davis & Associates and is executive vice president of the strategic communications firm LEVICK. He is the author of a
recently published book, Crisis Tales: Five Rules for Coping with Crises in Business, Politics, and Life.

[big campaign] Clean Water Legislation Passes Out of C ommittee as Congress Moves to Protect
America 1 s Drinking Wat er
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 18, 2009
Contact: Josh McNeil, (202) 454-4573 or joshua mcneil@lcv.org
Clean Water Legislation Passes Out of Committee as Congress Moves to
Protect America's Drinking Water
In response to the passage of the Clean Water Restoration Act out of the Senate Environment and
Public Works committee, League of Conservation Voters Legislative Representative Hasan Nazar
issued the following statement:
"Congress has stopped dipping its toes in the water and is poised to dive in to replace the
safeguards that once protected more than half of America's drinking water.
"In the last few years, misguided judicial activism has torn up the Clean Water Act and has given
corporate polluters the power to dump toxins and other hazardous materials into our water supply.
Passing the strongest possible version of the Clean Water Restoration Act must be a top priority
for this Congress this year.
"Today, the Senate Environment and Public Works committee moved us one step closer to cleaner,
safer water. We are grateful to Senator Feingold for introducing this bill and to Senator Boxer for
shepherding it through the committee."

Subject: From Sandy Berger
I hope this note finds you well.
As we enter the holiday season, I wanted to reach out to share some thoughts during a particularly thoughtful time for
me. As some of you are aware, I have been battling a form of cancer called cholangiocarcinoma. (I was diagnosed over
a year ago and I still can’t pronounce it!)
Although I have been compelled to leam a great deal about cancer, and the research keeps getting better, it does not
appear that a cure can happen in my timeframe. According to my medical team, the cancer is progressing, and time is
not my friend. I regret having to share this news in this way, but there is probably no better way and I wanted an
opportunity to reach all of you.
Among the many things I’d like to convey is the great sense of pride and fulfillment that I feel in the Albright
Stonebridge Group, an amazing enterprise in which you all have had some part. Our goal was to build a global institution
that would endure long beyond the careers of any of the founders: a world-class firm built on a foundation of the very
best professionals providing truly valuable service to the clients with whom we had the privilege to partner. Although the
work is never complete, the foundation has been well laid with a deep bench of talent and a solid leadership team. I have
no doubt that ASG’s greatest days are still to come.
More broadly, I am very proud of my work and the remarkable opportunity to have served our country in the Clinton
Administration and to have led so many foreign policy projects, boards, and organizations and remain grateful to the
friends and colleagues I have been privileged to meet along the way.
Throughout my career, from my early days as a Hill staffer and campaign speechwriter, at the State Department, at
Hogan & Hartson, and my years of service as National Security Advisor, I have been honored and blessed with
incredible colleagues for whom I have enormous respect.
The clients I have worked with at ASG often are more than clients; we become colleagues, partners, and friends. I
deeply value these relationships and am grateful for the trust that you placed in me and in the firm.

Subject: Don't let Gessler steal Colorado's elections-fight back!
J ProgressNow Colorado C4 Logo
Dear Neighbor,
It's been said that Colorado's right-wing Secretary of State, Scott Gessler, did
not truthfully expect to be elected last year. Not only is Gessler an infamous
partisan political attorney with a long history of defending clients accused of
election law violations, but he never really tried to get elected, either: he
never raised much money or even campaigned much. It's almost as if he was
elected by accident.
Now that Scott Gessler is in office, though, he seems determined to do as
much damage to Colorado's elections--and the right of Coloradans to vote--
as he possibly can.
From now until Election Day 2012, one of ProgressNow Colorado's
biggest jobs is to stop Gessler from carrying out his intentions to
suppress the vote. Please join us--make a small monthly
contribution to ProgressNow Colorado, and help us fight Scott
Gessler every step of the way.
Scott Gessler's latest attack on the right to vote is a piece of legislation he
cooked up with Tea Party support to conduct voter purges of people he
"believes" could be illegal immigrants. Newspapers around the state have
pointed out that Gessler could have freedom to use almost any "information" he sees fit to exclude voters
under this bill-a wide-open opportunity to manipulate Colorado elections. The evidence Gessler has
presented in support of this legislation is severely flawed, and easily accounted for by the normal rate of
naturalization of citizens. There has never been a documented case of an illegal immigrant voting in the
state of Colorado. And if one ever did, it's already against federal law!
There's only one possible outcome to Scott Gessler's hopes to purge the voter rolls without oversight or
accountability. And that's to suppress the rights of legal Colorado citizens to vote.
We've already enjoyed success at holding Scott Gessler accountable . In January, after Gessler announced
that he intended to keep working for his old elections law firm, thousands of ProgressNow Colorado
members stood up and demanded that he abandon that horrible idea. Gessler was stunned by the intense
criticism, and announced after a few days of outcry that he was giving up.
But Gessler won't give up on suppressing the vote as easily. With your help, we'll fight him
every step of the way--and we'll win. Please take a moment to join ProgressNow Colorado
with a small monthly donation--$1 0, $20, or whatever you can throw in, and help us protect
the most important right we have.
Thank you,
Kjersten Forseth
J j Don't let Gessler steal Colorado's
elections!

http://www.huffinatonpost.com/tom-andrews/nation-buildina-in-afahan b 378457.html
Nation-Building in Afghanistan Instead of at
Home Will Produce New "Misery Index"
Congressional Democrats Beware: Unemployment At Home + Casualties Abroad = Defeat at the
Polls in 2010
Tom Andrews
December 3, 2009
President Obama's decision to nation-build in Afghanistan in the midst of the worst economic recession since the
Great Depression is likely to produce a new Misery Index for Americans: The escalating numbers of dead and
wounded American soldiers in Afghanistan PLUS the likely high level of unemployed Americans at home. For
Congressional Democrats, the Misery Index could add up to big trouble at the polls in November 2010.
Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan coined the term "misery index" as a very effective way to focus attention
on the Carter administration's double barrel headache in 1980: rising unemployment and inflation. President
Obama's decision to double down on a failing Afghanistan strategy by ordering an immediate military escalation
is likely to present Democratic Congressional candidates with a Misery Index of their own in 201 0.
President Obama wants to rush the troops that General McCrystal has requested for Afghanistan as soon as
possible so that they can be in place for the so-called spring "fighting season". The significantly larger military
footprint of foreign forces will, inevitably, swell the ranks of Taliban fighters who have been successfully using
the presence of these forces as their most potent recruitment weapon. The result is not hard to predict: a
significant spike in US casualties in Afghanistan in the summer and fall of 2010 at precisely the time that
Members of Congress are facing voters in the 2010 elections.
The dreadful reports of these escalating numbers of American casualties abroad will be in addition to the
number of local news stories of the casualties of escalating unemployment at home. The numbers of Americans
who are unemployed and underemployed - not to mention those who are worried that they will soon join the
ranks of both - are increasing steadily. So is the view of voters that the nation is on the wrong track. While Wall
Street is basking in profits and brokers are getting well publicized bonuses, workers are getting pink slips. It
begs the question: what are the priorities of those we elect to represent us in Washington?
Political leadership is about setting priorities and making choices. Those who support the president's military
escalation in Afghanistan will be charged with being more interested in nation building abroad than in nation
building at home. And, the nation building policy that they have chosen to support abroad is not only generating
new levels of casualties to Americans in uniform, it is producing absolutely no discernible progress in making
America safer.
To make it worse, Democratic Congressional candidates who support the President's Afghanistan policy will
likely be hit with another political misery indicator: declining support from the political base that was so critical to
their success in 2006 and 2008. There is real danger that the hope and enthusiasm that drove so many
progressive Democrats in those election cycles will be transformed into cynicism and apathy in 2010. That is bad
news for any incumbent Democrat running in 2010.
I hope that Congressional Democrats will do the right thing and oppose the president's military escalation in
Afghanistan because it's the right thing to do. But, if they need more of an inducement, they may want to

Subject: [big campaign] PLEASE READ: Do not share previous e-mails
Hey folks,
I sent two e-mails this morning by accident to the list when my mail program confused an internal staff address
with the big campaign list. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THESE WITH ANYONE. We are releasing radio ads today
in Republican districts or reps leading the charge on the House floor, but the files I sent are NOT complete and
we are NOT ready to share these.
I am not sure what happened, but suffice it to say that I am about to kill my e-mail client. I will forward the finals
when they are done.
Apologies,
I lyse

outcomes could be helpful in your thinking through what some of those elements might be. (I heard rumors, for
what its worth, that two Track II participants could have senior roles in a Modi government: Kuresh Prabhu on
energy/climate, and Shyam Saran as NSA). On HFCs, the fundamental issue is whether India can be made to
relent in the foreseeable future to international pressure to address HFCs through an amendment to the
Montreal Protocol, or if they will just continue to block/slow walk the process in spite of our best efforts. I suspect
that you could find out which it is through high-level outreach in May — and if indications are discouraging, it
could be worth developing/launching an alternative international approach that could meaningfully curb HFC
growth while Montreal remains gridlocked.

First there’s lots to like about this.
I also know there are some issues that you’ve discussed there re: the content.
My flags are around State and 9/1 1 .
I just did a conversation with Teddy (who has the same concerns).
I’ve given him some suggestions. He will take a look at the footage and get back.
But I think with some work this can go forward and will be strong.
Robby, on your notes, I agree on the open/close silhouette.
I don’t think there will be a music problem after it is mixed.
Teddy will get back to us.

Great work! Two small things:
1 . I worry that the silhouette at the beginning and the end makes it too much about HER as a historic
figure... wondering if we can have her in a crowd of people, or somehow showing the images of the people she's
helped. Make it less about her but what she's done.
2. The music gets a big jarring at times, but maybe that's because it's unmixed. Just flagging.
3. The "children I met were living harsh lives" line in the CDF section is a bit strange sounding

Madam Secretary -
Below is a link to one of the new spots we discussed last night - to paint the picture of a President who can do all parts of the
job. This spot will run alongside the .60 that speaks to the other imperatives (experience, results and will stop the GOP). We're
working on a third spot to cycle into the same track, which would be focused on the economy/get results contrast and should
be ready tomorrow.

Subject: In one week
John --
In a little less than one week, the Democratic Senate will take its first step towards reversing the Supreme
Court’s supremely flawed decision gutting the Voting Rights Act.
This initial hearing, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, will take place July 17th - you can watch
it live here when it happens.
But before Senators convene, they need to hear from you: Please sign our petition calling on
Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act!
The Roberts court tried to claim the Voting Rights Act wasn’t necessary anymore, but Republican state
legislators are proving through their actions that it still is.
Within days of the ruling, GOP legislators have rushed forward bills to codify Texas’ racially discriminatory
gerrymandering, completely eliminate North Carolina’s early voting system, and impose other new voting barriers
designed specifically to weaken Democratic turnout.
We have exactly one week to show Republicans that there will be consequences if they allow this
ruling to stand - please sign the petition today.
Sincerely,
Michael Sargeant
Executive Director
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
P.S. Next week’s hearing features civil rights legend John Lewis, who’s spent a career fighting injustice, if
you can’t watch the hearing live, please show that you support restoring the Voting Rights Act by
signing the petition.

Chicago
Hi all - per our call this morning, some additional ideas on Chicago:
1) RevJackson - this may already be in the works but in addition to his Rainbow Push and radio requests, would
he do an event or OTR with HRC ?
2) do we need more boots on the ground like we had the last week in SC - esp in and around Chicago.
3) If I'm remembering correctly one or two of the mothers/family members she initially met with were from
Chicago, are any not ready to endorse ? Even if we can't get all the moms there, can we get one or two to join
HRC for events?
4) Meet with the publishers of AA papers in Chicago - they are an amazing group of women - all HRC supporters
who want to be helpful - they are also all very active & well respected in Chicago - getting them to activate their
networks would be huge even though we probably can't do in time to get in the papers, they would do online
and we could try to get them to endorse and package as an announcement on Sunday going in to the forum on
Sunday night.
5) Interview with Roland Martin - tape on Sunday to air on Monday - he would likely have gotten his harshest Q's
out in the forum; has HUgE ratings with AA women.
6) Event with Steve Harvey - can check his sked to see if he'd do an event with her in Chicago before Tuesday.
Do his radio show again.

Subiect:
J FRACKING EMERGENCY RESPONSE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 26, 2015
CONTACTS:
Teresa Mills, Center for Health, Environment and Justice, 16141 539-1471 tmills@chei.org

40 COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT GROUPS CHALLENGE ODNR
AUTHORITY TO MANAGE FRACKING EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Cites record of accidents and failures
COLUMBUS - - Today 40 Ohio community and environmental groups fires off a challenge to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) authority to manage chemical reporting and emergency response
for the state’s oil and gas industry. The challenge, carried in a letter to U.S. EPA Administrator Gina
McCarthy, is based on the fact that Ohio law appears to contradict federal law with respect to what agency
should receive hazardous chemical information and also respond to chemical accidents and emergencies. The
letter to US EPA seeks clarification of these federal requirements in order to forestall an oil and gas industry
agenda in Ohio’s legislature to shift custody of the industry’s chemical use data from front-line emergency
responders to the industry’s accommodating but unqualified supporters at ODNR.
The federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) states that authority to accept
hazardous chemical information and respond to chemical accidents resides with the State Emergency
Response Commission (SERC), as well as local emergency planning committees and fire departments. Indeed,
every other chemical-intensive industry in the state reports to SERC and SERC coordinates and plans
emergency response for them. Ohio law, however, carves out an exception for the oil and gas industry,
diverting its hazardous chemical information and emergency response authority to ODNR.
The groups point out sections of existing Ohio law (ORC 1509.231) and proposed legislation (2014’s HB 490)
that it says allows ODNR to, “...adopt a new and separate program tailored exclusively for its patrons in the
oil and gas industry.” The group alleges that ODNR is “captured” by the industry it regulates and
“...routinely ignores and ridicules the concerns of sensible citizens regarding fracking while reflexively
repeating the industry’s public relations talking points on this important subject...”.
Furthermore, the group says that ODNR’s lack of expertise in emergency response puts public health and
natural resources at risk.
To back up its claims, the groups cite several recent incidents, including a June fire and chemical spill in
Monroe County that dumped 54,000 gallons of hazardous chemicals into a tributary of the Ohio River. Gaps in
reporting meant volunteer firefighters lacked information on what chemicals were stored on site and had to
guess at the appropriate response. Despite being the current custodian of fracking chemical information,
ODNR’s Division of Oil and Gas didn’t arrive at the scene until 3 days after the fire broke out and failed to
share trade secret chemical information with other state and federal emergency responders until 2 days after

that. By that time, 70,000 fish had been killed and the plume of contamination had reached drinking water
intakes located downstream.
The letter calls upon U.S. EPA to clarify that while the state might allow chemical reporting to additional
state agencies, it mav not divert that information from the State Emergency Response Commission, as Ohio
has done.
Beyond the issue of public safety, the groups require this clarification to ensure public access to information
about local chemical hazards. Under federal law, any citizen may access non-trade secret chemical
information for any facility in their community, through their Local Emergency Planning Committee. Accessing
this information through the ODNR is currently fraught with frustration and delay, even, as in the Monroe
County incident, for firefighters. “The law is called the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act for a reason,” says Center for Health, Environment and Justice organizer Teresa Mills. “ODNR has no right
to keep this information from us,” she adds.

FOR CONGRESS
John --
Thanks to the generous support from friends like you, we hit our fundraising goal on Sunday night!
Our grassroots support was stronger in June than in any other month this year, and it is exactly what we needed to continue
to build a foundation for our campaign.
But as we enter July, we have some urgent issues we need to address.
Obstructionists in Congress allowed student loan rates to double yesterday, and now students face an increase on their
federal student loan interest rates - from 3.4% to 6.8%.
This is simply inexcusable. Many of us rolled up our sleeves and fought for college affordability, but House leadership refused
to address this urgent problem and now millions of students are left wondering if they'll be able to get their degree.
If you haven't already signed our petition, will you add your name right now to
lower student loan rates?
Already signed? Forward this email to three friends who you think might be affected by the rate hike and ask
them to add their names too!
Grassroots supporters like you have to make their voices heard. Without you, this campaign could never be successful.
Kindest Personal Regards,
Cheri

Subject: One question from editor and admirer
Dear John,
This is Jeff D’Alessio, managing editor of The News-Gazette in
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. I’d be most grateful for your help anytime
Thursday in answering one question, which I’m asking of a few fellow
Page-1 -of-Who’s-Who folks, about a big case-to-be here in Big Ten country.
The question:
As a defense attorney, would you like your chances in this case? (Or maybe
you'd never take it). Either way, I'd love a few sentences of "why" via
e-mail if easiest ...
— In October 2013, a Virginia Tech English professor (Steven Salaita) was offered and accepted a fully tenured
faculty position in the American Indian Studies department at the University of Illinois.
— He resigned his position at Virginia Tech this past spring and sold his
house.
— In July, during the latest Israel-Gaza conflict, the professor, a
Palestinian-American, posted several profanity-laced tweets on his
personal page, all critical of Israel (and others, including “F — Obama.
F— the UN. F— Israel.”)
— On August 1 , the chancellor at Illinois wrote Salaita a letter, saying
the university would not be forwarding his application to the board of trustees for approval, after all, because an
affirmative vote was
unlikely. Until the board approves hires, which are typically just
rubber-stamped, they're not final.
— The chancellor cited a “duty to our students to ensure that they live in a
community of scholarship that challenges their assumptions about the world but that also respects their rights as
individuals.”
— After pressure from students and faculty, the board of trustees did
indeed take a vote on whether to approve Salaita’s appointment. Same
result — by an 8-1 margin.
— A disappointed Salaita says he plans to pursue legal action. His legal
team plans to file constitutional and employment claims against the
university.
— Salaita says he wants the job he agreed to, not money. “We’ll be seeking injunctive relief to request a court to
order the University of Illinois
to do to what it failed to do, that is, complete the employment process,”
said Anand Swaminathan of Chicago-based Loevy & Loevy.
Those are the facts.
Again, I'm just hoping for your expert take. Thanks a million and please
let me know if I can ever return the favor.

Subject: Washington Post Op-Ed on Affordable Law Firm
To the Members of the Strategic Planning Council:
One of the central ideas that emerged from our strategic planning discussions was the idea that Georgetown should develop programs for
recent law school graduates that would be analogous to residency programs for recent medical school graduates and that would provide
hands-on training. Following up on that idea, working with the law firms of DLA Piper and Arent Fox, we have created the DC Affordable Law
Firm. The firm will provide superb hands-on training for recent graduates, and it will help address a critical access to justice problem - the
provision of legal services to those who are not eligible for free legal services but who cannot afford lawyers. It is our hope that this law firm
will be a model that law schools and law firms across the country will follow. I am grateful for your help in conceptualizing the residency model
that underlies the firm, and I am pleased to share with you an op-ed that Vice Dean Jane Aiken and I wrote about the firm, which appeared in
Sunday's Washington Post.
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Thanks again!
Best, Bill
Too many lawyers? Not in D.C.
Washington Post
November 27, 2015
By William M. Treanor and Jane H. Aiken
Imagine a 60-year-old widow who's been living in the same two-bedroom apartment in Anacostia for decades. It was the first apartment she
shared with her late husband: she raised two kids there, hosted countless friends and relatives, celebrated her granddaughter’s first birthday
party. It’s her home.
Now, after all those years, for reasons she doesn’t understand, she faces eviction.
In hopes of remaining in her longtime home, she goes to court. She can’t afford a lawyer, and so she joins the 97 percent of defendants in
the District who appear without a lawyer in the Landlord and Tenant Branch of the D.C. Superior Court . And she has just enough income to
disqualify her from free legal aid . Her landlord, or more likely, his lawyer, shows up with basic documentation. She doesn’t ask — because
she doesn’t know to ask — whether her notice to vacate was properly served or whether the grounds for eviction are legal and given in good

faith. She is evicted.
This happens almost every day in the District. Lower-income residents who don’t qualify for free legal aid but can’t afford lawyers suffer
devastating consequences in court. And yet even as they fall, unrepresented, through the cracks, we keep hearing about a glut of
unemployed lawyers, many of them recent law-school graduates.
It would be nice if it were as simple as matching up all the unemployed lawyers with all the people who need affordable legal advice. But, in
the absence of new initiatives, the match won’t happen. New graduates lack the experience they need to handle important cases effectively.
They need office space, phones, copiers and library resources that a new lawyer working alone can’t afford.
One idea gaining momentum: “low-bono” legal services, where lawyers charge affordable fees to work for those who can’t afford the District’s
average rate of $250 per hour but who make a little too much to qualify for legal aid. While pro-bono work is offered for free, the low-bono
models provide adequate financial support for attorneys.
More than 15 law schools provide recent graduates with hands-on training by offering affordable legal services.
Yet the incubator model, which is making a difference, has limits. Because of resource constraints, the new lawyers often receive limited
training, supervision and support. This is where big commercial law firms can come in. There are signs that Big Law is coming around to low-
bono, recognizing a critical need to make legal services affordable to working people.
In the District, a new organization called the D.C. Affordable Law Firm (DCALF) is helping big firms commit to low-bono to great effect by
bringing in new law graduates.
It works like this: For each of the next three years, we at Georgetown Law will send six graduates into 1 5-month fellowships at DCALF. The law
firm Arent Fox will provide technological support and space in its K Street offices, while DLA Piper, the world’s third-largest law firm, will take
the lead role in training and creating DCALF’s policies and procedures. Lawyers from both firms will do the important work of serving as
mentors for the young graduates who will gain valuable experience and invaluable supervision and training from veteran colleagues.
DCALF presents a replicable economic model that rewards doing what’s right. The hope is that it will inspire law firms and law schools across
the country to launch their own low-bono firms organized like DCALF. If the model catches on, more and more talented young lawyers will
devote an early stage of their career to communities in need. They will get great hands-on experiences as they start their careers — the legal
equivalent of a medical residency. And they will make a difference, especially for the thousands of lower- and lower-middle-income Americans
who face a staggering injustice any time they enter our courts.
William M. Treanor is executive vice president and dean of Georgetown Law School. Jane H. Aiken is vice dean and associaye dean for
experiential education at Georgetown Law School.

Dear John,
While the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico gets
worse by the minute, BP continues to
dodge the tough questions about what
went wrong and what they're doing to fix it.
It's time we got some straight answers. If
BP won't give them of their own free will,
we must compel them to do so. This
week, 18 of my colleagues and I introduced
legislation to grant President Obama's
bipartisan investigative commission
subpoena power that will allow it to uncover
the unvarnished truth.
HOLD BIG OIL
ACCOUNTABLE
GIVE THE OIL SPILL
COMMISSION REAL
SUBPOENA POWER
Sign Now
But we need your help to get there. Only with a strong grassroots push can we overcome
the still-powerful oil lobby and convince Congress to give this commission the teeth it
needs to bring transparency to the BP investigation, hold BP accountable, protect
taxpayers and begin the difficult process of restoring the Gulf.
Click here to stand with me today and demand transparency from BP. The Gulf of
Mexico region has suffered enough and shouldn't have to beg to get the truth.
As the slick approaches more than a hundred miles in either direction, the economic and
environmental costs are seemingly immeasurable. Thousands of Gulf Coast residents
have already had their livelihoods stolen from them and the region is losing billions in
economic productivity. Equally heartbreaking is millions of acres of wetlands -- forty
percent of all the wetlands in the country - that are at risk in the Gulf of Mexico and the
hundreds of species threatened by the spill, some possibly with extinction.
This bipartisan commission is our best chance to determine what really happened and to
protect us from future disasters. I hope you will stand with me today and send a message
to Washington that New York and the nation expect us to act.
Please click here to stand with me and help grant the commission the subpoena
power it needs to bring justice to the Gulf of Mexico and protect our waters from
spills.
I know you share my empathy with the citizens of the Gulf Coast and the concern for the
workers that are helping lead the clean-up. Thank you for standing with me as we search
for the truth about what caused this tragedy and to help heal the region.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gillibrand

We are hearing rumors that the WH may issue a SAP that could contain a veto threat if a sub-group

We feel strongly that this would have a detrimental impact on getting the bill to the President's desk. We have
been part of and know that there are lots of proposals on sub-group accountability but we can't have the
solution bring us back to a flawed AYP-like construct.
We would like ESEA re-authorized during this session of Congress and recognize that momentum is on the

Are you hearing anything about ESEA and the WH SAP?

Good feedback, Matt. Revised below. This is a verbal message only,
-tom
I know there has been a lot of uncertainty since the announcement that
we are not running ads. I want to make sure I put an end to any
speculation of what might happen next. As someone deeply vested in
what we have built together this has not been easy.
First, I wanted to thank you for your head-down singular focus on
knocking around the McCain team for their lobbyist ties. Working with
our partners and relentlessly pursuing this you have broken through,
despite the news about us not running ads.
The last week has shown exactly how an aggressive earned media
campaign can screw with the McCain campaign. They are thin-skinned
about these stories and there is a lot more there. We need to keep
that going.
What is clear is that there are going to be changes in how we do our
work — a restructuring.
I wanted to share the possible options with you and a timeline of what
you can expect.
1 . WHOLE CAMPAIGN TAKEOVER -We might be subsumed into the work of a
new organization. We would continue to co-locate and work together.
2. COMPONENT CAMPAIGN PARTS RESTRUCTURED -We may divide up the
campaign projects and have partners take over various parts of the
work, various staff pods and projects subsumed by partners. We would
try to continue to co-locate and work together.
Timeline and Guarantees:
-The decisions about the next phase of the campaign will be made this week.
-You still have your job. We are working to make sure the transition
to a new organization or organizations is seamless and trying to
figure out transition assistance (pay) when it might not be.
I said it last week and I will say it again. No group of people on the
planet is better prepared to take on John McCain right now. Back to
work.

I met with Bruce.
He signed off on the draft less one paragraph, to go to all staff and senior leadership of all the affiliated initiatives as
follows (I am going to forward it to ana to have her go into his computer and send it out):
Dear Foundation Staff:
First, I want to thank all of you for the well wishes for my swift recovery. I am getting better and I am looking forward to
being back in the office.
Until I am able to return to the office full-time, the President and I have asked John Podesta to serve as a special advisor to
support me and the Foundation staff in our work. Fie has graciously agreed to be available by phone and email, as well as to
be in the office periodically, to help provide leadership. Please seek his guidance and decision-making as necessary to ensure
the work of the Foundation continues apace while I am out.
Once I am settled into a routine, I will update you on when I am available to address matters that might be more efficient
for me to handle.
Again - thanks for all the good wishes.

I think this is not too far off but have two points:
I think the use of questions as a device in the opening weakens it. Strong direct statements carry power that questions
typically don't
My second goes to a point Mandy made yesterday which this feels more like its verging on a mini speech as opposed to a
tough tight riff that echoes the rationale but emphasizes the direct articulation of the fights and a single simple policy or
definition of problem in a way the clearly suggests the problem.
I guess this would be about 7 minutes if she delivered the whole thing and that feels long to me if she's sitting around a

It's actually 21 states now because Arkansas has had its law blocked by the state supreme court. Agree that we
should decry this and talk about making it easier rather than harder for people to exercise their fundamental right to
vote.
As for Ebola, my view is that we deployed thousands of US troops to help stop the outbreak, which puts it in a
different category from the flu. But I don't mind just saying pandemics and skipping Ebola if others are concerned.

Good stuff and not sure you saw my previous emails, but I do thing the pre-school stuff works really well in the God-
giving potential/community bucket. The incarceration stuff seems a bit out of place. Since we are talking about
community and family i wonder if we should add gay marriage.
On voting rights, I think we have to do more than modernizing. This is about stripping away the obstacles the Govs
and legislatures in 22 states have enacted.

Progressive policies drive more into poverty
The Orange County Register - Joel Kotkin
The dirty secret here is that a large proportion of Californians, roughly one-third, or some 3.2 million households, as found by a recent
United Way study, find it increasingly difficult to keep their heads above water. The United Way study, surprisingly, has drawn
relatively little interest from a media that usually enjoys highlighting disparities, particularly racial gaps. Perhaps this reflects a need to
maintain an illusion of blue state success.
What a Sl5 Minimum Wage Would Mean for Your City
The Upshot (NYT) - Noam Scheiber
As the campaign for a $15 minimum wage has gained strength this year, even supporters of large minimum-wage increases have
wondered how high the wage floor can rise before it reduces employment and hurts the economy.
Keep the Tax on High-End Health Plans
New York Times - Editorial Board
Analysts at the Commonwealth Fund, a research organization, warn that if employers require higher deductibles and co-pays, workers
with modest incomes might postpone the health care they need, which could lead to more spending down the road. Congress should
not repeal the tax, but it should find smart ways to adjust it.
New York City's Responsible Banking Act Is Unconstitutional, a Judge Rules
New York Times - Julie Creswell
A law passed by New York City three years ago that required banks to make public their efforts to be socially responsible, particularly
in low-income neighborhoods, is unconstitutional, according to a federal court ruling.
Democratic candidates eve dav-care aid as a wav to ease college burdens
Washington Post - Danielle Paquette
Slightly more than a quarter of undergraduates in the United States are raising children. That's about 4.8 million degree-seekers who
have another mouth to feed between classes. Advocates say a little-discussed portion of Hillary Rodham Clinton's new plan to make
college more affordable, the latest design from liberal lawmakers to shrink student debt, could help them graduate with a lighter
burden.

Democrats think they've figured out how to turn the Uber wars to their advantage
Washington Post - Brian Fung and Jacob Bogage
At a time when fast-growing companies like Uber are giving struggling American workers a fresh source of income — but not
necessarily steady or reliable employment — liberals are fighting to reconcile the rise of a new "sharing" economy with their
traditional focus on expanding the middle class and defending workers against mistreatment.
Black poverty differs from white poverty
Wonkblog - Emily Badger
A poor black family, in short, is much more likely than a poor white one to live in a neighborhood where a many other families are
poor, too, creating what sociologists call the " double burden" of poverty.
No. Obamacare isn't killing full-time jobs, new evidence shows
Wonkblog - Max Ehrenfreund
President Obama's health-care reform hasn't meant less time on the job for American workers, according to three newly published
studies that challenge one of the main arguments raised by critics of the Affordable Care Act.
What Should Become of America's Slums?
The Atlantic - Ala na Semuels
Efforts to dismantle segregation may take resources away from some of the poorest communities, where investment is most needed.
Single mothers 'most likely' to benefit from paid overtime expansion
Al Jazeera - Ned Resnikoff
A proposal to extend overtime pay eligibility to millions of workers would have its biggest impact on single mothers and women of
color, according to a study published Tuesday by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) and the advocacy group
MomsRising.
Is the SEC Against Income Inequality -- or for It?
Fluffington Post - Judith Samuelson
The proposed rule would require a very narrow definition of performance specifically "total shareholder return " or TSR, which is
roughly equivalent to change in stock price plus dividends. If the SEC settles on TSR as the principle measure of Dodd Frank's call for
"Pay for Performance"- this limited definition of success in business will reinforce the very metric that has contributed the most to
escalating pay in the executive suite.

Businesses brace for game-changing labor decision
The Flill - Tim Devaney
Business leaders in Washington are bracing for a labor ruling they warn would redefine what constitutes an "employer" in the United
States, exposing thousands of companies to new liabilities and potentially upending entire industries.
Beware of American econ professors! Flow Krugman. Sachs and Stiglitz led the Greeks astray.
Politico - Yannis Palaiologos
[Hjigh profile U.S. economists, like Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz and Jeffrey Sachs, have led the global anti-austerity campaign and
have made my country a cause celebre in that struggle. They have been right to argue that too much austerity has been imposed on
Greece, and that further debt relief is required. But in recent months, as relations between Athens and its creditors have deteriorated,
they have served Greece's cause very poorly indeed.

Please let me know if there's anything I can ever do out here in California to help you and the budding campaign. Will
write a check, of course, but also happy to do more, whatever that may be.
Please give Mae my best -- I haven't talked to her for a couple of years now and hope she's well.
And, since we've not caught up in awhile, attached is a picture of my two daughters -- they're a handful!
Best,
John

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Below is a great example of how our Wisconsin affiliate is working to keep voters informed, even
if it is the somewhat disheartening topic of student loan debt. By not only providing information
but also methods to become involved, we hope to spur engagement among young voters. This is
just 1 of our 21 states doing what we do every day - make progress happen, and happen NOW.
As always, let me know what you think, or even better, contribute to us here

One Wisconsin Now Congratulates Graduates With Information on Student Loan Debt
With college graduations starting this week, One Wisconsin Now wants to be sure that students are
aware of the realities they face, and the effect their student loans have on the economy. The
Congressional Budget Office is now projecting the government will make a $51 billion profit from
student loans in fiscal year 2013, roughly $6 billion more than Exxon-Mobil, the most profitable
corporation in the U.S. in 2012, according to a report in the Huffington Post . One Wisconsin
Now Executive Director Scot Ross commented, “It is obscene that our government is projected to
make more off the loans students have taken out to pursue their higher education, than the most
profitable corporation in the country made in net profits last year."
Original research by the One Wisconsin Institute (the ProgressNow Education affiliate in Wl)
found that the impact of the trillion-dollar student loan debt crisis goes far beyond students and
their families. Graduates with a Bachelors degree report making average monthly payments of
$350 for an average term of 18.7 years. The economy-wide detrimental impacts of this debt
include over $200 million in lost new auto sales every year and significantly lower rates of home
purchasing and ownership among graduates earning solid middle class incomes but are saddled
with student loan debt. Wisconsin Representative Mark Pocan, speaking for the Progressive
Caucus, acknowledged the Institute's research on the House floor (see 10:10) this past
Wednesday May 22. To learn more about this research, you can watch Executive Director Scot
Ross on MSNBC .
However, the One Wisconsin Institute is not just sitting on the sidelines. Instead, the Institute has
begun a six-year strategic plan in conjunction with the ProgressNow network to raise awareness of
the dire economic impact of the trillion-dollar student loan debt crisis and to encourage policy
solutions at both the state and federal level. This includes implementing research and
communication campaigns, with the hope of not only informing the public but also encouraging
voter turnout and engagement among younger voters in 2014 and 2016 elections.

Good evening
This afternoon the AFL-CIO convened the Political Committee (usually chaired by AFSCME President
Lee Saunders but because of a health issue, Trumka chaired). Interesting intel from this meeting to
pass along.
Political Committee Discussion Points today:
1 . Stuart Appelbaum pushed back on the AFT at the meeting regarding their early endorsement
process. He stated that he understood there to be a 60 day notification to affiliated unions by an
endorsing union. Trumka clarified that that was incorrect. He engaged in debate with Randi
Weingarten's Executive Assistant Michelle Ringuette about their process and Trumka cut off debate.
Appelbaum also urged no early endorsement by the AFL-CIO in the Presidential primary.
Randi personally called today to mention this exchange with Stuart along with the importance of prep
for the Executive Council meeting and reconnecting on policy. She stated that she will be directly
following up with Appelbaum and was very shocked by his comments at the meeting. Randi is in
Canada or would have been there in person.
I am attaching a letter from Lee Saunders in the response to attacks Randi has received over the
past week, FYI.
2. The Political Committee decided that there would not be a President endorsement
recommendation coming off of the Executive Committee meeting by July 30th. This is not news for us
but it was formally voted on. This still allows them to move in the future, internally I have heard a lot
10/18/2016

Page 1778
of talk that they know they need to endorse and would be looking to before February 201 6 (how it
looks today, we'll see).
3. The Bricklayer Unions (HRC spoke with President Boland on 6/10/15 and he also attended the
Podesta's reception) announced that they will be making a endorsement recommendation at their
Convention on 9/14-17/15. I will follow up with them tomorrow, but this is good news for us. BAC was
a 2007 HRC endorsers.
4. Write off APWU and the Flight Attendants (affiliated with CWA)-Both Presidents publicly stated
their support for Sanders in the Political Committee meeting today. I think our work is to keep them
neutral.
Preparation for the Executive Council Meeting:
Randi mentioned today she very much wants to be on the offense going into the July 30th Executive
Council meeting. She is going to be asking for a point of privilege at the meeting to emphasize the
importance of her early endorsement. She has already lined support in the room among AFSCME,
Trade Unions and 1AM. She wants HRC to go into the room on offense too. I flag this because I think
it could be helpful to have a strategy session around the July 30th meeting for the Secretary. Randi
also raised the Cadillac Tax issue with me today. Randi is really an amazing HRC champion.
Other Follow Up Items:
AFT will be in the HQ tomorrow in department meetings from 1 1-4pm.
*Flag for you, UTU President Mike Mulgrew will be attending the Policy meeting from 1-2pm. This
was at the request of Randi.
We will be meeting in the Nevada room if anyone would like to stop by.
I am reviewing tonight/tomorrow the research on ATU/APWU/CWA and will circle back.
I am setting up meetings with Suzie Ballentine this week and have a meeting with Heather and Erin
next week. I'm going to only be asking Suzie for her insights on the CWA and ATU, but not asking for
assistance beyond her thoughts. FYI.
Thank you! September 9th is locked in for the Building Trades Council Meeting. Great news.

Third Estimate of GDP for the Third Quarter of 2014
Posted by Jason Furman on December 23, 2014 at 09:30 AM EST
Today’s upward revision indicates that the economy grew in the third quarter at the fastest pace in over a decade. The strong GDP growth is
consistent with a broad range of other indicators showing improvement in the labor market, increasing domestic energy security, and continued low
health cost growth. The steps that we took early on to rescue our economy and rebuild it on a new foundation helped make 2014 already the strongest
year for job growth since the 1990s. Indeed, 2014 was a breakthrough year for the United States across a wide range of metrics important to middle-
class families. Nevertheless, there is more work to be done to ensure that all Americans can share in the accelerating recovery.
FIVE KEY POINTS IN TODAY’S REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
1. Real gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.0 percent at an annual rate in the third quarter of 2014 — the strongest single quarter since
2003 — according to the third estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. While quarterly growth reports are volatile, and some of the growth in
Q3 reflected transitory factors, the recent robust growth data indicate a solid underlying trend of recovery. Indeed, the strong growth recorded in each of
the last two quarters suggests that the economy has bounced back strongly from the first-quarter decline in GDP, which largely reflected transitory factors
like unusually severe winter weather and a sharp slowdown in inventory investment. Consumer spending, business investment, and net exports all
remained positive contributors this quarter. Real gross domestic income (GDI), an alternative measure of the overall size of the economy, was up 4.7
percent in Q3.

2. Third-quarter real GDP growth was revised up 1 .1 percentage point from the second estimate released in November. Most of the upward
revisions were in personal consumption and business investment, the most persistent and stable components of GDP. The contributions of consumer
spending and business investment were revised up 0.7 and 0.2 percentage point, respectively, including increased contributions from health care and
other services, nonresidential structures investment, and intellectual property investment. An upward revision to inventory investment also accounted for
0.1 percentage point of the revision.

3. In the third quarter, personal consumption expenditures rose 3.2 percent at an annual rate. With real wages rising for two years, consumer
sentiment at its highest level since 2007, and households having substantially deleveraged, consumption growth continues to trend upward. Consumers
cite improved employment and wage expectations — along with declining gasoline prices — as major drivers of improved economic optimism, according
the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey. The improved optimism is borne out in broad-based consumption growth, with durable
goods spending continuing its pattern of strong growth in the recovery, and nondurable goods and services consumption picking up from the previous
quarter. But challenges remain for consumers, and we have more work to do to boost wages for middle-class families.

4. The current account deficit remained near its lowest level since the late 1990s as the declining federal budget deficit has boosted domestic
saving. The current account balance is a measure of net transactions between the United States and the rest of the world, including our trade balance
and other income flows across our borders. When the current account is in deficit, as it has been for most of the past 30 years, the United States borrows
from abroad to finance its spending. But our current account deficit has narrowed sharply since the crisis, in large part because of increased domestic
saving including the fall of the federal budget deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in FY 2009 to 2.8 percent in FY 2014. The U.S. current account deficit
now stands at 2.5 percent of GDP, down from more than 6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. The smaller deficit reduces our reliance on foreign
borrowing, encouraging a more sustainable recovery.

5. Real private domestic final purchases (PDFP) — the sum of consumption and fixed investment — is up 3.3 percent over the last four quarters, a
faster four-quarter growth rate than real GDP. Real PDFP growth is generally a more stable and forward-looking indicator than real GDP because it
excludes highly volatile components like inventory investment and net exports. In the first and second quarters of this year, GDP growth fluctuated
widely, but PDFP was positive in both quarters, showing a less sharp pattern of decline and rebound. In the third quarter, PDFP grew a bit more slowly
than GDP, but on balance, it has risen faster over the past year and continued its historical pattern of more steady growth.

As the Administration stresses every quarter, GDP figures can be volatile and are subject to substantial revision. Therefore, it is important not to read
too much into any one single report and it is informative to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.

There is a Mother jones article on his One Florida plan and how after he signed an executive order ending
affirmative action at colleges there has been a significant decline in % of African Americans attending state

Thanks for everything!
I’m glad that so many presidential candidates are here today. It’s a signal that the work you’ve been
doing for decades is getting the political attention it deserves. But the real test of a candidate’s
commitment is not whether we come to speak at your national conference, as important as that is.
It’s whether we’re still around after the cameras are gone and the votes are counted. It’s whether
our positions live up to our rhetoric.
And too often we see a mismatch between what some candidates say in venues like this, and what
they plan to actually do if they’re elected.
I don’t think you can credibly say that everyone has a “right to rise” - and then say you’re for
phasing out Medicare, or for repealing Obamacare. People can’t rise if they can’t afford health
care. They can’t rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on.
And you can’t seriously talk about the right to rise . . . and support laws that deny the right to vote .
What people say matters - but what they do matters more. And Americans deserve leaders who’ll
face inequity head on, in all its complexity - who won’t just concede that there are barriers holding
people back, but who’ll do what it takes to tear those barriers down, once and for all.

John, see the following from one our ethics lawyers who is working to vet the vice president's team on the
transition. He flagged the entry below from Monica Medina's resume. While her former role at Fannie Mae
doesn't represent an actual conflict with the code of conduct, it raises an appearance issue particularly as the
McCain campaign continues to try to link Barack to Fannie and Freddie. Given that our pre-election process is
not public, I think we can get away with including Monica at this stage, but I would counsel that we reasses her
involvement in a post-election transition. I'd appreciate your feedback. Best, Cassandra

Revised. Please take another quick look as I think we should get to her asap. Two questions:
1) What do we do about Powell? Here I've mirrored language from the Q&A, which says "consistent with the
practice of prior Secretaries of State," but are we comfortable with that?
2) Am i sending her this and the spox statement or Jen, so you want to do that? Either way, we'll need to explain
the two options.

Here is a revised open letter attached to the current version of the fact sheet from the website. This is shorter,
more direct, and more even-handed. Not defiant but not particularly contrite either. See what you think. (Will
leave it to Nick, Heather, Brian, etc to review fact sheet and make any updates as needed.)

Subject: Petition: Protect Social Security
BENNET
FOR COLORADO
Dear Friend,
Nearly 80 years ago, President Roosevelt signed Social Security into law. Since then, Social Security has
provided security and peace of mind for millions upon millions of American seniors.
Today, we’re joining with some of our colleagues to gather support for Social Security. Add
your name to ours by clicking here.
Social Security is a promise that says if you work hard all your life, we will not let you fall into abject poverty
when you grow older. Today, more than 693,000 Coloradans rely on Social Security to help pay their bills.
We cannot allow Social Security to disappear for future generations of seniors. This program has worked for 79
years -- and we're committed to seeing that it endures for our kids and grandkids.
Stand up and show your support for Social Security. Sian our petition and tell Washington to
protect this vital program.
Thank you.
Michael

re: Latina for Clinton Campaign
Yolitzma Yvette Aguirre_Resume 2015.doc
cover letter- 2015.docx
Hello most esteemed Professor Podesta,
I am so sorry to be reaching out so randomly, I am currently the Director of Communications & Special Events for
Latino Leaders Magazine. ..we travel across the nation interviewing the top ranking & up coming influential
Latinos. However, long before that I was a "newsie." I worked as a morning show newsroom producer and my
first major election was the 2008 historic campaign. From that moment my love for politics made it's debut, I
poured my heart and soul into the coverage.. .1 campaigned in my hometown for Hillary. I have saved my 2008
Hillary poster from that time, because even then. ..I KNEW one day I would see her win. Since 2008, I have
followed the Clinton trail, and with each career move I have tried to climb one step closer. I will move anywhere, I
want to be part of this team. I have a tremendous amount of experience in communications and public relations,
above that I have a very strong networking pool in the major Latino cities. I have build our magazine's presence
in cities where Latinos dominated and in cities were Latinos are still the minority. I know how to gather people. It
has been etched in my soul that should Hillary Rodham Clinton ever run again, I would be on her campaign
team. Any position, big or small would be an honor.
I once read a quote, "Life does not give you what you want or what you love, life will only give you
what you fight for or what you are willing to accept. " It is with that fighting spirit, that I reach out to you
now, for this is what I love and what I am willing to fight for. I hope this message reaches you... I would love to
continue this conversation. Thank you deeply for you time.
sincerely,
Yolitzma

Our polling shows that New Hampshire voters strongly disagree with Republican Senator Kelly
Ayotte's decision to block any Supreme Court nominee put forward by the President.
55 percent agree that Senators like Ayotte are "trying to advance their party's agenda
rather than do what is right for the country."
We couldn't agree more. But with the Koch Brothers' network propping up Ayotte, we need to
get our message out to help the President RIGHT NOW.

Feinstein is sick. She has ASKED if you could come up to her house (3300 Nebraska Ave NW by American
University) to see her this afternoon, but says not to worry if it's too much schlep. You can just talk on the phone
or reschedule.
I told her staff that it would be very difficult for you to get all the way up there and back in time for your 5:00 pm
meeting w/ Brown (now on Capitol Hill), but that I would ask.
Sen. Brown:
The meeting will be at the Capitol building. Brown's staff can meet you at the Senate Appointment Desk on the
first floor of the Capitol to walk you down to the office. You can enter the Capitol through the North Screening

Hello All,
Tomorrow, the Bernie 2016 African-American Outreach team will host a Twitterstorm for "Twitterstorm Tuesday!" Please join us
from 12pm - 1pm EST. Tomorrow's theme is education and will be using the hashtag "#FeelTheBern"
Suggested tweets to use during the Twitterstorm are below and a few photos to use can be found here . Please share this information with
your organizations and allies.
Thank you in advance for tweeting!! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Sarah
SUGGESTED TWEETS FOR TWITTERSTORM - JANUARY 5
The fiction that it is possible to “do more with less,” has led to a crisis in higher education. This trend must be reversed. #feelthebern
Bernie Sanders is committed to a clear and emphatic reassertion of the importance of public higher education. #feelthebem
Bernie will take steps to relieve and reverse the crippling burden of student loan debt and the exploitation of adjunct labor. #feelthebern
Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who has made concrete proposals and demonstrated resolute commitment to higher education.
#feelthebern
When kids can't go to school, we are failing our youth. Bernie supports expanding educational programs available to children. #feelthebern
Bernie worked with Sen. Warren to help pass an amendment to support afterschool programs and expand learning time. #feelthebern
Working-class families can’t locate or access the high-quality child care they need. Education in America must be affordable. #feelthebern
Bernie has proposed legislation to provide all children until kindergarten access to full-time care and educational programs. #feelthebern
HBCU's do a better job of graduating African American students than non HBCU's. #FeelTheBern
51% of HBCU's are public and would qualify for @BernieSanders' plan to make tuition free at public colleges and universities. #FeelTheBern
Many have argued that the mission of HBCU's is outdated. However, this is not true and @BernieSanders will tell you why. #FeelTheBern
HBCU's continue to play a vital role in our nation's system of higher education. #FeelTheBern

The College for All Act would strengthen faculty tenure systems, which are wrongfully under attack by conservative forces. #FeelTheBern
To truly invest in education is to begin at the earliest stages of child development #FeelTheBern
Worried about the GDP? Then invest in early childhood education. #FeelTheBern
Of degrees earned by Black students, FIBCUs produce 18% of ALL engineering, 31% of ALL bio. science, 31% of ALL mathematics.

Subject: RE: FINAL: Longshoremen endorsement/organizing event tomorrow
Am I the only one who that strikes as odd? I think people equate civil rights with the civil rights movement and I'm just a little
worried that using that for the right to organize may strike some people as an overreach or equating the struggle of unions with
the struggle for justice for African Americans.
Maybe I'm overthinking this but it just hit me as a bit off this morning.

Hi all — here's a draft for tomorrow in Charleston. This is kind of a hybrid event — it's got a labor angle, but there will
be a bigger audience there, and SC would like her to talk more broadly about the campaign.
So this starts with a strong labor message at the start. Then it goes into the stump. There's a bit in there about
Charleston and guns. Otherwise, a lot of this should look familiar to all of you. Perhaps more importantly, it tracks
with what she's been saying recently so it'll look familiar to her.
I've got to get this to the book soon so please send me edits as soon as you can.
Many thanks.

Victor Pinchuk
Victor Pinchuk is relentlessly following up (including this morning) about a meeting with WJC in London or
anywhere in Europe. Ideally he wants to bring together a few western leaders to show support for Ukraine, with
WJC probably their most important participant. If that's not palatable for us, then he'd like a bilat with WJC.
If it's not next week, that's fine, but he wants a date. I keep saying we have no Europe plans, although we do
have those events in London in June. Are folks comfortable offering Victor a private meeting on one of those
dates? At this point I get the impression that although I keep saying WJC cares about Ukraine, Pinchuk feels like
WJC hasn't taken enough action to demonstrate that, particularly during this existential moment for the county
and for him.
I sense this is so important because Pinchuk is under Putin's heel right now, feeling a great degree of pressure
and pain for his many years of nurturing stronger ties with the West.
I get all the downsides and share the concerns. I am happy to go back and say no. It would just be good to know
what WJC (and HRC and you all) would like to do, because this will likely impact the future of this relationship,
and slow walking our reply will only reinforce his growing angst.
Thanks, and sorry for the glum note on a Monday morning...

“$16.7 million has been spent in CD1”
This is SHOCKING:
So far, over $16.7 MILLION has been spent on Ann’s re-election. $1 6,700,000.00!!!
Why? Because Boehner’s obsessed with Arizona. He’s obsessed with unseating Ann and replacing her with his hand-picked
Tea Party candidate.
If we fall short of tonight’s EMERGENCY ad buy deadline, Ann will lose and Boehner’s wish will come true.
As of 3:30 PM, we’re still 73 donations shy. We have NO choice but to close the gap.
John, this is a do-or-die moment. Will you help Ann when she needs you most?

Well, John may have sent the final email, but I'm not quite done yet!
Our Camp David pictures arrived yesterday evening, so I couldn't leave without forwarding them to you all. What a fun
time that was. Putting Kristie on this email so she can see the fun she missed by opting for a day off instead!
You'll all get our new contacts on Tuesday— I can't treat this like goodbye because 1) it isn't, really— it's a small town, and
we're only a phone call and a WAVES form away; and 2) it makes me too sad to think about it. When I got here, I was
expecting to be treated like "the help" by cynical, aloof bureaucrats! Instead I found progressives who really believe in
what we're doing— people who, despite being quite understandably exhausted most of the time, inspired me every day to do
my little scheduling part (which I truly enjoy). And now that I have the next generation ever-present in my mind (and my
belly!), I'm more grateful for this experience than ever.

Dan - 1 will send her the statement and press plan so we can present in one document.
I have a new thought on potential interviewer - Maria Elena Salinas of Univision.
I would bill it as an interview on college affordability and she would ask her a few questions on emails.
As you all know, I had hoped that we could use the "server moment" as an opportunity for her to be
viewed as having take a big step to deal with the email problem that would best position us for what is
ahead. It is clear that she is not in same place (unless John has a convo with her and gets her in a
different place).
Accepting that, I think Univision is best chance for success. We have momentum coming out of Jeb's
women's health comment and their bad debate. A Univision interview will be viewed as more offense and
show that she is confident and not rattled.
How does that strike folks?

Revised. Please take another quick look as I think we should get to her asap. Two questions:
1) What do we do about Powell? Here I've mirrored language from the Q&A, which says "consistent with the
practice of prior Secretaries of State," but are we comfortable with that?
2) Am i sending her this and the spox statement or Jen, so you want to do that? Either way, we'll need to explain
the two options.

Here is a revised open letter attached to the current version of the fact sheet from the website.
This is shorter, more direct, and more even-handed. Not defiant but not particularly contrite either.
See what you think. (Will leave it to Nick, Heather, Brian, etc to review fact sheet and make any
updates as needed.)

Sub'ecL ^9 campaign] MMR: McCain Defends Palin in Joint Interview, Surrogates on Bailout, Evening 09/
U J6C ' 29/08
Highlights:
1 . CBS: Palin and McCain chalk differing statements on Pakistan up to "gotcha journalism"
2. CNN: John Roberts questions Giuliani on McCain's efforts to pass the bailout plan and the profits Giuliani's law
firm would make from bailout clients
RUDY GIULIANI: "If I didn't do this, I'd do something else, I'm a lawyer. My law firm represents clients and
they make a lot of money doing that. This would just be another area . . . and I am not lobbying on this, that is
incorrect. I'm not doing any lobbying at all."
3. MSNBC: Holtz-Eakin asserts McCain played leadership role in bailout
DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN: "Let us be very clear that John McCain understands that had he looked like he was
going to be key to the success, the Democrats would attack him and kill the deal."
4. CNN: McCain blames failure of bailout bill on "Obama and his allies in congress"
JOHN MCCAIN: "Sen. Obama and his allies in congress infused unnecessary partisanship into the process. Now
is not the time to fix the blame, it's time to fix the problem"
5. CNN: Conservatives have lost faith in Palin after failed interviews, call for her to step aside
JACK CAFFERTY: "[Kathleen] Parker now says if BS were currency Palin could bail out Wall Street by herself."
6. CNN: Lou Dobbs: ACORN also to blame for banking crisis, set to make millions from bailout
LOU DOBBS: "That group, ACORN, lobbied congress for years to allow more of the risky mortgages that, in
part, led to this crisis.
7. MSNBC: Pat Buchanan says McCain campaign is "en extremis"
PAT BUCHANAN: "He could have improved it to what Congressman Price wants. That would have been a
tremendous victory for him I think. Instead, I think he's too much of the old John McCain of the gang of 14 and
McCain-Kennedy. "
8. MSNBC: Harold Ford Jr. calls for raising FDIC limits
HAROLD FORD JR.: "They oughta raise these FDIC limits right away to a half a million dollars. If we want to
stop the run from main street on the money markets and banks, we should do that right away . . ."
Highlights, No Video:
9. MSNBC - CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know, its easy to be a maverick, as you all know — you and I are
mavericks . . . I'm a maverick, I love to raise hell . . . the hardest thing is to be the male or female leader that has to
bring in a majority of people behind them. That's the hard part.

Palin and McCain Chalk Differing Statements on Pakistan up to "Gotcha Journalism" (CBS 09/29/08 6:33pm)
KATIE COURIC: "Over the weekend. Gov. Palin, you said that the US should absolutely launch cross border attacks from
Afghanistan into Pakistan to, quote, "stop the terrorists from coming any further in." Now, this is the is almost the exact
position that Barack Obama has taken and that you. Sen. McCain have criticized as something you do not say out loud. So,
Gov. Palin, are you to on the same page?"
SARAH PALIN: "We had a great discussion with President Zadari about what America can and should be doing together to
make sure that the terrorists do not cross borders . . . and we will do what we have to do to secure the United States of
America and her allies."
COURIC: "Is that something you shouldn't say out loud Sen. McCain?"
JOHN MCCAIN: "Of course not, but look, I understand this day and age, gotcha journalism, is that a pizza place? In a
conversation with someone who, you didn't hear the question very well, you don't know the context of the conversation . . .
Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country."

COURIC: "Are you sorry you said it governor?"
MCCAIN: "Now hold on a minute . . . this was a gotcha sound bite ..."
COURIC: "It wasn't a gotcha, she was talking to a voter."
MCCAIN: "It was a conversation with a group of people talking back and forth. I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself."
PALIN: "In fact, you're absolutely right on, in the context, this was a voter . . . hollering out a question . . . asking, "What're
you going to do about Pakistan? You better have an answer about Pakistan." I said we're going to do what we're going to do
to protect the United States of America."
COURIC: "You were pretty specific as to what you were going to do there."
PALIN: "As Sen. McCain is suggesting here also, never would our administration get out there and show our cards ..."
COURIC: "What did you learn from that experience?"
PALIN: "That it is all about gotcha journalism ..."

John Roberts Questions Giuliani on McCain 's Efforts to Pass the Bailout Plan and the Profits Giuliani's Law Firm
Would Make From Bailout Clients (CNN 09/29/08 8:28pm)
RUDY GIULIANI: . . . John McCain came back to Washington . . . got her 60 more votes . . . she lost because she couldn't
get her Democrats . . .
JOHN ROBERTS: Do you really believe that those 12 Republicans didn't vote for this bill because Nancy Pelosi went off on
George Bush?
GIULIANI: I don't. I believe, I believe the reality is that John McCain was right last week, this deal was not done, this deal
was not made.
ROBERTS: But he supported this deal.
GIULIANI: But that didn't mean it was done, it didn't mean that everyone else was on board.
ROBERTS: Why would he support a bill that wasn't done?
GIULIANI: Because he wanted it to be done . . .
ROBERTS: But wasn't his job when he came to Washington to deliver the Republican caucus or enough to get it passed?
GIULIANI: His job was to get as many Republicans as he could and he went from 4 to 64 . . .
ROBERTS: Your firm is lobbying clients who want to try to become a part of this bailout. You stand to make a lot of money
on this as well.
GIULIANI: I'm a lawyer. I would represent people in getting this done. I wouldn't make a lot of money form this. It
would just be-
ROBERTS: But your firm would.
GIULIANI: If I didn't do this, I'd do something else, I'm a lawyer. My law firm represents clients and they make a lot of
money doing that. This would just be another area . . . and I am not lobbying on this, that is incorrect. I'm not doing any

DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKJN: "John McCain worked the phones today. He worked the phones every day, he's visited with

HOLTZ-EAKIN: "Let us be very clear that John McCain understands that had he looked like he was going to be key to the

McCain do the job that he was trying to do. Deliver a bill that would help the American people, and sadly the American
people will lose as a result of this. John McCain understood, that had he kept a low profile, talked with members of
Congress, as he did, asked them where they were on their votes. Called those members who were reluctant. He was doing

McCain Blames Failure of Bailout Bill on "Obama and his Allies in Congress" (CNN 09/29/08 5:17pm)
JOHN MCCAIN: "I returned to Washington last week to work on a bipartisan rescue plan because the only plan at that time
on the table lacked enough support to pass ... at the time, the concerns of all members were not being heard, my colleagues
were worried about the size of the plan ... I shared those concerns and laid out principles that I thought must be ahered to .
. . I also believed the legislation should have no earmarks. I worked hard to play a constructive role in bringing everyone to
the table. The plan is now significantly improved . . . don't get me wrong, it isn't perfect ... I was hopeful that the improved
rescue plan would've had the votes needed to pass . . . today I've spoken to . . . Bernanke, Sec. Paulson, Congressional
leaders. Now it's time for all members of congress to get back to the drawing board . . . our leaders are expected to leave

Conservatives Have Lost Faith in Palin After Failed Interviews, Call For Her To Step Aside (CNN 09/29/08 06:08pm)
JACK CAFFERTY : "Calls calling for Sarah Palin to step aside as John McCain's running mate are getting louder [. . .]
Kathleen Parker a well respected conservative columnist writing on the National Review website says that after watching
Palin's recent media appearances her "cringe reflex" is exhausted. She said Palin's interviews [. . .] have "all revealed an
attractive earnest confident candidate who is clearly out of her league". Parker admits she been pulling for Palin as a woman
and a conservative but her lack of understanding of economic and foreign policy issues is troubling. Really? Parker now
says if BS were currency Palin could bail out Wall Street by herself. When we asked if John McCain had any plans to ask
Palin to step aside, we called the campaign today, a McCain spokeswoman replied: are you kidding? No ma'am we weren't. "
Highlight #6
Lou Dobbs: ACORN Also to Blame for Banking Crisis, Set to Make Millions Form Bailout (CNN 09/29/08 7: 19pm)
LOU DOBBS: "One of the groups at the center of the financial crisis is a so-called community activist group known as
ACORN. Point of fact, a left wing special interest group under investigation for embezzlement, voter fraud and providing
mortgages to illegal aliens. The group, ACORN, lobbied congress for years to allow more of the risky mortgages that in part
led to this crisis. And now, Acorn stands to reap hundreds of millions of dollars from a government bailout of Wall Street."

Pat Buchanan says McCain Campaign is "En Extremis" (MSNBC 06:50pm)
PAT BUCHANAN: "John McCain's campaign is en extremis in my judgment... if he had some populist instincts, he could

2015 Salary Memos
winmail.dat
Dear Colleagues,
It is the time of year at which I request information for salary determinations and summer research grants. Like
last year, I invite you to submit both together. In order to provide timely decisions, please submit the information
and requests no latter than Monday, March 16. You can send them to Alec Soto, who is cc’d on this email. You
are welcome to amend the memos with any additional accomplishments or other information after that date.
Every faculty member should submit a salary memo describing their scholarship, teaching and institutional
service over the past year. If you were on sabbatical or a research leave in the spring or fall of 201 1 , please also
include in the memo a report on your work product during that period. If you received a research grant in
summer 2014, please include in the memo a report on your activities and the work product. Finally, if you wish to
apply tor a research grant for summer 2015, please request it in the same memo.
Most of you will recall that these various reports were previously made in multiple memos. Because I am now
asking you to combine them all into a single document, here is some guidance on the structure would be most
helpful to me.
1 . If you had a sabbatical or research semester in the previous year (Spring 2014 or Fall 2014), describe the
work product that resulted.
2. If you received a summer 2014 research grant, describe the work product that resulted.
3. If you are requesting a summer 2015 research grant, your plans for that summer.
4. For the purposes of salary determinations:
(a) your scholarly accomplishments over the past three years.
(b) your teaching over the past year, including any overloads or special circumstances.
(c) Service to the institution.
(d) A copy of your current CV.
As has been done in the past, I will determine salary increases on the basis of the scholarship, teaching and
service. Because of its central importance to our academic mission, scholarship, including works in progress, will
continue to count for somewhat more in this evaluation process. With respect to your service, I am interested in

knowing not only about Law Center and university committee work, but also about your involvement with
students outside the classroom, in such capacities as serving as an advisor to a student law journal, assisting
with the Moot Court program, and attending student events. It would also be helpful to know about your public
interest work outside the law center. I consider attendance at faculty meetings, especially those where a vote is
taken, an important part of faculty responsibility. You are welcome to use this opportunity to explain the reasons
for any absences.
This year the summer research grants will be for $15,000. A proven record of scholarship and plans for a
substantial scholarly written product in the future is a requirement for grant eligibility. I will continue the prior
practice of awarding bonus grants of $5,000 to faculty who have made exceptional scholarly contributions in the
past few years and provide a prospectus for continued exceptional work this summer. Funding for qualifying pro
bono activities is also available, pursuant to a policy adopted by the faculty in 2000 and amended in 2003. A
copy of that policy is attached.
This year I will again consider applications for summer grants to work on curricular innovation. As with summer
scholarship grants, any funded curricular design project must result in a substantial product (as distinguished,
from say, simply preparing a course you have not taught before). To apply for a summer curricular grant, please
(1) identify the goal for the project, (2) describe how that goal fits into overall curricular changes at the law
school and/or nationally, (3) provide a detailed plan for developing the curricular innovation over the summer,
and (4) describe what the work product will be. At the close of the summer, those faculty who have received
curricular innovation grants will be required to deliver a description of the work, a syllabus, lesson plans that
incorporate the innovation, instructions for replicating the innovation in other courses, a description of how this
innovation fits into the literature on curricular change and any other work products described in the application.
Best,
Bill

JACKHATCK.COM // #IOWASFnrSHSTABT
Dear John:
On Tuesday we have a chance to finally end Governor Branstad's lengthy spat as Iowa's chief executive.
He's used his time in office to oppose marriage equality, oppose women's right to choose, and advocated big
time for wealthy business owners while doing almost nothing for the middle class that makes Iowa great.
Nobody ever said this was going to be a cakewalk, but we need to fight like hell to put in place a team that
understands the urgency of our state's problems and will act on them.
This governor won't address the problem of our embarrasingly dilapidated roads and bridges. This governor can't seem to
grasp that you must fund schools adequatley to allow our children to succeed. We need somebody who will make
politically tough decisions once in a while for the sake of the state.

Recommendation to Appoint Donald Sussman to the Board
Attachments:
UC Sussman final 042915.pdf
Dear Members of the Board,
I am pleased to announce that Donald Sussman has agreed to rejoin the CAP Board of Directors. Based on his distinguished
career and previous service on the board, I believe he would be an excellent addition. Please see the memo below for more
information on my recommendation and on proposed next steps.
Center for American Progress
MEMORANDUM
Date: April 29, 2015
To: Center for American Progress Board of Directors
From: Neera Tanden, President
Re: Recommendation to Appoint Donald Sussman to the Board
Recommendation for Board Action
I write to strongly recommend that the board re-appoint Donald Sussman to the CAP Board of Directors. Many of you
know Donald from his previous service on the CAP Board and from his dedicated work in progressive politics and
philanthropy. Donald served as a valued CAP director from May 2009 to May 2012, when he resigned from all boards in
order to demonstrate his commitment to an independent news source as a new owner of Maine Today Media.
Now, he is in a position to rejoin. Donald has also had a long and distinguished career in finance. Significantly, he has never
stopped being part of the American Progress family and I am confident that his perspective and commitment will be an
important part of advancing our work. If appointed, he will participate in the spring meeting on May 26, 2015.
If you agree with my recommendation, please (1) email Alex DeMots to let him know at your earliest convenience at
ademots@americanprogress.org, and (2) print and sign the attached proposed Unanimous Consent and return it to Alex via
facsimile (202-315-0453) or as a pdf via email.
Alternatively, if you would like to discuss this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear friends --
Thanks for your support of me and my recovery and of Caron Treatment Centers. Last night was a beautiful
event -- a serious heartfelt and moving but joyous celebration of the life changing and saving services that
Caron and its honorees offer. Sec Dalton started us off with a spot on invocation and we honored Whitman
Walker addiction services -- which are unparalleled for the LGBT population in the DC area. DCs own Steve
Elmendorf had made the introduction between our groups and presented them with their award. Also the Millars
and their son spoke bravely about their journey into recovery as parents of a son who almost didn't make it but
has been sober for 5.5 years. We also heard Potomac Fever sing a few songs — part of the Gay Men's Chorus
of Washington. It was very moving.
I cried a few times and felt super grateful. And I'm grateful for you and your support. If you are still looking to
contribute here's the link. www. caron. ora/make-donation-DC-gala
And most importantly if you ever think that I or Caron could help with anything related to addiction or recovery
pis do to hesitate to reach out any time of day or night.
Happy [expletive] Friday! Hope u enjoy the weekend!

Former Army Secretary Louis Caldera, who was a former California State Sen and head of the White
House Military Office in early Obama years (did the plane ride across Statue of Liberty with AF1), is
anxious to help out. Willing to do Veterans work as well as work with the Latino community. He's
free and has a lot of time, living in Maryland, but his political base is in California.
Sheila Jackson Lee is stalking me. In addition to wanting to be invovled in eveyrthing, she
specifically asked me about whether Hillary would accept the Barbara Jordan Medallion for
Service at Texas Southern University.
Amb. Luis Lauredo, former Amb. to OAS under President Clinton, lives in Argentina but he is willing
to spend a lot of time back in the states. He is happy to help particularly in Florida. I think he's
mostly a Dennis contact, but wants to do Spanish Language Media-he's been a Spanish/English
surrogate for HRC in '08 and Obama in '12.
Congressman Jim McGovern, in Mass, is willing to do anything to help, including organizing his
constituents to go to New Hampshire.
Ruth Goldway, who is an old friend of the Clintons, is a member of the Postal Regulatory
Commission. Desperately wants in, and offered to organize support amongst postal unions and
postal companies. She's a federal appointee, but she's holding over in a term is that is expired and
will be leaving this summer. Her bio is attached.

Helga Flores Trejo is a senior executive at the Inter-American Development Bank in charge
of Brazil. Used to run Heinrich Boell Foundation in Washington, which is the foundation of the
German Green Party. Has considerable electoral experience but mostly in Europe. Helga grew up
in Mexico and has worked in the US for the past 10 or 15 years. She has excellent executive and
communication skills in both English and Spanish--wants to work on the campaign. I have no idea
whether you can use her someplace, but her resume is attached.

WISCONSIN FUNDRAISING
As I indicated, I am trying to raise money for Advancing Wisconsin from local donors. Paul Schmitz is an Obama fundraiser in
Wisconsin who lives in Milwaukee. Note this update and reference to c4"s.
Paul Schmitz: He & I have talked (you'll be happy to know we talked while dropping our kids off at the same
Milwaukee Public School). He has been instructed by the campaign AGAINST ANY $ going to ANY 527. We had some back &
forth on that, I drew the distinction between Advancing Wl and a media 527, and I talked about AW also being a c4. He said a
c4 would be different. He said the priority he's been given by the campaign is for DNC checks now, and made it clear that any
other kind of giving would be a low priority. But he did invite me to attend their meetings, which are bi-weekly - I have not yet
talked to our lawyer to make sure that's okay. They're looking for a meeting space and I've asked Anne to check in with Lynde
as to whether or not Brico's conference room could be used for that purpose. I'd love to help deliver something to him so that
he sees the relationship going both ways. . .

Dear all,
I am sorry to report that Elizabeth Winter, Denise's mother, passed away yesterday at the age of 88. This was not unexpected, as she had
been receiving hospice care for the past several weeks, but Denise and her mother were especially close. New trustees will want to
know that this comes only a year and a half after Denise's husband Dennis died of lung cancer, so she goes through this loss without her
life's partner at her side. Thankfully, both her children (Knox alums Mike and Michelle) and their families are nearby.
I will provide more information as I receive it, but I also wanted trustees to be aware that Denise is a member of the trustee listserves so I
have created these two lists without her to communicate this news today.

what is odd is that - she did more than reach out to him when she left - she went a did a fundraiser for his

supportive of HRC and that she will be the nominee and understands that we might be frustrated with what

him and I assured him that HRC would be in touch soon. I think we are now in a good place with him but she

Axelrod on Hillary: 'Ready for What? 1
By Peter Sullivan
December 16, 2014
The Hill
David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, said Tuesday that Hillary Clinton needs to establish a rationale for
her presidential candidacy, saying when he hears "Ready for Hillary," he thinks, "Ready for what?"
"What happened in 2008 was that Hillary's candidacy got out in front of any rationale for it, and the danger is that that's
happening again," Axelrod, who was a top adviser to Barack Obama's come-from-behind win over Clinton in 2008, said
on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"You hear Ready for Hillary; it's like, 'Ready for what?' "
Axelrod said Clinton could be using the time before she announces her candidacy to decide the answer to that question.
"Now Hillary's task is to define what it is that she's running for and running about," Axelrod said. "And what would the
future look like under another President Clinton, and I suspect that's what she's taking her time working through now, but
she has to answer that question."
Liberal groups have been pushing forward with an effort to convince Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to challenge Clinton
from the left on economic issues.
MoveOn.org, one of the groups, announced Monday that it has passed 100,000 signatures on its "Run Warren Run"
petition. Warren insists she is not running but always phrases the denial in the present tense, which some see as leaving
the door open.
Asked if there is an opening for Warren, Axelrod said, "I suppose there is.
"My suspicion is that what she's doing is trying to influence how Hillary frames her candidacy and the issues she focuses
on," Axelrod said. "I think Elizabeth is very sincere about her concerns about what's happening in the American economy,
and Hillary hasn't yet said what exactly her program will be, what she's running on. I think Elizabeth knows she's got
maximum leverage by still being in the conversation."
Many of Axelrod's fellow Obama campaign alumni are now working for Clinton's campaign-in-waiting in some capacity. Jim
Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager, for example, signed on as co-chairman of the pro-Clinton super-PAC
Priorities USA.
Two more top campaign aides, Mitch Stewart and Jeremy Bird, have joined Ready for Hillary.

PRESS CALL: NEW CAPAF Report on John McCain and Job Creation
Read the report here
WASHINGTON, DC— Today at 12:30 PM, the Center for American Progress Action Fund will hold a conference call to discuss a
new report on John McCain's economic plan. Given today's stark news of 159,000 jobs lost in September, this report will shed
an important light on McCain's job creation claims.
The report, by CAPAF Senior Policy Advisor Brian Levine, reveals that McCain's plan will not create a meaningful number of jobs
in the short-term. The situation in America's labor market cries out for urgent action but McCain has no answer. The report
analyzes the corporate tax breaks that make up John McCain's "economic stimulus" plan and concludes that they create very
few jobs, despite their high cost. A more efficient stimulus plan, costing the same amount, would create more than four times
as many jobs as the McCain plan. CAPAF Senior Fellow Dr. Christian Weller and Brian Levine will discuss the implications of
McCain's policies given the current economic crisis.

Subject: top candidate
Hi John -
Tuesday is the LAST quarterly FEC deadline before Election Day. If we're going to beat Congresswoman Hayworth and
the Boehner agenda, we’ve GOT to crush her fundraising number in this report (we can't fall behind ANYWHERE now).
With polls in the single digits and getting closer, attack ads on the air, and POLITICO calling Hayworth a “top candidate,” if
we concede a single inch, we may as well concede right now.
To be prepared for October, we need $6,500 to get Sean’s field team going, $8,500 for mailers, and $15,000 for ads in
the first week. Can you chip in $250 before the FEC deadline to point us to victory?
Thanks. Sean’s counting on you.
- Maura

Comments about DOMA on Rachel Maddow
Again she said that DOMA was an effort to find a middle ground and to prevent a constitutional amendment.
That's not what happened - or nobody remembers it that way at least. I have tried to talk to her about this. I've
written talking points about this. I don't really know what to do further. She and the president keep wanting to
say this but it is not serving us.
We've had a great week. The Human Rights Campaign speech was fantastic. The gay rights answer she gave
the other day at the Townhall was fantastic. But she can't say this about DOMA. It will get us in a lot of trouble.
How to proceed?

All:
CHAI would like to request that President Clinton call Sheik Mohammed to thank him for offering his plane to the conference in
Ethiopia and expressing regrets that President Clinton's schedule does not permit him to attend the conference.
Ed Wood has prepared a briefing memo for President Clinton about the call which is attached.

On excitement
Maybe there's a battle she can take on that is authentic to her? Drug companies? Not just for a day but for a
long time. Fighting a particular injustice and showing she's on the right side. Of course I'd love it to be Wall
Street. But that means being on endless calls w gene which I have little stomach for. But she hates (or at least
used to hate) the drug companies and people know she's been into health care for a long time.

We've taken on a lot of water that won't be easy to pump out of the boat.
Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her instincts.
She's nervous so prepping more and performing better.
Got to do something to pump up excitement but not certain how to do that.

say good things about CAP -both in energy and repro health (where we really need the money too).

Updated with changes accepted here, and adding speechbook@ as we're guessing she needs this ASAP.
Please note that this DOES have the Detroit line:
This week, I’m heading to Detroit to talk about my plan to create jobs in the Motor City and all across

This reads like she's for a $15 minimum wage and I think we have to choose our language more carefully. Reporters
will not cut us any slack on this.
I also don't like - "When unions are strong, America' is strong" — it is obviously the line she has always used on
family, which is core to where her focus has been her whole life that we weaken it when it we start using it for other
purposes. — Why can't we say: I have always believed that when unions are strong, it lifts/strengthen all working
Americans. — we could then make the point that is was unions that led the fight for health care more than half a
century ago; it was and still are unions leading the fight to raise the minimum wage, which we need to do and which
will lift 35MM working Americans out of poverty.
On the seat at the table — I would flip second and third sentence., her promise.... As long as you're fighting for
working families in America, I'll be in the trenches fighting alongside you and when I'm in the White House, labor will
always have a seat at the table (and your voices will always be heard. )

Other thing I dont see here is a mention of heading to Michigan and how she will have more to say
about creating jobs there. She does not need to say the words herself - but we were going to use the
occasion of this speech to tell the press that she would have a jobs speech on Friday in Detroit.

2) more people are working more jobs is ambiguous and
subject to different meaning. Do we mean more people are
working two or more jobs?
3) I've tried this one before but in the democracy fight, I still
think it's stronger to say "I'll appoint Supreme Court Justices
who will protect the the right to vote and not the right of a
few billionaires to buy elections." Bernie has now linked
Citizens United to Court appointments which may make this
more or less desirable.

concerns. So that's worth discussing.

Four Fights but we haven't come up with a better frame

should sell her on it. If not, we should try to make sure
the Four Fights feels coherent and big enough to carry

John,
My campaign manager sent around some daunting news yesterday: If donations don’t increase
dramatically, we will have to make some drastic cuts to our campaign.
Donate Sio. $ 25 . or Sso now to keep us on track until Election Day.
There are fewer than to days until November, so we can’t afford to let up the pressure.
Donate Sio. $ 25 . or $50 today so can finish this race strong.
Thanks,
Mike

Everyone,
I have terrible news. Looking at our fundraising numbers and our projected budget, we are
in serious trouble. If we don't get more cash fast then we might have to cut our Get Out
The Vote program, or even close a field office.
Nothing is final yet, and if donations pick back up we should be fine, but I wanted to
warn everyone about our situation.

Subject: DRAFT: TPs on guns for tomorrow in NH
Here are short TPs about guns for the NH community college town hall tomorrow.
This is not a town hall exclusively about gun violence — it's just a regular town hall. But the person who will introduce
her will tell a story about gun violence in her life, and there will be people in the audience from gun violence orgs.
Since she won't have a podium, rather than write TPs that cover her broader message, I just did guns.
See what you think. Attached and pasted below.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
TALKING POINTS ON GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION
MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE
MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2015
10 / 18/2016

Page 1913
Too many families have stories like Erin’s - or worse.
We’ve seen yet another mass murder - this time, in a community college in Oregon that’s probably a lot like this
one. That same day, a five-month-old baby girl strapped into her car seat was killed by a stray bullet in Cleveland.
She was the third child killed by a gun in Cleveland in the last month alone.
We can’t just pray for the victims and their families, and pretend like that’s enough. It’s not nearly enough. We
need to act. We need to build a movement.
You shouldn’t have to be afraid to go college, or the movies, or a Bible study class, or to drive around your
hometown with your kids in the backseat. What’s wrong with us that we can’t we stand up to the NRA and gun
manufacturers?
I’m sick of politicians reacting to gun deaths with what amounts to a shrug. Here’s what Jeb Bush actually said
about the massacre in Oregon: “Look,” he said. “Stuff happens. There’s always a crisis. And the impulse is always to
do something. And it’s not necessarily the right thing."
Governor: you couldn’t be more wrong. This kind of violence doesn’t just happen . We let it happen. We let it
happen when we don’t take sensible steps to keep guns out of the wrong hands. We let it happen when we don’t do
anything to gun dealers who break the rules. We let it happen when children die and we don’t do a thing about it.
People who claim they want to lead America shouldn’t just accept the mass murder of Americans. You deserve so
much better than that.
As President, I’ll take on the gun lobby. I’ll fight to stop domestic abusers and people with mental illness from
getting guns... to revoke the licenses of gun dealers who break the rules... to get military-style weapons off our
streets... and to end the special immunity that protects gun-makers from accountability.
If Congress doesn’t act to prevent gun violence, as President, I will. That’s a promise.

Oklahoma.
The purpose of this communication is to request some kind of "official" acknowledgement of the matriarch of an exceptional family who turns 100

for CONGRESS
Dear John,
I wanted to make sure you saw Mike’s message from earlier this week.
He’s right. Donald Trump’s bigotry and divisive rhetoric is disturbing — and it’s time for the
American people to find their voice, like Mike did after living in an internment camp as a
child, to defeat this kind of darkness in the United States. Can you add your name
today?
Thanks,
Michael Beckendorf
Campaign Manager
Honda for Congress
It’s been said the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. I’ve
seen that happen. Silence takes hold and we lose sight of our values.
I witnessed it after living in an internment camp as a child, but in that darkness I found my
voice and become an advocate for justice and equality in this country. Now, as Donald
Trump’s rhetoric is soaring in the polls, our country needs to find our voice in the darkness yet
again to defeat his bigotry.
Sign my petition to tell Donald Trump, and the Republican Party, that we
won’t stay silent in the face of their bigotry and divisive rhetoric.
Donald Trump wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States. Marco Rubio wants to
shut down mosques. Jeb Bush and Chris Christie want to keep women and orphans fleeing
terrorism from coming to our country. These are not caricatures of these candidates. It is the
policies they’re proposing, and it is disappointing and disturbing to see the politics of fear
reenter our political culture.
But the best thing about this country is that we can be the change we want.
If we truly believe in a country that values love, equality, and justice, then we have to reject
the politics of hate and racism. All we have to do to win this battle is find our voice one more
time.
Find your voice in the darkness by signing my petition to denounce Donald
Trump’s rhetoric.

It’s time for each of us to look inside ourselves and challenge the darkness once more. It’s time

dangerous ideas.

Subject: Peter Baker
The Times has decided against a magazine piece so he is doing daily reporting on the transition efforts for both campaigns and
writing for this weekend. The Post is working on a similar piece.
I just played a long game of "I'm not going to comment on that" with Peter. Here is what he told me:
1) Jim Hamilton has begun vetting
2) 13 working groups
3) Decision made on staffing decisions before Cabinet - belief that trying to do Cabinet first was huge problem for Clinton
administration
4) No problems with security clearances that he's heard
I told him that not only did I not know what was going on but that we weren't discussing transition period - so a lot of "I don't
know" stuff on my end. I have asked Chris to send an email out to folks reminding them that as we get closer to the election the
press inquiries will accelerate but the same rules apply.
It's my understanding that Balz was pretty aggressive with Palmieri around our lack of cooperation in these stories - Peter Baker
was in his own nice way pretty aggressive with me (anytime I am accused of being like "the bushies" ! ) The argument is 1) two
wars; 2) financial meltdown 3) lead in polls equals need for Obama to reassure country he's proceeding and ready for a
seamless, or as seamless as possible, transition. Not suggesting we change our stance on no discussion right now - simply
flagging that we may draw a little good government/editorial flack as we get closer

Subject: New apparel report from Free2Work
View this email in your browser
Dear Friend,
What makes the perfect t-shirt? Is it the fit, the color, the price? Is it the way it's
made — from the treatment of the people involved in its construction to the stitching
along the seams?
As a Not For Sale supporter, we’re willing to bet your answer is “all of the above.”
And while the fashion world has a long way to go to catch up, the 2015 Apparel
Industry Trends Report -- created by Not For Sale and Baptist World Aid Australia --
shows important, if imperfect, progress.
We hope you find the whole report fascinating, but here's a quick snapshot:
• We're moving in the right direction. Two-thirds of brands rated in 2013
had improved their grades in 2015, and brands were 39% more responsive
when approached for feedback in 201 5 than in 201 3.
• Some of the biggest brands are on board. H&M and Inditex (Zara) are
among the best-rated brands in the report, making real efforts to pay better
wages to workers throughout the supply chain.
• We still have a long way to go. Only 12% of companies demonstrated
any action toward paying wages above the legal minimum and -- even then --
only for part of their supply chain.
• Supply chain transparency is critical. Of those rated, 91 % of companies
still don’t know where all of their cotton comes from and 75% don’t know the
source of all of their fabrics and inputs. We simply can’t protect workers if we
can’t identify them.
We hope you’ll take some time to flip through the report, which is available on Not
For Sale’s sister site, Free2Work . You can also find updated grades for your
favorite brands on the site, just the tool you need to use your consumer power for
good.
Yours,
The Not For Sale Team

Hi Hannah,
Good to talk to you this morning and thanks for all you and your colleagues did for us at the golf tournament. We
really enjoyed all of it and especially the chance to visit with him at the villa Friday evening. As I may have
mentioned, Dan had not seen him since '92 in Concord.
Below is the radio interview request from Jack Heath who has the top rated morning radio talk show in NH. When
the president was running and in office, Jack was the news director at WMUR-TV, our ABC affiliate. Jack interviewed
him numerous times up here and at least once in the oval office. He was always respectful and very fair and I am
pretty sure WJC will remember him. The Governor, Legislature and Secretary Gardner are making a big deal out of
the 100 th anniversary of our primary over the next year. A special Commission on which I serve was set up to
oversee the commemorative events etc. In my opinion no one has done more to shine a light on the NH Primary and
keep it first than WJC with his supportive comments nationally over the years so it is most fitting that he be
interviewed about his campaign here and talk about what the NH Primary means for candidates, the races and
selection of the ultimate nominees.
If you or anyone else has any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. My cell is 603-496-9919; office
number is below. As noted, Jack would like to do this before Feb. 9, but I am sure will do whatever he can to
accommodate the president's schedule. Thanks for considering this.
Best, Terry

Subject: Radio taped interview with President Clinton
Hi Terry,
I am interested in taping a 5-10 minute radio for my daily Morning NewsTalk Show "New Hampshire Today
with Jack Heath" solely on the President's reflections and memories of his first NH Presidential Primary
experience in which he was declared the Comeback Kid.
We are approaching the 1-year point to the 2016 First in the Nation Presidential Primary and I am planning
special historic coverage next month. I am interviewing Bill Gardner, NH Secretary of State and one of his
favorite reference points is when Bill Clinton finished 2nd in 1 992 but essentially won.
As you know, I have interviewed President Clinton on several occasions, including in the Oval Office when I
was News Director of WMUR TV. Mr. Clinton also invited me to interview him in White Plains NY when he
was President.
My show airs daily on WGIR AM 610, 96.7FM in Portsmouth and on iHeartRadio live daily from 6 to 9am. I
would request a pre tape call in interview with President Clinton some morning any day between next week and
before February 9th.
The call in number is 6036416565.
Again, the sole topic is his reflection on the NH Primary, why it works and why it is special.
Thanks,
Jack Heath, 6037142607

Mr. Podesta,
I made your acquaintance some years ago when I was at Bellcore prior to your service to President
Clinton. I reach out to you today in my current role as Director of Government Relations for Huawei
Technologies, Inc. (USA) and yours as Counselor to the President with responsibility for big data and
privacy issues.
You are no doubt aware of the report on the front page of the New York Times about the penetration
of Huawei's equipment and internal servers by the National Security Agency (NSA). In light of the
story, I write to request your indulgence for the opportunity to meet with you, informally and perhaps
over coffee. Of course, the company is concerned about the veracity of the story and the ongoing
concerns of the U.S. government's concern about the company and its ownership, relationship to,
and its complicity in cyber attacks and surveillance by the Chinese government and military. The
company has denied all of these, but despite efforts to be more forthcoming and transparent, clearly
the company has not done so to the satisfaction of virtually any government official.
Our objective in meeting with you is not to try to persuade you or to be confrontational, by any
means. Instead we seek answers about the story and to get your guidance on how we can move
forward cooperatively. You may not be in the best position to do the former; still, we seek to your
counsel.
I am using my personal email account rather than my Huawei email address, but would be extremely
grateful for a response by whatever means suits you. My contact information is below. The meeting
would only involve myself and my boss, Bill Plummer, VP for External Affairs, who is quoted in the
story. We would her happy to meet at a time and place of your convenience.
Thank you. I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

David
McCain in NH: Would Be "Fine" To Keep Troops in Iraq for "A Hundred Years"
David Corn
January 3, 2008
http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/01/6735_mccain_in_nh_wo.html <http://
www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/01/6735_mccain_in_nh_wo.html>
The United States military could stay in Iraq for "maybe a hundred years" and that "would be fine with me," John
McCain told two hundred or so people at a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire, on Thursday evening.
Toward the end of this session, which was being held shortly before the Iowa caucuses were to start, McCain
was confronted by Dave Tiffany, who calls himself a "full-time antiwar activist." In a heated exchange, Tiffany told
McCain that he had looked at McCain's campaign website and had found no indication of how long McCain was
willing to keep U.S. troops in Iraq. Arguing that George W. Bush's escalation of troops has led to a decline in
U.S. casualties, McCain noted that the United States still maintains troops in South Korea and Japan. He said he
had no objection to U.S. soldiers staying in Iraq for decades, "as long as Americans are not being injured,
harmed or killed."
After the event ended, I asked McCain about his "hundred years" comment, and he reaffirmed the remark,
excitedly declaring that U.S. troops could be in Iraq for "a thousand years" or "a million years," as far as he was
concerned. The key matter, he explained, was whether they were being killed or not: "It's not American
presence; it's American casualties." U.S. troops, he continued, are stationed in South Korea, Japan, Europe,
Bosnia, and elsewhere as part of a "generally accepted policy of America's multilateralism." There's nothing
wrong with Iraq being part of that policy, providing the government in Baghdad does not object.
In other words, McCain does not equate victory in lraq--which he passionately urges at campaign events--with
10/18/2016

Page 1937
the removal of U.S. troops from that nation. After McCain told Tiffany that he could see troops remaining in Iraq
for a hundred years, a reporter sitting next to me quipped, "There's the general election campaign ad." He
meant the Democratic ad: John McCain thinks it would be okay if U.S. troops stayed in Iraq for another hundred
years
Well, it was straight talk. And McCain's combativeness livened up a session during which he alternated between
the old McCain (as in punchy, feisty, humorous) and the old McCain (as in just plain old). He moved a bit stiffly
on the stage set up in the middle of the Adams Memorial Opera House. And he--somewhat oddly-shared the
spotlight with Senator Joseph Lieberman, who has endorsed him. Lieberman did not merely introduce McCain;
he stood by McCain during the entire event, helping McCain to answer questions about education, climate
change, and the Iraq war. Several times, Lieberman gave more coherent and animated replies than did McCain.
Repeatedly, Lieberman maintained that McCain could rack up bipartisan successes as president. (The
Lieberman sidekick bit was curious. But an elementary-age girl in the audience did say, after being handed a
microphone, that Lieberman was her role-model and that she fancied McCain. Lieberman hugged her, and the
whole crowd oohed at this cuteness.)
McCain has been coming on strong in New Hampshire, where he beat George W. Bush by 18 points in the 2000
Republican primary. (Some polls place him in the lead.) Eight years ago, McCain thrived as an independent-
minded GOPer willing to blast the corruptions of Washington. These days, his stock appears to be rising
because he has stuck with the Iraq war and boasts of years of national security experience. "If the world was
stable, we could afford Mitt Romney as the national CEO," says a McCain campaign aide (who asks not to be
identified). "But in an unsafe and unstable world, Republican voters, and some independents, are coming to see
that we need a warrior in the White House." The crisis in Pakistan, this aide notes, was a timely reminder.
So McCain is not doing so bad for a candidate who was on life-support last summer. But it's not that he has
craftily orchestrated his revival; the other campaigns have fallen flat. Romney has hard a tough time selling
himself as a fellow ready to be commander in chief. Rudy Giuliani cast himself as Mr. 9/1 1 -which is different
from persuading voters you are Mr. Win the War. Fred Thompson, who highlighted the foreign policy experience
he obtained on the Senate intelligence committee, has mounted a lackluster bid. Mike Huckabee has had little to
say about national security and has gaffed too often on foreign policy. Regarding national security and the war,
McCain has become the default Republican.
"The Mac is back," Lieberman exclaimed in Derry. Perhaps it's merely that McCain managed to stay on his feet
while his rivals have faltered. In the next few days, McCain and his supporters will be pushing him as the
Republican who is ready for wartime. This is a potent argument. But will it win over the New Hampshire
independents who swooned over McCain in 2000? This slice of the electorate is not particularly fond of the war
McCain champions. Michael Dennehy, McCain's political director, says that independents "will agree to disagree
on the war with him if they think he's being honest." Well, with McCain boldly declaring he doesn't give a damn
how long U.S. troops are deployed in Iraq, his strategists can certainly say he is not holding back. Whether that
indeed impresses independents (and Republicans) in New Hampshire won't be known until this Tuesday.
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape.

Anticipating that we will be asked before long about the Senate vote approving standalone TPA -- "based on her

response for discussion:
"This vote on a fast-track procedure does not address the merits of the trade deal itself, about which she remains deeply
concerned. As she has said before, she believes the administration should approach our negotiating partners in pursuit of
a better framework in order to ensure we truly protect American workers and their wages. In addition, she believes it is
absolutely essential that Congress act quickly to extend trade-adjustment assistance, which was separated from the TPA
proposal approved today but expires very soon."

Everybody was happy - well maybe not Huma - but that was with me not with Q-Tip. He was lovely and eloquent.
He talked to her about how it's important to let a young black kid in Harlem know how the events in Paris effect him,
and how it's so important to connect with the millennial generation in ways that speak to them - being unique and
authentic. She remembered that he DJed Chelsea's bday party without prompting! She's amazing. He did mention
the radio show BUT it was just in the context of the things he's working on now.
I talked to him a lot before and after - 1 asked him what he thought about doing the radio show with an audience -
which I think would allow us to curate an amazing collection of diverse influencers. This takes us out of his house and
gives us more bang for the buck. I'm going to follow up with Betsaida on this!
What do you think?!!!! And THANK YOU for your help with this this morning.

Afghanistan Exit Amendment

Glass Half Full: House Democratic Caucus Backs
McGovern Afghanistan Exit Amendment
Tom Andrews
June 25, 2009
For those concerned the U.S. is becoming mired in a military quagmire in Afghanistan there was good news and
bad news on the House floor this afternoon:
The good news is that a majority of House Democrats just voted (131-1 14) to support the McGovern
amendment to the House Defense Authorization bill that requires the Pentagon to develop a military exit strategy
from Afghanistan.
The bad news is that the overwhelming majority of House Republicans voted against the amendment (164-7),
leading to its defeat.
For opponents of endless war in Afghanistan, it is a question of the glass being half empty or half full.
One the one hand, the glass is half full: this was a strong first vote on what will likely become a prolonged
struggle. The early Congressional votes on the Vietnam and Iraq wars were lopsided affairs as Members took
the bait that a vote against administration policy is a vote against our troops. With this vote, it's clear that a
majority of Congressional Democrats understand that establishing a clear mission that includes a strategy for
getting our troops home is necessary to support and protect the men and women we're sending into harm's way.
Endless war is not.
On the other hand, the glass is half empty: Congressman McGovern's proposal was very modest. It did not
proscribe what the exit strategy should be or on what time-line it should be accomplished. It simply required the
administration to come up with one. As Congressman McGovern argued on the floor today: "This should not be
controversial." How does something that does what the president himself told a national television audience last
month was needed in Afghanistan go down to defeat in the House? How does one oppose such a reasonable
and modest proposal?
Simple. You find yourself under pressure from your party leadership-be it Democratic or Republican-and the
administration. Leaders on both sides of the aisle pulled out all the stops to defeat this measure. The Democratic
and Republican leaders of both the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees lobbied hard. They
circulated a letter from all four leaders of the committees imploring a no vote while the debate was underway on
the House floor. The administration enlisted the direct engagement of Secretary of State Clinton and
Ambassador Holbrooke to convince Members to say no. The president may believe in the necessity of an exit
strategy for US forces in Afghanistan but his administration is loathe to actually come up with one.
The McGovern amendment may have come up short today, but nevertheless count me in the glass-half-full
camp. Winning the House Democratic Caucus on an issue opposed by Democratic leadership and the White
House is no small feat. Indeed, it is hard to vote against the position of a president who you so desperately want
to succeed. But this is precisely why many did just that. They do not want to see this administration-and all of the
hope and promise that it brings-mired in an endless war that ends in a disaster for all. The very real prospect
10/18/2016

Page 1947
that the escalation of our forces in Afghanistan will make things much worse and not better is why 80% of
Afghans oppose it.
Our congratulations and thanks go to Congressman McGovern (D-MA), Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC),
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Ca), and Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME), the lead sponsors of this
amendment. They deserve our thanks not only for taking a principled stand on an important and controversial
issue, but for going to work to make this a significant vote - one that will stand as a marker for the struggle
ahead. Come to think of it, with friends like these in Congress, our glasses are more than half full.

Subject: Campbell's New Position on GMO Labeling
Hi Gary,
I wanted you to hear from me directly that Campbell Soup Company today announced its support for the enactment of federal legislation to establish a
single mandatory on-pack labeling standard for foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The New York Times just posted a news
item that will also appear in Friday morning's edition.
Campbell believes the time has come for the federal government to provide a national standard for labeling requirements to better inform consumers
about this issue. The company will advocate for federal legislation that would require all foods and beverages regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be clearly and simply labeled for GMOs. Campbell also supports a national standard for non-
GMO claims made on food packaging. We are not endorsing any specific legislation at this time.
I have attached the statement we issued a short while ago. I welcome your questions.

Days of Rage, Reform, and a Winning
2016 Strategy
By Stan Greenberg & Page Gardner.
These are days of rage in American politics. Americans
believe that the political and economic systems are rigged
against them, that the government works only for the wealthy
and that billionaires are buying elections. They believe
experienced politicians are part of the problem, that the
status quo has got to go, and their anger is fueling the
success of outside candidates. That rage will shape the
2016 election ahead.
But it is time for progressives to see this as an opportunity,
rather than a problem. If they do not get it, they will miss an
opening to galvanize the great majority of Americans who
are increasingly hungry for change. Coupled with this rising
impulse is a demand for bold reform of how America does
politics. Understanding this dynamic may be the difference
between winning and losing this year, and could spark a
transformation in the way we run elections and our
government.

The Rising American Electorate — the combination of
unmarried women, people of color and millennials — makes
up the majority of eligible voters and this year, for the first
time in history, could comprise the majority of votes cast in a
national election. This year the Rising American Electorate
will be voting for change. Many of them, particularly white
unmarried women, stand out as among those most
disaffected with the direction of the country, and share a lot of
emotions with white working class women and men, the first
audiences for the candidates of rage. They all crave
fundamental government and political reform and are likely
to vote for candidates who share their alarm and frustration,
according to recent research conducted by Democracy
10/18/2016

Corps and the Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund.
Over the course of last year, other major polls confirmed
deepening voter belief in the need for reform. In November,
a Pew Research Center poll found 59 percent of voters
saying the government needs “very major reform,” up from
37 percent in 1997. A June New York Times/CBS News
poll found a stunning 98 percent believe campaign financing
needs changing - with 85 percent saying that the system
needs fundamental changes or to be rebuilt completely.
Tapping into this desire for reform and acknowledging the
need to end the influence of special interest money in
elections and reduce waste in government - in combination
with an agenda that helps working families - brings core
constituencies including swing and Independent voters into
the 2016 conversation. It also produces significant shifts in
the electorate and helps address three big challenges:
• Closing the enthusiasm gap: Our December 2015
Democracy Corps/WVWVAF poll showed unmarried
women, millennials and people of color significantly
less excited about the election than older, white,
conservative voters.
• Ensuring unmarried women and millennial voters turn
out in numbers large enough to drive wins not just in
the presidential race but in Congressional and other
races on the ballot too — a result that will help achieve
their policy interests and goals.
• Seizing the opportunity to align and find common
cause with white working class women.
We believe these challenges can be overcome by adopting
a narrative that puts a middle class agenda at the center of
the economic debate and leads the conversation with an
embrace of reform: reform of BOTH politics and
government.
Many candidates from the highest level down have
embraced a bold work and family agenda that aims to level
the playing field for the middle class. The agenda includes
policies that protect Social Security, make college affordable
and cut student debt and help working families with child
care, paid sick days and equal pay for women.
But to engage, excite and increase turnout of progressive,
independent and swing voters, these Americans must see
that the parties and candidates themselves are enraged by
the crony capitalism that is denying ordinary citizens a voice
and a government that works for special interests, not
taxpayers. That is why progressives must embrace upfront
10/18/2016

Page 1956
the call for systemic political and government reform that
includes barring corporate and secret contributions, ensuring
taxpayers get their money's worth and rooting out waste.
It is this sequencing of the message, starting with the
demand to fix what’s broken, that captures voters’ attention
and produces big increases in enthusiasm. In our most
recent poll, 62 percent of Rising American Electorate voters
described themselves as very enthusiastic about voting in
2016, up from 56 percent after hearing the linked reform/
middle class agenda message. The message also produced
a 10-point increase among millennials.
Progressives should welcome the rage about politics
because this momentum can be translated into electoral and
policy changes. Messaging that combines a core
progressive economic message with a powerful statement
on reforming our politics and our government produces
significant changes in the electorate that, if fully realized,
could lead to increased voter participation and convert voter
anger into positive action that starts to repair our political
system and government. This year and this election might
just be the moment when voters’ outrage triggers a new age
for our nation, when our democracy delivers on the promise
of majority rule.

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to share with you the news that after four and a half years of top notch, dedicated service to my office and the entire
Law Center community, Katie Wrede is concluding her time as my executive assistant. As many of you may know, in Fall 2012, Katie
was admitted to the Law Center's evening program. Since then, she has been supporting my office full time while at the same
time working diligently as a law student. Katie will begin her final year this Fall, and will now be able to focus full time on her
studies and her life and career beyond law school. Katie's last day working in the office will be tomorrow, Friday, May
15th . having concluded another year of meritorious service as we move on to this year's graduation ceremonies.
Since her arrival in December 2010, Katie has been an integral part of my staff. As you know, she welcomed numerous visiting
guests, scheduled (and often rescheduled!) countless meetings, and managed my calendar, itself a moving
target. Katie's professionalism and grace in the face of the constant flow of activity and changes in plans are both indicative of
her dedication to the Law Center and a tribute to her. I thank Katie for her exceptional support these past years, and will miss
her.
Please join me in thanking and congratulating Katie on her contributions to the Law Center and wishing her well on her final year
in law school.
Sincerely,
Bill

Dear Jake,
I had dinner tonight with my long-time friend. Professor (Haifa University) Amatzia Baram, one of the top experts in the
world on Iraq and ISIS, which was reinforced this evening. He was consulted extensively by the USG during the Bush
Administration (they ignored his advice on the Sunni tribes); was at the US Institute of Peace, and the Woodrow Wilson
Center, and Georgetown. He has just published a new book on Sadaam.
I really believe it would be worth a half hour of your time, to hear his insights, and could help shape Hillary's policies during
the campaign and this increasingly timely issue.
He is in Washington until July 1, and can be reached at 202-247-7159 .

John,
I was in DC last month and met with Dennis about my desire to join the Truman National Security Project. I
understand he was able to discuss this idea with you. I would be so grateful if you would consider writing me a
recommendation letter.
As you may know I am currently enrolled in the Naval War College Master's Program for National Security
Policy and Strategic Studies. The Truman Project would be an invaluable organization to apply my military
experience and what I'm learning in the War College program.
Attached is my CV for background and a draft recommendation letter. I acknowledge that the letter is very
generous, so please feel free to edit as necessary.
I know how busy you are, so I am especially grateful for your help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
John

So the consultants have huddled around this message doc the past few days - and while there's a lot of consensus, there
was also some areas of disagreement between them (not necessarily a bad thing). So attached are two versions - a Jim/

Do folks agree it would be good to talk out the differences at tomorrow's meeting? And then finalize a doc to deliver to
HRC.
Lastly, John, I had a couple of follow-up questions for you regarding the "Make the positive case" piece of the agenda - so
we're properly prepared. Do you have a few minutes to talk this afternoon? My cell is 202-870-8291.

[big campaign] McCain Like Bush on Economy
McCain Summary On Economy.doc
MCCAIN LIKE BUSH ON ECONOMIC POLICY - WHILE WORKERS STRUGGLE, CORPORATIONS PROFIT
In Florida today, John McCain will offer Americans more of the same Bush economic policies that are responsible for our current economic
struggles - more rising unemployment, sluggish wage growth, and rising cost of living. McCain even supports two trillion in new tax breaks for
corporations and the rich - once again putting corporate profits before people.
After 8 years of Bush economics, America's families are hurting - but McCain only offers more of the same.
• For the seventh straight month, job numbers have fallen . With 51 ,000 jobs lost in July, unemployment jumped to 5.7 percent. The highest
unemployment rate in four years .
• Like Bush, McCain offers billions in tax cuts for Big Oil, but no relief for families. According to the Center for American
Progress Action Fund . McCain's tax plan gives nearly $4 billion in tax breaks to the top five American oil companies, but gives families very
little. Economists have panned McCain's gas tax holiday, saying it won't help families with gas prices.
McCain's economic plan, like George Bush's, is filled with giveaways for CEOs and corporations, but gives very little to
families. In addition to making the Bush tax cuts permanent, McCain offers massive new corporate tax cuts. While big oil and insurance
companies get billions in tax breaks, middle class families get little .
• McCain's corporate tax cuts would give $3.8 billion in tax breaks to the 5 biggest oil companies and $1.9 billion in tax breaks to the 10
biggest health insurers . Meanwhile, families who are struggling to pay the bills get much less .
• America's top 5 oil companies Exxon, Shell, Valero and others would stand to receive a $3.8 billion tax break, while the average family
"'might* save $44.40 from McCain's gas holiday.
• To pay for these tax breaks, McCain will have to cut programs and services like early education, student loans, cancer research, affordable
housing, and transportation by 30 percent - adding to middle class Americans' economic burdens when they are already facing a rising
cost of living.

Subject: Head's up - Reference and Hillary
Hi John,
It was so good to see you at Erin Haber’s wedding (how is it possible she’s married!)
Two things:
1. I want to help with the Hillary for President campaign, so please forward my contact info (below) to the right
person. And let me know if there is anything I can to to help with progressives and environmentalists in
particular. I am very happy to be public and vocal among my enviro peers in making a clear and heartfelt case
for enviros getting behind her NOW!
2. I have applied for a job as executive director of the Bay Area Open Space Council, and gave you as a
reference. I used you as an example of a board member who I worked well with, and as someone who can
speak to me as a strategist and organizational leader. I am one of two finalists, and they are moving quickly. My
understanding is that there is some very strong enthusiasm for my candidacy though there are two areas of
hesitancy: 1 . Can I establish myself quickly as a lobbyist for open space issues in Sacramento (we will be
working on a big land bond initiative on the ballot for 2016), and 2. Some people find me either as intimidating
or a big organization-type person and wonder if I would be happy or a fit at a smaller organization that is a
coalition of 65 + organizations working on protected lands in the Bay Area (ranging from small land trusts to big
organizations like the National Park Service.) The head hunter is Nancy Painter.
Thanks so much for your help. I know you are crazy busy now, a word from you would be helpful.
Best,
Deb

John,
I know you've gotten a lot of emails from us lately, but your help matters now more than ever.
Tonight's midnight fundraising deadline is our most important yet --and we're only $2,040 away from
meeting our goal.
Can you help us get there with a $75, $40, or $20 contribution right away?
Newspapers have called my opponent's negative TV ads 'reckless, irresponsible fiction,' but they're not
stopping-- and we need to fight back.
Every dollar and every contribution matters.
Thank you,
Cheri

Hello, friends. What would you think about her doing interviews around
corporate purpose? Like maybe with Joe Klein, Jonathan Alter
and or EJ? Last week we thought maybe we should give her some time
post-overall speech before putting her in an on the record setting.
What do you think now? Thanks, all

Subject: Bad news:
Friend —
Good news and bad news. While we've been blown away by the hundreds of donations since Terry launched
his Rapid Response Fund, right-wing groups continue to pour money into Cuccinelli's campaign.
The RGA's thrown nearly $6 million behind Cuccinelli's campaign — and that's on top of hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of support from the Koch brothers, the anti-women's health group Susan B. Anthony
List, and countless others.
We need to raise another $91 ,125 by the end of August if we're going to keep up with the Republicans'
fundraising.
Donate $5 or whatever you can right now to help us fund Terry's Rapid Response Fund — and
to make sure we can respond to the baseless attacks they're throwing at Terry.

END CITIZENS UNITED'S
BIRTHDAY CARD TO
Ruth Bader
Ginsberg
During her tenure, Justice Ginsburg has been one of the loudest and strongest voices
against the corrupting influence of money in politics:
“If there was one decision I would overrule y it would be
Citizens United. I think the notion that we have all the
democracy that money can buy strays so far from
what our democracy is supposed to be”
— Ruth Bader Ginsburg, September 28, 2014
We want to show Justice Ginsburg how grateful End Citizens United’s supporters are for
everything she’s done to stand up to the corrupting influence of unlimited and
undisclosed money.
So we’re going to send her a card for her birthday. But first, we need you to
sign it!

Subject: Another Shriver Report Emmy Nomination
Shriver Report Family
So happy to announce that the hour we did with Chris Flayes on the Shriver Report last year has been nominated for an Emmy in
the Outstanding News Discussion and Analysis category.
Flere's a link to the announcement:
http://cdn.emmvonline.org/news 36th nominations test.pdf
A big shout out to all of you who made the often flat conversation about poor Americans break through nationally because of
your professional excellence. Kudos to Chris Flayes and MSNBC for putting it on the air.
And thank God for Hillary, who is courageously and consistently putting women and families at the center of the nation's
economic agenda - - thanks again to a lot of you!!
Finger's crossed...

P.S. For those who are counting, The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Pushes Back from the Brink has been nominated for an
Emmy, and the accompanying HBO Documentary, "Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life and Times of Katrina Gilbert," has been
nominated for an Emmy and received a Television Academy Honor for "using the power of television to shift cultural acceptance
and influence the hearts and minds of the viewer." Have a nice day, fellow warriors.

Tutoring Program!
Why be a tutor? You get paid for tutoring, help your peers, meet new students, review old material and it's a
great activity to put on your CV! This year in addition to one-on-one tutoring, we have added walk-in
tutoring hours. These will be held in SEB-5 from 5:30-7:30 every Tuesday and Thursday.
Once you're approved by the deans the only requirement for participation is attendance at a short training
session (with free food!). You can attend one of two training sessions to be held on Wednesday, August

HRC still isn’t exactly sold on the speech. Is concerned its neither fish

narrative. Her answer is to be more direct up front about why she’s there
and why she isn’t. Say explicitly that she has a big decision to make and
if she decides to move forward, then she’ll be back with a lot more to say
about where we should take the country. But for now, she’s here for Tom

how she’s waiting with baited breath.

Dear John,
I seek your guidance on an issue we discussed much earlier. As you may recall, during President Obama's first term, my name w as
forw arded by Secretary Clinton to the White House for the position of special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). The
White House appointed Rashad Hussain instead. It is my understanding that the position might be open again.
Frankly speaking, I do not know if and how I should let the White House know of my interest in that position. I would be greatly obliged if
you could kindly let me know the right course. I will act as per your suggestion follow through or drop it!
Please find attached my information. Many thanks.
Warmest regards, Osman.

There's a letter being drafted that will be signed by former cabinet officials, both D and R, in support of
trade.
We've made sure that it isn't a letter that would be specific to just Secretaries of State, for example, but
would include multiple agencies.
Let me know how you would like to proceed and who the right person to engage on this issue.
Let's talk next week.

Hi John-
Just a note to let you know the meeting with FM K. Shanmugam is locked for next Friday from 11 am - 12 pm.
Would you prefer to go to him as a courtesy? He offered to come to you here at CAP (and we'd reserve an
appropriate room, not just the office).
Also, when does the family arrive? After the meeting with FM Shanmugam, we have blocked 12 pm onward next
Friday for pig roast prep and hanging with family, assuming you need that. If you don't, just tell us.
Thanks,
Eryn

Subject: [big campaign] McCain Out of Touch with Women
MCCAIN OUT OF TOUCH WITH WOMEN
The McCain campaign has been pushing the storyline that McCain is poised to win over Hillary Clinton voters, especially women. The facts
undercut their argument. A look at McCain’s policies and polling data shows that McCain will have trouble winning the women’s vote in
November.
MCCAIN’S POLICIES ARE BAD FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES
McCain’s policies on the issues women care about - like the economy, the war in Iraq and health care - leave families
on their own.
o McCain’s economic plan, like Bush’s, helps big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but leaves families behind . While big oil and
insurance companies get billions in tax breaks, middle class families get little .
o McCain’s health care plan will raise costs and leave families at the mercy of areedv insurance companies . His plan is even more
radical than Bush’s - it does nothing for those without insurance and threatens the coverage of the 1 58 million Americans who
get health care through their jobs.
o Like Bush. McCain is committed to endless war in Iraq and has no plan to bring our troops home .
■ By a 58 to 39 margin, women believe the US should withdraw troops from Iraq within the year - and unmarried women feel
even more strongly, saying that troops should be withdrawn within the year 66 to 30 percent. [WVWV National
Women's Survey, 4/1 4/08]
McCain, like Bush, is ANTI-CHOICE and stands to lose pro-choice supporters. He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and
wants a Supreme Court with “clones of Alito and Roberts.”
o About half of the women who backed McCain in March were pro-choice. Half of the women surveyed in the poll also said they
didn’t know “enough about McCain’s views on abortion to say whether he is in step or out of step with their own outlook.”
[Peter Hart Research Associates for Planned Parenthood Action Fund , 3/1 8/08]
McCain opposed equal pay. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the passage of the Equal Fhy Act. McCain opposed the Ledbetter
Fair Pay Act, which would have made it easier for women and other workers to pursue pay discrimination claims .
LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, MCCAIN IS WEAK AMONG WOMEN:
McCain is losing women. Obama has support from 50 percent of women, McCain has support from only 44 percent. [Democracy
Corps . 6/3/08]
McCain is behind where Bush was with women in 2004. While Bush won 48 percent of women in 2004, McCain gets support from
only 44 percent. [Democracy Corps , 6/3/08]
Obama doesn’t have a problem with women. Obama has support from 50 percent of women, about the same as Kerry’s 51
percent. [Democracy Corps , 6/3/08]
Women are more likely to identify themselves as Democrats than Republicans. “This year, 44 percent of women have
identified themselves in polls by The New York Times or CBS News as Democrats, 26 percent as Republicans and 24 percent
independents.” [New York Times , 6/9/08]
ADDITIONAL POLLING INFO: CLINTON VOTERS MOVING TO OBAMA
Clinton Voters Moving to Back Obama
On June 3 in South Dakota's closed primary 61 percent of Clinton's voters said they'd vote for Obama in November, while only 16 percent said
they'd vote for McCain. In Montana, 59 percent of Clinton's voters said they would back Obama and 27 percent would vote for McCain.
[Salon , 6/3/08]
On May 7, among Clinton supporters in North Carolina only 45 percent said they would back Obama over McCain in November while 38
percent they would vote for McCain. In Indiana, a third of Clinton voters said they would pick McCain over Obama, and only 48 percent said
they would back Obama in the fall. [CNN , 5/7/08]
In March, 28 percent of Clinton supporters said they would vote for McCain if Obama got the nomination. [Gallup , 3/26/08]

...Just as Democrats Moved to Support Clinton in 1992
In February 1 992, just 63 percent of Democrats who supported other candidates said they'd vote for Clinton in the fall; 31 percent said they'd
vote for Bush. [ABC, “ The Numbers ,” 5/27/08]
In November 1 992, 77 percent of Democrats voted for Bill Clinton while only 1 0 percent voted for Bush. Perot won 1 3 percent. [Roper
Center , accessed 6/4/08]

Mr. Podesta:
It was a pleasant surprise to accidentally meet you once again on the 4 train this past Monday night. With this
sort of luck, maybe I should start playing Lotto. I hope I did not talk your ear off during our discussion of the
political developments in the disaster known as the Republican Primaries. If so, please accept my apologies.
As we discussed, I am still very eager to pursue an opportunity with DNCC. In reading political commentary by
David Brock and others, there seems to be an emphasis on developing a cadre of Hillaryites who could work
hard in different departments of the Democratic party, primarily to help implement her political vision for the party
and the country as a whole. With all due modesty, I believe that I am precisely the sort of person that Mrs Clinton
needs on the DNCC. I am relatively bright, skilled, politically engaged and a member of group that has been
historically underrepresented on the DNCC. I could certainly use your support in this effort.
Please advise as to possible next steps in this quest. Thanks once again for your help in this matter.

Anthony Bailey

I hope this e-mail finds you well. I apologise for calling you today while you were in a meeting. I was just
following up after our talk a week and a half ago. In that discussion, I mentioned an interest in joining the
DNCC to help out candidates who support the democratic ticket and you said you would look into the matter.
You told me to touch base with you in a week or so.
I know you are busy and have a very full slate but I hope you sense a strong desire in me to contribute and a
fervent wish to use my skills set for that purpose. In the spirit of being proactive, I looked at the DNCC website
and saw that there is a Marketing Compliance Associate position available. The position requires knowledge
of general compliance principles, specifically knowledge of FEC compliance rules along with other compliance
maintenance duties. I have reviewed the FEC Compliance rules and know that the FEC rules can be easily
learned. Given my general compliance knowledge and experience in the private sector, I believe that my
experience and skills would be easily transferable to this position. All I need is a solid recommendation to get
my resume seen apart from the general mill of resumes for such a position. If possible, I could use your help in
this regard.
I hope this does not sound arrogant but I do not believe in accidents. For some months, I have wanted to
contribute to the political fray at this crucial time in the body politic. I just did not see how I could do so. Then I
happened to bump into you on #4 train in August What were the chances of that? I am hopeful it was not for

win in this crucial, upcoming presidential year.
Re other matters, I am very pleased to see that the campaign has ultilised Majority Leader Macarthy's flub to
good use. With Macathy's speakership campaign flushed down the toilet, hopefully the Clinton campaign can
get that idiotic Benghazi Committee retired and the waste of tax payer money will soon end. Good hunting. I
only wish I could be helping you in some way.

making the program more effective.

It's more on Iowa's side of a pretty polarized debate, but the "more effective" bit gives us something to

Friend,
Do you know someone who wants to work on Governor Quinn’s
campaign? The Fall Organizing Fellowship might just be the perfect
fit.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get their start in
organizing, or for anyone looking to take their skills to the next level.
If this sounds like someone you know, pass this
application along -- or apply yourself.
The fellowship is a volunteer program, but Fellows will receive
professional training and hands-on experience in grassroots
organizing -- working 20 to 40 hours a week alongside some of the
best organizers in Illinois.
Our Summer Organizing Fellowship was a huge success, and we
can't wait to welcome our next class. They’ll be on the front lines of
this campaign, fighting for the people of our state.
This program is especially close to my heart, because I got my start
as an organizer through a fellowship just like it.
Joining a campaign was one of the best decisions I ever made. It
gave me access to opportunities I never imagined -- and it’s the
reason I’m on this team now.
The deadline to apply is August 20th, and space is filling up quickly.
If you know someone who might be interested, share this
application with them today:

for CONGRESS
Dear John,
I've made it my mission in Congress to stand up for working Americans and to defend the middle class. I've
never backed down from this challenge, and I won't allowed special interests to silence our voice.
When you make a stand for what's right - people take notice .
Roll Call named me one of "The 10 Most Vulnerable House Members" because millionaires, conservative
backers, and corporate interests are bankrolling my opponent's campaign. They know they can count on
him to stand up for THEIR interests, not OURS.
Last election, they poured millions against me, even creating a Super PAC that spent over half a million
dollars in misleading, slimy attack ads.
But I've got a secret weapon - something that no Super PAC or billionaire can buy. I've got supporters
like you .
You stood with me last election, and we won. Now, I need you to stand with me today.
Mike
P.S. I've seen time and time again that grassroots donors beat outside spending and dark money. We
know my opponent's right wing backers will spend whatever it takes to get this seat, that's why I need you
to chip in right now .

Dear Finance Committee Members,
When we started this campaign together in April, we set an ambitious goal of raising
$100 million in primary contributions by the end of the year. Thanks to your unwavering
commitment and incredible support, we're proud to share that H ill ary for America has
raised $112 million in primary contributions this year, including $37 million during the
fourth quarter!
This is a remarkable achievement that would not have been possible without your
leadership. It also reaffirms the broad and deep base of support for H ill ary from
hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country and abroad. And because of
your efforts, we can continue to build an organization that will mobilize millions of voters
in the early states and beyond to ensure that Hillary is our next President.
Additional details will be released when our FEC report is filed on January 31, but here
are a few highlights:
• H ill ary for America set a new record for the best off-year fundraising of any non-
incumbent in history
• 94% of Q4 donations were $100 or less
• More than 60% of donors for the year were women
On behalf of the entire Hillary for America team, we thank you and wish you
and your family a very Happy New Year.
Now onto the next quarter!

Data Debunks Claim That Hillary Clinton
Paid Women Less Than Men
The following post first appeared on FactCheck.org
The Republican National Committee chairman says Hillary Clinton paid women in her Senate office less
than men. But annual salary data provided by the Clinton campaign show median salaries for men and
women in Clinton’s office were virtually identical.
What gives? The answer may be unsatisfying, but it boils down to methodology.
RNC chairman Reince Priebus based his claim on a report by th eWashington Free Beacon of publicly
available expense reports submitted biannually to the secretary of the Senate. Looking at median salaries
among full-time, year-round employees, the Free Beacon concluded that women working in Clinton’s
Senate office were paid 72 cents for each dollar paid to men.
Pushing back against that analysis, the Clinton campaign provided FactCheck.org a list of the names, titles
and annual salaries of every full-time person employed in Clinton’s Senate office between 2002 and 2008.
Those data show the median salary for men and women to be the same at $40,000. The data also show
Clinton hired roughly twice as many women as men.
The Clinton list of salaries included full-time workers who may have worked only part of the year, or who
took brief unpaid leaves of absence. The Free Beacon list excluded anyone who did not work for an entire
fiscal year. Left off the Free Beacon list, for example, was a male assistant to the chief of staff earning a
salary of $35,000, because he took a two-week unpaid leave of absence to work on a House campaign.
“There are many different ways to measure these things and you will get slightly different answers,” Eileen
Patten, a research analyst at the Pew Research Center told us in a phone interview. “It’s not that either data
set is flawed. They just show different things.”
American Enterprise Institute scholar Norman Ornstein, who regularly sifts through disbursement reports
from the secretary of the Senate while doing research for the annual Vital Statistics on Congress report ,
said the data are difficult to use to track salaries because Senate staffers often toggle between Senate and
campaign work. That churn was particularly true on Clinton’s staff, he said, because she was running for
president in 2007 and 2008. For that reason, he believes the Clinton campaign methodology provides a
more accurate measure of her record on pay equity.

We take no position on which may be the superior methodology — as Patten told us, both have benefits and
tradeoffs. But we think it’s instructive to consider those benefits and tradeoffs.
Pay in Clinton’s Senate office figures to be an issue because Clinton has made pay inequality, and gender
discrimination, a focus of her campaign for president.
Priebus’ Attack
On the day Clinton formally announced her candidacy for president, Priebus went on CBS’ “Face the
Nation” and attacked Clinton on one of her signature causes — equal pay for women — claiming that she
paid women in her office less than men.
“[She] can’t have it both ways,” Priebus said. “She can’t pay women less in her Senate office and claim that
she is for equal pay.”
“We don’t know she did that,” host Bob Schieffer interrupted.
Said Priebus: “Well, the facts don’t bear that out, the facts show that she didn’t pay women an equal amount
of money in her Senate office.”
As we said, Priebus’ claim is based on an analysis by the Washington Free Beacon, which concluded that
women in Clinton’s Senate office were paid 72 cents for each dollar paid to men. Using publicly available
disbursement reports, the Free Beaconbased its conclusion on the median salary for men and women —
regardless of position — among employees who worked full-time for an entire fiscal year from 2002 to
2008.
“Salaries of employees who were not part of Clinton’s office for a full fiscal year were not included,” the Free
Beacon report states.
Using that methodology, the Free Beacon found the median annual salary for women working in Clinton’s
office was $40,791, and it was $56,500 for men. The Free Beaconreporter who prepared the report, Brent
Scher, declined to provide us with the raw data from his analysis to compare with the data from the Clinton
campaign. But he said the Free Beacon stands by its report and its methodology, and his methodology was
transparent enough to see how he arrived at his numbers.
The Clinton campaign doesn’t dispute the accuracy of the Free Beacon data, but it argues the data and
methodology lead to a misleading conclusion.
“The Free Beacon based their analysis off an incomplete, and therefore inaccurate set of numbers,” said
Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign. “The fact is, Hillary paid full-time men and women
equally.”
Schwerin provided FactCheck.org a list of the name, gender, title and annual salary of every full-time
person employed in Clinton’s Senate office between 2002 and 2008. Notably, the Clinton campaign’s
figures show the annual salaries of employees regardless of how long they worked in any given year. So if a
woman was hired at an annual salary of $50,000 but only worked part of the year (and therefore earned
some fraction of that $50,000), the Clinton data would include that salary in the women’s salary column.
The Free Beacon report would not have included that employee at all. The Clinton campaign data also
include employees who may have taken a brief leave of absence (sometimes to work for Clinton’s 2008
presidential campaign). Because they did not work the entire fiscal year, they were not included in the Free
Beaconreport.
Taking out Hillary Clinton’s salary — we didn’t think it was fair to include her since she didn’t hire herself —
the median annual salary for both men and women, regardless of how much of the year they worked, was
identical: $40,000.
(We spot checked dozens of the salaries provided by the Clinton campaign against the expense reports filed
with the secretary of the Senate. Direct comparisons were not possible because the Clinton salary data was
based on calendar years, while the public disbursement records are based on fiscal years. The annual
salary numbers also do not take into consideration any bonuses an employee might have earned. But pro-
rated for the amount of the year worked by the employee, the figures we checked generally matched up.)

The 77-Cent Figure
The Free Beacon notes that its methodology more closely mirrors the methodology used by the Census
Bureau to arrive at the oft-cited statistic that women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men in the
U.S. Like the Free Beacon, the Census Bureau only considered full time, year-round employees. And so,
the Free Beacon argues, Clinton leaves herself vulnerable to this kind of attack because she has, in the past,
repeatedly cited that same 77-cent figure.
For example, on Clinton’s Senate Web page just before she left the Senate (accessed via the Internet
Archive Wayback Machine), it stated, “More than forty years after the Equal Pay Act was signed into law by
President Kennedy, women still earn only $.76 cents for every dollar men earn for doing the same work.”
More recently, Clinton tweeted this last year:
@HillaryClinton, April 8, 2014: 20 years ago, women made 72 cents on the dollar to men. Today
it’s still just 77 cents. More work to do. #EqualPay #NoCeilings
We at FactCheck.org have been critical of this statistic in the past when it is portrayed as the pay
disparity “for doing the same work.” That’s not what it represents.
As we noted when Obama cited the statistic in a campaign ad, the Census Bureau figure is the median
(midpoint) for all women in all jobs, not for women doing “the same work” or even necessarily working the
same number of hours as men. In fact, women on average work fewer hours than men and are generally
under-represented in jobs that pay more. In other words, it is inaccurate to blame the entirety of that wage
gap on discrimination against women doing the same jobs as men for the same number of hours.
Furthermore, the raw gap for all women is not quite as large when looking at weekly earnings rather than
yearly earnings.
The Pew Research Center, for example, did estimates based on hourly earnings of both full- and part-time
workers and found that women earn 84 percent of what men earn. Why? According to Pew’s surveys,
women were more likely to take career interruptions to care for their family, which can hurt long-term
earnings. In addition, Pew noted, “women as a whole continue to work in lower-paying occupations than
men do.” And last, Pew noted “some part of the pay gap may also be due to gender discrimination.” Women
were nearly twice as likely as men to report that they had been discriminated against at work because of
their gender.
In a recent speech at the United Nations Conference on Women on March 10, Clinton did not cite the 77 -
cent figure, and she noted that in addition to fighting for equal pay for equal work, closing the pay gap will
require “encouraging more women to pursue [higher-paying] careers in science, technology, engineering
or mathematics” (about the 11:35 mark).
But the Clinton campaign isn’t arguing that the Free Beacon report is skewed because it is not a comparison
of similar-level positions. It says the data show there was no pay disparity in Clinton’s office when looking
at the median salaries of men and womenreparcZZess of job title. For that reason, we would caution that
neither methodology — neither the Free Beacon's nor the Clinton campaign’s — purports to compare the
salaries of men and women who were doing the same jobs.
Using the salary data supplied by the Clinton campaign, we looked at median and average salaries for men
and women in Clinton’s office year by year and found relatively minor differences. In five out of the seven
years, the median salaries were slightly lower for women without Clinton’s salary included. But when all the
years were combined, the median salary was $40,000 for both groups. The average salary — again, taking
out Clinton’s salary — was nearly identical, $50,398 for men and $49,336 for women. And again, Clinton
hired nearly twice as many women as men.
So what accounts for the difference between the two sets of findings? Is it just because one includes
employees who worked only part of the year (or had a leave of absence)? The example of 2008 is
instructive.

According to the 2008 salaries provided by the Clinton campaign — which, again, includes anyone who
even worked part of the year - the median salary for women was $39,500, while the median for men was
$43,ooo. That works out roughly to women making 92 cents for every dollar earned by men. (In other
years, it was the opposite — but as we noted earlier, the median for all seven years combined showed
median salaries to be the same.)
We then compared the annual salary data provided by the Clinton campaign with disbursement data
available from the secretary of the Senate for fiscal year 2008 (Oct. 1, 2007, to Sept. 30, 2008). That
doesn’t perfectly match up with the Clinton campaign’s calendar year figures, but it’s close.
Of the 44 women listed in the annual salary data provided by the campaign, 26 of them worked only a
portion of the year. And 10 of 24 men worked only part of the year. That means they either started or
ended their employment sometime during the fiscal year, or, as was often the case, they took unpaid leaves
of absence at some point during the fiscal year. Those would be the people not included in the Free
Beaconanalysis. If those part-year employees are excluded, the median gap widened to $42,500 for
women and $59,000 for men. That translates to women earning just 72 cents for every dollar earned by
men.
In other words, the Clinton campaign has a good point: Not counting those who worked only part of the
year results in a wider pay gap for women in Clinton’s office.
A comparison of both data sets shows that those who only worked part of the year represent a little over
half of the men and women who worked in Clinton’s Senate office that year. Among those who only worked
part of the fiscal year, and would not have counted in the Free Beacon analysis, the average and median
salaries were higher for women. The median annual salary for women who worked only part of the year was
$38,000, compared with $35,000 for men, our analysis of the Clinton salary database showed. The Clinton
campaign argues that including those who only worked part of the year makes more sense, because it
shows that women and men were offered comparable salaries.
Some Examples
The Clinton campaign also argues that any analysis ought to consider the salaries paid to Senate staffers
who also worked for any of Clinton’s three political entities: Hill PAC, Friends of Hillary or Hillary Clinton
for President. Often, employees were splitting their time between the Senate and political entities and
earning significant salaries from those campaign entities, sometimes more than their work for the Senate
office.
For example, Huma Abedin, Clinton’s longtime assistant/senior adviser, was making a modest salary in
Clinton’s Senate office ($14,000 in 2002 to $20,000 a year in 2008), but in the latter years of that time
period, she was making significantly more money working for Clinton’s political entities (Friends of Hillary,
Hill PAC and then the presidential campaign beginning in 2007 ). Public records filed with the Federal
Election Commission show in 2008 that she was paid a total of nearly $97,000 in wages from Friends of
Hillary, Hill PAC and Hillary Clinton for President.
Another employee, Sarah Gegenheimer, was being paid a $20,000 salary as deputy communications
director for Clinton’s Senate office in 2007, but she was also making $40,000 a year in the
communications office of the Democratic Leadership Offices — Office of Senate Majority Leader and Office
of the Democratic Whip, the Clinton campaign says. In addition, FEC records show she was paid another
$24,000 in wages for work provided to Hillary Clinton for President and Friends of Hillary.
In other words, both of those employees would have been counted in the Free Beacontally, and both were
paid less than the median in Clinton’s Senate office, even though their combined salaries were much higher
than the median.
On the other hand, Dan Schwerin, a system administrator/assistant to the chief of staff, was not counted in
the Free Beacon report, Scher said, because disbursement records show he was not on the payroll from
Nov. 2 to Nov. 15, 2007 — even though his salary for the first half of the fiscal year was $15,349 and
$20,333 for the second. The Clinton campaign said Schwerin took a brief unpaid leave of absence to help
out on a House campaign.

Ornstein said this kind of movement is typical in Senate offices, particularly if the senator is running for
reelection or higher office. Some full-time employees are permanently on the payroll year to year, but
others bounce back and forth. The better way to make pay comparisons, he said, would be to look at the
annual salaries adjusted for the amount of the year someone worked.
“You have to try to compare apples to apples and that is difficult to do, but there is more sense in the way
the Clinton people said to do this,” Ornstein said.
LegiStorm, a nonpartisan group that tracks congressional salaries, warns on its website that the
disbursement figures in the reports filed with the secretary of the Senate do not represent annual salary
figures. On its FAQ page , LegiStorm explains, “Because of fluctuations associated with things like holiday
bonuses or leaves of absence to work on political campaigns, annual salaries must be calculated with great
caution. Some staffers receive additional non-taxpayer-paid income for political work they perform in
their free time.”
According to the Hatch Act, federal employees like those in Clinton’s Senate office are prohibited from
engaging in partisan political activities while they are working on government time. However, as
the Congressional Research Service explains, the law allows “most federal employees to engage in a wide
range of voluntary, partisan political activities on their own off-duty time and away from the federal
workplace.” Indeed, as the New York Times noted in 2001, “Virtually every member of Congress enlists
government employees to do some campaign work.”
As the data show, heavy turnover in the office together with movement between Senate and campaign
staffs can make a big difference when comparing salaries in Clinton’s Senate office.

Sorry this took me so long to put together. This week has been nuts. Attached is a rough draft.
Let me know what you think. One issue I didn't resolve is how much we'd want her to still participate in
scheduling if she does the HQ job. I think it's helpful for her to participate in calls and meetings because
she's the institutional memory-and that's always invaluable.
At the same time, I don't want people confused about who is in charge (i.e. the scheduler needs to be in
command of that process). I think good management can solve for that, but was curious what you think.
Thanks for your help on this.

Thanks for a really great Board meeting. I wanted to follow up about one thing I reported and to remind/urge/plead that you keep

meant to be at all known. I should not have blurted it out. The person who told me believes he is the only person who knows and
is worried that this not leak— among other reasons because it is not completely decided.
You would hardly know I was a lawyer and a dean, both jobs that require a high degree of confidentiality, about which I was

Subject: Last night
Dear John,
What a weekend. The Senate has moved forward on the crucial health care bill and now
we're one step closer to bringing the real reforms Americans desperately need.
While the bill may not be perfect, we successfully eliminated the anti-choice language
found in the Stupak Amendment from the House of Representatives' version. This
legislation reforms the current system in dramatic ways. No longer will you have to worry
about your insurance being dropped because of a pre-existing condition and no longer
will you be denied preventative care.
I want to thank you so very much because the most important voice in this entire
process was yours. You stood up and demanded progress; you stood with us and
protected a woman's right to choose; as well as a public option; and you stood with us
and spoke up for our 47 million fellow Americans that are uninsured.
It is unconscionable that America could go another year with a broken health care
system. Too many American families have to make a heart-wrenching choice between
putting food on their table or paying their monthly health insurance bills.
After last night, we're on our way to real health care reform. The fight is not over, but we
have taken a significant step on the path to progress.
Sincerely,
Kirsten

About | Our Candidates
Dear John,
Today, we’re going up on the air in Indiana against a Tea
Party Senate candidate, at a total cost of $300,000, and
wanted you to see what we’re doing, and ask for your help.
SEE WHAT WE’RE UP TO IN INDIANA HERE
Our ad features Iraq and Afghanistan veteran from Indiana,
Sam Schultz, who takes on Tea Party favorite, Richard
Mourdock, for saying he didn't pledge to support every job
in Indiana, and suing to stop the Chrysler bailout - at a
time when veterans were desperate for jobs.
SEE OUR NEW AD, HERE
There’s just about a month until the election, but we have a lot of opportunities out there. But, it will take
money.
So, please, if you want to see us do this kind of work in other states, visit the link above, and donate what you
can, to keep it going!
Thanks for your support.

Economic transition

John,
It was good talking to you today. I'm attaching my template for the economic piece of the transition. This could obviously be
scaled up or down. The financial crisis part would need to be scaled up pretty quickly. Most of these people are actively involved
in the campaign or the Senate Office and all are outstanding.
One important issue we didn't discuss: Fed governors. They're desperately undermanned. My ideal would be if we could pick our
own candidates for President Bush to nominate. They could then be confirmed by the Senate in November and start immediately.
Christina Romer (or her husband David) would be excellent at the Fed. As would some of the NY financial people we discussed.
Although I haven't checked which districts are already represented to know if this is possible.
Finally, I think it is worth someone talking to Austan about his views on the personnel side, especially since he goes way back.
Does not need to be you, but Mike Froman or Jamie Rubin would be good.
Best,
Jason

Granholm - Energy Management Report.doc
John,
As we briefly discussed, in Michigan I have focused like a laser on replacing our dwindling manufacturing jobs with clean tech and renewable
energy jobs. I pushed through major energy legislation this year, fully restructuring our energy laws. We have now adopted an RPS and a robust
energy efficiency law, and a full array of new energy economic development tools. I am deploying an aggressive renewable energy business
recruitment strategy - in fact, I'm leaving for Israel next week on another jobs recruitment mission. I am determined to have our American auto
industry help to lead the way in distributed generation, American-grown battery technology, smart grid connectivity and jobs. With Michigan's
diverse natural resources (water, forests, wind, geology, and even waste) and because of our history with the auto industry, I know I could
blend experience, smart policy, political intelligence and good management on behalf of the Obama Administration.
I know the Secretary of Energy cabinet position is highly sought after, and I am certain the transition team has many terrific candidates.
I'd respectfully like to add my name to the list. If I can be of service, I would be an effective and loyal and deeply committed member of the team. I
don't have Carol Browner's contact information, but if she's the right person, I hope you can forward this email on to her. I am attaching some self-
serving clips and info about what we have been doing in Michigan on energy, and I have included some information about how I have been able to
manage what has been the most challenged state in the nation.
Finally, John, it should go without saying that I'm a happy camper no matter what happens. I am certain President Obama will need partners "on the
ground" in the states as well; I love my job and I will be happy to complete my second term as governor if DOE is not available.
I will not abuse this email, and I appreciate your confidential consideration.

OK. The grade does matter to me (clerkship applications, etc.), so I'll try to beef it up. If I don't quite make 20
pages of text, I'd ask for a little leeway, because I did include a number of textual footnotes, where the
substance broke up the flow too much above-the-line.

Dear Professor Podesta,
Sorry to bother you with a clerical question, but after I turned my paper in yesterday, I noticed that the
syllabus said "twenty pages excluding footnotes." All along I hadn't even considered the possibility that the
length would be counted as something other than text + footnotes.
My paper was 21 pages with footnotes, and now I've gone back to remove all of the footnotes, and it's about
16 pages of text. I think it's a strong paper, but if the length is a problem, I will spend the day adding to it
(assuming that I can even resubmit). What would you prefer?
Thanks, and sorry about the confusion,

John - I'll be blunt:
We’re in an awfully tough race. Almost every forecaster is calling our race a “TOSS UP” - many are even calling me the
underdog. Here’s where we stand:
• FIRST: Boehner launched a $1,750,000 smear campaign all across the Arizona airwaves.
• THEN: Today, my opponent, Andy Tobin, was promoted to the GOP’s elite “Young Guns” list.
• NOW: As of 2:30 pm, we’re still 234 online donations short before tomorrow’s critical ad buy deadline.

Camp Courage. Inspired by the "Camp Obama" trainings that powered neighbor-to-neighbor organizing across America in 2008, Camp Courage is
an intensive two-day training designed to teach the principles and skills of community organizing to activists working to restore marriage equality to
California. To date, Courage has held four Camp Courage events across the state - in Los Angeles, Fresno, San Diego and Oakland. Over 500
people have attended. The camps seed the development of local grassroots activist teams and networks, especially in communities of color and in
so-called "red" parts of California often overlooked by marriage equality activists. http://www.couragecampaign.org/CampCourage
Equality Teams: Organized by volunteers county-by-county, the Courage Campaign has mobilized 23 Equality Teams in 1 5 counties across
California. These teams are creating infrastructure to restore marriage equality to California, enabling community organizers to recruite a
grassroots army of marriage equality activists, identify undecided voters, and participate in coordinated statewide Courage Campaign events. In
the two months, Equality Teams have canvassed neighborhoods across California, recruiting scores of volunteers and conducting important
preliminary conversations with undecided voters. http://www.couragecampaign.org/EqualityTeams
COLORADO/ProgressNow Colorado:
Online and new media success with Angie Zapata trial the first successful prosecution of a hate crime for murder of a
transgender
In April, ProgressNow Colorado partnered with 50 progressive organizations including GLAAD and the Colorado ACLU to advocate for passage of
federal hate crimes legislation by organizing around the hate crimes trial of Angie Zapata's killer in rural Greeley, Colorado. Angie Zapata was
brutally beaten to death with a fire extinguisher because she was a transgender woman. The trial of Angie's killer marked the first time that
Colorado's recently-expanded hate crimes law was applied in a case with a transgender victim, and it was also the first time that any state's hate
crimes law resulted in the conviction of a transgender person's killer.
We placed full-page ads in four major-market daily newspapers and 1 9 regional weekly newspapers to raise awareness of Angie's murder and
the need for federal hate crimes legislation. We placed op-eds in papers around the state signed by opinion makers as diverse as a community
organizer in Denver to a Pueblo city D to Congressman Jared Polis and U.S. Senator Mark Udall. We brought in nationally-recognized blogger
Autumn Sandeen of Pam's House Blend to live-blog the trial from a transgender person's point of view. Her 975 updates on Twitter during the trial
kept the world informed moment-by-moment, and her personal interactions with reporters at the trial had a noticeable influence on the traditional
media coverage both locally and nationally.
Before the trial, ProgressNow Colorado's Jen Caltrider interviewed members of Angie Zapata's family and produced a poignant video that has been
watched over 1 7,000 times online and played on CBS Television's Logo network. We organized and advertised on Facebook, with 1 , 1 25,000
people seeing our message at least nine times each, and building a list of over 5,000 supporters in two weeks. We also advertised with Google
Adwords, with our message being shown over 1 3 million times and seen by over 2 million people. 25,000 people visited AngieZapata.com to learn
about federal hate crimes legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill with a large bipartisan majority two weeks ago, and the
U.S. Senate is poised to take up the legislation in the next few weeks.

FLORIDA/Progress Florida:
Working with NAACP and other progressive partners, Progress Florida distributed a letter among targeted members of the press from the Florida
NAACP to Gov. Crist regarding his next Supreme Court appointment and the need for diversity. After following up the letter distribution with phone
calls to contacts in the media, Progress Florida helped generate press for the NAACP on this critical issue. Working in coalition with Planned
Parenthood, ACLU, Equality Florida and the NAACP, we recently succeeded in helping convince Gov. Crist to appoint a more moderate minority
judge rather than the radical right wing jurist pushed by the NRA and Conservative Christian Coalition.
Progress Florida successfully drove continued media scrutiny and helped orchestrate a major public backlash that forced the resignation of House
Speaker Ray Sansom (R-Destin) after ethics violations and corruption were unearthed by the St. Petersburg Times.
Ourwww.SackSansom.com website was featured and staff quoted, in numerous newspapers , radio programs and political/news
blogs across the state. The public outcry led to a grand jury investigation and on April 1 7 th , Rep. Sansom was indicted on felony charges of
"official misconduct". The implications of this are much greater than one person, as the grand jury indictment has sent shockwaves throughout the
Florida capital and it calls for major reforms in the budget process.
MICHIGAN/Progress Michigan:
Progress Michigan's Lansing Can Do Better campaign targeted for defeat a proposal to build a new coal-fired power plant in the state's capital.
Through strong messaging, earned media and online organizing pressure was put on Lansing Board of Water and Light Commissioners and City
Council members. In less than a year, the utility's initially steadfast pro-coal position has eroded and they are now looking at clean energy
alternatives.
In our work with the Cure Michigan Campaign, the Embryonic Stem Cell Ballot Initiative, Ffogress Michigan was responsible for the online marketing
and grassroots support of the issue. Through our efforts on Facebook, Twitter, YouT ube and working with progressive bloggers across the state,
we were able to mobilize activists and supporters on an issue that we were not expected to win. It won 53-47 on the ballot. Pollsters and pundits
after the fact attributed much of that success to the online activism. This week the Cure Michigan Campaign was awarded 'Best in Show' by the
Central Michigan Public Relations Society of American (CMPRSA) for it's efforts in both traditional press outreach efforts as well as online outreach
and marketing. In the year since the creation of our Twitter feed, we now have over 644 followers, who we engage regularly and in turn often
retweet our calls to actions, blog posts, rapid responses out to their network, which has lead to spontaneous organic blog posts follows by
influential online activists and members of the media.
Progress Michigan worked with the America Votes table on the Obama Budget, and helped to organize, with the national support of Renew and
Rebuild America, a press event around the Obama Budget. We were able to bring together environmental organizations, health care organizations,
and labor organizations to call on Senator Stabenow to continue support for the Obama Budget. Progress Michigan took the lead on organizing the
press event, putting together press materials, and writing talking points, as well as reaching out to the press. We also put out an online take action
to call on members to write Senator Stabenow.
MINNESOTA/Alliance for a Better Minnesota:
Pre-Tea Party Blogger Briefing:
Before the national tea parties - several that were being held in Minnesota - on the evening of April 1 4 ABM shared with the progressive bloggers
in our state a memo we put together outlining the facts about the tea parties. The memo was titled "tea party primer" and was used extensively by
bloggers throughout the rest of the week to counter the news coverage put out by the right wing. In addition to ABMs news conference, this
groundwork gave the bloggers the tools and facts needed to smack down any untruths about the activities - and also forced several right wing
bloggers to spend the time talking about the tea parties defending their organizing, participants, etc - in other words, we got them off their
message.
Tea Party Pushback:
ABM took on the right wing on the day it's claimed as its own in Minnesota for more than 1 0 years - tax day. Building on the resources provided by
national groups, ABM held a news conference on tax day that garnered coverage from every tv, radio and newspaper outlet (and most online) in
direct response to the right-wing "tea party" concept. The coverage provided an argument for the things taxes pay for (services like teachers,
police and roads) as well as cast doubt on the organizing and real intent of the events. The result: their tea party looked more like a whiny brat
festival. ABM's response was used in several national meme's as well - and we started an online twitter fight that also got mainstream attention -
when we asked folks to tweet about the things they are thankful that taxes pay for.
NEVADA/ProgressNow Nevada:
ProgressNow Nevada partnered with Si Se Puede to plan, organize, promote and moderate a forum designed to raise awareness about different
types of immigration reform. The event was conducted in both Spanish and English and featured a wide variety of experts ranging from local
attorneys, Hispanic business owners, teachers, legal and undocumented immigrants and grassroots political organizers coming together to
discuss progressive immigration reform. This event generated significant Spanish media.
ProgressNow Nevada successfully completed an online petition campaign urging the governor to accept federal stimulus funds for unemployed
Nevadans. The governor had previously written to the president rejecting the funds. After the petition campaign, our press event and resulting
media coverage the governor changed his mind and agreed to accept hundreds of millions of dollars in unemployment benefit money. The majority

of Nevada's unemployed are lower-income service workers and ethnic minorities. ProgressNow Nevada led a coalition of non-profit social service
groups, many of which were quoted in news stories about pressuring the governor.
NEW HAMPSHIRE/Granite State Progress:
Granite State Progress has focused on helping partner organizations increase their online capacity, providing tools and language to increase online
participation. For example, Granite State Organizing Project wanted to participate in the Good Jobs petition action but wouldn't have been able to
collect many petitions in person on the four-day lead time. Using GSP's online tools, GSOP generated dozens of petitions from their membership in a
couple of days.
Progressive in New Hampshire were at a loss of how to handle President Obama's offer of a Cabinet position to Republican U.S.
Senator Judd Gregg, and the Democratic Governor's likely appointment.
Granite State Progress quickly presented the message frame that Gregg was refusing the hand of bipartisanship by dictating his successor, and
then built on that message when Gregg chose not to take the position. Appearing in all major political columns and regional TV news, GSP
successfully directed some of the attention away from Obama and Lynch's actions and focused in on criticism of Gregg's
NEW MEXICO/Clearly New Mexico:
Clearly New Mexico coordinated an all out pr blitz on pending legislative attacks on the nonprofit sector, working with over 30 organizations, a
dozen letter to the editor, three op-eds and a half a dozen radio shows, we also coordinated a radio ad and grassroots calls with 4 nonprofit allies
to kill a $400 million tax increment development district in the legislative session.
http://newmexicoindependent.com/22712/todays-blog-roundup-leprechauns-at-the-roundhouse-and-manny
Clearly New Mexico created over 200 news stories this year, leading to the first ever limit on contributions in New Mexico campaigns and
heightened awareness on the role of political contributions and pro-industry votes.

OHIO/Progress Ohio:
Health Care: As part of HCAN, national leaders needed a Senate champion of a public financing option for the pending Healthcare debate.
ProgressOhio was the direct HCAN conduit with Sen. Sherrod Brown's staff throughout the Fall of 2008 and Winter of 2009 to secure
his role as the "champion" in the Senate of a public insurance option. ProgressOhio committed and arranged a date for a rally in support
of the Senator with our partners in HCAN. Their was some concern about the date and time allotted - a Friday at 1 0:1 5 in the morning - but through
our online to offline work and collaboration with traditional organizing groups we delivered over 500 people to a rally where Sen. Brown publicly
committed his leadership to the public plan option.
Youth: Sweatfree came to ProgressOhio for help in obtaining an executive order eliminating state purchasing from sweatshops oversees that take
advantage of underage children. ProgressOhio launched a public relations program for them including a Shadows On High column, two press
conferences that got statewide play, and worked with a local High School Girl's Field Hockey team which requested their school send back their
uniforms and purchase others not made in Sweatshops. The result was an Executive Order by Governor Strickland changing State purchasing
policy.
PENNSYLVANIA/Keystone Progress:
Held 2 RootsCamps, training and networking over 200 activists across Pennsylvania, Created news service for progressive bloggers and other
new media. More than 75 participants who have placed hundreds of stories we forwarded to them from national and state partners. Assisted
partners in conducting news conferences and developing media campaigns. Also wrote news releases and contacted media for numerous
partners including SEIU BJ 32, ACORN, Sierra Club, Planned Pamethood Advocates, Equality Advocates, SEIU Healthcare PA, AFL-CIO, SEIU PA
State Council, Alliance of Retires Americans.
Built online network of 1 50,000, with over 40,000 active participants in first 8 months of existence. Created network of nearly 30 partner
organizations doing cooperative netroots organizing.
WASHINGTON/Fuse Washington:
Budget Crisis Communications Program: Earned Media and Progressive Coordination
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 2083
Fuse coordinated communications strategies and collaborative grassroots organizing for the progressive groups working on the State budget
crisis. As the only group who was not focused on protecting specific programs, we were in the best position to coordinate collaborative efforts
and promote cross-cutting themes. Our work directly generated ten TV news stories, over 60 radio news stories, and dozens more direct
(quoting Fuse) and indirect (other groups using our messages) news hits. This story from KIRO news is a good example: http://
www.kirotv.com/video/19055943/index.html
Veto Prevention Strategy: 2 days, 3 bills, 42 organizations, 2500 activists, 1 powerful message. After the Governor indicated she was
seriously considered vetoing three of the biggest progressive wins of the 2008 legislative session (including the conservation community's Toxic
Toys and Local Solutions bills), Fuse launched an urgent campaign to send the Governor a compelling message from progressives on ail three
bills. Fuse was the only group in Washington that had actually worked on all three bills.
Our two-day campaign recruited 40 of the leading progressive organizations in the state to cross issue lines and send a message to the Governor
urging her to stand with the people of Washington and sign all three bills. Dozens of labor unions and social justice groups weighed in on behalf of
the two conservation bills, while conservation groups supported a tax fairness bill. The message was reinforced by a letter from more than 2,500
progressive activists- over 50 single spaced pages of signatures. She signed all three into law.
WISCONSIN/One Wisconsin Now:
One Wisconsin Now led the pushback effort against the "teabaggers" in Wisconsin, generating and providing talking points for coalition partners
and leading the countermedia effort. OWN was featured in television, print and radio across the state, ensuring a progressive taxation message
was featured universally in stories about the teabagging events. OWN pushback included earned media at the main teabagging event at the state
capitol, press releases and follow-up opinion pieces in the state's largest newspapers.
The Institute created and executed a successful strategy to draw media attention and pressure on the state's chamber of commerce, Wisconsin
Manufacturers and Commerce, WMCWatch.org, which has spent millions of dollars on advertising and lobbying to promote a conservative policy
agenda. As result of the Institute's work at WMCWatch.org and media attention to its effort, WMC publicly-announced its decision to refrain from
continuing to run anti-progressive issue advertisements.
OWN developed the Wisconsin Research Project, a collaborative legislative and judicial research program that is creating a permanent in-state
progressive opposition issue research program. This program includes a research database which allows the categorization and organization of
information on a permanent basis - the goal being a lasting resource for the progressive movement to assist with issues polling and strategic
earned and paid media communications.

Jeb Bush eyes new role for his super PAC during 2016
campaign
DES MOINES, Iowa — Jeb Bush is preparing to embark on an experiment in presidential politics: delegating
many of the nuts-and-bolts tasks of seeking the White House to a separate political organization that can raise
unlimited amounts of campaign cash.
The concept, in development for months as the former Florida governor has raised tens of millions of dollars for his
Right to Rise super PAC. would endow that organization not just with advertising on Bush's behalf, but with many
of the duties typically conducted by a campaign.
Should Bush move ahead as his team intends, it is possible that for the first time a super PAC created to support a
single candidate would spend more than the candidate's campaign itself - at least through the primaries. Some of
Bush's donors believe that to be more than likely.
The architects of the plan believe the super PAC's ability to raise unlimited amounts of money legally outweighs its
primary disadvantage, that it cannot legally coordinate its actions with Bush or his would-be campaign staff.
"Nothing like this has been done before," said David Keating, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, which
opposes limits on campaign finance donations, "ft will take a high level of discipline to do it."

The exact design of the strategy remains fluid as Bush approaches an announcement of his intention to ran for the
Republican nomination in 2016. But at its center is the idea of placing Right to Rise in charge of the brunt of the
biggest expense of electing Bush: television advertising and direct mail.
• Jeb Bush headed on overseas trip in June
• Watchdog groups: Jeb Bush, others violating campaign finance laws
Right to Rise could also break into new areas for a candidate-specific super PAC, such as data gathering, highly
individualized online advertising and running phone banks. Also on the table, tasking the super PAC with crucial
campaign endgame strategies: the operation to get out the vote and efforts to maximize absentee and early voting on
Bush's behalf.
The campaign itself would still handle those things that require Bush's direct involvement, such as candidate travel. It
would still pay for advertising, conduct polling and collect voter data.
Bush's plans were described to The Associated Press by two Republicans and several Bush donors familiar with the
plan, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the former Florida governor has not yet announced his
candidacy.
Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said: "Any speculation on how a potential campaign would be structured, if he
were to move forward, is premature at this time."
The strategy aims to take maximum advantage of the new world of campaign finance created by a pair of 2010
Supreme Court decisions and counts on the Federal Election Commission to remain a passive regulator with little
willingness to confront those pushing the envelope of the law.
For Bush, the potential benefits are enormous. Campaigns can raise only $2,700 per donor for the primary and
$2,700 for the general election. But super PACs are able to raise unlimited cash from individuals , corporations and
groups such as labor unions.
The main limitation on super PACs is that they cannot coordinate their activities with a campaign. The risk for Bush is
that his super PAC will not have access to the candidate and his senior strategists to make pivotal decisions about
how to spend the massive amount of money it will take to win the Republican nomination and, if successful, secure the
270 electoral votes he will need to follow his father and brother into the White House.
Super PACs got their start in presidential politics when former aides to GOP nominee Mitt Romney set one up to
support him at the outset of the 2012 campaign. The group, called Restore Our Future, raised and spent more than
$142 million. By comparison, his formal campaign raised $446 mi llion.
The primary complication is the ban on coordination. For example, if the campaign decided to change its focus from
one issue to another, it could not share that decision with the super PAC.
One way Bush is already addressing the coordination ban is by frontloading his efforts inside Right to Rise. Because
he is not yet a candidate, he can now spend time raising money for the super PAC and take part in strategic campaign
planning under its auspices.
Critics also believe that coordination can take place surreptitiously, and such illegal activity isn't punished by an FEC
comprised of three Democratic and three Republican members unable to agree on most anything.

Former FEC commi s sioner Scott Thomas, a Democrat, doubts the Justice Department would ever look at such a
case because the FEC has been so precise in detailing what is allowed and what is not.
"You'd have to show a true smoking gun, showing the candidate controlling the campaign and the super PAC," said
Thomas, a lawyer now in private practice in Washington. He can't see campaign operatives being that clumsy: "It
would have to be a smoking gun left by someone who had the intelligence of an advanced fern."

houses of Congress, and completely writing off supporting Trump in the general election.
THIS IS AN ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK SITUATION!!
John, we've got to raise $10,000 in the next 24 hours if we want to stop the GOP from
DESTROYING our chance at a Democratic majority this year.

Subject: RE: CAP Think Tank Ranking
http://www.foreianpolicv.com/storv/cms.php7storv id=4598&paae=0
Actually, if you go thru ail the story, it is both better and worse than being top progressive, but 17th overall:
In the categorization, CAP is listed as one of the partisans: "These ideology-driven organizations generate the leading ideas on the right and left,
develop new political talent, and offer a home to out-of-power party leaders." But not in classses of policymakers, scholars, or activists.
CAP is noted as one of the best new think tanks (last 5 years): "Thanks to its all-star roster of experts and savvy use of new media, CAP has
emerged as the intellectual center of Democratic D.C."
But it is not listed in most impact on public debate or most innovative ideas (Brookings is listed in both categories).
Matt: thought you'd find the international listings of interest.

I just accidently ran accross this ranking of think-tanks. The good news: CAP is arguably the top-rated progressive think tank. The bad news: we're

It rained for about 48 hours straight earlier this week. When it finally stopped the smog was gone and we could
actually see the mountains behind our MRAP parking lot.
FYI, if you're interested in adding an MRAP to your fleet all you need to do is come here and pick one up- we're
giving them away ! Sure, they're gently used, but at $400k-$700k brand new can you really afford not to take one?
Just think of how useful it would have been on the East Coast this winter. And who knows, next year it might even
snow in Tahoe.
Love and miss you all.

Dear Caroline,
I hope that you are well and coping with the winter. You may have noticed that I am visiting DC on Friday the 7th.
I shall be giving a talk in the afternoon at USIP.
However if by any chance John Podesta had a few minutes it would be really good if I could see him. Usual topic
of how to deal with the Talibs. But I just got back from the region yesterday and so have some fresh feedback if
he is interested. Methinks Mr. Podesta does not get to meet anyone with the kind of access to the T's which I
have so I think he would find it useful.
Any suggestions on how to get to see him? Apart from the 3-4.30 meeting in USIP I am pretty flexible on Friday.
regards
Michael

Our economic recovery has been everywhere but in family paychecks for tens of millions of Americans.
Working Americans have a right to be frustrated because they see only a small portion of the country
riding the economy’s up escalator; more of us deserve to get on. Americans are working harder than
ever, more than ever, and earning less than they once did. The answer to closing this opportunity gap is
smaller government, lower taxes, and less government involvement so our innovators and our small
businesses can get operating again.

Cheryl asked me to think about a piece from HRC that could accompany the release of her tax returns. One
idea is to follow Jeb's example and use this as an opportunity to walk through her personal and professional
history ( https://jeb2016.com/news/my career through 33 years of tax returns?lang=en ). Another option,
which Jake and I find more attractive, would be to use this as a hook for driving a contrast message on tax
policy. I've taken a stab below at what that might look like. This could be a post on The Briefing or Facebook
or however we're planning to roll out the returns. If folks don't like this, I'd be happy to try the more personal
narrative instead.
Over the past few months, I’ve listened to Americans’ concerns about an economy that still seems
stacked for those at the top. Nowhere is this imbalance more apparent - or more problematic - than
in our tax code. It’s full of loopholes that allow the wealthiest Americans and most powerful
corporations to game the system and avoid paying their fair share. It shouldn’t be possible for a
highly-paid Wall Street trader to ever pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a nurse, but too often that’s
what happens. The current tax code also creates perverse incentives that discourage long-term
investments that would grow our economy and raise incomes for hard-working Americans.
I’ve made reforming our tax code to promote strong, fair, long-term growth a centerpiece of my
campaign, and I will continue detailing specific new ideas in the months ahead.
Today, I’m releasing my own family’s tax returns, on top of previous releases going back all the way to
1977. Since 2008, we have paid $38,648,195 in federal taxes - with an effective tax rate of 35.7% in
2014 - and donated $1 1,867,350 to charitable organizations. For those who remember Mitt Romney
paying just a 14.1% effective tax rate, our bill may seem surprisingly high. But the truth is, for people
who have been blessed with as much good fortune as Bill and I have been, it should probably be even
higher.
I believe tax reform should be guided by some simple principles.
First, hard-working middle class families and small businesses need and deserve tax relief and
simplification.
Second, those at the top have to pay their fair share. That’s why I have called for closing the carried
interest loophole, which lets wealthy financiers pay an artificially low rate, and implementing the
Buffett Rule, which makes sure millionaires don’t pay lower rates than their secretaries.
Third, the tax code shouldn’t reward companies for shipping jobs or profits overseas, or encourage
quick trades on Wall Street at the expense of long-term investments that create jobs and raise incomes

here at home. I’ve proposed raising short-term capital gains tax rates for those in the top bracket and
then going to a six-year sliding scale that will encourage longer-term investments.
We hear very different principles from the Republican candidates running for President. For example,
Jeb Bush would eliminate capital gains taxes for wealthy investors with no incentives for long-term
holding. Marco Rubio’s plan would cut taxes for households making [around $3 million] a year by
[almost $240,000] - more than three times the earnings of a typical family. That’s a budget-busting
give-away to the super-wealthy and the sort of bad economics you’re likely to get from any of the
Republican candidates.
Families like mine that reap so many of the rewards from our economy have a responsibility to pay
our fair share. And it’s not just the right thing to do — it’s also good for growth. To create jobs and
raise incomes, our country needs resources to make big investments in infrastructure, innovation,
clean energy, and education. That’s vital if we’re going to make the economy work for everyone, not
just those already at the top.
I believe that we all have to do our part to renew the basic bargain of America: If you work hard and do
your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. And when you get ahead, America gets ahead
too.

Friend,
The billionaire Koch brothers are back to bail out Bruce Rauner --
with television ads, online ads, and direct mail attacking Governor
Quinn.
Voting starts on Monday, which means that undecided voters are
making up their minds about who to support as we speak. That's
why the Koch brothers are moving in right now.
It’s up to us make sure voters don’t fall for it.
Chip in $5 or more now to counter the Koch brother's

The Koch brothers are the masters of "dark money" -- unlimited
contributions to conservative candidates in close races across the
country.
They believe that the very wealthy should have more influence on
politics, and Bruce Rauner is their guy.
The Governor may not have billionaires like the Kochs on his side,
but he believes in the power of people like you, pitching in what they
can, when they can.
Let’s prove him right -- chip in $5 or more right now:

responsibility paved the way for this executive action, which follows established precedent from Presidents of
both parties going back 70 years. But, only Congress can finish the job by passing permanent bipartisan reform
that keeps families together, treats everyone with dignity and compassion, upholds the rule of law, protects our
border and national security, and brings millions of hard-working people out of the shadows and into the formal
economy so they can pay taxes and contribute to our nation's prosperity. Our disagreements on this important
issue may grow heated at times, but I am confident that people of good will and good faith can yet find common
ground. We should never forget that we’re not discussing abstract statistics - we’re talking about real families
with real experiences. We’re talking about parents lying awake at night afraid of a knock on the door that could
tear their families apart, people who love this country, work hard, and want nothing more than a chance to
contribute to the community and build better lives for themselves and their children.

Subject: RE: Visit to Puerto Rico, Next Steps
Two points I would push them on:
1) If all they are going to do is prepare a report, I am not sure that gets us anything. PRPPA is fighting hard
against any change at the moment and a report doesn't move the ball forward. They need to use the report as a
tool to generate a call for action on some concrete steps, like a law requiring PRPPA to meet specific targets
with a timeline for the conversion to renewables. They talk about some pretty specific goals but process of
making them happen is critical and its not clear from the memo how that will occur. The key challenge they face
is not figuring out what they need to do but figuring out how to get it done.
2) The Culebra idea is interesting. In the past the previous Governor has called for making Vieques energy
independent. Working on these two islands is something the foundation might want to explore as a joint project
with the Government and PRPPA. Because of WJC's history with Vieques, it also gives us a hook. This would
require a meeting between someone with the Foundation, PRPPA and the Governor. Don't know if they would
agree but would be big if they did and would show the rest of PR that it can be done. PRPPA may have a
lobbyist in DC and it might be easier to make the deal up here than down there where everything is so polarized.

Subject: [big campaign] McCain Has Rejected Goldwater Legacy, Says Granddaughter
Big hat tip to Leighton at BraveNewFilms who connected us with Alison (after she randomly left a comment on
BNF's site)...
http://www.huffinatonpost.com/2008/05/27/aoldwaters-aranddauahter n 1 03725.html
McCain Has Rejected Goldwater Legacy. Says
Granddaughter
John McCain is prone to tout himself as a "Goldwater Republican," the inheritor of a party and ideology that his
Senate predecessor from Arizona, Barry Goldwater, helped shape decades ago.
But Goldwater's own family members say that, if the family patriarch were alive today, he would be sour on
McCain and shudder at the kind of conservatism that the current GOP nominee is proposing.
"I don't know if he would recognize the Republican Party today," Alison Goldwater Ross, a registered Democrat
and granddaughter of the 1964 GOP presidential candidate, told The Huffington Post. "I'm sure if we were to
raise his ashes from the Colorado River... he would be going, 'What? This is not my vision. This is not my party.'"
Such bewilderment, Ross offered, would extend to McCain, the man who took over Goldwater's seat in the
Senate in 1987 and currently is the GOP standard-bearer. The two Arizonans clashed on several occasions
during their political careers. Goldwater, as documented in "Pure Goldwater." a book by the Senator's son
Barry Jr., was depressed and angered by McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal. Later in his career,
a rift developed between the two after McCain used Goldwater's name -- without his permission -- for
fundraising purposes.
"My grandfather felt that he was deceived by McCain," she said. "Because he looked at McCain and said, here
was this young guy who has a lot of potential in the Republican Party, who is coming through the ranks, and
then he pulled something like this. My grandfather had to ask, 'Is this something I want to be close to?"'
That Goldwater's grandchild says McCain doesn't represent her grandfather's political tradition is not an
insignificant revelation. McCain has, in the past, acknowledged a deep desire to impress the elder Goldwater
and continue his conservative legacy. In his memoir, "Worth the Fighting For." McCain said of his
predecessor: "I admired him to the point of reverence, and I wanted him to like me.... He was usually cordial, just
never as affectionate as I would have liked."
And on several occasions, McCain has deliberately taken steps to position himself as the inheritor of the
Goldwater revolution. In the final speech of his "biography tour," McCain traveled to the historic Yavapai
County Courthouse, a location where Goldwater started all his bids for office.
The reality, some observers claim, is that McCain and Goldwater are two contrasting breeds of Republicans.
Ideologically, Matt Welch writes in "McCain: The Myth of a Maverick," the two have a fundamentally different
idea about the role and scope of the federal government. But, on a broader level, the Republican Party as a
whole has shifter drastically away from Goldwater's vision.
"I think, at the end of my grandfather's career, first of all he would be looking at what state we are in today with
what Bush has done, and I think he would be just incredibly appalled," said Ross. "I think his head would be
spinning. How in the world did we get ourselves in this state? How did this happen? What went wrong? Where
did this Republican Party go?"
On the issues of Iraq, women's rights, and the separation of church in state, Goldwater's granddaughter says
the gulf between Barry and McCain is vast.
"I don't think my grandfather would ever pander to the religious right like McCain did. That would get him angrier

than anything. He believed in the division between church and state, he fought that constantly. And these guys
are getting in there... religion is a wonderful thing but it does not have any place or purpose in politics," she said.
"My grandfather was for women's rights. The idea that my body is mine, and what I want to do with it, I will do
with it... McCain isn't of that mindset."
So, whom would Goldwater support if he were alive today? Ross, whose dissatisfaction with McCain was first
expressed on the website of BraveNewFilms . wouldn't say. But she herself is "leaning towards" Sen. Barack
Obama, despite believing that Sen. Hillary Clinton has gotten the short end of the stick in terms of press
treatment because of her gender.
"Hillary, you know, was a Goldwater girl. And she has this great tenacity," Ross said. "Unfortunately, she has
been directed in some ways that haven't really worked for her campaign... I really like what Obama is
representing. I like the fact that if he becomes our next president, the walls will come down; people around the
world will view the U.S. as a more enlightened, open-minded country. It will be, overall, an extremely positive
mood."

New TV Ad from Americans United for Change Challenges the Party of NO to Support
Obama’s Plan for Creating Millions of Clean Energy Jobs
Click Here to View “Jobs of the Future”
****See Early Media Coverage Below***
Washington D.C. - Americans United for Change unveiled a new television ad today that invokes images of President John F. Kennedy
and compares his challenge of putting a man on the moon that led to the technological jobs of the future to President Obama’s challenge to create
millions of new clean energy jobs for our generation. The ad called “Jobs of the Future” will air on DC cable this week as the U.S. House Energy
and Commerce Committee continues work on “The American Clean Energy and Security Act.”
Tom McMahon, Acting Executive Director, Americans United for Change: “Congress is acting quickly to meet President Obama’s
challenge for a clean energy future with transformational legislation that will wean our nation off its dependence foreign oil, dramatically curb pollution
that causes global warming, save American consumers hundreds of billions of dollars in energy costs - all while creating millions of new clean
energy jobs. When the time comes, will the Republican Party of NO join with President Obama in his historic effort to grow our economy, improve
our energy security, and create millions of green jobs - or will they continue to look out for big oil’s bottom line?”

Obama Ad Compares President To JFK. Lumps GOP With Oil Companies
First Posted: 05-19-09 02:22 PM | Updated: 05-19-09 02:37 PM
The Democratic advocacy group Americans United for Change is releasing a new ad comparing the president's economic
policies to John F. Kennedy's Apollo project and lumping Republicans alongside "oil companies" in the opposition.
Titled "Jobs of the Future," the spot will begin airing on D.C. cable starting on Wednesday and throughout the week.
"Fifty years ago, a young President challenged us to put a man on the moon. John Kennedy's vision put America in the
forefront of the technological revolution that created the jobs of the future — for a generation Americans," reads the script.
"Today President Obama has challenged us again — to create the jobs of the future for our generation — millions of clean
energy jobs. But the oil companies and the Republicans just say no."
The ad comes roughly a week after several media outlets reported that Obama's stimulus package was not being
implemented in an expeditious manner, and as Congress currently debates a climate change bill that proponents say would
create "millions" of new green jobs.
Two key Democrats in the House — Reps. John Dingell of Michigan and Gene Green of Texas — have signaled support
for the legislation, increasing its odds of passage. But Republican opposition won't be light.
"When the time comes," said Jeremy Funk, the communications director at Americans United for Change, "will the Party of
NO help President Obama create millions of green jobs — or keep looking out for big oil's bottom line?"

Liberal group slams Republicans on energy bill

Trying to counter Republican opposition to sweeping climate change legislation moving through Congress, a
liberal-labor coalition is calling them obstructionists tied to Big Oil.
Americans United for Change, in a TV ad that is to begin airing Wednesday in Washington, in contrast compares
President Obama to another young, ambitious Democrat.

"Today President Obama has challenged us again - to create the jobs of the future for our generation - millions of
clean energy jobs. But the oil companies and the Republicans just say no. There have always been those who said
no to progress. But America has never taken no for an answer."
The spot ends with a plea to call Congress to urge passage of the bill, which supporters say will create clean energy
jobs and reduce carbon emissions.
The ad is the latest in a series trying to paint Republicans as the "party of no" — opposing Obama's agenda, but bereft
of any ideas of their own.
Republicans say the cap-and-trade global warming bill would mean huge energy tax increases — the last thing the
economy needs during a recession.

VIDEO: AUC compares Obama to JFK
@ 2:13 pm by Jeremy P. Jacobs
Americans United for Change is going up with another TV advertisement on Wednesday promoting President Obama's plans for job creation and
hitting Republicans for their opposition.
The ad draws parallels between Obama and President John Kennedy.
"Fifty years ago a young President challenged us to put a man on the moon," the narrator says. "John Kennedy's vision put America in the forefront of
the technological revolution that created the jobs of the future — for a generation Americans.
"Today President Obama has challenged us again - to create the jobs of the future for our generation - millions of clean energy jobs."
And, as it has in the past, the group labels the GOP as the "party of no.”
"But the oil companies and the Republicans just say no," it says.
The ad is going on D.C. cable on Tuesday and will run through the end of the week, so not a particularly large ad buy. Check it out below:

Subject: He's not backing down
John,
On Monday, I asked you to help Sen. Claire McCaskill defeat Tea Party challenger Congressman Todd Akin --
whose reprehensible anti-woman remarks showed his true colors. The response has been incredible.
But Akin’s not backing down. He’s vowed to stay in the race and already launched a TV ad defending his
position.
Claire needs your help - right now - if she’s going to win in November. We cannot wait.
Contribute to Claire’s campaign right now. There’s no better way to take a stand against Akin’s
harmful and dangerous brand of politics.
Akin may have issued an apology but his policies reveal the truth - he’s authored legislation outlawing abortion,
even in cases of rape and incest.
It clarifies yet again why it is so important we have women in Washington playing a key role in decisions that
affect our health and our bodies. You can help that cause by sending Claire back to the Senate and preserving
our Democratic majority. Click here to give.
I can’t thank you enough for all that you do.
Kirsten

Subject: "legitimate rape"
Dear Friend,
In all my years of public service, I’ve heard a lot of shocking remarks on the campaign trail. But yesterday’s
appalling comment by Tea Party senatorial candidate Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri took things to a whole new
level.
“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” he said, defending his
absolute opposition to abortion, even in cases of rape.
This from someone who’s tied with Senator Claire McCaskill in the polls, from someone who could tip the
balance of power in the Republicans’ favor.
We can’t let Akin win. We need to help Claire, who’s been a strong progressive voice in the Senate on behalf of
women’s rights.
Give to Claire McCaskill’s campaign today and help make sure Akin and his abhorrent views don’t reach the
Senate.
Click here to make your donation to Claire’s campaign right now. It’s the best way to express
your outrage about Akin’s remark and ensure the Democrats keep our Senate majority.
Akin’s comment is not just profoundly insensitive to all victims of rape, it shows an astounding ignorance about

the workings of the human body. It’s hard to believe that he is actually a member of the House Science
Committee!
But we’ve come to see how some right-wing Republicans will invent all sorts of unfounded, far-fetched theories
to support their ultraconservative ideological beliefs.
It’s up to us to make sure Claire has the resources she needs to beat Akin and help us protect the critical
Democratic majority in the Senate.
Give to the McCaskill for Senate campaign as soon as you can and make your voice heard.
Even just $5 will make a real difference in this extremely tight race.
I believe this could be a real turning point in the Missouri race and in our overall effort to keep control of the
Senate. Let’s be sure to take advantage of this moment as best we can.
Thanks for your generous support,
Kirsten

Hillary,
I’ve been thinking about this a lot since our last foreign policy meeting. I’m worried that the hostility toward
Obama among donors who buy Bibi’s line about his commitment to Israel could cause you to run away from his
(and your) overall foreign policy record, which would be a big mistake in the same way that it will squeeze you
into a corner that you do not need to be in and prevents you from making a bold case for your success as
Secretary of State.
Let’s assume a deal with Iran gets done. Then, as I write here, http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/
obama-foreign-policy-record-by-anne-marie-slaughter-20 15-04 . Obama will have a foreign policy legacy to be
proud of — doing exactly what he said he would do when he came in by opening up relations with Myanmar,
Cuba, and Iran and thereby helping to to transform US relations with three distinct regions. These are diplomatic
achievements rather than military, and economic as much as political. George W. Bush isolated us in the world;
Barack Obama reconnected us in ways that allow us to advance peace and prosperity, etc. There’s still a gaping
hole in terms of your kind of leadership, but he kept his eyes on the prize and did things that mattered. And you
did one of those with him (Myanmar) and laid the indispensable groundwork for the other two.
Finally, the entire “Obama doesn’t care about Israel” narrative shifts attention from the real issue with Israel,
which is that this government is missing one of the greatest opportunities in Israel’s history to move from pariah
state to political broker and economic anchor of the Middle East. I made that case in a few short paragraphs in
the New York Times Up for Debate (reprinted below) yesterday; Fareed’s column this week makes almost
exactly the same case. It’s not even about what is right for the Palestinians; it is about what Israel could be and
do if it could just move to the next phase of its history rather than remaining mired in insecurity and hostility of its
past.
This didn’t seem like Mother’s Day reading, so wanted to get it off today!
Best,
AM
Israel’s Rightward Shift Helps Make It Its Own
Worst Enemy

It is a difficult and immensely frustrating time to be a friend of Israel. Never in Israel’s history would peace with
the Palestinians yield such rich and enduring dividends, and never since the peace process began has the
10/18/2016

Page 2169
Israeli government been so resolutely opposed even to serious negotiations.
Real peace could allow Israel to form political, military and economic alliances to make it a regional power broker
and let Palestinians thrive.
The center of the Middle East - Iraq and Syria - is disintegrating, mixing virulent and horrifically violent religious
fanaticism with civil war and criminal and corrupt governments. But that conflagration has created a new set of
actual and potential alignments. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States are openly willing to work closely with Israel -
against Assad, and in the Saudi case, against Iran. But Turkey and Iran would be willing to work with Israel -
drawing on its superlative intelligence and military capabilities - against ISIS. And Egypt under President Abdel
Fattah el-Sisi is once again willing to work with Israel against Hamas.
With a Palestinian peace that included normalizing relations with all Arab countries, as the Arab Peace Initiative
of 2002 and 2007 proposed, Israel could move from pariah state to power broker overnight.
On the economic front, the opportunities are even greater. An Israeli-Palestinian peace would lay the
groundwork for Ispajor (an economic union of Israel, Palestine and Jordan), the Middle East equivalent to
Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). It’s hard for us to remember now, but Benelux was
created as a customs union in 1944, when World War II was still raging and the entire European economy was in
a shambles. It became the nucleus for the entire European Union.
Israel and Palestine have the strongest tech economies in the region; a peace that would allow Israeli economic
growth to extend to Palestine would then create opportunities for Jordan to join and turn its current divide
between Palestinian Jordanians and native Jordanians into an advantage. Investors worldwide would flock to a
stable and relatively well-governed bright spot in the region, with oil and gas resources, a port on the
Mediterranean and highly educated Israelis and Arabs. It seems like a mirage today, but with an Israeli-
Palestinian peace it would become a logical next step.
Abba Eban, the great Israeli diplomat and author with a flair for epigrams, is supposed to have said, after the
Geneva Peace Conference in 1973: “The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Today it is
the Israeli government that never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
But Eban also said: “History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other
alternatives.” Let us hope that the current Israeli government is the last alternative Israelis exhaust before they
finally realize the tremendous opportunity of peace - if it is not too late.

Erskine,
Hope you're doing well. Things are going well in St. Louis. Erin is here, as you probably know, and it is good for her to have
gotten out of the craziness and we found a much better situation for her husband than he had in NC. We're having a good
time and everyone thinks we're remarkably calm whenever there is a (minor) problem. Tough time in the city, but we are
doing what we can to try to help. Budget looks pretty reasonable as we had a good year in the market and academic
medicine is just roaring right now. Emma and John are here and my mother is coming on Tuesday for our first Christmas in
the heartland of America. We miss everyone back home, but are grateful for how it all came out, and I can't thank you
enough for your help.
Some of the hard-charging, brilliant students at WU have figured out that you and I worked together and want me to help
connect them with folks in the Clinton camp for jobs in the campaign. I don't want to bombard you with their resumes. Is
there a good person for me to send them to?
Love to all the Bowles. Hope it's a merry Christmas. Thanks, Pal.

Defeat ISIS

These past few days, all of us have tried to make sense of yet another
senseless terrorist attack. I know that Americans are anxious and fearful, and
we have reason to be. The threat is real. The need for action is urgent.
Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies will continue learning about
what led to the massacre in San Bernardino just as French and Belgian
authorities are doing so in Paris and Brussels. But this much we do know:
The threat from radical jihadism has metastasized and become more complex
and challenging. We’re seeing the results of radicalization not just in far-off
lands but right here at home fueled by the internet. It’s the nexus of terrorism
and technology, and we have a lot of work to do to end it.
As hard as this is, Americans now have to move from fear to resolve.
America has beaten bigger threats before, and we will defeat this one as well.
Resolve means depriving jihadists of virtual territory just as we work to deprive
them of actual territory. They are using websites, social media, chat rooms,
and other platforms to celebrate beheadings, recruit future terrorists, and call
for attacks. We should work with host companies to shut them down. It’s time
for an urgent dialogue between the government, and not just our government
- government and the high-tech community to confront this problem together.
Resolve means supporting also our first responders, like the officer in San
Bernardino who said he would take a bullet for the civilians he was rescuing.
We owe them our support and gratitude and whatever help they need. Local
law enforcement should get the support, training, and coordination they need
in their communities from counterterrorism experts in Washington. It also
means taking a close look at safeguards in visa programs and working more
effectively with our European allies on intelligence and information sharing.
And yes, Congress must act to ensure that no one who is a suspected
terrorist can buy guns anywhere in America.
Resolve means going after the threat at its source in Iraq and Syria and
beyond. Our goal must not be to deter or contain ISIS; our goal must be to
defeat ISIS. And I have put forth a three-prong plan to do that.
First, deny ISIS territory in Iraq and Syria by leading an intensified air
campaign and working with local and regional forces on the ground. Second,
dismantle the global infrastructure of terror, the networks that supply radical
jihadists with money, weapons, and fighters, and stop them from recruiting

and inspiring. And third, toughen our defenses at home and those of our
partners against external and homegrown threats.
An effective fight on the ground against ISIS is essential, but that does not
mean deploying tens of thousands of American combat troops.
It does mean stepping up efforts to get more Arabs and Kurdish fighters into
the fight against ISIS on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border, supporting the
Iraqi Security Forces while pressuring Baghdad to pursue a more inclusive and
effective approach, and immediately deploying the Special Operations Forces
that President Obama has already authorized with more to follow as more
Syrians get into the fight. We also have to demand that our Arab and Turkish
partners carry their share of the burden with military, financial, and diplomatic
contributions. We will do our part, but it’s their fight too, and they need to act
like it is.
Dealing with the conflict in Syria with respect to Assad is central to this whole
effort. We need to continue Secretary Kerry’s efforts to move toward a
diplomatic solution to the civil war in Syria that paves the way for new
leadership and enables Syrians from every community to take on ISIS.
Investing the Russians in this outcome and getting them to step up and do
their part will be difficult but essential. And we have to pursue a transition
away from Assad and an intensified fight against ISIS simultaneously. We’re
not going to get Syrian opposition forces to fight ISIS in earnest without the
credible prospect of a transition, and that’s going to take more pressure and
leverage. It’s one of the reasons why I have proposed creating a no-fly zone
as well as safe havens and more robust support for opposition forces.
And finally, it’s crucial that we embed our mission to defeat ISIS within a
broader struggle against radical jihadism.
Extremist groups like ISIS feed off instability and conflict, and there is no
shortage of that in the Middle East today. Decades of repression, poverty,
corruption, a lack of pluralism and tolerance turn the region into a powder
keg. That’s why we have to keep working with our friends and partners to
support economic and political modernization; train effective and accountable
local intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism services. And once
and for all, the Saudis, the Qataris, the Kuwaitis, and others must stop their
citizens from funding extremist organizations and stop supporting radical
schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people
on a path toward extremism.

So across the board, we must act with courage and clarity. And it’s important
to remind ourselves that Islam itself is not our adversary. This is not and we
should not let it become a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between hate and
hope -- and the vast majority of Muslims are on our side of the battle unless
we drive them away. We can’t buy into the very narrative that radical jihadists
use to recruit new followers or alienate partners we want and need at home
and abroad with reckless rhetoric. Declaring war on Islam or demonizing the
Muslim American community is not only counter to our values; it plays right
into the hands of terrorists.
Muslim Americans are our neighbors, our co-workers, loved ones, friends.
Many are working every day all over our country to prevent radicalization. We
should be supporting them, not scapegoating them. But, at the same time,
none of us can close our eyes to the fact that we do face enemies who use
Islam to justify slaughtering innocent people. We have to stop them and we
will. Radical jihadists, like so many adversaries in our history, underestimate
the strength of our national character. Americans will not cower or cave, and
we will not turn on each other or turn on our principles. We will defeat those
who threaten us. We will keep our country safe and strong, free and tolerant.

HuffPost: The Obama Test: Personnel is Policy
By Thomas B. Edsall
Forget the election. With November 4 just days away and Barack Obama positioned to become the nation's first African
American president, the question has begun to turn to: Who gets what?
Does former South Dakota Senator and Majority Leader Tom Daschle have the inside track to become the White House chief
of staff (COS), or maybe William Daley, Secretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration?
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe could seek the COS post himself, and he has a lot of chits outstanding. Sources
say John Podesta, a former COS to President Clinton and head of Obama's transition team, has indicated he does not want to
go back to the same job, but some think he could change his mind if pressed.
If Obama wants to pick a close personal friend and trusted adviser for the job, he may look to Valerie Jarrett, an African
American mover-and-shalcer in Chicago who, in 1991 while deputy chief of staff to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, hired
Michelle Robinson, Obama's wife-to-be.
The Chief of Staff choice may prove to be one of the most important Obama makes at a time when the country faces a
severe economic crisis, and when newly enlarged Democratic majorities in the House and Senate will be pressing for
approval of their special projects after eight years in the wilderness. President Clinton, who took office after 12 years of
Republican administrations, picked a weak manager as his first chief of staff, Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty III, and many
believe the choice contributed to Clinton's problematic first two years in office.
It's widely agreed that John Kerry would give up his Senate seat if offered Secretary of State, but does Obama want him?
Kerry is keenly watching at least two potential competitors, Greg Craig, a top Obama foreign policy adviser, and Indiana
Republican Senator Richard Lugar, who would bring bipartisanship to the Cabinet. Would Kerry take UN Ambassador?
Richard Holbrooke is a possible, but not likely, choice at State, given the view inside the Obama camp that Holbrooke lost his
shot in trying to persuade foreign policy types to sign up with Hillary instead of the Illinois Senator.
One source raised the question: "Is there a role for Tony Lalce?"Lake put the Obama foreign policy team together but has said
that his job ends on November 4, and that he wants nothing. Could Obama make him an offer — like CIA director — that he
can't refuse? Lake was willing to take the job under Clinton, but withdrew in the face of Republican opposition in the Senate.
Lake might also be tempted by the UN job, "although he has a second marriage and young kids."
Craig, Susan Rice, Samantha Power and a number of others are considered likely candidates for National Security Adviser.
10/18/2016

Page 2186
Craig and Rice have been speculated about for the UN.
Within days of winning, Obama is expected to announce his economic team. One theory is that he will try to calm the
markets by appointing Larry Summers at Treasury, and Laura Tyson as his number two. Summers has a brilliant academic
record and relevant experience, but he also has enemies, especially among women angered by his comments about female
under-representation at the top levels of research science. Obama is known to be looking closely at Timothy F. Geithner, the
respected president of the New York Fed, as another possibility for Treasury.
Obama has indicated that he will consider reappointing Flenry Paulson at Treasury, but Paulson's performance has not been
receiving high grades lately, diminishing this possibility.
The appointments Obama makes are not only the blood and guts of Washington gossip, but, more importantly, they are clear
signals of the direction the new administration will take, reflecting the accuracy of the observation that "personnel is policy."
For the Washington lobbying and special interest group community, appointments are crucial, determining success, access,
and business.
A key test will be Secretary of Defense. Obama has indicated he is considering keeping Bush appointee Robert Gates. Such a
move could signal that the new president wants Republican cover for a relatively quick troop withdrawal, or that he is
acceding to pressure from generals on the ground to go slow on the promised pull-out. There are others on the Defense list,
including Nebraska Republican Senator Chuck Flagel who would lend a bipartisan aura, and Thomas Pickering, a career
foreign service officer who became Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs during the Clinton administration.
Pickering, in the view of some Obama watchers, is a man of parts who, after making good money working for Boeing,
could take over at the CIA, the National Security Agency, or become Director of National Intelligence.
Another man mentioned as a potential candidate in the Defense-National Security orbit is Richard Danzig, who served as
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower, Reserve Affairs and Logistics under President Carter, and as
Secretary of the Navy under President Clinton. Danzig has also emerged more recently as a Middle East expert.
A 'Class A' Cabinet post, Attorney General, could go to Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, or possibly to African American
Obama adviser Eric Holder, or to Jamie Gorelick, considered a top-flight lawyer and a star at both the Pentagon and as
Deputy Attorney General at Justice under Clinton. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has been mentioned as a possible
AG, although sources in the state say that he has told them he wants to complete a first term and run for a second. Other
AG possibles include Alabama Congressman Artur Davis and Chicago US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who prosecuted the
Scooter Libby CIA leak probe.
There has been talk that Napolitano could be picked as Secretary of Homeland Security, as there has been that fonner
Indiana Congressman Tim Roemer, who sponsored legislation creating the Department and who later served on the 9/1 1
Commission, is in the running. Roemer has also been discussed as a possible head of the CIA
If Daschle does not make the cut for COS, he could be offered Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), according
to yet another source. Additional prospects for the HHS post are Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro and Howard
Dean, who is a medical doctor as well as the current Democratic Party chairman.
Two high-ranking Democrats in the House, Norm Dicks of Washington and George Miller of California, could be in the
running for Secretary of the Interior; Miller has also been mentioned as a possible Education Secretary. Another politician
with a shot at Interior is Former Alaska Governor Tony Knowles.
The list of potential Education Secretaries includes Joel Klein, New York public schools Chancellor, and Stanford's Linda
Darling-Hammond.
While not as important as Chief of Staff, the White House Counsel has in many administrations played a crucial role,
especially in fights with Congress over executive branch testimony and over access to information. Top campaign finance
expert, Robert Bauer, who is a key Obama advisor and a widely admired legal advisor, may have an inside track for this job
if he wants it, but he has told associates that he plans to remain outside the administration while providing advice to the
political wing of the operation.
California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has not ruled out serving in a Democratic administration and is
viewed as a possible Secretary of Energy or as the administrator of the Enviromnental Protection Agency. Another potential
choice for Energy Secretary is Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey, although if Kerry were to get State, Marlcey might
fix his attention on an appointment to Kerry's Senate seat.

Cassandra Butts, "a pal of Obama's at Harvard," could be a candidate for Housing and Urban Development or for the
Education Department. She may have to fight off competition from a powerful interest group, the US Conference of
Mayors, however. At least three current and former chief executives of major cities have been mentioned for HUD, including
the District of Columbia's Tony Williams, Detroit's Dennis Archer and Atlanta's Shirley Franklin.
There could be some intense competition for the Labor Secretary spot, with Service Employees Institutional Union (SEIU)
president Andy Stem, former Democratic House Leader Dick Gephardt, and former House Democratic Whip David Bonior
looking at the post.
Among those under consideration for Transportation are Minnesota Congressman James Oberstar, chairman of the
Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, a Hillary supporter in the primaries.
Rendell has also been discussed as a possible Commerce Secretary, along with former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk and Kansas
Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer has been mentioned for Agriculture, but sources say that coming to Washington could
damage Schweitzer's appeal as a Western politician and his potential as a candidate for national office in the future. Former
Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, who also backed Hillary in his state's caucus, is another prospect for the post.
A choice that would probably win widespread support would be the selection of former Georgia Senator Max Cleland, who
lost both legs and one arm in Vietnam. Many Democrats remain deeply bitter over Cleland's defeat in his 2002 re-election bid
at the hands of Saxby Chambliss who ran an ad showing Cleland's face morphing into Osama bin Laden.
The prospects after November 4 for all of these competitors remain highly uncertain. One of the most consistent qualities of
the Obama operation is that key players hold their cards close to the vest. From all outward appearances, Obama intends to
make his appointments quickly and has reportedly already started the vetting process on 700 possible candidates for jobs at
all top levels. Facing two wars and the threat of a brutal recession, Obama will have little leisure time after election day,
when he will have to negotiate the tricky two-and-a-half-month transition process during which he will be the president-elect
with an adversary still holding the powers of office.

Subject: What Republicans do... a lesson
ALLEN RAYMOND: And I think, again, this gets to what I said earlier. You know, the question to ask yourself is
why: Why am I getting this phone call? And I'll go to the one about free trade, using Hispanic or Latin accents.
And the point there is to create cross-pressure.
So if you call a Democratic household that you're fairly certain is — maybe even a union household — opposed to
legislation such as, or policies such as NAFTA, the national — the North American Free Trade Agreement, which
a union household is going to perceive as a threat to their job, if you make that phone call that says — you know,
talking about NAFTA in that accent, you're going to create cross-pressure, because you're going to be saying to
that household, you know, while — depending on who they support, they may be in conflict, and they may just
throw up their hands and say, "You know what? I'm not going to vote. I'm just going to stay home." Or they may
cast a vote that ultimately is not in their best interest. So what you're doing is you're —
Another example might be, you know, if you're a Republican, calling into what you've identified as a Green Party
leaning household and encouraging them to vote for the Green Party, because more than likely, that household
is going to be a Democratic-voting household if they're not a Green Party household.
So, essentially, you're polarizing, you're dividing, and that's how you win in politics. I mean, this is a — as I said
earlier, this is not about morality, this is about winning, but winning in a way that you stay on the right side of the
law, which, again, as your listeners know, is something I violated and paid a stiff price for. But nonetheless, the
idea is, to win, you need 50% plus one, that means half the electorate plus one vote. And sometimes it's not
even a majority, sometimes it's just a plurality. So this is about polarization. It is about division, and it is about
wedge issues.

See below for the latest update from John Hepburn (Sunrise Project) in Australia.
I'm starting to think that our high tolerance for risk on this project is paying off!
Just as a reminder, the Adani mine would be the world's largest coal mine, in a remote and untapped coal
basin. Building it would open up the area to other mining companies and uncork the emissions equivalent
of the world's eighth biggest C02 emitting country (Germany).
The "EDO's" John mentions are Environmental Defenders Offices -- nonprofit environmental public interest
law firms. There is one in every state, and Sunrise Project has helped them in the transition from state
funding (which precipitously dropped when they took on cases against coal) to private donor funding.

Subject: Adani update - what a week!
Hi all,
Wow. What a huge week. The Adani Carmichael mine and the whole Galilee Basin fossil fuel
industrial complex is in its death throes.
First the big win in the Federal Court that overturned the approval of the Adani mine, followed closely
by the announcement that Australia's biggest bank (Commonwealth Bank) is no longer working with
Adani. The media coverage has been epic and it has been a big struggle to try to shape the story in
the face of the coal industry and federal Government attacking the environmental movement.
There is so much media coverage it is hard to know where to start - no doubt you have seen quite a

lot of it from your google alerts. I have copied a couple of pieces below. The first is a picture from a
news-stand that says it all, followed by an article that will run in the Australian Financial Review
tomorrow by the most senior resources writer in the country who sums up the situation pretty well.
The campaign is not over yet - but it is getting closer by the day and we have some more ammunition
yet to fire. Next week Tim Buckley & the IEEFA team will be launching their Indian Energy Sector
report (Tim has actually built a financial model of the Indian energy sector) that shows that India will
cease coal exports within the next few years and building the case for Adani (and everyone else) to
invest in renewables instead.
The coalition of groups that have been campaigning to get the banks to rule out financing the project
have already pivoted today to escalate the campaign towards the other 3 big Australian banks who
are all holding their AGMs at the same time as the Paris COP. And on Monday we have a meeting to
thrash out the federal election strategy to build on the momentum from the Galilee/Reef campaign.
The court win and the imminent win against the Adani project is only hardening the resolve of the
mining industry and the Federal Government to try to smash the environmental movement. They are
claiming that the court win was 'a technicality' a 'bureacratic stuff up' and a 'loophole' when it was
clearly a case of the Minister failing to examine the impact of the mine on endangered species. Of
course it isn't the first time that the coal industry has treated endangered species (or indeed climate
change) as a 'technicality'.
The industry have also dusted off the old 2012 leaked coal strategy to try to claim that there is some
kind of foreign funded and tightly orchestrated conspiracy to systematically destroy the Australian
coal industry. (I seriously don't know where they get these whacky ideas from!) Shudder to think that
environmentalists would use environmental laws to protect the environment!
The attacks will no doubt continue over the coming weeks but the movement here is really firing well
and is continuing to build more and more momentum.
Anyhow, I'm going to have the evening off. And then tomorrow afternoon I am going to buy a few
bottles of bubbly for a celebration with the EDO legal team, our colleagues at Getup, Greenpeace,
350.org , EOF, Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Mackay Conservation Group, Market Forces and
the brilliant and tireless Sunrise team.
You should all drink a toast for a very successful week. Without your support none of this would have
happened and the mine might have been half built by now.
The fight isn't over yet but we are on the trajectory to win and it is important to celebrate the big
milestones along the way.
Thanks again for your support.

Time-out for Adani's Queensland coal pariah
Matthew Stevens
Australian Financial Review
http://www.afr. com/business/rninina/coal/timeout-for-adanis-aueensland-coal-Dariah-20150806-ait3ws (Paywall)
Aug 6 2015
The existential struggles of a hard-working skink and slightly poisonous but otherwise unremarkable snake have left Queensland's $16
billion Carmichael coal project on life support and its sole proponent, Adani Group, in emergency-room discussion with the state
government.
But it is increasingly difficult to believe that Adani will linger too much longer before pulling the plug on this pariah of a coal project
that has, so far fruitlessly, absorbed just shy of $2 billion.
Carmichael was planned to be Australia's biggest coal mine. The first phase of the central Queensland mine was supposed to cost
$US6.5 billion ($8.9 million), making it one of the bigger countercyclical resources investments in Australian history. And
preconstruction work was supposed to begin at the mine site some time in September so that first coal could start sailing off to Adani's
power stations in India by late 2017.
But a bureaucratic stuff-up that was cleverly identified, and then impressively prosecuted in the Federal Court, by the coalition of anti-
coal lobbies that have lined up against a fleet of six Galilee Basin projects means that Adani's September deadline will be missed.
In May and June, the head of Adani's Australian operations, Jeyakumar Janakaraj, told The Australian Financial Review that there was
ever less tolerance at head office for further delay of progress at Carmichael and the window of investment opportunity would be put at
risk of closure if schedules were again pushed out by Australia's approval lethargy.
Time is the factor of critical importance to an investment decision most often overlooked by politicians and observers alike. It is an
issue, though, well-appreciated by the activists armed to stop coal.
Projects are designed and costed around schedules. Carmichael's milestones, ultimately, reflect Adani's increasingly immediate need
for coal to feed its own power stations. By our reckoning Adani needs about 10 million tonnes a year of reliable high-quality coal
supply by 2017. For four years Adani has worked to make Carmichael the solution. But all the evidence suggests the project is now the
problem and that Adani is close to burying Carmichael and seeking more certain alternatives.
Depending on you view point, that is either a massive win for the environment regionally and globally, or a highly indicative setback for
the Australian economy and for the people whose current and future welfare depended on development of the Galilee Basin's coal.
Carmichael the frontier project
That is the great thing about living in a democracy: people can own and propagate vastly different views on matters trivial or important.
And let's be very clear here: this one is important. Carmichael is the frontier project in the Galilee Basin. If Adani walks then this new
energy horizon closes for the forseeable future and possibly permanently.
To appreciate what is up for grabs here, you need to understand that Carmichael is about 800 kilometres from the coast. Adani, in the
form of either the company or its billionaire senior owner Gautam Adani, wants to build the mine and the railway that will link it to an
already expanded coal terminal at Abbot Point.
There are five other proposals to build mines around the Galilee Basin. Only one other had a realistic plan to build a railway and that
project (the Hancock-GVK joint venture) has collapsed into legal contest over the Indian group's failure to meet payment schedules.
So, as coal globally reaches what the anti-coal lobby hopes is an investment tipping point of no return, Adani's is the first and maybe

last hope of any sort of progress for the Galilee.
Coal is a relatively ubiquitous and cheap source of energy. That is why it is a cornerstone of most serious long-term forecasts of global
and regional energy needs. Coal is also the biggest single contributor to the global accumulation of carbon emissions that an informed
consensus says is changing our climate. That is why the Financial Times has dubbed coal the world's most hated commodity.
The First World's problem with coal has, in a moment of classic economic perversity, made it all the more attractive to the emerging
world. Coal is suddenly in relatively shallow and apparently permanent oversupply, and that means the price is flat-lining at historically
low levels.
So, while the underlying economics of Carmichael are being tested by the current low coal price, Adani suddenly has a whole lot of
choice about where it might source its coal. The market for mines and the commodity they produce is highly liquid. Adani needed to
spend another $US4 billion to bring the first phase of the Carmichael story to a close. The fact is that Adani's capital might easily be
redirected to more mature opportunities less likely to be critically delayed by activists legal and direct.
There is a lot of talk, for one example, that Rio Tinto's Hunter Valley coal system is on the market, with both Glencore and Mick
Davis' X2 said to be circling the dataroom.
Since March there has been gathering evidence of Adani's growing ambivalence about Carmichael as work on planning,
preconstruction preparations and project financing was either pulled or slowed. Most recently, Adani withdrew a funding mandate from
the Commonwealth Bank, which had been the Australian bank charged with marketing Carmichael's three-layered funding package.
Skewed confusion
There has been some typically skewed confusion over this decision. Some have preferred to believe that the CBA dropped Adani's
business, and to market this as a sea-change in Australian banking's embrace of coal as an asset class. But we have been reassured
by both bank and former client that Adani ended the mandate, and that Australia's biggest bank remains open for coal business.
Certainly this fits with advice consistently offered by the CBA's chief executive, Ian Narev. Like his peers among the pillars, Narev
routinely receives anti-coal's most important advocates and, just as routinely, insists that just walking away from coal would be as bad
for his shareholders as it would be for the Australian economy.
Until the canning of the CBA, Adani presented each of these retreats as sensible brinkmanship. The foreign investor was simply
announcing to governments state and federal that it would spend no more without final tick-off on the last of its Commonwealth
environmental approvals. But closing the door on finance appears to signal more enduring intent.
Just to be clear on the approvals issue, the one Adani regarded as its investment trigger was a Commonwealth sign-off on the week's
worth of dredging needed to drive a new shipping lane between Adani's new coal export pier at Abbot Point and the existing shipping
channel that take boats through the Great Barrier Reef.
This approval has been a matter of local and global contention. It sat central to the environmental lobby's sustained effort to get the
GBR placed on UNESCO's list of "at risk" environmental wonders. Had that happened, then Carmichael's goose would already have
been cooked. But it didn't: in late May UNESCO decided not to risk-list the Reef.
Adani and the state government (which is the applicant for the dredging approval because the port authority will do the digging and the
spoil dumping) expected Commonwealth indulgence to arrive finally in August. And with that Adani would get work started at the mine
site.
But that potential has been blown out of the water by Canberra's stuff-up. By failing to indicate that the Environment Minister had
adequately contemplated the impact of the mine on a pair of endangered species that live around the impact area, the environment
department has undermined the legal sustainability of Carmichael's approval and this little part of the whole has to be addressed all
over again.
That is going to take maybe two months. But that might be time that Carmichael just doesn't have. And can we really expect that the
even more fraught dredging approval will arrive in happy tandem with the redrafted mine sign-off? If not, then we might be into
November and possibly beyond before Adani's approval-chickens are lined up. Again, that might be time that this project doesn't have.

To: Edie Irons < edieirons@inthefire.com >
Hey folks,
I've got an incredible offer.
Two friends of mine devised this Obama Photo Booth ( http://flickr.eom/photos/97177334@N00/sets/
72157607764171 158/) where people can get their picture taken "fist-bumping" with Obama.
They have offered to bring their computer, camera, backdrop, high-quality photo printer, and photoshop skillz to
fundraisers between now and the election to help raise money for Obama. This was a HUGE hit at a fundraiser I
was just at, and they charged $10 per photo, which includes a glossy printout and an electronic copy via email.
So, do you know of any Obama fundraisers coming up where they can set up shop? Ideally they need about a
8x8 space indoors where they can set up computer, printer, lights, backdrop, etc. I believe they have all the
materials they need, so you wouldn't have to do much extra besides give them space. Decisions about where
they will go will be made based on their schedules, and if demand is high, then possibly on the expected size of
the event (i.e. they'll come out for larger events if they have to pick and choose).
Let me know!

thinks incredibly highly of him. He has a strong reputation of being able to get things done, and he has worked
well across party lines and in cooperation with industry and environmental advocates to pursue western clean
energy and climate policies.
Ned would be an excellent choice to bring western perspectives to the Administration’s national energy/climate
program. I think he would be a great fit as Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals, among other possible
positions. His resume is attached.
If you have any questions of me, please respond to my other email address (foaonly@earthlink.net) or feel free
to call me at 303 589 2560.
Best regards,
Rep. Alice Madden

This is the block updated from our conversation Saturday. A few things:
it sounds like getting a picture of taking the girls to school would involve a waiver. What is a 2 nd option for a
photo that day?
Do we have a podium sign with the seal being printed somewhere?
We have locked a ballroom at the Hyatt for avails. We are trying to lock an additional ballroom for the
meeting followed by avail for Friday.
We are close to having office space locked for Wed-Friday. Adam Hitchcock will update later today.
Hopefully Ariel Cap which is one block from our HQ and one block from Hyatt.
We should get this to BO if no one has issues.

On with Victoria Bjorkland now. I will update my Dad when he lands. I think it would be good if some of you or at least
Cheryl talks to my Dad tonight and if we could all talk to him tonight or later that week, that would be helpful and good for
him I think and our process.

previously with my Dad, me, Cheryl and Bruce. Doug called and yelled and screamed at my Dad about how could he do this
to Justin and him, he would be nothing without him, etc. My Dad responded that he could not have this conversation with
Doug and that he was trying to do the right thing by all. I cannot believe Doug did this on the day my grandmother died. My

A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land,
Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War
By Ronald K. Fierstein
2015, 672 pages, 6x9, Hardcover w/dust jacket
60 photographs/illustrations
List price $35.00
ABA Member price $29.00
This riveting biography from the American Bar Association,
visits the spectacular life of Edwin Land, breakthrough
inventor. At the time of his death, he stood third on the list
of our most prolific inventors, behind only Thomas Edison
and one of Edison’s colleagues. Land’s most famous
achievement of course, was the creation of a type of film and
camera that could produce a photographic print an instant
after the picture was taken. The book takes you behind the
scenes of his discoveries, his triumphs, and defeats. This
book presents an unprecedented look at a reclusive genius.
You'll learn details of Land’s involvement over four decades with top-secret U.S. military intelligence efforts
during World War II and through the Cold War in the service of seven American presidents. Additionally, you'll
thrill to the compelling first-hand look at perhaps our nation’s most important legal battles over intellectual
property - Kodak versus Polaroid. This corporate and legal struggle is a story of almost operatic dimension.
What began as a cooperative and collegial relationship ended in Kodak’s betrayal. The conflict led to an epic
legal battle, a dramatic event for Land who, from the witness stand, personally starred in a compelling
courtroom drama.

Gone Fishin': Right-Wing Media Hook Another Dubious Obama Conspiracy Theory
http://mediamatters.org/columns/201003120Q46
Summary: The right-wing media fell hook, line, and sinker for the latest Obama-centric conspiracy theory. Easily
made puns aside, the story was tailor-made for "conservative journalism." After all, the initial report hadn't a shred of
evidence to support its claims.
If you have 2 minutes to help promote it on any of the following social networks, I’d greatly appreciate the help.

Dear John,
In a few short days, we will be making critical decisions about how to proceed in
winning this election. We are facing another close race, and our opponents have
proven they are willing to do or say anything to win. But that isn’t what Silicon
Valley voters need right now.
This district needs a real progressive champion who will fight to stop the voices
of darkness in the Republican Party. I’ve been that throughout my entire career,
and I have no intention of stopping now; not when Donald Trump and his
supporters are rising in the polls. This fight for America’s soul is deeply personal
for me, and I believe Congress needs an advocate for justice, equality, and
peace more than ever.
Beyond that, we need someone who will fight to create jobs, protect worker’s
rights, stand up to the NRA and pass sensible gun safety legislation, and combat
climate change. I believe that I am the only person in this race who is truly
committed to those progressive issues, and that is why I am working so hard to
earn re-election and continue the honor of serving you in Congress.
If you agree, can you take a moment to make a contribution to our
campaign and help us reach $10.000 online by Sunday? Invest in our
campaign by giving $10 or more today:
Your support is the lifeblood of this campaign, and it will make a real difference in
this election.
Let’s show my opponents the strength of our people-powered movement.
In solidarity,
Mike Honda

[big campaign] TODAY’S FINANCIAL CRISIS IS THE MCC SAME AS SAVINGS AND LOAN
U J6C ' SCANDAL
TODAY'S FINANCIAL CRISIS IS THE MCCSAME AS SAVINGS AND LOAN SCANDAL
McCain has been at the center of a circle of greed, special interest favors, and lack of bank and government oversight once before. McCain was
reprimanded by the Senate Ethics Committee for his involvement in the Keating Five Savings and Loan scandal. Years later McCain, along with Phil
Gramm, advocated for the aggressive deregulation of Wail Street that led to today's financial crisis.
* Clip from Third Term linking McCain's actions in Keating 5 to his response to today's current financial crisis
"Campaign Money Watch new ad: http://www.campaianmonev.ora/keatina
Deregulation and Corporate Greed, Supported by McCain and his Special Interest Lobbyists, Has Led to Current Financial
Crisis
Economic experts say that McCain Advisor Phil Gramm and others are to blame for the current crisis that is
shaking Wall Street. Gramm's successful effort to pass banking reform laws in 1999, which reduced decades-old regulations
separating banking, insurance and brokerage activities, helped to create the current economic crisis. [ABC News, 9/17/08 ]
McCain Voted to De-Regulate Wall Street McCain voted for 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which de-regulated wall street by
breaking, "down the walls between banking, insurance, and securities..." [ American Banker . 3/11/08, emphasis added]
McCain Has a Long History of Putting Corporations and Lobbyists Interests Before American Families
McCain Was Top Recipient Of Keating Contributions During Senate Bid. McCain received $55, 000... from Keating's
company. "Tory Clark, McCain's press secretary, the biggest recipient of American Continental-linked money, acknowledged that he co-
sponsored a House resolution in 1985 urging [Bank Board Chairman Edwin] Gray to delay for six months implementation of the regulation."
[United Press International . 11/1/86]
Regulator Said McCain Took Advice from a Criminal.
"In the S&L crisis, he took his advice from the worst [kind of] criminal. Charles Keating is the person he went to for his policy advice," Black
said. [Huffinaton Post 10/01/08 ]
Keating "Sought a Quid Pro Quo" From McCain. The banker's attitude was summed up the day a reporter asked whether his
political donations to the senators encouraged their intervention. 'I want to say in the most forceful way I can, I certainly hope so,' Keating
replied." [Associated Press . 3/23/08]
McCain Leaned On Federal Regulators To End Examination Of Keating's Company. In 1987, the Los Angeles Times
reported: "Five U.S. senators in an unusual show of support for a constituent, pressed federal regulators at a meeting last April to wind up
a then yearlong examination of Lincoln Savings & Loan Assn, and to end 'unfair treatment' of the Irvine-based S&L, a spokesman for one of
the senators said Monday." [Los Angeles Times . 9/29/87, emphasis added]
McCain's "Poor Judgment" Admonished By Senate Ethics Committee. According to the Associated Press, the Senate Ethics Committee
admonished McCain for his involvement in the Keating 5 Scandal, saying he used "poor judgment." [ Associated Press . 12/20/07]
U.S. Taxpayers Stuck With Keating's $2.8 Billion Bill. The Associated Press reported, "The U.S. government seized Lincoln in 1989, sticking
taxpayers with a bailout cost of $2.8 billion." [ Associated Press . 3/23/08]
McCain Surrounded By Lobbyists Fights Reforms
McCain Led Effort To Allow Campaign Funds For Personal Use. In 1994, McCain introduced a motion to kill a Democratic
amendment prohibiting the use of campaign contributions for personal purposes, including a salary for the candidate. McCain's motion to kill
the amendment passed 64-35. S. 2, Vote #9 , 1/10/1995]
McCain Opposed A Provision Prohibiting Members Of Congress And Staff From Converting Frequent Flyer Miles
From Official Travel To Personal Use. In 1995, McCain voted to kill an amendment that would have barred Members of Congress
or their staffs from using frequent flyer miles accrued while on official travel for personal use. The motion to kill the amendment passed 54-
45. [S. 2, Vote #10 , 1/10/1995]
McCain Repeating Keating Era Mistakes, Regulator Warns "In the S&L crisis, he took his advice from the worst [kind of]
criminal. Charles Keating is the person he went to for his policy advice," Black said. "Now, he certainly is getting advice from Phil Gramm,
Carly Fiorina, Rick Davis - the whole group of economic and top political advisers are lobbyist types. He just doesn't seem to get it, ever,
that the advice is going to favor their clients. [Huffington Post 10/01/08 ]
McCain Has At Least 164 Lobbyists Running His Campaign, Raising Money For Him, And Setting His Policy
Agenda

Subject: Cabo -- let's consider DCA
You were right. No cheaper options that don't have you on a 7 hr plus layover. And you definitely have the best
option going out of IAD.
However, for the same mileage price of 75k round trip per person, let me give you 2 DCA outbound options, and
a DCA return, if that interests you, in case you don't want to park and spend the money at IAD. The times are
also better. The fees on the itinerary below appear to be identical to your current itinerary.
2 DCA OUTBOUND OPTIONS:
DCA - Houston - SJD
Departs DCA at 8 am (which would at least allow you to metro)
Layover at Houston is 1 hr 20 mins
Gets into SJD at 1 :26 pm, which is nearly the same as your current arrival.
Seats look great; again, that's 37.5k, just like your current outbound
OR
DCA - ORD - SJD
Departs DCA at 6 am (can't metro, but still, it's an option)
Layover at ORD is 1 hr 53 mins
Gets into SJD at 12:45 pm
Seats look great; again, that's 37.5k, just like your current outbound
1 RECOMMENDED DCA RETURN:
SJD - I AH - DCA
Departs SJD at 2:16 pm (30 mins later than your current itinerary)
Layover at IAH is 1 hr 20 mins
Arrives DCA at 1 1 :05 pm (30 mins earlier than your current itinerary gets you into IAD)
Seats look great; 37.5k per person, just like your current return
Thoughts on switching to a comparable, and slightly better timed DCA itinerary, or would you rather keep the
IAD itinerary?
And I hope you at least savored the look of 2 million miles before you made the purchase! So cool.

from your rooms. Many of you are leaving at the same time, so sure you can coordinate to share cabs as
needed. Flights below. Please let us know if there's anything you need.

Makes total sense that they would be doing this, as they have to be aware of how much their brand is damaged, especially
among anyone who isn't an older white male. But we shouldn't let them get away with it, because rebranding their party is
a total fagade, as evidenced by the policies they push - both economically and socially. Agree that we need to continue to
drive, and perhaps more forcefully enhance, that contrast with all of our target groups. Pushing the future/past contrast is
important in face of what they are trying to do here.

I watched them this morning. I was surprised by how little real estate they give to "Republican". Clearly they feel they need
to peel off women and people of color. I think this makes our work driving the contrast with our target groups all the more
urgent.

FYI - this group is placing large statewide buys in CO & OH (so far) to run 7/27-9/13. 60s and 30s. We are collecting
totals now. Will update when we have them all.
Looks like they bill themselves as "Opportunity Lives is a news organization dedicated to discovering and
highlighting real life success stories and solutions across America." Looks like the editor-in-chief is John Hart, a
former aide to Coburn. "Highlights of the Solutions Center include specific strategies to reform the tax code, improve
the American education system, and explore ways to increase upward mobility in American society."
Website: http://opportunitvlives.com/
Spot is a :60 and is all about creating jobs, supporting families, and community. Ends with "There are people who
still believe in opportunity in America. And we call ourselves Republicans"

Two options
1) Don’t comment and hope it goes away.
2) Say - Hillary Clinton likes to hear from policy advisors from various and sometimes disagreeing points of
view. Then she comes to her own conclusion on her agenda.

VIDEO: Unite for Change
J | Obama for America
John --
Last weekend, tens of thousands of people attended Unite for Change meetings in all 50 states.
These meetings connected Obama supporters, Democrats who supported other candidates in the primary,
Independents, and even some Republicans.
They came together to talk about the change this country desperately needs and form the fundamental
building blocks of change in their communities.
Check out this video we put together from events all over the country and share it with your friends:
http://mv.barackobama.com/ufcvideo
Unite for Change was an incredible display of the strength of our grassroots movement and the power of
Americans to unite around our common desire for change.
No one of us can change this country alone.
That's why it's so important to bring Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who are tired of the politics
of the past together to plan how to organize their neighborhoods.
Here are some stories we heard from people who participated in Unite for Change events this weekend:
"Obama attracts really great folks. Our small apartment had 18 of us all chatting about Obama and
the good to come nationally and even locally. During the DVD, my 2 year old kept saying 'that's
Obama' whenever we saw our candidate. For those of us here in the reddest state it is very affirming
to see others supporting a good cause and speaking freely and about the change this country needs.
I really feel like we did some good for Obama and for ourselves today. His community organizer
roots were showing because we had a room full of the young and young at heart being involved
politically for the first time."
-- Amylouise in Coeur d'Alene, ID
"About thirty-five Obama supporters, former Clinton supporters, Republicans, and Independents
gathered in Key West, the southernmost point in the United States. A number admitted that they
have not been active in politics for forty years, and the two youngest got extremely choked up as
they described friends in Iraq. People left with a commitment to register voters, hold future house
parties, get out the vote, and do whatever they can to elect Democrats all the way down the ticket."
— Beverly in Key West, FL
"I had over 50 show, with others wanting to come!! A wonderful gathering of friends, community
members, neighbors (even my son's first grade teacher) and lots of new faces in my house, coming
together to see how they could become part of the process of change they are feeling with Barack
Obama. I am so grateful for the opportunity to show my two children, ages 5 and 7, that this is how
America works. Thank you for the opportunity to help. I look forward to more in the future."
-- Walker in Sherman Oaks, CA
"We met neighbors that we had never met. We all shared one common goal -- black, white, old,
young, all united for change. Wow! It was magical to see our young college students and graduates
so involved and it was rewarding to see our seniors revitalized and charged with enthusiasm and
hope. We can't wait until the next event on Independence Day."
-- Barbara in Birmingham, AL

John --
What a speech.
If you missed President Obama's State of the Union address - or even if you heard every word -- you should check out the White
House's interactive version of the speech with facts, charts, graphics, and more:
http://my.barackobama.com/Watch-the-lnteractive-Speech
As I watched the speech last night, I was incredibly proud of my president-- and not just because I ran his reelection campaign.
When he talked about health care reform, and making college more affordable, it meant more to me than just a list of
accomplishments.
I thought of the people whose lives have changed because of those achievements -- friends of mine, supporters across the
country I've had a chance to meet, and millions more Americans.
That's what motivates me to finish what we started and keep making progress on the issues we care about.
That's exactly what Organizing for Action will do.
Thanks for your dedication to this grassroots movement,
Messina

Over the last six years, I have been on the receiving end of hundreds of White House farewell emails (none tops Alyssa's email
with the video from Thelma and Louise going over the cliff). It always seems like an impossible task to say appropriate thank
you's and farewells in this format. However, I will try.
Right before the election in 2008 Dan Balz told a couple of us that if we won, we would all be known as "Obama people" for the
rest of our lives no matter what we did. (At the age of 32 , that seemed a bit extreme.) So I leave the building today, but like so
many of you on this email I will be always be an "Obama person." And I couldn't be prouder of that fact or more gratified by the
people I have gotten to work with.
After today I can be reached at danpfeiffer2008@email.com , and if you need help with White House specific business, please
contact Clay Dumas ( Clay A Dumas@who.eop.eov ).

John—
We need affordable health care for all Americans. I’ve been a leader in the fight for
universal coverage for years. In Congress, I’ll put my expertise and experience to work to
make it happen for all of us.
My plan for health reform will guarantee:
Access for everyone to the full range of benefits provided to Members of Congress.
A choice of plans You can keep your existing plan or enroll in a new public or private
plan.
Portable coverage even if you lose your job.
An end to discrimination based on age or pre-existing conditions.
Affordable premiums with subsidies for families who need assistance.
The status quo simply isn't good enough any longer. I'm ready to lead the way to a better
health care system for all Americans but I can't make it happen without your help.
Click here to contribute today.
Last week my campaign manager asked you to help us raise $15,000 in the 15 days before
our May 21 st deadline. We've received a terrific response and we're now only $6,520 away
from our goal!
We only have one week left before our May 21 st deadline. Can you make a contribution
today to help us reach our goal?

Headlines:
Des Moines Register: “Hillary Clinton: Looking back, and forward
“When Hillary and Bill Clinton arrive in Indianola this afternoon for the 37th Harkin Steak Fry, they'll rekindle relationships
in the nation's leadoff presidential voting state that go back three decades — and perhaps begin forming new ones as she
deliberates another run at the presidency.”
Associated Press: “Back To Iowa: Clintons To Campaign In Caucus State
“White House speculation in overdrive, Hillary Rodham Clinton returns to Iowa to pay tribute to the state's retiring
Democratic senator as anticipation builds over the possibility of another presidential campaign.”
New York Times: “Return to Iowa Offers Clinton a Chance to Help Democrats. Including Herself”
“Hillary Rodham Clinton will wade back into Iowa and the unique brand of retail politics that so confounded her during the
2008 campaign on Sunday, taking her first steps back toward the presidential stage in the state that did so much to doom
her White House ambitions.”
Washington Post: “Tom Harkin. Bill Clinton and the changing Democratic Party”
“And where does he think Hillary Clinton fits along the spectrum? ‘Well, I think that’s probably yet to be determined,’ he
replied. ‘I think that from what I know of Hillary — I’m not terribly close, but we’ve known each other for a long time —
she’s very smart, very intelligent and, I tell you, she is much more progressive in her thoughts and her inclination than
most people may think.’”

Des Moines Register: “Hillary Clinton: Looking back, and forward
By Jason Noble
September 14, 2014, 8:51 a.m. CDT
When former Iowa Attorney General Bonnie Campbell's husband died in 2010, the first condolence phone call she
received was from Bill Clinton. The second came from Hillary Clinton.
The Clintons checked in on Ed Campbell every few weeks as he battled a long illness, Bonnie Campbell recalled in an
interview last week, serving if only over the phone as a shoulder to lean on.
"They have many more friends than just me, and closer friends," Campbell said of the former president and perhaps
future president. "But when I hear people say Hillary seems cool and distant — that's just not right. She's one of the
warmest, most genuine people I know."
When Hillary and Bill Clinton arrive in Indianola this afternoon for the 37th Harkin Steak Fry, they'll rekindle relationships in
the nation's leadoff presidential voting state that go back three decades — and perhaps begin forming new ones as she
deliberates another run at the presidency.
Campbell, a veteran of Bill Clinton's Department of Justice whom he later nominated (unsuccessfully) for a federal
judgeship, is just one of many lowans sharing a long history with the powerful couple.
A 201 6 campaign in Iowa would almost certainly combine members of that trusted network with a new generation of
campaign talent, many of whom came up over the past seven years in the Obama campaign machine, Iowa politicos said
last week.
Beyond Campbell, the loyalists include Jerry Crawford, an Iowa fixer dating to Bill Clinton's presidency, and former Gov.
Tom Vilsack and his wife, Christie. The new crew will skew younger, and comes with resumes mentioning President
Barack Obama's victorious Iowa campaigns and Ready for Hillary, the independent pro-Clinton group active in the state.
Hillary Clinton is well-known for surrounding herself with a core of longtime, forever-loyal aides, said Jonathan Allen, a
Bloomberg News reporter and co-author of "HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton."
"Hillary Clinton values loyalty, and she's a pretty insular person," Allen said. "She wants people around her she can trust."
But Allen said Clinton and her top aides are looking to expand the circle in 2016.
"There is a desire on the part of Hillary Clinton and some of the people closest to her to hire new people this time, to try
to welcome folks who are better with modern technology, and who have a better feel for grass-roots campaigning in
various states and particularly in Iowa," he said.

Nationally, speculation has been running high as to who might lead a new Clinton campaign. Politico reported early this
month that John Podesta, a longtime Clinton associate who serves as counselor to Obama, was most likely to serve as
chairman or in another top executive role.
Longtime advisers and aides Minyon Moore, Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Dan Schwerin are expected to
have roles in the national campaign as well, Politico reported.
The old guard
A run for president in 2016 won't be Hillary Clinton's first statewide campaign in Iowa, of course, and she'll have plenty of
pre-existing relationships to draw on as she looks to build support. Here are a few:
Jerry Crawford
Crawford, 64, might be thought of as the dean of Iowa Democratic political strategists. The Des Moines attorney's resume
includes chairman or director roles on six presidential campaigns. His history with the Clintons runs deep. He was state
director for Bill Clinton's presidential campaigns in 1992 and '96 and a Midwest regional co-chair of Hillary Clinton's '08
race. He's now advising the independent Ready for Hillary group ahead of a possible 2016 run.
Bonnie Campbell
Campbell, 66, a former Iowa attorney general and candidate for governor, traces her history with the Clintons to 1987,
when she was chairwoman of the Iowa Democratic Party and Bill Clinton was exploring the possibility of a presidential run
in '88. After her gubernatorial defeat in '94, she joined the Clinton Justice Department, working on violence-against-women
issues that are dear to Hillary Clinton. In 2008, she was Hillary Clinton's Midwest co-chair alongside Crawford.
The Vilsacks
Tom and Christie Vilsack — Iowa's first couple from 1999 through 2007 — are longtime Clinton friends and backers of
Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations. One early connection comes through Christie Vilsack's brother, Tom Bell, who
served with Clinton on the Watergate Committee in the 1970s. More recently, Tom Vilsack endorsed Clinton and served
as a national co-chair for her 2008 campaign (after ending his own short run for president).
Andy McGuire
McGuire, 57, a doctor and health care executive, has a long history of activism and support for Democratic candidates in
Iowa, not the least of whom is Hillary Clinton. McGuire was a co-chair of Clinton's 2008 campaign and made several
appearances with the candidate and on her behalf throughout the caucus campaign. In one high-profile appearance,
McGuire lunched at Palmer's Deli on Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines with Hillary Clinton; her mother, Dorothy Rodham;
and Hillary's daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
The new guard
Several prominent Iowa politicos who weren't part of Clinton's machine in 2008 are signaling allegiance — or at least

hearing their names floated — for a second run in 2016.
Derek Eadon
Eadon, 30, has Iowa campaign experience dating to 2002, and was one of the first Iowa politicos to join then-U.S. Sen.
Barack Obama's caucus campaign team in January 2007. He was state director for the '08 campaign's successor
organization, Organizing for America, and worked for Obama's re-election through 2011 and 2012. For the past several
months, he's been Midwest regional organizing director for Ready for Hillary, the independent group building grass-roots
support for a Clinton candidacy in 201 6.

Benzing, 37, is running Bruce Braley's campaign for the U.S. Senate, previously managed his congressional campaign
and was chief of his House staff. The Neola native and University of Northern Iowa grad also has extensive campaign
experience across the country. She was campaign manager for Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York in 201 0, Sherrod
Brown of Ohio in 2012 and Edward Markey of Massachusetts in a 2013 special election — all winners.
Tyler Olson
The four-term state representative was an early supporter of Obama in 2007, served briefly as state party chairman in
2013 and was a declared candidate for governor before withdrawing amid a divorce from his wife. Although he's not on the
ballot this year and won't hold office in 2015, he's not quitting politics and has already signaled support for Clinton's
candidacy. Olson, 38, was the emcee last January at a Ready for Hillary event in Des Moines.
Jackie Norris
Once a fixture of ObamaWorld, Norris sent signals this year that she's backing Clinton for president in 2016. The 44-year-
old New York native has a long history in Iowa, serving as finance director for Tom Vilsack's successful 1998 run for
governor and state director for Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign. She was a senior Iowa adviser to Obama in 2007-08
and followed him to the White House to be first lady Michelle Obama's chief of staff. Like Olson, she has appeared
publicly on behalf of Ready for Hillary.

Associated Press: “Back To Iowa: Clintons To Campaign In Caucus State
By Ken Thomas
September 14, 2014, 4:49 a.m. EDT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — White House speculation in overdrive, Hillary Rodham Clinton returns to Iowa to pay tribute
to the state's retiring Democratic senator as anticipation builds over the possibility of another presidential campaign.
Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were to headline Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry fundraiser in
rural Indianola. Sunday's event is expected to draw more than 5,000 party activists who form the backbone of Iowa's
presidential campaigns every four years.
Following a summertime book tour, Clinton was making her biggest campaign splash in 2014 so far, opening a fall of
fundraising and campaigning for Democrats who are trying to maintain a Senate majority during President Barack
Obama's final two years. The event was serving as a farewell for Harkin, a liberal stalwart and former presidential
candidate who is retiring after four decades in Congress.
Obama defeated Clinton in the state's leadoff presidential caucuses in January 2008, and the former secretary of state
has not returned since. Iowa Democrats said Clinton remained widely popular and predicted she would receive broad
support if she chooses to run again.
"Barack Obama was a phenomenon. He just was. I'll give him credit, he worked hard in Iowa, but so did she,” Harkin said,
when asked if Clinton would do things differently in Iowa if she runs in 201 6. "I don't think she ran a bad campaign at all. I
just think Obama was on a roll."
The hotly-contested 2008 caucus created a record turnout of more than 239,000 lowans, far above the 124,000 who

participated in 2004.
The Clintons' arrival offered the possibility of a fresh start for the former New York senator and first lady, whose campaign
stumbled in the months leading up to the caucuses.
Anti-war activists opposed her vote to authorize the Iraq war in 2002 and coalesced around Obama, who had opposed the
war as an Illinois state senator. Clinton was often insulated by a large entourage in a state where face-to-face retail
politics has long been a hallmark of campaigns.
Clinton, who has conferred with Iowa Democrats in recent days, would enter a presidential campaign with a large
advantage over potential rivals. Early polls have shown her leading other Democrats by wide margins, including Vice
President Joe Biden and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Biden is traveling to Des Moines next week and has not closed the possibility of another campaign while O'Malley has
made several visits to the state and dispatched staffers to Iowa this fall.
Harkin's final steak fry was expected to be the largest since Hillary Clinton's last appearance in 2007, when she was
joined by Obama, Biden and other Democrats running for president. Bill Clinton has appeared at the event three previous
times.
It was also serving as a pep rally as Democrats try to hold onto Harkin's seat. Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley faces
Republican state Sen. Joni Ernst in one of the nation's most competitive Senate campaigns. Clinton is also expected to
make the case for Staci Appel, a Democrat running in an open congressional seat against Republican David Young. No
woman has ever been elected to Congress or governor in Iowa.
Clinton has said she expects to decide on another campaign early next year.
The Clintons were attending a private reception for Harkin at Principal Park, the home of Des Moines' minor league
baseball team, before traveling to the hot-air balloon field where the senator has held the fundraiser since the early 1 990s.
The Clintons count Harkin and his wife, Ruth, as longtime friends. Harkin was a vocal supporter of Bill Clinton during the
impeachment crisis and Hillary Clinton served alongside Harkin for nearly a decade. Bill Clinton faced Harkin in the 1992
presidential primaries but never competed in Iowa. The candidates bypassed the state because of the Iowa senator's role
Ready for Hillary, a super PAC laying the groundwork for a Clinton campaign, plans to be visible at the steak fry, handing
out T-shirts and signing up volunteers.

September 13, 2014
DES MOINES — Hillary Rodham Clinton will wade back into Iowa and the unique brand of retail politics that so
confounded her during the 2008 campaign on Sunday, taking her first steps back toward the presidential stage in the
state that did so much to doom her White House ambitions.
Mrs. Clinton’s attendance at the 37th and likely final steak fry hosted each year by Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat who
is retiring, will bestow some much-needed heft on Democratic candidates in Iowa who are stuck in tight midterm races
and who, unlike Republicans in the state, have not benefited from the support of many 2016 presidential hopefuls.
But the handshaking, speechmaking and beef eating will also allow Mrs. Clinton, alongside former President Bill Clinton,
to take a measure of the pivotal early caucus state, which came to symbolize the dysfunction and disappointment of her
last presidential campaign.
More than 5,000 people are expected to attend the steak fry, the most since Mrs. Clinton last went in 2007, along with
then-Senator Barack Obama and other Democratic presidential hopefuls. Over 200 journalists have requested credentials.
Mrs. Clinton has not been in the state since January 2008, when she finished in third place in the caucuses and Mr.
Obama was first propelled toward the nomination. For many Iowa Democrats counting on the Clintons to bolster their
ticket this year, the once and perhaps future first couple’s return cannot come soon enough.
“I’m anxious to see them Sunday and chat,” said Mark Smith, the Democratic leader of the Iowa House. He said he would
ask the Clintons, who have been in demand in tight 2014 races, “for help and to explain to them the value of investing in
Iowa and a Democratic House here.”
Iowa Democrats need to gain only four State House seats to win a majority, and particularly at the local level, party
officials here rely on the fund-raising prowess of national figures.
The Clintons are expected to arrive with their personal staff on a private jet early Sunday and attend an expensive fund-
raiser at a minor-league baseball stadium in Des Moines for Mr. Harkin’s To Organize a Majority PAC before going to
Indianola for the steak fry.
Excitement to see Mrs. Clinton will not necessarily translate to votes, as she learned in 2008, when she finished behind
Mr. Obama and John Edwards.
Activists in Iowa, like those in New Hampshire, famously demand personal attention from White House prospects, a ritual
that can grate on the candidates and their staffs. For all the talk about whether Mrs. Clinton’s centrist tendencies match
her party’s liberal moment, winning in Iowa is often as much about paying respect to its one-vote-at-a-time tradition as it
is about ideology.
After Mrs. Clinton’s unexpected 2008 defeat, aides bruised lowans’ egos by playing down the state’s influence in
presidential elections. “The worst thing would be to overcount Iowa and its importance,” Mark Penn, Mrs. Clinton’s chief
strategist in 2008, said after the votes were counted. “Iowa doesn't have a record of picking presidents.” Another aide
compared the Iowa caucus to “a mayor’s race in a medium-sized city.”

Organizationally, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign struggled with the Iowa style of politics. For example, Jan Bauer — the
Democratic chairwoman of Story County, north of Des Moines, who supported Mr. Obama — received three calls from
him and only one from Mrs. Clinton, she said. And, unlike Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton did not ask for Ms. Bauer’s vote when
she did call. “If you’re not willing to ask, you’re not going to get a commitment,” Ms. Bauer said.
Asked whether she would get behind Mrs. Clinton in 2016, Ms. Bauer said: “I haven’t gotten to that point yet. I’m looking
to see what kind of an organization they’re going to put together.”
Mrs. Clinton’s supporters said she had learned her lesson. “The challenges she saw in 2008 would be fixed this time
around,” said Jennifer M. Granholm, a former governor of Michigan and an adviser to Ready for Hillary, an outside group
that builds grass-roots support for Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy.
Ready for Hillary has already signed up backers in all 99 Iowa counties and has 250 volunteers at 84 county conventions.
It has run phone and email drives to promote the steak fry and rented a billboard near the Des Moines airport.
“One of the lessons from last time is that people have to feel very attended to at the most local level,” said Jerry
Crawford, a Des Moines lawyer and longtime Clinton supporter.
Mitch Stewart, director of Mr. Obama’s field operations in Iowa in 2008, said it was important to remember how unusual
that election was. “She got 70,000 people to caucus for her,” he said of Mrs. Clinton. “By any other standard, it would
have been a gigantic success.”
Mr. Stewart, who now advises Ready for Hillary, said several early supporters of Mr. Obama had already signed up to
support Mrs. Clinton in 2016, including State Representative Tyler Olson of Cedar Rapids and Jackie Norris, who was Mr.
Obama’s Iowa caucus director.
Mrs. Clinton is not expected to say anything explicit about the 2016 race on Sunday. Mr. Crawford said her team had
been “very precise about what they want to do”: honor Mr. Harkin’s long career in public service and fire up Democrats for
this November’s elections, with a particular emphasis on the tight Senate race here, which could decide which party
controls the chamber.
Mrs. Clinton’s position as the presumptive Democratic front-runner has lessened the usual swarm of would-be candidates
to Iowa. The only Democrat with serious presidential aspirations to engage extensively here so far is Gov. Martin
O'Malley of Maryland, who has contributed over $30,000 to Iowa candidates and committees, raised more by hosting
fund-raisers and held 12 events.
But Republicans have had the benefit of near-constant visits by 2016 hopefuls.
“It’s been six years since Mrs. Clinton came to Iowa after her third-place finish, and definitely we are curious to hear what
her explanation is,” said Jeff Kaufmann, chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa.
He said he did not expect Mrs. Clinton to receive an improved reception, “unless there’s been some kind of born-again
experience in terms of how to interact with the common people.”
At least one master of Iowa politics, Mr. Harkin — like others who want to ensure that Mrs. Clinton competes here —

disagreed with that assessment. “There’s this myth that somehow she screwed up,” he said. “It’s just that Barack Obama
was a phenomenon. He just outhustled everyone. She knows that. I think she knew it then.”
Washington Post: “Tom Harkin. Bill Clinton and the changing Democratic Party”
By Dan Balz
September 13, 2014, 1 :18 p.m. EDT
DES MOINES — Sen. Tom Harkin keeps two mementos on the wall of his office, reminders of where he came from. One
is a picture of his mother’s birthplace in Slovenia, a house with a dirt floor, a house that her family shared with the
animals. The other is the card his father received when he joined the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal.
His mother died when he was 10. His father never got beyond sixth grade and was in his 70s and suffering from black
lung and other maladies by the time Harkin was in high school. He watched one of his brothers, who was deaf, struggle
and eventually lose his job when the factory owners broke the union.
Harkin learned his politics from those experiences growing up in tiny Cumming, Iowa, whose 2010 population was 351. He
saw what the New Deal and Social Security, and later Medicare, did for his father. Out of all that, he came to believe that
“government could do good things for people. It could help lift people up and give people hope.”
He has been described in many ways over the years: brash, in your face, a no-excuses Democrat, a partisan and bare-
knuckle orator with a zest for political combat. When he announced his candidacy for president in the fall of 1 991 , he
said, “I'm here to tell you that George Herbert Walker Bush has feet of clay, and I intend to take a hammer to them.”
During times of changing political fashions, Harkin never wavered in his beliefs. As the country shifted to the right, as
public dissatisfaction with big government rose, as organized labor went into retreat, Harkin continued on the same path.
Today he is seen as one of a dying breed of Democrats. At a time when many in his party have run from the label and
government’s effectiveness has been called into question by Republicans, he remains unabashedly an old-fashioned
liberal.
Richard Bender, who worked for Harkin from 1977 to 2013, told my colleague Phil Rucker this weekend: “To staff, he is
not Senator Harkin. He is Tom. There’s too much of a tendency for these guys to become something that’s super-special
— the elevator’s always open, the senator sits where the senator wants to sit — and he’s still this little guy from
Cumming.”
At the end of the year, Harkin will retire from elective office after five terms in the House and five in the Senate. Among
his accomplishments is the one of which he is most proud: passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act. He is also
proud of the fact that he has defeated more sitting members of Congress (five) in his elections than anyone else in
history.
Steak fry politics

On Sunday, Harkin will convene his annual steak fry and political rally at a balloon field near Indianola. It will be the 37th
and last steak fry. The featured speakers are former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Rodham
Clinton. It will be her second appearance and his fourth.
With the 2016 presidential campaign looming, more attention Sunday will be on Hillary Clinton than her husband. But in
many ways, the event will highlight a relationship between Harkin and the former president that offers a window into the
ebbs and flows within the Democratic Party over the lifetime of their careers.
Harkin and Bill Clinton ran against each other for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992 — the old-fashioned
prairie liberal vs. the Southern New Democrat. Harkin was a throwback to the party’s proudest days under Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Clinton was out to redefine the party after the Democrats had lost three consecutive presidential elections to
Ronald Reagan and Bush.
The 1992 campaign began with Bush appearing almost unbeatable, with an approval rating touching 90 percent in the
winter of 1991 after the Persian Gulf War. Democrats were terribly demoralized. Long before Clinton even announced his
candidacy, it was Harkin who began to rouse his party back to life.
In that summer of 1991 , Harkin traveled the country preaching his brand of the old-time religion. He offered hot rhetoric
that brought audiences to their feet cheering. “It’s time to get up off our knees and fight back,” he would thunder at labor
rallies and party dinners.
Clinton entered the race in the fall of 1991 and soon became the front-runner for the nomination, despite the scandals that
hit his campaign. A frustrated Harkin lashed back at his rival during the heat of the primaries. He said Clinton had “bought
into Reaganomics” and that his tax policies “did to Arkansas what Reagan did to this country.”
Reminded of those lines on Friday, Harkin chuckled. “I wonder who wrote those lines for me,” he said. But then he said
this: “It became clear to me that Clinton was much better prepared to run for president than I was and really had it all put
together. And watching him in the campaign, I became convinced that he really had the right stuff.”
Shortly after dropping out of the race, Harkin endorsed Clinton. That fall, Clinton made his first appearance at the Harkin
steak fry. He came back in 1 996, when he was cruising to reelection but when Harkin was in one of the toughest
reelection battles of his career. Harkin has never forgotten.
Clinton returned again on a rainy Saturday in 2003. The other speakers included the party’s 2004 presidential candidates.
Clinton overshadowed them all. No other speaker has appeared as often.
Yet, though they have become friends and allies, their politics remained at different ends of the Democratic Party
spectrum. Even as his party under Clinton and later was moving to the center and becoming more business friendly,
Harkin never shed or hid his liberal identity.
“I couldn't do that,” he said. “So I had to win elections by being the liberal, the progressive that I am, the pro-labor
candidate that I am.”
Thoughts on Hillary Clinton
10/18/2016

Page 2262
I asked Harkin on Friday where he thinks his party is today and where he fits into it. He paused a few seconds to think.
“As a whole, I think the Democratic Party is much more progressive, liberal, now — oriented that way now — than it has
been for a long time.”
He believes that it has moved back toward the left both because of the Republican Party moving to the right and because
of President Obama. “Obama was pretty damn progressive ... when he ran and the issues he ran on,” he said. “That was
a very liberal person. Still is, I think.”
And where does he think Hillary Clinton fits along the spectrum? “Well, I think that’s probably yet to be determined,” he
replied. “I think that from what I know of Hillary — I’m not terribly close, but we’ve known each other for a long time —
she’s very smart, very intelligent and, I tell you, she is much more progressive in her thoughts and her inclination than
most people may think.”
Harkin almost became an airline pilot. He took steps to become a life insurance salesman. He said he narrowly escaped
becoming part of a small law firm whose principal later went to jail for embezzling his clients’ money. Now he is about to
become an ex-senator. Where does he fit in? “I hope that I’ll continue to have an outlet for my progressive views,” he
said. “I'm looking for different outlets for that. But I know one thing. Once you leave the Senate, you’re out. I got that.”
Politico blog: Politico Live: “Harkin: Progressives have questions for 2016ers. including Clinton
By Katie Glueck
September 14, 2014, 12:07 p.m. EDT
Sen. Tom Harkin, who is hosting Hillary Clinton at his annual steak fry on Sunday, acknowledges questions remain for
progressives about her positions--as they do for all potential presidential candidates.
In an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's "This Week," the retiring Iowa Democrat was asked about concerns
progressives may harbor about Clinton--the favored Democratic 2016 nominee should she run, including whether she's too
close to Wall Street or too hawkish on foreign policy.
"We're always nervous about people moving too far to the right," Harkin replied. "See we -- a lot of us believe the center
ought to be moved back, that the that center has moved too far right."
Asked where Clinton "is", he noted that questions persist, but said they do so for everyone weighing a run.
"Well, I don't know," he said. "I mean I think this is something that will be developed and we'll find out when she - if --
when and if she decides to run. You know, what's her vision for America?"
He noted that he thought President Barack Obama-- whose presidential candidacy took off in Iowa in 2008, though Clinton
was initially considered the frontrunner--was "a great progressive and a great populist," but that he hasn't always been
happy with the president's record, either.

Politico blog: Politico Now: “Sanders considering 2016 run as Democrat”
By Jennifer Shutt
September 14, 2014, 11:50 a.m. EDT
Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Sunday he’s considering running for president in 2016, but maybe not as an independent.
“The issue is setting up the infrastructure of running,” the independent senator from Veront said on NBC’s “Meet the
Press.” “One of the reasons I’m going to Iowa is to get a sense of how people feel about it.”
Sanders said he believes more people are frustrated with their political parties and could align with an independent
presidential candidate, but that setting up the infrastructure needed for a serious candidacy throughout the states could
be difficult.
Whether he runs for president as a Democrat, he said, doesn’t have anything to do with whether former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton runs.
“The issue is not Hillary. I’ve known Hillary Clinton for many years. I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton," Sanders
said. "The question is at a time when so many people have seen a decline in their standard of living, when the wealthiest
people and the largest corporations are doing phenomenally well, the American people want change.”
Sanders said he would be a voice for working and middle class Americans, if he runs for president by addressing the
growing influence of money in politics as well as defending Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
“I know that the middle class of this country is collapsing. I know the gap between the very, very rich and everybody else
is growing wider. I know there is profound anger at the greed on Wall Street and corporate American, anger at the political
establishment, anger at the media establishment,” Sanders said. “The American people want real change.”

“WE WANT to alternate ‘Ready’ and Thank You Tom!’ signs all the way down,” volunteers were told by a staffer for
Ready For Hillary, the shadow presidential campaign machine being built by fans of Hillary Clinton, should she decide to
seek the White House in 2016. The instruction was well-advised. The scene was a lovely, sun-dappled field outside
Indianola, Iowa. The time was lunchtime on Saturday, September 13th, a day before the annual “Harkin Steak Fry”, a
giant festival of steak grilling and political fundraising hosted by the Democratic senator for Iowa, Tom Harkin.
Senator Harkin, who is retiring this year, has gently lobbed a rock into the swirling waters of 2016-speculation by inviting
Mrs Clinton and her husband to speak. For the former secretary of state, senator and First Lady, it marks her first visit to
Iowa since her bruising third-place finish in the 2008 presidential caucus, behind Barack Obama and John Edwards.
Some 200 reporters are expected at Sunday’s steak fry. Almost all will be there to write stories about 2016, and whether
Mrs Clinton’s return to Iowa is a sign that she is preparing for a fresh presidential run (yes, of course) or whether it signals
that she has taken a firm decision to run (not yet, would be Lexington’s guess). Yet for Iowa Democrats, the 37th and
final Harkin Steak Fry is also a grand farewell for their beloved senator.
That makes the day tricky for the Clintons: guest stars who must not upstage their host. The puzzle is doubly fiendish for
the bosses of Ready for Hillary, who are essentially trying to lay the foundation for a presidential campaign without a
candidate. As a Super PAC, or political action committee, it may raise political funds as long as it does not co-ordinate
its work with Mrs Clinton. The ginger group has thus spent many months following her at a distance — signing-up
grassroots supporters and donors, especially in early presidential primary states, building e-mail and address lists,
holding house parties for fans, voter registration drives and generally trying to build excitement for their hoped-for
contender.
The Ready for Hillary team have come close to their heroine before. Their campaign bus has parked outside bookshops
during her book tour for her memoir of her time at State (a grim slog of a read, reviewed by Lexington here). Plenty of
supporters have asked Mrs Clinton about her 201 6 plans while sporting “Ready for Hillary” badges and shirts.
On Sunday at the steak fry, for the first time, Mrs Clinton will find herself speaking at an event decorated with Ready for
Hillary signs and banners, next to her shadow campaign bus. Lexington, in a nerdy moment, found himself recalling the
Ghostbusters film, and “Don’t cross the beams!” How close, he wondered, could a non-candidate come to her not-yet-a-
campaign paraphernalia without tearing the fabric of the political universe?
But for Ready for Hillary the benefits outweigh the risks, as they seek to build a grassroots operation across Iowa, erasing
memories of how that ornery farm state never quite warmed to Mrs Clinton or her Blackberry-toting city-slicker team in
2008. The group has rented half-a-dozen buses to bring students from eight Iowa colleges to the steak fry, in an effort to
recruit an inner core of Iowa campus organisers. Still, they know they must not push aside Mr Harkin or the local
Democratic machine. After all, the day is meant to raise money and drum up votes for Democratic candidates in Iowa in
the mid-term congressional elections this November. Hence the careful instructions to alternate “Thank You Tom!” signs
with those tastefully oblique “Ready” signs along the sidelines of the steak fry. The group also brought large signs
thanking Ruth Harkin, the senator’s wife. The graphics are simple, the colours laden with meaning (blue lettering giving
way to an exclamation mark in a grown-up shade of pink).
All in all, a delicate dance. Some 6,000 people are expected for the steak fry. It promises to be interesting. Your
columnist was glad to have arrived a day early. It was an oddly moving scene. A perfect early autumn sun bathed the
site, as seats, hay bales and a red antique tractor straight from a children’s book were arranged just so. Mr Harkin toured
the field to thank long-time staff, followed by a young grandson.
Democrats are due to have a bruising 2014. As he retires from 40 years in elected politics, Mr Harkin admits to gloom
about the role of big money in politics. But “people will still beat money,” he said, surveying the field sloping below him.
“That’s what this is about, getting the vote out.” Asked why he had invited Mrs Clinton to his final steak fry, he said she
was a friend, and he expressed hope that she was coming to “get the vote out for 2014”. Aides had signalled that they

preferred questions about the mid-terms and Mr Harkin’s own legacy, not 2016. But Mr Harkin is a politician, and he
knows why 200 journalists are making their way to Indianola for some barbecue. Mrs Clinton had been out of active
politics as secretary of state, he noted. Now he sounded glad to see her back in the Democratic fray, for whatever
ultimate purpose. “She’s in harness now,” he volunteered. “And she’s leading now.” With that, he hopped in a golf cart and
was gone.
MSNBC: “For Hillary Clinton in Iowa. 6 years makes a huge difference
By Kasie Hunt
September 13, 2014, 4:49 p.m. EDT
DES MOINES, Iowa — Hillary Clinton left Iowa 2,444 days ago as a third-place loser, an experience she called
“excruciating.” This weekend, she returns to the first-in-the-nation presidential voting state with almost no one standing in
her way.
Clinton is set to take the stage at the final Harkin Steak Fry, an event hosted by retiring Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom
Harkin that will take place late Sunday afternoon in Indianola, Iowa. Officially, Clinton’s Iowa visit serves as a “thank you”
to Harkin for his decades of work and for his efforts as a Democratic fundraiser.
“She’s very clear about her mission coming to Iowa: They are coming to thank Tom Harkin and [wife] Ruth Harkin for their
service, and they are there to rally the troops from the Democratic ticket up and down the ticket,” said Teresa Vilmain, a
longtime Clinton confidante who ran her Iowa campaign in 2008.
Unofficially, the Steak Fry is the starting gun for the 2016 presidential race in Iowa. Five thousand people have bought
tickets to the fundraiser, where Hillary and then Bill Clinton will close out a speaking program featuring Democratic
candidates, including Senate hopeful Bruce Braley. More than two hundred reporters have RSVPed. The super PAC
“Ready for Hillary” has posted a billboard with Hillary Clinton’s picture just outside the airport in Des Moines, and the
group is holding an all-day session to organize volunteers, as well as a dinner at the Marriott downtown. Democratic
operatives with Iowa ties have also descended on the state, holding events to celebrate Harkin but wondering openly
about how a future Hillary Clinton campaign will be structured.
All that already has Republicans attacking like it’s 2016.
“The thing that lowans are going to expect is a presidential candidate who can sit down in their living rooms, talk the talk,”
Iowa GOP chairman Jeff Kaufmann told reporters. “I don’t think Mrs. Clinton fits the bill ... unless there’s been some kind
of born again experience in her ability to interact with the common Iowan.”
The farm fields of Iowa have been fraught — and sometimes foreign — territory for the Clintons. Bill Clinton didn't
compete here in 1991 because Harkin, the state’s favored son, was running; Harkin won Iowa with 77% of the vote.
In 2008, Hillary Clinton stumbled in her campaign when a leaked memo suggested she should simply skip Iowa and
instead focus on “Super Tuesday” contests elsewhere. That was interpreted as a major slight in a place that holds deep

pride in being the first to have a say in presidential politics.
In the end, Clinton competed aggressively here, though the process itself was a difficult one — Iowa voters and activists
expect time consuming one-on-one interaction. She faced criticism for running a traditional, top-down campaign that
prioritized winning endorsements from local political figures instead of reaching new voters. Her campaign focused
primarily on trying to win over people who had come to lengthy, hours-long caucuses in previous years.
Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, meanwhile, reached out to Democrats and independents who had never caucused
before. That was a new strategy.
“She ran a really aggressive campaign in 2008. She just sort of ran into a buzz saw with Obama, who ran a campaign like
[one] never seen before in Iowa,” said Jeff Link, a longtime Democratic strategist and Harkin adviser who was unaligned
in 2008.
Operatives and activists widely say that the landscape in Iowa has changed for Clinton now, largely because there’s no
significant alternative candidate at this point in the emerging race. That’s not to say other Democrats aren't trying. Later
this week, Vice President Joe Biden will visit Iowa with Nuns on the Bus, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is in the state
this weekend, and former Sen. Jim Webb paid a visit recently. In addition, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is paying more
than a half-dozen staffers who are working inside the Democratic Party and for Democratic campaigns.
Several Iowa activists privately suggested that there is an appetite for a Clinton alternative among core Democrats —
Braley’s Senate campaign is picking up that sentiment from focus groups asked about the former secretary of state.
However, Clinton’s lock on Iowa at this stage is overwhelming. Link, the Harkin adviser, points out that even the longtime
Iowa senator lost almost 25% of the vote in the state’s 1992 caucuses. “There will be other candidates that get a share of
the vote, even if she articulates a clear message,” he said.
There are also some signs that many of the voters who backed Obama in 2008 are excited about the prospect of a
Clinton candidacy in 2016.
“In 2008, that hope and change message really resonated, and we really believed that people could compromise,” said
Chris Diebel, a key Obama supporter in Iowa in 2008 who helped with outreach to young people and the LGBT
community. “Then, eight years later, you get far more pragmatic. For me, at least, it’s much less about hope and change
and more about, ‘who’s going to get in there and fight the good fight?”’
The Hill blog: Ballot Box: “Bill Clinton: Perns have better-than-even shot at holding Senate
By Alexandra Jaffe
September 13, 2014, 11:38 a.m. EDT
Former President Bill Clinton on Friday offered an optimistic appraisal of Democrats’ midterm chances, saying he thought
10/18/2016

Page 2267
his party has a better-than-even shot at retaining control of the Senate.
Democrats, he said on PBS’s “NewsHour,” “will “do better than people think.”
“I think we have a slightly better than 50% chance to hold the Congress. I still think we've got a chance win in Georgia
and Kentucky. We're now competitive in Kansas. And we have to, I think, we've got a great chance to win in North
Carolina,” he said.
“I think we're now going to hold Michigan, and I believe we'll win in Iowa. And I think [Sens.] Mark [Pryor (D-Ark.)] and
Mary Landrieu [D-La.] will win, so I'm not with the skeptics. I think we're going to do better than people think.”
Most independent election forecasters have, over the past two weeks, found Republicans favored to pick up the six seats
they need to regain control of the Senate.
Georgia and Kentucky are Democrats’ main offensive opportunities — in the former, Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ (R)
retirement has opened up what Democrats believe is a competitive seat, especially with their candidate, Michelle Nunn,
whom they see as a strong recruit against Republican David Perdue. Polling has indeed shown a tight race there, with two
polls out Friday offering a conflicting outcome: One gave Perdue the edge, while one showed Nunn up, both with a margin
under five points.
In Kentucky, Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes is working to take down Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) in one of this year’s
fiercest and most expensive contests. Recent polling has, however, shown McConnell breaking open a slim but
significant lead over the past month, though his margin still remains in single digits.
And Democrats found a new opportunity in Kansas, where Sen. Pat Roberts (R) has emerged as surprisingly vulnerable
following a fierce primary fight. The most recent survey found independent Greg Orman leading the pack of four
candidates, and Democrat Chad Taylor is attempting to remove himself from the ballot to give Orman — seen as the
stronger candidate against Roberts — a better shot at taking him down.
Taylor’s attempt was blocked by the Kansas secretary of State, a Republican, and heads to the state Supreme Court this
week. But Roberts is taking no chances against Orman, revamping his campaign team and going on offense against
Orman, painting him as a liberal Democrat in an independent’s clothing.
Roberts’s campaign manager, Corry Bliss, issued a statement Saturday suggesting Clinton labeling Kansas as one of
Democrats’ offensive opportunities is further proof Orman isn’t who he says he is.
"So-called 'Independent' Greg Orman has run for office as a Democrat, donated money to Democrats, and now Bill Clinton
is talking up Orman's candidacy as a way for Democrats to retain control of the Senate," Bliss said. "Greg Orman isn't
being honest with voters and he will say and do anything to get elected, even if it means pretending he's not a Democrat."
Clinton’s other predictions are still somewhat rosier than most independent prognosticators. Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) is
seen as the strongest of the party’s four red-state incumbents, and is currently favored to hold her seat, though she
continues to face a tough race through the fall. And Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) has held a solid lead over Republican
Terri Lynn Land in the Michigan Senate race, and is also favored to hold that seat.

Democrats believe Rep. Bruce Braley (D-lowa) will benefit from the blue lean of the state and from some of his
opponent’s more controversial remarks, once voters begin to tune into the race, but polling has so far shown that contest
to be close.
And Arkansas and Louisiana are typically listed near the top of the list of Democratic-held seats most likely to flip. There,
the red lean of the states coupled with strong GOP challengers have put Democrats in tough spots heading into
November.
They all may, however, receive a boost from Clinton himself, and perhaps his wife. Bill Clinton has proven to be a prolific
and effective surrogate for vulnerable Democrats this cycle, and Hillary Clinton is expected to hit the trail for the party’s
top candidates this fall as well. The Clintons will be in Iowa Sunday at the final steak fry hosted by retiring Sen. Tom
Harkin (D-lowa).
Washington Post: “O'Malley returning to South Carolina to campaign with gubernatorial candidate”
By John Wagner
September 14, 2014, 10:10 a.m. EDT
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley plans to return to South Carolina next weekend to campaign for the state’s Democratic
gubernatorial nominee, party officials there confirmed Sunday.
The trip will provide the latest chance for O’Malley (D) to mingle with Democratic activists who could prove helpful if he
moves forward with a White House bid. South Carolina is scheduled to hold an early primary in 2016.
On Saturday, O’Malley plans to join gubernatorial nominee Vincent Sheheen at a meet-and-greet event and at a fish fry,
both in the Midlands of South Carolina, according to Kristin Sosanie, a party spokeswoman.
O’Malley has helped Sheheen out previously, hosting a fundraiser for his campaign in Charleston in early May.
O’Malley’s latest South Carolina trip is part of a busy stretch of travel for the Maryland governor, who also plans to be in
New Hampshire, the nation’s first presidential nominating state, later this month.
O’Malley has said he is moving forward with preparations for a possible White House bid regardless of whether Hillary
Rodham Clinton decides to run for the Democratic nomination. Clinton is in Iowa this weekend for the first time in six
years.
In South Carolina, Sheheen, a state senator, faces incumbent Gov. Nikki Haley in November.

How Bernie Sanders’ Campaign ‘Disappointed And Offended’ Nevada’s Most Powerful Union
BY ALICE OLLSTEIN
JAN 28, 2016 3:16 PM
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a town hall meeting at the Culinary Workers Union Tuesday, March 31, 2015, in
Las Vegas.
Reports surfaced Thursday alleging that campaign employees of Sen. Bernie Sanders (l-VT) had posed as hotel workers on
the Las Vegas Strip in order to preach to members of the Culinary Union — one of the biggest and most politically influential
unions in the key early caucus state.
The Culinary Union confirmed the reports, telling ThinkProgress in a statement that the campaign's actions left them
"disappointed and offended."
"It's completely inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of

work," said the union's Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline. "We strongly condemn anyone falsifying their affiliation
with the Culinary Union in order to gain access to properties and we will cooperate with casinos and hotels so that this matter
is fully resolved."
Sanders campaign workers visited four unionized hotels. The Rio, Paris, The Mirage and Planet Hollywood, and by wearing the
union's iconic yellow button, accessed employee dining rooms to speak with and give Sanders literature to workers.
The Sanders campaign did not respond to inquires from ThinkProgress about the incident.
In 2008, the Culinary Union endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, though Clinton went on to win the popular vote in
the state.
This year, the union says it will not make an endorsement in the primaries. Instead, they will focus on making sure as many
of their 57,000 members as possible are registered to vote and trained the caucus process. Many members are naturalized
U.S. citizens who will be voting for the first time this year.
In this election cycle, both Sanders and Clinton have sought endorsements from unions on the national and local level. Some,
including National Nurses United . American Postal Workers Union, and Iowa’s Steelworkers Union came out for Sanders,
while the massive Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and American Federation of Teachers were among several
endorsing Clinton so far.
Until now, Nevada's Culinary Union has maintained a good relationship with all three Democratic candidates, who have all
traveled to the state to speak , and in some cases march, with hotel workers.
Instead of choosing and stumping for one candidate, the union says it is putting its energy into fighting organizing battles at
several Vegas establishments, including at the hotel run by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump .

Questions raised on authorship of chemicals
bill
By David McCumber
March 16, 2015
WASHINGTON — It’s certainly well-known in Washington that when it comes to the making of
the sausage, lobbyists frequently have their thumbs in the pork. But usually, they don’t actually
leave their electronic signatures on bills.
The elaborately titled Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act makes its debut at a
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee healing Wednesday. It’s a high-stakes bill: If it
becomes law, it would be the first update in 39 years of federal regulation of toxic substances like
asbestos, formaldehyde and hundreds of other che mi cals.
hi recent days, a draft of the bill — considered the product of more than two years of negotiation and
collaboration between Sen. David Vitter, R-La., Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., and both chemical industry
and environmental groups — was circulated by Udall ’s office ahead of the healing. The draft bill, obtained
by Hearst Newspapers, is in the form of a Microsoft Word document. Rudimentary digital forensics —
going to “advanced properties” in Word — shows the “company” of origin to be the American Chemistry
Council.
The ACC, as the council is known, is the leading trade organization and lobbyist for the chemical industry.
And opponents of the Vitter-Udall bill have pounced on the document’s digital fingerprints to make the
point that they believe the bill favors industry far too much.
“We’re apparently at the point in the minds of some people in the Congress that laws intended to regulate
polluters are now written by the polluters themselves,” said Ken Cook, president of the Environmental

Working Group, who will testify against the bill at Wednesday’s hearing.
“Call me old-fashioned, but a bill to protect the public from harmful chemicals should not be
written by chemical industry lobbyists. The voices of our fam ili es must not be drowned out by the
very industry whose documented harmful impacts must be addressed, or the whole exercise is a
sham,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Monday.
Boxer, who chaired the committee when the Democrats held the majority, and Sen. Edward
Markey, D-Mass., have introduced an alternative version of the bill with much more stringent
regulatory provisions.
Udall’s office was a little indignant and somewhat embarrassed Monday. “That document originated in our
office,” said Udall’s communications director, Jennifer Talhelm. “It was shared with a number of
stakeholders including at least one other senator’s office. One of those stakeholders was the ACC.
“We believe that somebody at the ACC saved the document, and sent it back to us,” Talhelm said,
accounting for the digital trail. “Sen. Udall’s office has been very, very engaged with bringing various
stakeholders to the table as part of the process of writing the best possible bill,” Talhelm added. “This is
just one example.”
Earlier this month, a New York Times story detailed Udall’s alliance with the che mi cal industry on the bill.
In that story, ACC President Cal Dooley, a former California Democratic congressman, said “the
leadership (Udall) is providing is absolutely critical” to the industry.
On Monday, ACC spokeswoman and vice president An ne Kolter said, “It doesn’t mean the original
document was generated here. Anyone could have put that (digital signature) in there. You could change
it.”
Asked if that meant she was denying ACC wrote the document, she said, “I have no idea. ... There’s no
way for anyone to tell.”
“You’re not the first reporter to ask about this,” she said. “We’ve been able to raise enough questions”
that nobody else has written about it, she added.
Cook of the Environmental Working Group said the copy of the draft he received bore the same
electronic signature, and a Boxer staffer on the committee confirmed that their copy did as
well. A Senate IT staffer told Boxer’s office, “We can confidently say that the document was
created by a user with American Chemistry Council. Their name is specified as Author and their
Organization is specified as American Chemistry Council.”
The Vitter-Udall version of the bill is expected to gain enough bipartisan support to pass out of committee
to the Senate floor.
The bill’s fate from there is uncertain, and some of the Boxer-Markey provisions could possibly
be included in the final bill.

In its current form, the bill is opposed by many environmental, health and labor organizations and several
states, because it would gut state chemical regulations.

FYI, we lost Bill Ritter as a senior partner for our Energy, Climate, and Environment group. The folks at the

Thank you for seeing me today John. Attached is an electronic version of the memo I left with you. I am going to
send you one other short document now, laying out the campaign against the WSJournal and Fox that I do have
some money pledged towards. Good luck in your transition. David

Huma ,
Following up on our conversation , some observations and suggestions.
The observations are anecdotal , if you agree with them you can either accept them or data test them through research.
When President Clinton ran for office in 1992 an new generation of "bundlers" emerged. They had been just below the surface
Learning the business in the 1988 campaign(Terry McCauliffe and David Jones with Gephardt ;Peter knight , Ken Jarin ,Alan
Kessler, Gordon Giffin , Vance Opperman , Elizabeth Bagley, Pam Eakes, yours truly and others with Gore, Michael Adler with
Biden, Bob Farmer and Marvin Rosen with Dukakis, )and in 92 fully emerged to put a new generation of leadership into office.
David Wilhelm , Rahm Emmanuel, George Stephanopoulos, Michael Whouley ., Paul Carey , Regina Montoya , emerged in the 92
campaign along with a new infusion of time line younger fundraisers like Jorge Perez, Chris Korge, Paul Cejas Clay
Constantine, Alan Solomont, Jack Rosen, Arthur Schechter...
There are others who came along Carol Penske., Beth Doesertz ,to name a few..
Kerry recruited a few new ones like Alex Heckler but essentially it was still the same group. ..Lew Solomon was always an
outlier
This group and others took rotating leadership roles in various important campaigns until 2008 ..
Then a new group of bundlers emerged in their late 30's and early 40's people like Matthew Barzun, Frank Sanchez, Henry
Munoz, Paula Boggs, Kurt Wagar, Suzie LeVine , Andrew Weinstein along with them a new group of political talent emerged
many of whom are currently employed by you. These types of individuals were not well represented on Thursday.
It seems to me that many more of your 100 plus bundlers must emerge from the 35 to 45 group. Ideally they should not be
legacies but individuals who are making their way up the latter to leadership in their communities and wish to promote large
amount of time and resources to this effort because they believe that the effort will insure a better future for their families,
businesses , communities and country will be well served by their effort here. They also wish to network with like -minded
entrepreneurial emerging professionals and business leaders. It is their networks, employees , business associates, that are
the back bones of communities day in and day out. The 55 plus crowd has money yes, but the 35 plus crowd makes or breaks
campaigns. They bring money , marbles and chalk. ..the whole package.
This group also needs to understand sending a group email is not the type of networking needed to bundle large sums of money
, unless the rules of fundraising for bundlers have completely changed during the last decade.
These platitudes aside ,
And you may have already given some thought to this and if you have , please forgive the redundancy.
If my observations present a concern -what can be done to attract the 35 plus bundler to this campaign

Some suggestions. Have your political staff who used to work for Obama identify the young Obama bundlers who did not
perform or underperformed to date, set time aside from the candidate and campaign leadership to meet with them and talk to
them separately. You might do a series of dinners with them in New Hampshire , Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada in which
they are invited to bring 10 k a piece. Theoretically , they would be asked to come to a primary /caucus state to engage taking
less of the candidates time while giving them a unique experience to
Meet the local staff on the ground and talk to HRC in a primary ,or caucus setting; this should be done by specific word of
mouth invitation and emphasize it is for those who bundled large sums in the past but have not yet fully participated in the
2016 campaign .Preferably everyone in the room would be under 45 who has come to meet HRC and by coming they show they
would like to be persuaded to be more engaged. By keeping the meetings word of mouth it will add to the exclusivity and
importance of them.
Identify the new performers and promote them .Have your staff Identify the next generation of fundraisers those who have
raised in the 27k range and are 35 to 45 years old .Have them mentored by your established fundraisers. Arrange small
dinners for them with your established fundraisers so Ideas can be exchanged on how the established fundraisers can teach
the 35 to 45 year olds to access their emerging networks.
Over the next three months try to set aside time for the underperforming Obama bundlers and the emerging 35 year olds
(preferably non legacies) with HRC as she travels to their communities. Either around an event or separate OTR's .Make sure
when this happens it is with this group exclusively.
Obviously the top line narrative of the campaign cannot be experience alone to attract this group. Since the beginning of time,
This group has always been a disruptive group ... It is my gut feeling that the uniqueness of the possibility of having first
woman president resonates much more with the 55 plus set than the 35 plus set
And this group always thinks youth and enthusiasm is more valuable than age and experience. Clinton 92 , Obama
08. Reagan, the exception as I understand it did attract a youthful group of financial backers(lt's morning in
America...), although I am not intimate with the particulars of the Reagan campaign having worked for Carter.
I end where I began, while not a precise statistical indicator, an anecdotal indicator to me in a Presidential campaign(Carter
Staff 1975) is where the young entrepreneurial money is going. I believe there are ways to promote the campaign to be more
accessible to this money which will have intangible political benefits.
For what it's worth...
Of course it goes without saying , but should still be said 47 million is a phenomenal start. Congratulations to all. These
observations are made to be disregarded if considered as critical or unhelpful or to be accepted to the extent they are found to
be helpful as part of a team effort.
Thank you all for your great effort on behalf of the country and my family and me.

I just sent these notes to Nikki, but two pieces.
1) We should add a note on ACA. 1199 is first and foremost a health care union and is extremely proud of the
work members did to help pass and defend the ACA.
2) We should add some note on home care, keying off the home care event that she did in CA. I believe

Blumenthal Deposition Transcript Ready for
Release
Jun 19, 2015
Press Release
Democrats Renew Call to #ReleasetheTranscript; Details Revealed About Republican
Questioning
WASHINGTON — Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on
Benghazi, issued the following statement after Sidney Blumenthal’s attorneys completed their review of the
transcript of his deposition, making technical corrections and taking other steps to prepare it for public
release:
“Now that Mr. Blumenthal’s attorneys have completed their review, the American people can
read for themselves his responses to hundreds of questions Republicans posed during their
day-long session. The transcript reveals exactly how Republicans are spending your taxpayer
dollars — investigating Secretary Clinton and her personal relationships rather than the attacks
in Benghazi. Over the past week, the Select Committee has become a sieve, with anonymous
‘sources’ repeatedly leaking selected excerpts of Mr. Blumenthal’s emails out of context. It’s
time to end this circus. The Committee should immediately release all of Mr. Blumenthal’s
emails and his full deposition transcript together.”
On Wednesday, Cummings and all Committee Democrats sent a letter calling on Gowdy to release
Blumenthal’s deposition transcript at the same time as his emails. Gowdy claimed had to be “convinced” about
why he should treat Blumenthal differently since he has released no other interview transcripts to date.
Democrats responded that Gowdy is the one treating Blumenthal differently — by releasing emails only from
him and no other witnesses, by forcing him to appear at a mandatory deposition unlike all other witnesses,
and by sending armed Marshals to his home to serve a subpoena even though he was always willing to
cooperate.
Republican Deposition Questions — By The Numbers
The transcript of Blumenthal’s deposition includes hundreds of questions posed by Republicans during the
day-long session, including the following:
• Blumenthal’s relationship/communications with the Clintons — more than 1 60
• Benghazi attacks - less than 20
• The Clinton Foundation — more than 50
• Security in Benghazi — 4
• Blumenthal’s alleged business activities in Libya — more than 270
• The U.S. presence in Benghazi — 0
• David Brock, Media Matters, and affiliated entities — more than 45
• Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel in Benghazi — 0
Updated: Mr. Blumenthal's counsel sent a letter to the Select Committee today urging Chairman Gowdy to
release the deposition transcript immediately in light of the numerous and inaccurate leaks from the Committee
that are “creating an incomplete and unfair narrative about the deposition, Mr. Blumenthal’s knowledge about
Libya, and the tragedy occurred in Benghazi.”

Hey
Any word - based on your public liaison conversations - about protocol on public speaking (and media) requests?
Second, are you OK with Lisa being on the Friday call? It would be helpful vis a vis the tic toe discussion and Agency team management.
Finally, I know you're swamped with this stuff, so thanks for working through our agency teams. Being able to give folks some of the cleared names
has been helpful - there's a lot of scratching at the door (they may hold Lisa's kid hostage next). Let us know if there's something we can do as

Subject: E&E News story on Alberta's Carbon Policies
POLICY:
Oil sands province considers carbon tax overhaul
Published: Monday, March 23, 2015
Lawmakers in Alberta are considering upgrading its current carbon tax policy to one that is broader in nature, a move that could improve the
region's environmental credibility.
Last week, Municipal Affairs Minister Diana McQueen was appointed to lead the debate on revamping the policy. Since 2007, large
emissions producers like oil sands and power producers are required to pay $1 5 per metric ton of carbon produced past their facility limit,
purchase offsets or reduce their emissions. About $500 million has been collected from the tax so far and can be used toward emissions-
reduction technologies.
Since emissions have continued to grow in Alberta, the province has not received a lot of credit for this policy on the international stage,
according to Financial Post columnist Claudia Cattaneo.
"I think Alberta knows, and the government knows, that its current system is not a perfect system," said Chris Ragan, an associate
professor of economics at McGill University in Montreal and head of Canada's Ecofiscal Commission. "There is a belief that Alberta can do
better in terms of designing a system with better coverage ... that might improve its credibility. And that might feed positively on the market-
access issue for getting Alberta's products to market."
The tax has not been overhauled in part because of the collapse of oil prices, but talks are currently underway with multiple stakeholder
groups. A broader carbon tax, similar to that of British Columbia, would have support from both the oil community and environmental lobby,
Cattaneo wrote.
If the policy was expanded to tax consumers, such as in the form of a gasoline tax, for example, experts said that would decrease
pressure to increase taxes for large emitters.
"For good policy on carbon pricing, we need to look further west, at British Columbia," said Amin Asadollahi, program director at the
environmental think tank Pembina Institute. "Their emissions have gone down, while their [gross domestic product] has grown, and what
they did was economywide carbon pricing."
He said Alberta could start with a low carbon price and gradually increase it. The type of policy would encourage industry to innovate and
make it more resilient, while also recycling money back into the local economy, Cattaneo wrote (Claudia Cattaneo, Financial Post , March
19). -BP

Subject: Big Oil's Blank Check
LEAGUE OF
Dear John:
In January, Big Oil was handed a gift that will help them try to fill Congress with their cronies.
A disastrous Supreme Court ruling has removed any
restrictions on how much money big corporations like
ExxonMobil can spend to elect their friends and defeat our
allies in Congress.
This means that profit-driven Big Polluters can now spend unlimited
amounts on elections, drowning out the voices of the majority of
Americans who support clean energy and a healthy environment.
Congress must rectify this issue right away. Will you contact your
members of Congress to insist they pass legislation
reinstating corporate spending limits on elections?
Click here to demand that Congress take swift action.
We know that Big Oil has deep pockets. Now, this ruling has allowed them to dig even deeper to influence
elections, and destroy our clean energy future in the process.
Consider what kind of damage this ruling could cause: In the 2007-2008 election cycle, before this
catastrophic Supreme Court ruling, ExxonMobil spent just $800,000 on election activities due to existing
restrictions. With these limits no longer in place, Exxon’s record-breaking profits could be tapped without
restraint. If Exxon diverted just two percent of their $45 billion in 2008 profits to electoral activities, they
could outspend the Obama and McCain campaigns combined.
We can’t let this stand.
Send an urgent message to your members of Congress right away.
This Supreme Court decision is part of the disastrous legacy of one of Big Oil’s best friends - George W.
Bush. It was Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, Bush-appointed justices, who were the key swing
votes in this outrageous decision.
President Obama criticized this ruling in his State of the Union address, saying it would “open the
floodgates for special interests” to spend without limits in our elections, and called on Congress to pass a
bill that fixes this wrong-headed decision.
Please, take a minute to contact your members of Congress now.
After you take action, please spread the word. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President

Guys —
ODNI called. According to the ODNI representative, the President himself directed that zero staff attend the PBD
with PE Obama. As official designees are named - NSA, CoS etc - they are welcome to be read into the brief.
They also added that PE Obama was welcome to discuss this issue + the contents of the PDB with he meets w/
POTUS.
I took the message on board and said I would consult w/ higher and be back in touch.
I supposed we have a few COAs:
--proceed w/ briefing
--pull down brief
--John call Josh Bolten and discuss
My sense is to go with #1 for now, but this is well beyond my area of expertise - if such a thing even exists in the
firstplace.
Best,
Mark

Subject: [big campaign] Wonk Room: McCain would create biggest debt since WWII
New report from the Wonk Room. Great charts and the full analysis at the link.
-AJ
McCain’s Budget Would Create Largest Deficit In 25 Years. Largest
Debt Since WWII»
Sen. John McCain promises that, as president, he would “cut taxes and balance the budget.” But his current
economic plan would create deficits as deep as 5.7% of GDP by the end of a two term presidency — the highest
federal budget deficit in 25 years — and would accumulate the biggest debt since the second World War,
according to a new analysis by the Center for American Progress Action Fund. McCain’s current fiscal plan
would recklessly exacerbate the fiscal irresponsibility of the Bush Administration further by gutting revenues far
below the average level of the past 25 years.
For the past 25 years, deficits have never been more severe than 5% of GDP, with surpluses as high as
2.4% of GDP in the year 2000. Under McCain, yearly deficits would increase sharply, beginning with $505 billion
in FY2009 (3.4% of GDP) and skyrocket to $1 .2 trillion (5.7% of GDP) by FY2017. In 2018 these deficits would
reach 6% of GDP, tied with the largest deficits since WW2 in 1983. Current Bush policies would keep the
deficit in 201 7 to $660 billion (3. 1 % of GDP).
According to the study, McCain’s economic plan, (which includes a corporate tax cut, a full repeal of the AMT,
and an extension of the Bush tax cuts) would leave a debt of $12.7 trillion (the highest since 1951 when
America was still holding debt from WW2) by the last budget of a two term presidency starting in 2009 (FY2017).
This debt is $3.5 trillion more severe than the one resulting from an extension of current Bush policy, which
would leave a debt of $9.2 trillion (43% of projected GDP).
McCain would slash government revenues, which have averaged 18.3% of GDP for the past 25 years, to their
lowest levels since before 1962. Revenues would average only 16.3 percent of GDP for the duration of his two
terms. Under current Bush policy, revenues would remain above 18 percent of GDP.
This analysis currently incorporates the most generous possible savings McCain has offered thus far: an $18
billion cut of wasteful earmarks and a $15 billion “freeze” in wasteful spending, with the savings grown at the rate
of GDP growth over his presidency. These “savings,” which come no where near paying for his reckless tax cuts,
already include “ heavy cuts in after-school programs, student aid, public broadcasting, and job training.” To
fill the gaping remaining hole, McCain supporters have suggested policies that would lead to “ massive cuts ” in
Social Security.

When I voted against Paul Ryan's disastrous budget, I

The Ryan Budget is wrong, plain and simple, so I was
proud to join Democrats and Republicans in
opposing it. But GOP extremists are bent on seeing
this budget passed and they’ll stop at nothing. That's
why I'm teaming up with the New York House
delegation to stop Ryan and his allies from dismantling Medicare.
But we can’t do it alone. If we’re going to fight the T ea Party to protect Medicare,
we need every single voice we can to show that public opinion is on our side.
We need you. Today.

the Rvan Budget goes any further.
These new attack ads are lambasting me for voting against a “balanced budget.” But
there’s nothing balanced about the Ryan Budget, which gives tax breaks to the GOP donor
base, all at the expense of seniors, women and middle-class families.
I voted “NO” on the Ryan Budget, and I’d do it all over again. But we can’t let Paul Ryan and
House Republicans get away with gutting Medicare for seniors. My colleagues and I
are doing all we can to stop these cuts, but we can’t fight this battle alone.
We need you with us, right now.
Stand with us: help us stop Medicare cuts by adding vour name to our
petition here.
Thank you for keeping up the fight,
Sean

Subject: An Efficient Farewell
Dear Georgetown Family,
I promised myself that if I ever left this wondrous, beautiful place, my message to the entire school would be as brief and concise
as possible. So here's a list of preemptive answers to questions that are most likely to be asked:
1. On January 4th I will have left Georgetown to become the Assistant Dean of Career Services at Floward University School of
Law.
2. My last day at Georgetown is technically December 31st, but I will be physically on-campus until December 22nd.
3. I will be receiving High-Fives in lieu of a party.
You are all forever in my heart and I thank you for some of the greatest years of my life.
Happy Holidays and New Year,
Neil

[big campaign] Attention DREAMers: Share your inspiring educator story, be chosen to come to
U ^ eC ' Washington, DC!
The National Education Association is challenging DREAMer students from across the nation to join the fight for commonsense
immigration reform by sharing their stories.
NEA is calling on DREAMer students to share how they were inspired by their teacher, counselor or other educator to pursue their
dreams regardless of where they were born.
NEA will select a DREAMer with a compelling story to fly to Washington, D.C., where members of Congress are debating how to fix
the nation’s broken immigration system. The selected DREAMer will participate in the April 10 “All in for Citizenship March.”
The deadline is 11:59 p.m. EST Wednesday, March 27

Hi Matt, Julie Pace from the AP here. I'm writing a profile on John Podesta as he transitions out of the White House
and into a possible role on an HRC campaign, if there ends up being a campaign. I was wondering if President
Clinton might want to provide a statement on John given their long working relationship.
Happy to fill you in on more details about the story. It will likely run this weekend.
Thanks,
Julie

I've been speaking with Maya. Best if she says something to a reporter herself. She could call Chris

Second best is put out a statement on paper. Either from her or you or Jen. I could help write it.
Third option, possible for somebody to call a reporter on her behalf. Call someone with whom we have
a relationship and explain, or I could call and try to explain it but this is definitely not as good as the

John --
I want you to be the first to know that we had our best quarter yet. Thanks to you, we raised close to $300,000 --
more than fifty percent over our last quarter.
Everyone on our campaign is extremely grateful for everything you're helping us achieve:
• 12 people in 1 1 offices, contacting tens of thousands of voters per month;
• More than 400 campaign stops throughout the district;
• Powerful ads that offer a choice between a leading patriot and a corporate congressman;
• More literature, signage and websites, including stoppingthehurt.com
This race is way more important than just another seat in Congress. President Obama and Governor Kaine need
General Douglass in the Democratic majority. Holding back risks falling short -- will vou go all in for
the good of our country today?
Every contribution will help get us closer
On to Victory,
Gary
P.S. We have some real momentum heading into the final month of the election. But our
opponent still has corporate cronies, like the Koch Brothers, who are bankrolling even more
attacks on General Douglass's patriotism. Go all in with a contribution today.
Paid for by John Douglass for
Congress

What are the chances of you all being able to get him a car at 4:30 pm to JFK? I can book one on his personal, but
he wanted to know if it's an option. If he has to catch a cab, he will need to leave a little earlier than 4:30 pm, says
he. I already have his boarding pass printed.
Are there print capabilities today if John's advisor needs to send him an updated speech? Totally fine if not, we'd

Backbone Campaign ■
PS: If you appreciate Backbone supporting crucial issues like this with our array of creative tactics and organizing
experience, pitch-in HERE
Forward Together!
Friend —
#Winning: NWIW, the company that was steamrolling a proposal for the world's largest Methanol Refinery through Tacoma, is now running
scared by the mounting opposition to this ill-conceived petrochemical refinery and has issued a plea to pause the environmental review.
Instead, we call on the city of Tacoma to fully cease the review and outright abandon the project!
This is a huge victory for "We The People!"
This announcement underscores the powerful potential of ordinary people taking action to protect what they love. We need not settle for false
solutions to our climate or economic woes. The regulations engineered by corporate interests have never been sufficient to create the world
we deserve. It takes ordinary people like yourselves taking action to revive our democracy back to life and deliver the brighter future we need.
I A/e've shown this dangerous project isn't a done deal. Now, get active to ensure there's #No253Refinery and join the call for a safe
and sustainable vision for our future that we can all be prooud of!!!
Sign the Pledge of Action at http://NoMethanol.ora
Backbone is proud and privileged to collaborate with dedicated concerned community members in Tacoma and beyond. RedlineTacoma.org
has been leading this effort. From packing scoping hearings, overpass light brigades, to community art builds and more, it's exciting to witness
new found friends invigorate and grow this community.

OBAMA Q BIDEN
John --
Republicans are taking the podium at their convention today, and millions of people will start paying attention to this race for the
first time.
The message they'll hear will mirror the distortions Governor Romney has based his entire campaign on -- amplified 10,000
times.
They're going to talk about the economy, but they won't mention that their $5 trillion plan gives big tax breaks to people who don't
need them. They won't mention their plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system that could cost seniors up to $6,400 more per
year. They'll talk a lot about strengthening the middle class, when their plan is to do the opposite: repeal Obamacare, cut Pell
Grant scholarships and Head Start funding, and raise taxes on the average family.
Donate $5 or more today and make sure we have the resources we need to fight back.
There are very real and important differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, and we're going to keep pointing them
out. But we've been outraised three months in a row, and now we're getting outspent on the air by as much as three to one in
some battleground states.
The other side is banking on their TV ads to be louder than any organizer we've got on the phones and on folks' doorsteps.
That's what we're fighting this week.
We need to be ready. Make a donation of $5 or more today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/This-Week
This week is going to remind us all that we're on the team that fights for everyone, not just those at the top. We're the campaign
that's having an honest debate about the issues that matter to American families.
Thanks.

Rarely have I seen one person make such a big difference in such a short space of time. Thank you for all that
you did on climate, from China and India to the Clean Power Plan, and all that you did to teach the Prez to use
his executive authority and his veto power, and to draw lines about what was and what was not negotiable. I
don’t think it was a coincidence that on your watch we saw him respond so differently to the 2014 election than
he had to the 2010 election. Quite a contrast between the Budget Control Act negotiation and the Executive
Actions and veto threats he issued in November of 2014!
What an amazing set of accomplishments you put in place during this tour of duty! I know too that there will be
many more to come in the two years ahead because of what you did in the last year. Though overused by the
younger generation, the word “awesome” is fully applicable to what you accomplished at the White House.

[big campaign] McCain: Not an Agent of Change, Just Like Bush
McSame as Bush Political Argument.doc
McCain: Not an Agent of Change, Not a Different Kind of Republican - Just Like Bush
Tonight, Senator McCain travels to Louisiana to give a major address where he will try to paint himself as an agent of change and “a different
kind of Republican. ” But McCain is not “a different kind of Republican, ” - he is just like Bush.
Attached is a document on McCain offering a third term of Bush. We are in the process of putting up more Bush/McCain documents on a range
of issues on McCainSource.com - check back soon for more info.
McCain is just like Bush - or worse - on the issues. McCain has supported Bush 1 00% of the time this year. According to
Congressional Quarterly, McCain supported President Bush a majority of the time — supporting Bush as much as 1 00 percent in 2008 and
95 percent in 2007. [CQ Voting Studies, Accessed, 5/1 5/08]
o McCain is Bush’s strongest supporter of the war in Iraq - and is even more hawkish.
o McCain will escalate Bush’s failed economic plan - more tax cuts for big corporations and millionaires and little for the middle class.
o On issue after issue - Social Security, judges, trade, taxes - McCain offers more failed Bush policies.
Like Bush, McCain’s campaign is run by lobbyists, for lobbyists. McCain has had 126 lobbyists running his campaign and raising
money for him. McCain’s lobbyists, including his campaign manager and top adviser, have made millions representing big oil, insurance
companies and foreign dictators, instead of families.
Hours after Katrina had made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, and after the levees had breached.. ..John McCain and President Bush were
enjoying birthday cake for McCain 's 69th birthday.

Subject: [big campaign] Making the Chamber foreign money story stick to Boehner
All,
We just sent out a release and a backgrounder to reporters in advance of Boehner's speech in Ohio today. Anything you all can
do to amply this would be great.
Here are five questions for Boehner: http://campaignmonevwatch.com/medicenter/five-questions-for-boehner
Here is the release: http://campaignmonevwatch.com/mediacenter/boehner-chamber-advertising
DD
Five Questions for Mr. Boehner About Corporate and Foreign Money in Our
Elections
To: Reporters
From: David Donnelly, Director, Campaign Money Watch
Date: October 8, 2010
Background
Rep. Boehner will speak today at a manufacturing plant in West Chester, OH that is owned by United Group Services. The owners
of the plant are all long-time donors to Boehner and other Republicans. As Roll Call reported today < http://www.rollcall.com/
news/50590-1. html > , "Mark Mosley, Daniel Freese and Kevin Sell, three top executives at the [United Groups Services], have
contributed thousands to Boehner as well as other Republican candidates, according to Federal Election Commission records."
All week long, there have been questions raised about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce receiving foreign corporate dues and buying
attacks ads against Democrats with funds that could include this money. When asked questions about the commingling of
foreign and domestic dues, a Chamber spokeswoman said, "We don't feel obligated to answer that."
At least 22 Republican House candidates are benefiting from nearly $5 million in advertising this week from the Chamber.
Outside special interest groups are not required to disclose their donors because the DISCLOSE Act was opposed by Republicans
in Congress. These groups are spending tens of millions of dollars, overwhelmingly largely for Republicans.
Questions
Rep. Boehner, as a leader of his party, ought to answer questions from the media regarding what he thinks of the outside money
in general and the possibility that the Chamber is using foreign corporate dues to fund its multi-million dollar ad buys. Here are
five questions:
1 . Do you believe special interest groups - Democratic or Republican - should be able to spend unlimited sums in elections
anonymously without accountability?
2. Do you believe the Chamber should provide evidence that the foreign money it raises isn't funding ads?
3. If the Republicans take the House, can you give us any major policy matter that you'd oppose the Chamber on, or are the
Chamber and Republican leadership in lockstep together?
4. If you become speaker, what legislation will you advance to ensure elections are transparent?
5. Do you think it's right that an organization like the Chamber that supports outsourcing of jobs is also apparently
outsourcing funding for its operation?
These questions, obviously, are not exhaustive. But we encourage members of the news media to find out what the man who
wants to be Speaker thinks about the influence of corporate money in the 2010 elections.

money; sends letters to five Democratic House members
Washington, DC - Stepping up its pressure on candidates benefiting from controversial political spending by the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, the nonpartisan Campaign Money Watch called on Republican Minority Leader John Boehner and five congressional
Democrats to speak out against the use of foreign corporate money in the elections.
The move came one day after the group sent letters to 31 separate federal candidates to urge them to tell the Chamber to pull
advertising in their races because of the controversy surrounding the Chamber's acceptance of foreign corporate money into the
same account from which it makes political advertising expenditures.
"John Boehner is auditioning to lead the People's House, but if he gets that job, it will be largely because these elections were
bought with special interest money," said David Donnelly, Campaign Money Watch's Director. "If John Boehner wants to show
he's a true leader, he will speak out today about the foreign corporate money raised by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce - an
organization that is spending tens of millions to give him the gavel. To not do so can only be understood as acquiescing to the
hijacking of our elections by corporate special interests, or the buying of his silence.
"Whether we are Democrats, Republicans, or independents, we can all agree that foreign corporate money has no role in our
elections," continued Donnelly. "All candidates benefiting from the Chamber's spending - including the five Democrats for whom
the Chamber began advertising yesterday - should speak out."
The U.S. Chamber reportedly began advertising yesterday to promote the candidacies of five Democrats: Reps. Frank Kratovil (MD-
01), Bobby Bright (AL-02), Glenn Nye (VA-02), Dan Boren (OK-02), and John Barrows (GA-12).
"After spending $10.5 million earlier this week attacking Democrats, it will be interesting to note how much the Chamber is
spending in these five districts praising them," Donnelly said.
Of the five, Rep. Kratovil is the only cosponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act (HR 6116), which would place elections into the
hands of everyday voters. All five Democrats voted against the DISCLOSE Act, which would have required that the sources of the
funding of the advertising now running in their districts was made publicly available.

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
STATEMENT ON HIV AND AIDS
Yesterday, at Nancy Reagan’s funeral, I said something inaccurate when speaking about the
Reagans’ record on HIV and AIDS. Since then. I’ve heard from countless people who were
devastated by the loss of friends and loved ones, and hurt and disappointed by what I said,
and I understand why. I made a mistake, plain and simple.
I want to use this opportunity to talk not only about where we’ve come from but where we
must go in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
To be clear, the Reagans did not start a national conversation about HIV and AIDS.
Unfortunately, the opposite was true. That distinction belongs to generations of brave men
and women who started not just a conversation but a movement that continues to this day.
The AIDS crisis in America began as a quiet, deadly epidemic. Because of discrimination and
disregard, it remained that way for far too long. When many in positions of power turned a
blind eye, it was groups like ACT UP, Gay Men’s Health Crisis and others that came forward
to shatter the silence. They organized and marched, held die-ins on the steps of city halls and
vigils in the streets. They fought alongside a few courageous voices in Washington, like U.S.
Representative Henry Waxman, who spoke out from the floor of Congress.
Then there were all the people whose names we don’t often hear today - the unsung heroes
who fought on the frontlines of the crisis, from hospital wards and bedsides, some with their
last breath. Slowly, too slowly, ignorance was crowded out by information. People who had
once closed their eyes opened their hearts.
If not for those advocates, activists and ordinary, heroic people, we would not be where we
are in preventing and treating HIV and AIDS. Their courage - and their refusal to accept
silence as the status quo - saved lives.
We’ve come a long way. But we still have work to do to eradicate this disease for good and
to erase the stigma that is an echo of a shameful and painful period in our country’s history.
This issue is important to me. At the 1992 Democratic National Convention, when my
husband accepted the nomination for president, we marked a break with the past by having
two HIV-positive speakers — the first time that ever happened at a national convention. As
First Lady, I brought together world leaders to strategize and coordinate efforts to take on
HIV and AIDS around the world. In the Senate, I put forward legislation to expand global
AIDS research and assistance and to increase prevention and education. And as Secretary of
State, I launched a campaign to usher in an AIDS-free generation through prevention and
treatment, targeting the populations at greatest risk of contracting HIV.

The AIDS crisis looks very different today. There are more options for treatment and
prevention than ever before. More people with HIV are leading full and happy lives. But HIV
and AIDS are still with us. They continue to disproportionately impact communities of color,
transgender people, young people and gay and bisexual men. There are still 1 .2 million
people living with HIV in the United States today, with about 50,000 people newly
diagnosed each year. In Sub-Saharan Africa, almost 60 percent of people with HIV are women
and girls. Even though the tools exist to end this epidemic once and for all, there are still far
too many people dying today. That is absolutely inexcusable.
I believe there’s even more we can - and must - do together. For starters, let’s continue to
increase HIV and AIDS research and invest in the promising innovations that research is
producing. Medications like PrEP are proving effective in preventing HIV infection; we
should expand access to that drug for everyone, including at-risk populations. We should
call on Republican governors to put people’s health and well-being ahead of politics and
extend Medicaid, which would provide healthcare to those with HIV and AIDS. We should
call on states to reform outdated and stigmatizing HIV criminalization laws. We should
increase funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). And we
should cap out-of-pocket expenses and drug costs, and hold companies like Turing and
Valeant accountable when they attempt to gouge patients by jacking up the price of
lifesaving medications.
We’re still surrounded by memories of loved ones lost and lives cut short. But we’re also
surrounded by survivors who are fighting harder than ever. We owe it to them and to future
generations to continue that fight together. For the first time, an AIDS-free generation is in
sight. As president, I promise you that I will not let up until we reach that goal. We will not
leave anyone behind.

Subject: Why the Times is wrong
2#12
BARACKOBAMA.COM
John --
This weekend, The New York Times Magazine ran a long analysis of the 2012 election headlined, "Is
Obama toast?"
It uses a mathematical formula to conclude who will win this race.
In other words, it says neither you nor Barack Obama has a role to play in this election, because the
outcome is essentially predetermined.
We disagree.
The outcome will depend on what we do every single day between now and November 6th, 2012.
And I want to give you an idea of how we know that.
Our Republican opponents, from Mitt Romney and Herman Cain to Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann,
have endorsed the same set of Tea Party policies that drive the Republicans in Washington: letting Wall
Street write its own rules again and giving special treatment to millionaires and billionaires while asking seniors and middle-class families to pay for it.
All of them would return to the failed economic policies that led us into recession.
Yet the Times piece assigns each of them a score on an ideological scale, ignoring the obvious reality that there has been virtually no difference
among the GOP candidates -- or between them and the Republican congressional leaders who refuse to do anything to restore economic security for
the middle class.
Whoever wins the nomination will no doubt try to appear more "moderate'' as they compete for undecided voters in the general election. But they have
all made their positions clear. And we will hold them accountable for that.
The only true difference in this race is between their agenda and President Obama's. Facing historic challenges when he came into office, he has
fought every day for a fairer economy where everybody who does their fair share gets a fair shake.
He's stood up to credit card companies to ensure they can't target consumers with hidden fees. He's stood up to insurance companies, who can no
longer deny health care coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition. He's stood up to Wall Street to end taxpayer bailouts and rein in the kind of
risky financial behavior that nearly toppled our economy.
These dramatic differences between the Republican nominee and President Obama will be crystal clear to Americans as the 2012 election
approaches, because our grassroots organization in all 50 states will be having conversations every single day with their friends, families, co-workers,
and neighbors.
That grassroots organizational advantage is a critical factor in this election that the 77mes'"formula" doesn't consider at all.
More than 1 million people have already taken ownership of this campaign. Millions more are organizing their communities on behalf of the President,
online and off. This weekend, we had our single biggest day of action of the campaign -- more than 2,000 volunteer events took place across the
country, and more than 10,000 volunteers participated.
This work is already having an impact across the country.
We expanded the electoral map in the last election, fighting hard for -- and winning — states like North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia so that the
entire election didn't hinge on the results in a single state, as it had in 2000 and 2004.
We have no intention of returning to the old electoral map. And the organizing you're doing means we won't have to. Today, we are showing signs of
strength in states we didn't win even in the watershed election of 2008 — states like Georgia and Arizona, where a recent poll had President Obama
beating every potential Republican nominee.
The map isn't as friendly to our opponents, who won't be able to compete in traditionally Democratic states because their organization won't compare
to ours. Whether you measure donors giving or doors knocked, there's grassroots enthusiasm for President Obama that the other side can't match -- but
that the Times doesn't consider relevant.

The truth is this isn't the first time you've been written out of the story by many in Washington and the media — and it's not the first time they've been
completely wrong about that.
In the 2007 and 2008 campaign, almost everyone in professional politics said it wasn't Barack Obama's "turn" to be president. But millions of people
like you took responsibility for the campaign -- knocking on doors, making phone calls, and donating whenever you could.
You proved everyone wrong -- not just about who was going to win the election, but about the ability of everyday Americans to come together
and change the course of history.
The entire premise of the Times article is that you won't -- and can't -- do it in 2012.
The election is now less than one year away. No one thinks it will be easy. But there can be no doubt its outcome depends on how hard you and I work
over the next 364 days. Right now, we're opening field offices in key states, hiring organizers, recruiting volunteers, registering voters, and getting ready
for what's going to be one hell of a fight.
So, is Obama toast? It's up to you.

Following up on our meeting at the YWCA in Manchester Friday

Adam Wood
Address: 120 Midland Street, Bridgeport, CT 06605 |Phone: 203-829-5222 |Email: adammwood@gmail.com
Dear John,
It was great to meet you in Manchester at the YWCA event for Hillary Clinton. I will continue to serve here as a
volunteer through election day on Tuesday. As we discussed, I am currently looking for work and have extensive
campaign experience. In 2008, I served as Co-Chair for Hillary's campaign in Connecticut.
I’m a results-oriented leader with fifteen years of professional management experience, and a proven track
record of accomplishment in development, communications and government relations. I’d love to bring my
expertise and enthusiasm to your team at Hillary for America.
Let me draw your attention to three reasons why you might want to bring me on board.
One, I have a proven track record of running Connecticut’s largest city for the past eight years. During this time,
Bridgeport’s city government focused on and achieved improving the city’s bond rating and finances, major
economic development projects, innovation and modernization, sustainability and improving communication and
civic engagement.
Two, I have a successful track record of and passion for development and fundraising. One of my first
development challenges came when I went to work with the Connecticut Democratic Party as Finance Director
with then-Chairman, now Attorney General George Jepsen. The party was in the red financially. I put together a
comprehensive fundraising plan including direct outreach from the Chairman, prospecting of new donors in the
corporate community and private sector, events, direct mail and electronic communications. The plan produced
the most successful fundraising events in the Democratic Party’s history to date. Events included former
President Clinton, Hillary Clinton and President Obama. The strengthened financial state of the party ultimately
led to major Democratic gains at both the state and national level. Additionally, as a board member of LifeBridge
Community Services in Bridgeport, I raise about $100,000 annually and in my current position, I have raised
approximately $5 million dollars for causes including but not limited to Bridgeport’s successful gun buy-back
program which since 2012 has removed over 1200 guns from our streets and efforts to improve educational
outcomes.
Three, I am a senior marketing and communications professional with more than 15 years of experience in the
New York and Hartford media markets. I have placed principles in national publications and programs such as
the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox news. I have also been interviewed and
quoted extensively as an on-the-record spokesperson for numerous campaigns and advocacy efforts in the
Connecticut Post, the Hartford Courant, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time Magazine and NBC,

ABC, CBS and Fox news affiliates.
Page 2388
The most recent marketing effort I oversaw for the City of Bridgeport was a million dollar campaign focused on
attracting investment and economic development to the city and enhancing confidence in Bridgeport’s direction
by highlighting successful improvements and development currently underway. The campaign involved two
advertising firms and utilized television, websites, social media and digital content. Following less than a year of
paid media effort, several businesses moved to Bridgeport and confidence improved over 15% as measured by
professional market research conducted by the Greater Bridgeport Business Council and Greenberg, Quinlan &
Rosner.
Managing and acting as a senior adviser on two statewide campaigns and while working as Political Director at
the State Democratic Party, I oversaw and directed a media budget of over $20 million spent on advocating the
success or defeat of candidates through TV, digital, radio and direct mail advertisements. These impactful
marketing efforts led to the successful election of numerous candidates for local and statewide office and
congressional seats.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with Hillary for America to help elect a Hillary Clinton as our next
President. I have been actively supporting and contributing to the Clinton's my entire life and it would be a dream
come true to work in a professional capacity to help Hillary become President.
Sincerely,
Adam Wood
PS - 1 would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this to Huma as well. We also met on Friday and she was out of cards. She recommended
that I forward this information to you and ask you to pass it along.

Hi Hannah,
Good to talk to you this morning and thanks for all you and your colleagues did for us at the golf tournament. We
really enjoyed all of it and especially the chance to visit with him at the villa Friday evening. As I may have
mentioned, Dan had not seen him since '92 in Concord.
Below is the radio interview request from Jack Heath who has the top rated morning radio talk show in NH. When
the president was running and in office, Jack was the news director at WMUR-TV, our ABC affiliate. Jack interviewed
him numerous times up here and at least once in the oval office. He was always respectful and very fair and I am
pretty sure WJC will remember him. The Governor, Legislature and Secretary Gardner are making a big deal out of
the 100 th anniversary of our primary over the next year. A special Commission on which I serve was set up to
oversee the commemorative events etc. In my opinion no one has done more to shine a light on the NH Primary and
keep it first than WJC with his supportive comments nationally over the years so it is most fitting that he be
interviewed about his campaign here and talk about what the NH Primary means for candidates, the races and
selection of the ultimate nominees.
If you or anyone else has any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. My cell is 603-496-9919; office
number is below. As noted, Jack would like to do this before Feb. 9, but I am sure will do whatever he can to
accommodate the president's schedule. Thanks for considering this.

Hi Terry,
I am interested in taping a 5-10 minute radio for my daily Morning NewsTalk Show "New Hampshire Today
with Jack Heath" solely on the President's reflections and memories of his first NH Presidential Primary
experience in which he was declared the Comeback Kid.
We are approaching the 1-year point to the 2016 First in the Nation Presidential Primary and I am planning
special historic coverage next month. I am interviewing Bill Gardner, NH Secretary of State and one of his
favorite reference points is when Bill Clinton finished 2nd in 1 992 but essentially won.
As you know, I have interviewed President Clinton on several occasions, including in the Oval Office when I
was News Director of WMUR TV. Mr. Clinton also invited me to interview him in White Plains NY when he
was President.
My show airs daily on WGIR AM 610, 96.7FM in Portsmouth and on iHeartRadio live daily from 6 to 9am. I
would request a pre tape call in interview with President Clinton some morning any day between next week and
before February 9th.
The call in number is 6036416565.
Again, the sole topic is his reflection on the NH Primary, why it works and why it is special.
Thanks,
Jack Heath, 6037142607

My New Home
Reporters too often claim to be objective, but in fact none of us are. We are shaped and influenced by our upbringing, our race, gender,
and religion or lack of one; our loved ones and friends; and the lives we have lived.
I had a successful, businessman father who, though he grew up in an orphanage and never finished high school, insisted I do well in
whatever I did. I went to an Ivy League school, was drafted into the Army at the end of the Korean War, and trained as an interrogator in
the Counterintelligence Corps.
I served here in Washington during the McCarthy period and have never forgotten that time. I twice took 18-month sabbaticals in the
1960s to run investigations for Sen. J.W. Fulbright (D-Ark.), then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The second
involved investigating elements of the Vietnam War. Fulbright was the first of several individuals who deeply influenced my thinking
about foreign policy and national security... Read More »

Subject: Hillary's message
....from a Florida Republican and supporter of Flillary Clinton.
Problem with Hillary is that she is allowing herself to be dragged into the economy which is really not so much of an issue
these days (Bernie Sanders is making it an issue), with low unemployment and positive economic stats, Florida and most of
areas in country booming, her focus should be on her foreign policy experience, and being the most qualified candidate to deal
with turmoil in world and keeping people safe. In contrast to the other candidates, Hillary already knows and has earned the
respect of foreign heads of state, would be comfortable on day one in dealing with an international crisis, and her ads and
communications to voters should reflect this.
Also, it is my opinion that in her debates, she should act more presidential and not adopt shouting tone of Bernie Sanders and
other candidates.

We wouldn’t keep emailing if it wasn’t so important. Here’s why:
• Boehner just dedicated an extra $1 .25 MILLION to his smear campaign attacking my record
• every piece of data shows our race TIED

John, we can pull ahead -- and keep fighting for Arizona - but only with your immediate support.

I realize you have a more important task at present, but Yale is looking for a new Dean for the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
I can't think of anyone more accomplished in environmental policy, successful in leading organizations, and skilled in fundraising.
If you are interested, I will send your name on to the search committee.
I didn't want to let the opportunity pass by without asking.
Let me know what you think.

[big campaign] ThinkProgress: Poll Confirms Massachusetts Election Was Not A Rejection Of
U ^ eC Health Care Reform
http://thinkprogress.org/201Q/01/25/mass-health-care/
Poll Confirms Massachusetts Election Was Not A Rejection Of Health Care
Reform
Following the surprise victory of Sen. -elect Scott Brown (R-MA) in last week’s special election, conservatives have
attempted to paint the election as a rejection of healthcare reform and progressive policies more generally.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week yesterday, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) said, “what happened in Massachusetts” shows that
“people are alarmed and angry about the spending, the debt, the government takeovers [including health care].”
Conservative Washington Post columnist George Will said on This Week that Massachusetts “ really was a health care
election .” “This was a referendum on a particular piece of legislation that is the signature legislation of the administration, and
the people of Massachusetts and the country are hotly angered over its substance,” Will said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), on Meet the Press yesterday, said, “ the message in Massachusetts was
absolutely clear . The exit polls that I looked at said 48 percent of the people in Massachusetts said they voted for the new
senator over health care.” McConnell added: “The people are telling us, ‘Please don’t pass this bill.’”
This “referendum” on health reform meme has become near-conventional wisom, with the media and even some
Democrats echoing it. But a new Washington Post/Kaiser/Harvard poll undermines this assertion. The poll suggests that
while the election was a “ protest of the Washington process it was not a rejection of progressive policy. Only 1 1 percent
of voters, including 19 percent of Brown voters, want Brown to “ stop the Democratic agenda
- 70 percent of voters think Brown should work with Democrats on health care reform, including 48 percent of Brown
voters.
- 52 percent of voters were enthusiastic/satisfied with Obama administration policies.
- 44 percent of voters believe “the country as a whole” would be better off with health care reform, but 23 percent
believe Massachusetts would be better off.
- 68 percent of voters, including 51 percent of Brown voters approve of Massachusetts’ health care reform.
- 58 percent of all voters, including 37 percent of Brown voters, felt “dissatisfied/angry” with “the policies offered by
the Republicans in Congress.”
A different poll, from Rasmussen Reports , cast doubt on the notion that Brown voters were primarily motivated by
opposition to health care reform. The poll found that 52 percent of Brown voters said health care was their top issue, while
an even greater percentage of people who voted for state Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) — 63 percent — placed it
first.
And as the Wonk Room’s Igor Volsky noted, Brown “doesn’t make a very convincing messenger for opposing the policy
behind health reform,” considering he voted for his state’s health reform legislation in 2006. “He promised to be the 41st
vote against reform because Massachusetts had already passed its own health reform bill, arguing that the state shouldn’t pay

Brown's victory in Mass, senate race hardly a repudiation of health
reform
By Alec MacGillis
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, January 21, 2010; A1 1
While many are describing the election to fill the late Edward M. Kennedy 's Senate seat as a referendum on
national health-care reform, the Republican candidate rode to victory on a message more nuanced than flat-out
resistance to universal health coverage: Massachusetts residents, he said, already had insurance and should
not have to pay for it elsewhere.
Scott Brown, the Republican state senator who won a stunning upset in Tuesday's election, voted for the state's
health-care legislation, which was signed by then-Gov. Mitt Romney (R) and has covered all but 3 percent of
Massachusetts residents. That legislation became the basic model for national health-care legislation. Brown has
not disavowed his support for the state's law, which retains majority backing in Massachusetts.
Instead, he argued on the campaign trail that Massachusetts had taken care of its own uninsured, and it would
not be in the state's interest to contribute to an effort to cover the uninsured nationwide.
"We have insurance here in Massachusetts," he said in a campaign debate. "I'm not going to be subsidizing for
the next three, five years, pick a number, subsidizing what other states have failed to do."
In a news conference Wednesday, he said, "There are some very good things in the national plan that's being
proposed, but if you look at -- and really almost in a parochial manner -- we need to look out for Massachusetts
first. . . . The thing I'm hearing all throughout the state is, 'What about us?' "
Brown's message underscores a little-noticed political dynamic in a country where rates of the uninsured vary
widely, from Massachusetts to Texas, where 25 percent are uninsured. Seeking national universal coverage
means sending money from states that have tried hard to expand coverage, mostly in the Northeast and
Midwest, to states that have not, mostly in the South and West.

Supporters of the national legislation say this transfer is an unfortunate but unavoidable aspect of expanding
coverage. But, they argue, the nation is misinterpreting expressions of self-interest in Massachusetts as grand
opposition to universal health insurance.
"Massachusetts's reforms continue to be popular in Massachusetts -- sufficiently popular that Brown did not
repudiate them," said Paul Starr, a Princeton public affairs professor. "Here is a state that has enacted a similar
reform and it is popular. That should encourage people that if it's done at the national level, that it would work as
policy, and that it would be popular."
Conservative analysts disagree, saying the Massachusetts law has been less successful than advertised and
that this helped motivate residents to cast a vote they knew would set back national reform. In a new report from
the libertarian Cato Institute, Michael Cannon argues that the law has covered fewer people than state data
suggest and that it has cost residents and businesses more than supporters say. "Things are not as hunky-dory
as people have been saying," he said.
Divining voters' motivation is difficult. In a Boston Globe poll taken in October, 59 percent of state voters said
they supported the state law, a drop of 1 0 percentage points from the prior year, and only 1 1 percent said they
wanted the law repealed. There were no exit polls Tuesday to gauge voters' views on health-care reform.
Federal programs often divert money from richer states to poorer ones, but the regional dynamic is more stark in
health-care reform. As it stands, the federal government shares the cost of Medicaid coverage based on states'
income, ranging from a 50-50 split in the richest states to 80 percent in the poorest.
But under the legislation, that disparity could grow in a way that does not necessarily accord with state wealth.
Many states, and not necessarily the poorest, set stringent terms for Medicaid eligibility, while others have eased
entry. In Texas, parents qualify for Medicaid only if their family income is below $5,720, while in Virginia, the limit
is $6,380. In Wisconsin, New Jersey, Maine, Minnesota, Illinois, Connecticut and the District of Columbia, the
cutoff is $40,000 or higher. In Maryland, it is $25,500.
The legislation would set a single standard for Medicaid eligibility, about $28,000 or $33,000 for a family, and the
federal government would pay almost the entire cost of newly eligible people. That means that states with looser
standards would continue to pay as much as half the cost for a broad swath of people that in other states would
be paid for almost entirely by the federal government. This disparity, which would largely benefit Republican-
leaning states, would be exacerbated if Congress decided to extend to other states a deal that the Senate gave
Nebraska to fund the entire cost of covering newly eligible people.
Both the House and Senate bills attempt to address this disparity: The Senate bill includes extra money for
Massachusetts and Vermont; the House bill helps additional states, including New York. But John Holahan of the
Urban Institute said Congress could have done more to even out the state-by-state impact.
"It's really striking," he said. "The real beneficiaries of this are the states in the South and the West who are
opposing health-care reform."
Some health policy experts say that the legislation in Congress would help Massachusetts by starting to bring
down health-care costs nationally and by supplementing the state's efforts with federal funding, which is less
vulnerable during economic downturns than deficit-constrained state budgets.
"The notion that 'we have ours so we don't need the feds' is wrong because the long-term viability is at the
federal level," said Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist and paid consultant to the Obama administration.
But what voters heard instead, said Harvard health policy professor Robert Blendon, was Brown's message that
the national bills would require Medicare cuts and taxes on some of their health insurance plans. The state
reforms had been implemented during better economic times, without a dedicated tax increase and without
involving Medicare.
Brown "was pounding away: Massachusetts took care of its own, why are you asking them to pay all these taxes
in a bad economic time?" Blendon said.

Americans United for Change Statement on the Massachusetts
Special Election
“A Referendum on Health Care Reform This Was Not”
Rasmussen Reports : "56% of Massachusetts voters named health care as the most
important issue. That suggests it was a big issue, but Democrat Martha Coakley actually won
among those voters by a 53% to 46% margin."
"Fifty-three percent (53%) approve of the way that Barack Obama has handled his job as
President."
Washington D.C. — Tom McMahon, Acting Executive Director of Americans United for Change, released the
following statement in response to the results of Tuesday’s special election in Massachusetts:
“As much as Congressional Republicans wish it to be true, Scott Brown’s electoral victory was not a referendum on
President Obama or on health insurance refonn. The reality they conveniently ignore is that the individual components of
reform continue to receive substantial levels of public support - in Massachusetts and across the country - like putting an
end to the insurance industry’s unscrupulous practices of rescinding policies when people get sick or refusing coverage to
those with pre-existing conditions. And that is why we have complete confidence Congress will move full speed ahead and
deliver the President the strongest bill possible that holds the insurance industry accountable and guarantees the American
people the quality, affordable health care they deserve.
“However, there’s no ignoring the anxiety and frustration expressed by many in Massachusetts over an economy still
struggling to regain footing since entering the worst recession in generations. While this administration’s actions helped pull
the economy back from the brink of a depression and the President’s economic recovery package continues to create new
jobs every day, progress can’t come soon enough for so many hurting families.
“But if Congressional Republicans believe the American people’s frustration can in any way be interpreted as nostalgia
for the failed economic policies from the Bush era that got us into this mess - and if they think this electoral victory was a
mandate to continue voting to protect the bottom line of the insurance industry. Wall Street, and energy companies - they
would be sorely mistaken.”

Dear Jesse,
I am gathering material for a story on Mrs. Clinton's time at State, attempting to explore the legacy in the vast uncharted
universe beyond Benghazi and emails.
I've already spoken with a number of people in State and around her during that period, and I am of course hoping to talk
to Mrs. Clinton too. Any chance of that?
Furthermore, I have not yet heard back from two key figures - Melanne Verveeer and Anne Marie Slaughter - whose
names keep coming up as having been crucial to the work. I'd appreciate your help with that as well.
As a fairly informed individual, I have been surprised already by how much I did not know about the innovations regarding
women, and also, the creative handling of certain knotty matters and individuals. I say that because I really hope you can
work with me on this. A deep story for general readers about the tenure at State is one way of gaining insight about what
might be the work-style and priorities in the WH.
In any case, I am open to your suggestions and I look forward to meeting you, I am quite sure we will be interacting often
in the coming year. Thank you so much in advance for your time and attention to this.
Best,

Subject: 4 GOP Senators voted against this:
John --
After Donald Trump's outrageous comments about prohibiting any Muslim from entering
the United States, Congress needs to reaffirm at every opportunity the core value of
religious freedom upon which our country was founded. So this morning, I offered in the
Judiciary Committee an amendment to do just that. It was a very simple amendment:
"It is the sense of the Senate that the United States must not bar individuals from
entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be
contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded. "
This should have passed unanimously, but four Republican Senators voted
against it.
The statements and policy proposals coming out of the Republican presidential primary
have been alarming. I am glad that Democrats and Republicans have denounced the
comments by Donald Trump on Muslims. But it is clear from the vote this morning and the
support for Donald Trump in his primary race that we need to be louder than ever to push
back on these reactionary statements about Muslims. They threaten to erode what has
made our country great.
I am formally on the record against the dangerous notion of barring all Muslim immigrants
from this country. Now is your chance to do the same: Add your name to my
petition condemning Donald Trump's remarks right now.

Urge him to stop his divisive rhetoric: Add your name now to say ENOUGH.
For more than 235 years, we have upheld the freedom of religion as one of our country's

Anyone who doesn't understand that religious tolerance is the core of our freedoms is not

until package that builds on what she has already done/is doing is complete and signed off
through our process. Other than one other thing, I like the rest of the edits. The one thing: I
think when the legitimate problems underscoring the current law are deferred to end, the memo
seems to flow less logically. Moreover, I would like to acknowledge the bad news up front so
she isn't thinking we are burying the problems. Principals sometimes don't trust the messenger
who appears to be pooh poohing the challenge. If ok with you guys, I would like to get that stuff
out of the way and restore that ordering. As I reviewed memo, I found places to tighten and
shorten. Again, I think it helps with the flow and the digesting of the info. Other than that, good

I do think the memo that you wrote on the United Healthcare situation is very good and
should go to HRC. I have edited and reordered it to: (1) have her focus on the arguments
about why not to panic too much about United Health Care at the beginning of the memo;
and (2) left the background on why ACA needs to be strengthened to the end; and (3) I
deleted your list of improvements at the end as I'd prefer for us to work on giving her a

raising the issues, I make a recommendation about HRC being a bit more aggressive
about the need to strengthen the ACA over time. I also raise a few very preliminary new
policy outlines that may spur further conversations with Ann, Jake and the rest of the
team. Hope helpful for you all.

We'll have the agenda next Weds, but basically we will be brainstorming how to handle the GOP's various

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jeremy Funk, 202.470.5878
DATE: June 10 th , 2008
U.S. Rep. Sander Levin, Change America Now! Coalition, Struggling Out-of-Work
Americans Urge Bush and His Republican Allies to Support Immediate Extension of
Unemployment Benefits for Millions of Struggling Americans
On Heels of Historic and Stunning Jump in U.S. Jobless Rate, Will Bush's Allies in Congress
Help Contribute to an Economic Turnaround — or Will They Contribute Further to President's
Failed Fegacy on the Economy?
> Jobless Rate Jumped to 5.5 percent in May from 5 percent in April, the largest monthly increase since 1986
> 49,000 More U.S. Jobs Lost in May; Fifth Consecutive Month of Negative Job Growth, Totaling Nearly 325,000 jobs
lost since the beginning of the year
Washington D.C. - In the face of the latest disappointing U.S. Labor Department jobs report finding 49,000
more U.S. jobs were lost in May - the fifth consecutive month of negative job growth totaling nearly 325,000
jobs lost since the beginning of the year, U.S. Rep. Sander Levin (MI-12) joined members of the Change
America Now! coalition, advocates, and struggling out-of-work Americans today to urge President Bush and
his Republican allies in Congress to support the immediate extension of unemployment benefits for millions of
struggling Americans.
The Democratic-led U.S. House is expected to vote as early as Wednesday on stand alone legislation to
provide up to 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits in every state to workers exhausting the 26 weeks
of regular unemployment benefits. In states with higher levels of unemployment, an additional 13 weeks
would be available, for a total of 26 weeks of extended benefits. In advance of the vote, the CAN Coalition
has launched a national grasstops effort urging Members to do right thing and support the extension, including
a toll free number to coalition membership generating thousands of calls to Members' offices, direct lobbying,
as well as an aggressive local earned media campaign.
U.S. Rep. Sander Levin pointed out to that in many ways labor market conditions are worse than they
were in 2002, when President Bush signed an unemployment benefit extension. The Congressman read letters
from three of his Michigan constituents who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and are struggling to
stay afloat in the Bush economy. He said that unemployed workers today are often less visible, as they do not
have to wait in line at unemployment offices to get their checks but rather receive them in the mail.
Congressman Levin said that the plight of Americans that are out of work through no fault of their own must
not remain invisible to the Congress and the White House.
Bill Samuel, Legislative Director of the AFL-CIO: "The percentage of unemployed workers who have been
jobless more than six months is now over 18%. And it's no wonder: the economy has shed 324,000 jobs over
the past five months, and there are more than two jobless workers searching for every available job. At about
$290 a week, unemployment benefits are no bonanza; but they can be a lifeline to families who have no other
source of income. While the Bush Administration and many in Congress are content to wait until things get
even worse, the fact is, the number of workers who have been unemployed for more than six months is higher
than the last two times Congress enacted a federal program of extended unemployment benefits. Congress

has an opportunity to give immediate relief to over a million people who have been jobless for more than six
months, and to 3.8 million workers over the life of the program. We cannot afford to wait."
Brad Woodhouse, President of Americans United for Change: "Voting to extend unemployment benefits to
millions of out-of-work American families is the very least Bush's allies in Congress can do after voting time
and again to enable this President failed policies that have contributed to and even exasperated the economic
downturn. We understand many of them believe that more Bush tax cuts for millionaires are the only
prescription for the ailing economy - tax cuts that never manage to 'trickle-down' to the people who really
need it. But, we hope they can make an exception this time and vote to extend a helping hand to the
Americans hit hardest by the Bush economy."
Andrew Stettner, Deputy Director of the National Employment Law Project: "With data confirming the
realities faced by workers across the nation, it would show a new level of callousness by Congress and the
President to not find a way to immediately enact an extension of jobless benefits."
Jared Bernstein, Economic Policy Institute: "There is simply no good rationale for denying jobless workers
an extension to their UI benefits. Any arguments against it-the labor market's still strong, it creates the wrong
incentives for job seekers-have been swept from the table by the deepening downturn in the job market."
Dean Ambrosini, 44, of San Diego, CA was laid off last July from BSM Financial LP, a mortgage-banking
company in Allen, Texas, where he helped sell housing loans to investors. His unemployment-insurance
benefits ran out in February. "I have a resume full of worthless skills and 10 years of experience basically
down the drain. I've applied for more than 50 jobs with no luck, including at retailers like Home Depot and
Lowe's, even a Burger King near my home. But even that has a 'No Hiring' sign."

Subject: Faculty Handbook Changes
At its January 20th meeting, the Faculty Senate approved a set of changes to the Faculty Handbook, which were either non-substantive or required by
law.
1 . The FMLA Leave Policy needs to be revised to bring it into compliance with new Federal and DC legal requirements concerning military families. In
addition, the separate statements currently in Section V “Benefits” of the Faculty Handbook and in the Human Resources Policy Manual will be replaced
by a single document that will appear in Faculty Handbook section IV “Other Policies Governing Employment at Georgetown University.” The revised
policy can be viewed on the Senate website:
http://facultysenate.georgetown.edu/pending-business
2. In addition to the FMLA Leave Policy, which applies to staff as well as faculty, Section V of the Faculty Handbook contains the Family Care Leave
Policy, which applies to all faculty but not staff. This will be moved to Faculty Handbook section III. C. 10 “Absence and Leave.” No substantive change
will be made to this policy. The rest of Section V of the Faculty Handbook will be replaced by a link to the Office of Faculty and Staff Benefits website,
which is the current and authoritative source of information about health care, tuition, retirement and other benefits available to faculty and staff. For
more information about this reorganization, see “Overview of Proposed Changes to the Faculty Handbook Benefits and Leave Sections” at the Senate
website above
The “New Parent Leave Option for Tenure-Line Faculty,” which applies to Main Campus faculty only, is not affected by these changes. It can be found
on the Provost’s website: https://georgetown.app.box.eom/s/6qbejgwsnmrqtdlpusmy .
Finally, at its November 13, 2014 meeting, the Senate approved the proposed policy on the confidentiality and transparency of the rank and tenure
process, which can be found at the Senate website above. All three of these revisions will go to the Board of Directors for final approval in February.

Subject: Bill Cahir Memorial Fund
HI
Dear John,
In years past, during the holidays, we've been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars for
charities that help our troops and veterans, and I can tell you that they're all so grateful for
your support. This year, we want to raise even more for the Bill Cahir Memorial Fund, and
hope you can donate whatever you can afford.
To remind you, Bill Cahir was a Marine, veteran, and one of our endorsed candidates for
Congress. In the spring of 2009, he was deployed to Afghanistan, where he made the
ultimate sacrifice. Bill left behind a wife and unborn twin daughters. Those girls never will
get to meet their father. But, the Cahir Memorial Fund was established to help his wife
provide for their little girls.
CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE CAHIR MEMORIAL FUND.
Bill didn't have to serve this nation in uniform. In fact, he wouldn't have even been
recruited to do so. See, Bill was a journalist on September 11, 2001, but felt the call of duty
so strongly that he applied for an age waiver to join the Marines and go to war. Bill was 34
then. Fie went back to war again, and again, when called. It was on his third tour that he
died in Afghanistan's Flelmand Province.
Donating to the Bill Cahir Memorial Fund will make sure that his daughters receive as good a
quality of life as they can without their father there. It will help with everything from basic
needs to college.
Ultimately, those girls will carry on the ideals that Bill stood for and that his widow, Rene, will
instill in them. So your help will go to a very worthy cause.
CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE CAHIR MEMORIAL FUND
On behalf of everyone here at VoteVets.org, I want to thank you in advance. We wish you
and yours a very healthy, happy, and safe holiday season, and all the best in 2010.
Sincerely,
Jon Soltz

Staff and G-20
Team -
Lippert and I want to be sure we're on the same page in re: staff mtgs and visiting foreign dignitaries around the G-20.
I noticed in an email that Anita sent earlier that Dan T is in charge of arranging staff mtgs around the G-20. If that is the case, we want to be sure
we are not off the reservation.
In his protocol calls the last several days, the President-elect has demurred on mtg with visiting leaders (each has requested a meeting) and been
equally non committal on meetings with staff.
We had been thinking we would propose that a team of senior, recognizable Democrats (led the Sec. Albright, but also including a finance/econ
expert) would take meetings with visiting delegations. Such a posture with get us the benefit of the input from the visiting delegations (as Albright et
al would debrief staff or even the President-elect on their meetings) but give us enough distance (since none of these folks like Albright would
eventually be serving in an Obama Admin) that we would not own what they say.
Anita and Dan Tarullo, is this different from what you all are thinking/planning? If so, let's synchronize our watches before we get too far down the
road.
Thx,
DM

Also, a question about your Friday RON:
They are very happy to get you a hotel room, but Michelle White also offered for you to stay with her?
She has a guest room and a private bathroom.
That way she can easily drive you wherever you need to go in the morning.

John- The NV team is 99% positive that they would like YOU to do the two labor kickoff events Saturday morning in Vegas in place of HRC
(they're still figuring out what exactly HRC is going to do instead).
On Saturday afternoon they have a request in for YOU to do a clean energy event in Reno with Reno City Councilman David Bobzien, one of
the leading conservationists/energy advocates in the state. Full details on that event below from Michelle White.
I did not want to confirm the Bobzien clean energy event without your approval because I know you are trying to get to Truckee at a
reasonable hour.
Schedule outline below. Let me know your thoughts.
Briefings— They are not yet finished but Michelle is going to power through them tonight. Since you don't have to leave until later tomorrow
morning (flight departing HPN at 12:00 pm) do you think that I could bring you the binder in the early AM? I'm worried that it won't be finished
until after you're asleep tonight.
Speaking— We will have to work on remarks for these events as well. Once I have the full details on format, audience, etc. I will work on
those with Nikki, Michelle, and KLC/the climate team tomorrow.

BACKGROUND ON BOBZIEN EVENT:
Reno City Councilman David Bobzien is available to do an event with JP after 12p on Saturday. He is a HUGEEEE JP fan and one of the
leading conservationists/energy advocates in the state.
We got word that Bernie will be in Reno on Saturday as well and he plans on sitting down with solar workers who lost their jobs due to the net-
metering decision in NV (it's really, really wonky). Bernie's event is not yet public, and I think we have a chance to get ahead of him on this,
without diving too deep into a very wonky, complicated state issue.
Bobzien suggested that since our campaign probably doesn't want to get too in the weeds of this very specific state issue anyways, we could
make it a meeting about energy and conservation in general, and focus on things like the recent SCOTUS decision to temporarily block
Obama's effort to combat climate change by regulating emissions from coal-fired power plants. Other topics will include how to create a grid
for the 21st century. He is also willing to discuss public land conservation if we want to.
He said even if we make it a more of a general meeting about energy, we all know that the net-metering issue will come up and can all be
prepared and probably still get some attention for it.
I think this is a great opportunity to sway some people in the north to Hillary, get some positive coverage, and get ahead of the solar/clean
energy issue before Bernie.
For background: Bobzien has not been too out front on the net-metering issue in NV. He thinks what NV Energy and the PUC is doing is
wrong, but needs to be cautious in how he approaches it. He said he is very capable of navigating the issue if it comes up and typically sticks
to the talking points that we need to do what we can as a state to move towards a clean energy 21st century. He is incredible on these issues
and we don't feel any hesitation.

Subject: Re: Design for Millennials
I'm not sure if you were looking for a response, but fwiw, here's my response. Feel free to ignore this email if you
were just passing on.
I agree with a couple of the through-lines embedded in this feedback, specifically:
- In general, our stuff looks very polished, which is better than sloppy (!) but not altogether ideal in an election
where voters manifestly want what they think is the genuine, unpolished article. We are working on a variety of
approaches to feel more grassroots-y and less corporate that I am happy to walk anyone through.
- Our font. It's fat and blocky and sometimes tough to read, and it generally rubs people the wrong way. You may
recall that we all disliked it during the branding process, and somehow managed to get rolled by Michael Beirut.
We are finally going to make a change here.
Otherwise, though, I find this feedback a little strange. A lot of the notes on the graphic are matters of personal
preference masquerading as incontestable fact (and the son's suggested redesign is obviously lousy). Indeed,
the only reason these kids even saw this graphic is that it won a multivariate email test -- and actually did very
well, raising $85,000. And we routinely get excellent feedback on our work from the graphic design world --
there are dozens of articles from design blogs and publications about how our stuff is the best in the presidential
field that I am happy to share!
In any event, keep the feedback coming; we read and take seriously every single piece. Just wanted to defend
my team a little bit....

SUMMARY
For decades, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been at
the forefront in developing standards and building consensus for information security
and privacy covering an expansive range of topics from defining security and privacy
controls to establishing encryption protocols to preparing guidelines for confidentiality
of personally identifiable information (Pll).
In recent years, NIST’s initiatives have transformed security and privacy standards in
both the public and private sectors by harmonizing security and privacy controls for
federal agencies and contractors (e.g., NIST Special Publication 800-53 Rev. 4),
developing the Cybersecurity Framework for use in the private sector, and integrating
privacy controls into the security standards.
This panel of NIST experts will address the latest developments in NIST security and
privacy standards and discuss what’s ahead in emerging security and privacy issues.
PANEL
• Naomi Lefkowitz - NIST Senior Privacy Policy Advisor
• Adam Sedgewick - NIST Senior Information Technology Policy Advisor
MODERATOR
Peter Miller - Senior Counsel, Crowell & Moring LLP; former FTC Chief Privacy
Officer; ABA SciTech E-Privacy Co-Chair
The ABA Science & Technology Law (SciTech) Section's Homeland Security
Committee, E-Privacy Committee, Information Security Committee, Technical
Standardization Committee, the Public Contract Law (PCL) Section's Cybersecurity,
Privacy, and Data Protection Committee and the Cybersecurity Legal Task Force are
co-sponsoring a joint program addressing cybersecurity, privacy and the National

J j Joe Sestak for Senate
Dear John,
Now that Labor Day is behind us, we are nearing the November election with less
than two months left. We must double our efforts to make sure that our grassroots
campaign defeats the Wall Street-backed corporate interests behind Congressman
Toomey. With your help we will win in November! Please visit GoJoe today and
learn how to get involved with phone-banking, canvassing and spreading our
message to Pennsylvania voters.
Creating Jobs for Pennsylvania
There is so much at stake in this U.S. Senate race. Speaking at Carnegie Mellon
University, I laid out my plan to lift Pennsylvania out of this recession - creating jobs
through benefits to the small businesses that create 80 percent of our new workforce.
My proposal for a 15 percent tax credit to small businesses for new hires is one
example of my commitment to these engines of our economy. For the full text of my
speech, please click here
Making stops in the Philadelphia area on my Jobs and Opportunity Tour, I spoke
about the ways I intend to encourage job growth, reduce crime and address our
education system's shortcomings to improve our communities across Pennsylvania.
To read about my legislation and future initiatives, please click here
The last thing that we need is a candidate like Congressman Toomey who has called
for investments in big corporations, not people. Our first ad of the general election,
below, features Toomey calling for the elimination of all taxes on corporations.
Taking Independent Stances and Solving Problems
I was honored to have former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel join us on the
campaign trail in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Even though he is a member of a
different political party, Hagel spoke out in support of my non-partisan approach to
problem-solving: "Sestak has demonstrated during his two terms in Congress that he
puts what's best for the country before the interests of his party." Watch here
I was also proud to welcome Senator Byron Dorgan, a longtime independent voice in
the Senate who spoke out against Toomey's push for deregulation. He accurately
predicted then that the passage of the legislation would create the "too big to fail"
banks now involved in the risky Wall Street gambling praised by Congressman
Toomey.
In 1999, Senator Dorgan stated: "I think we will look back in 10 years' time and say
we should not have done this, but we did because we forgot the lessons of the past,
and that that which is true in the 1930s is true in 2010. We have now decided in the
name of modernization to forget the lessons of the past, of safety and of soundness."

Joining me at a campaign event in Philadelphia, Senator Dorgan said: "Mr. Toomey is
one of those folks who helped created the wreck. He supports the policies that led to
this dramatic problem we face in the country. There are millions of people losing their
jobs, losing their homes and losing hope. Joe Sestak is exactly the opposite in terms
of his mindset and how he believes we ought to proceed. And it seems to me the
people of Pennsylvania have a very significant choice."
Though the recession has taken a toll on working families across the state, I have
been most impressed by the sense of community that I have witnessed along my
travels. Every day that we campaign, you remind me of the reasons that I entered this
race in the first place - to accelerate our economic recovery, put people back to work,
protect the Social Security savings of our seniors and fight for the interests of every
Pennsylvania family.
Warmly,
Joe Sestak

jobs. Dry as that may be.
And yes, I get why some might think it lacks an emotional attachment to our great nation to give up a corporations' tax citzenship, but to
most in the business community corporations are meant to follow their fiduciary duties to shareholders. That duty isn't generally thought
of as including an emotional attachment to our nation - patriotism. But heck, maybe it's just me.

4 Trillion Reasons China’s
Currency Isn’t Ready for Prime
Time
China isn't ready to supply the rest of the world with RMB. So why does it matter if the currency gets the
IMF's stamp of approval?
BY PATRICK CHOVANEC
JUNE 16, 2015
A lot of hyperventilation has lately been devoted to the future international role of China’s currency,
the renminbi (RMB). The latest flurry of excitement centers on China’s bid to have the RMB included
in the basket of currencies represented in the Special Drawing Rights issued by the International
Monetary Fund. According to accepted wisdom, the RMB’s inclusion in the SDR basket would be a
landmark step, formal recognition of its coming-of-age as a global reserve currency. SDR status, many
say, would give central banks the green light to add RMB to their reserves and encourage investors to
pour money into Chinese stocks and bonds.
But SDR status is a red herring. What really matters is not whether the IMF uses the RMB, but who else
does.
If anything, inclusion in the SDR basket would be a political gesture, not a financial or economic game-
changer. That may seem a strange thing to say, given the obvious stock Chinese officials place in
winning SDR status. Surely, they wouldn’t devote so much effort and make it such a high priority, if it

wasn’t really important. But China wouldn’t be the first country to mistake the form of reserve
currency status for the substance.
There are two keys to any nation’s currency functioning as a global reserve currency: It must be
desirable (as both a means of exchange and store of value), and it must be accessible (people can
accumulate bank balances in it abroad). Official recognition can acknowledge these realities, but does
not fulfill them, as the United States found out in the wake of World War II.
In 1944, the Bretton Woods Conference designated the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency,
linked to gold (which the United States owned virtually all of). Washington also made sure that
exchange rates to the dollar were fixed to ensure its continued dominance as an exporter. But after the
war, the problem quickly became apparent: Europe had no dollars, and no way to earn them. Unless
the United States was willing to supply dollars via trade, aid, or investment — in other words, by
running a balance of payments deficit — a global economy depending on the dollar as its reserve
currency would collapse.
The solution to this dollar shortage was the Marshall Plan, followed by a series of currency
devaluations that put its trading partners on a more competitive footing with the United States.
Eventually, Washington essentially exported dollars by running large and persistent trade deficits — a
state of affairs that continues to this day and would be unsustainable if the United States did not remain
a profitable place to invest.
SDR status may fall far short of Bretton Woods, but the principle still operates. Any country that wants
its currency to actually function as an international reserve must supply the rest of the world with claims in that
currency, either by running trade deficits or by providing large amounts of aid or investment capital. Until now,
at least, China’s development model has been based on precisely the opposite: running trade surpluses and
attracting foreign investment. In the process, rather than exporting its own currency, it has imported an
astonishing $4 trillion in other countries’ currencies, which it holds as central bank reserves. (In the past few
years, China has seen some capital flow outward, drawing down on those huge foreign currency balances by a
few billion dollars.)
So where do SDRs fit in? SDRs are a unit of account, assigned a value (based on a basket of widely used
and traded currencies), and allocated to countries by the IMF. Think of them as vouchers, which can —
in theory, at least — be exchanged for actual currencies. If the RMB were added to the SDR basket —
along with the dollar, euro, pound, and yen — it could be argued that countries holding SDRs would be
holding some sort of claim on RMB as part of their reserves. The official imprimatur of the IMF might
also encourage central banks to hold RMB directly, on their own.
It’s possible — but where would the RMB come from? Any RMB sent abroad, in excess of China’s
(currently modest) balance of payments deficit, would result in China accumulating that much more
foreign exchange reserves of its own. In effect, it would be a kind of swap, which could be done (as long
as both central banks are willing) with any two currencies. Even using RMB to settle China’s payments
deficit would leave it stuck holding the excessive quantities of foreign currency reserves it has already
stockpiled. Far from eclipsing the U.S. dollar as the lead global currency, sending RMB abroad —
absent a significant shift in China’s balance of payments — would only perpetuate, and perhaps even
exacerbate, China’s own reliance on (and exposure to) the dollar and other foreign reserve currencies.
Others, including the authors of a recent report by Barclays, argue that SDR status would establish the
RMB as a “safe asset,” which would encourage investors to buy Chinese stocks and bonds, thereby
paving the way for it to serve as a reserve currency. It is certainly true that more liquid, better-
developed capital markets in China would make it a great deal more attractive to hold RMB.
But the question, again, is where does the money come from? If foreigners are buying Chinese bonds
(or even non-Chinese bonds) with RMB they earned selling (net) exports to China, or if they are buying
Chinese goods (or even non-Chinese goods) with RMB they borrowed from Chinese lenders, then the
RMB has truly gone global, supplied by (initial) Chinese balance of payments outflows.
But if foreign investors are simply changing their own currency into RMB in order to buy RMB assets
in China, that’s a capital inflow. From a flow of currency perspective, it’s no different from a tourist
changing U.S. dollars into RMB at the Beijing airport, or the foreign direct investment that’s been
flowing into China for years. Each of these transactions involves China importing foreign currency in
exchange for goods and assets, not exporting RMB. To the extent that SDR status makes China a more
10/18/2016

attractive magnet for foreign investors, it actually raises the hurdle that much higher for China to
supply the world with RMB reserves.
Many observers seem to believe that anything that raises the RMB’s profile puts it on track to
becoming an international reserve currency. This is far from the truth.
Adding the RMB to the IMF’s SDR basket would certainly raise its profile, but would do nothing to help
— and could even complicate — the ability of other countries to acquire meaningful reserve holdings of
RMB. Just as was true for the U.S. dollar, the key to the RMB’s future role depends not on official
designations from above, but on the balance of payments. For the RMB to function as a reserve
currency, China would have to develop a profoundly different relationship with the rest of the world
economy from the one it has now — a change it is far from clear the Chinese are willing to embrace.

Q. Why was it important for the foundation that some foreign government donations be
allowed to continue after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state (i.e. those from governments
that had been giving and then continued to do so at a steady pace, as well as new or increased

donation that cleared a state department review)? Why do foundation officials believe such
donations did not pose any conflicts of interest given Secretary Clinton's role, as some have
alleged?
“As with other global charities, we rely on the support of individuals, organizations,
corporations and governments who have the shared goal of addressing critical global
challenges in a meaningful way. When anyone contributes to the Clinton Foundation, it
goes towards Foundation programs that save lives. The majority of this support from
governments is for specific, multi-year programs that are improving the lives of
millions of people around the world and were underway well before Secretary Clinton
took office. It’s hard to imagine someone arguing that funding should be cut off for
the more than 8 million people getting access to live-saving HIV/AIDS medicine in
more than 70 countries, the nearly 40,000 farmers in Malawi, Tanzania, and Rwanda
trying to earn a better living or the reduction of 33,500 tons of greenhouse gas
emissions annually.”

Hillary Clinton 2016: The Anti-'08 Campaign
Mar 23, 2015 6:00 AM EDT
As she inches closer to her expected campaign launch, staffing decisions offer clues into how her operation
might work.
This time is going to be different.
So say members of the skeleton team already working for Hillary Clinton, future staffers preparing to make the
move from Washington D.C. to the expected campaign headquarters in New York, and some veterans of the
2008 campaign. It’s a reflection of what Clinton and her husband want as well as they prepare to launch her
candidacy next month: A clear statement that they have learned from missteps and aren't dwelling on what might
have been.
Clinton’s strategy is still being formulated and her total message has yet to be unveiled, but her early staffing
choices are seen as a signal that she is aware of the infighting and drama that plagued her 2008 campaign and
is trying to change that.
“If she gets in the race, of course this time will be different. And her team will reflect that,” said Nick Merrill, who
is currently Clinton’s only on-the-record spokesman.
The expected campaign manager, Robby Mook, values organizing as much as he does data, strategy and
messaging. He and campaign chairman John Podesta will be tasked with juggling competing interests and
personalities within the campaign and outside of it, from the Clintons on down. Communications head
Jennifer Palmieri, who left the Obama administration last week, is seen by reporters and operatives alike as
someone who can disagree with those who cover the campaign but will do so respectfully and professionally.
During her last campaign, Clinton’s team was rife with backstabbing, credit claiming, and finger-pointing.
Decisions were often put off indefinitely and then made under duress. Her communications staff could be
abusive and uncooperative with reporters. For much of the campaign, she was cloistered from voters,
reluctant to even hint at the historic nature of her candidacy. And Bill Clinton, at times one of his wife’s greatest
assets, was also often huge liability, letting his anger toward Barack Obama show throughout the early
months of 2008.
Clinton is expected to announce her next steps in early April. She is in a stage where she doesn’t have to
report spending on staff or travel, though she will need to do so retroactively once her campaign launches.
In a sign that the interim phase is approaching its end, Clinton has just two public appearances on the horizon,
both set for Monday.
In the morning, she’ll speak at a Center for American Progress forum on urban issues co-hosted by the
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. It’s a friendly environment-the moderator for
the event is CAP President Neera Tanden, Clinton’s 2008 policy director-but it’s also a substantive one, where
she’ll be able to talk about her policy positions in depth.
That night, Clinton will address the awards ceremony for the Toner Prize, presented to journalists in memory of
the late New York Times political reporter Robin Toner, who led the paper’s coverage of Bill Clinton’s 1992
campaign. The irony of the famously media-adverse Clinton addressing a journalism awards ceremony is not lost
on reporters who remember that in 2008, her campaign set up a filing center in a men's restroom.
While people joining the campaign are confident about its potential, longtime Clinton supporter Donna Brazile

cautioned that staffing itself is just one piece of the dynamic. "If it was just personnel, it would be easy," she said.
"But it's about how you deploy all of the available resources at your disposal, how you manage it all, especially in
the age of the super-PAC."
One strategist said that the primary reason people are attracted to working for the Clinton campaign is Clinton
herself, but that the team she’s building is also a big draw.
Some joining the team, like pollster and strategist Joel Benenson and media adviser Jim Margolis, have deep
roots in the two Obama presidential campaigns. Others, like Mandy Grunwald, have more than two decades of
history with the Clintons. But plenty of other staffers have a mix of experiences. Marlon Marshall worked in the
Obama White House and was deputy national field director in 2012. In 2008, he was Clinton's state field director
in Nevada, Ohio and Indiana.
Mook has a loyal following and was described by two people who have worked with him as the only candidate
for the campaign manager job who would have joined the team even if he hadn’t been given that role.
Kristina Schake, Michelle Obama’s former communications director, will be a deputy to Palmieri, while Attorney
General Eric Holder’s top press aide, Brian Fallon, will leave his job at the end of the month to join as a press
secretary. Other early hires for press jobs include the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Jesse
Ferguson, the Democratic National Committee’s Ian Sams and Jesse Lehrich of American Bridge, which has
been conducting opposition research on the potential Republican candidates.
Merrill will continue to serve as a spokesman. "You need an infrastructure and operation in place and one guy
can't do it all," said Jim Manley, the former top communications adviser to Senate Democratic Leader Harry
Reid, referring to Merrill. "They seem to be building that, but we'll have to wait to see how it runs."
Lehrich's hiring is a sign of how much the Clinton/Obama dynamic has changed since 2008. His uncle is David
Axelrod, Obama's political messaging guru.
Just as important to defining the team as who’s on it is who isn’t. Clinton’s longtime communications adviser,
Philippe Reines-who spent the 2008 cycle as her Senate press secretary-will not be on the campaign staff and
has told people close to Clinton that he has made a deliberate decision to back away from day-to-day
involvement. Known for his often-aggressive style, his less-central role is viewed as another signal of the Clinton
campaign's media relations.
What's not clear is exactly what role those new mid-level staffers will fill. One future staffer who didn't want to
speak on the record before the campaign launches and his hiring is announced said he felt comfortable leaving
his current job because of his trust in the senior members of the team. Mook in particular is cited as someone
who is unlikely to allow intramural disagreements between former Obama and Clinton staffers to disrupt the
campaign.
The Democratic strategist said that the current team's organizational chart is a huge change from 2008, when
seemingly everyone on the campaign was a senior adviser.
“It’s a different season, it’s a different set of challenges,” Brazile said. “So of course you’re driving with a different
set of tires.”

Hi Mia-
Thanks for your support, and for reaching out with these very thoughtful suggestions. It's great to see a smart young person so deeply engaged in
the political process.
First, I've passed on your email to our digital team and asked them to take a look at your recommendations for our social media strategy. Even a big
operation like ours is always learning what people respond to online, and evolving to best communicate with people around the country.
I can see that you really care about Hillary Clinton, so I want you to have the most up-to-date facts when you're talking to your friends. Hillary
absolutely believes that black lives matter and that our criminal justice system is out of balance. She was the first candidate to address these
issues. In her first major speech of the campaign, she said we have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America and
called for an end to the era of mass incarceration. In October, she met with leaders of the BLM movement to discuss their recommendations for
making progress. Our policy team also put together an in-depth page on our website that lays out Hillary's full criminal justice proposals, if you'd like
to see more details, https://www.hillarvclinton.com/issues/criminal-iustice-reform/
We are very proud of the support we have received from the labor movement. 17 national unions and the North America Building Trades have
endorsed Hillary so far. These unions, which include the SEIU, AFT, NEA, and AFSCME, represent over 1 1 million American workers. She will
continue fighting for them throughout this campaign and, hopefully, as President of the United States.
I really appreciate your reaching out, and I hope this has been helpful. If you end up in Brooklyn sometime next year we would love to show you
around our HQ. Please keep working hard to make Hillary our next President.
Happy New Year. Talk soon.
Best,
John

Dear Mr. Podesta,
I am a 17- year- old girl from San Leandro, California. I have been a die hard Hillary supporter since her
tenure as Secretary of State and I want her in the White House as our next President of the United States.
The 2016 election will be the first election that I can vote in. I will be attending the Democratic National
Convention and I am doing my best to make sure that Secretary Clinton is the Democratic nominee. I am
contacting you because I know you work on her campaign.
However, I can't help but be concerned. I think the youth vote is becoming more and more important as more
youth engage in politics. It worries me that I am one of the only young people I know that plans to vote for
Hillary Clinton. Most of my peers support Bernie Sanders. I think that Bernie Sanders is not a strong candidate
and his policies are not sound or realistic, but many young people hear "free college" and automatically give
him their support.
I think there are certain issues that the Clinton campaign should address more to get a better response from
younger voters. First of all, many young people think that Clinton is wishy- washy on her stance on racial
injustice in America. They believe that Clinton has not engaged with the movement ‘Black Lives Matter’ in the
way that she should. Second, the youth is concerned that Hillary Clinton accepts money from huge donors,
like Super PACs, while the biggest Sanders donors are unions. Why don’t more unions support Clinton?
Thirdly, they want to hear more about Hillary Clinton’s education plan. I am familiar with the plan because I
have researched it, but most young people don’t have the initiative to actually search fore it.

My last concern is about the Clinton Campaign’s social media team. I think that it needs to be reformed. I
understand that the media team is trying to appeal to the youth, in funny ways like ‘memes’ but that is simply
not the way to go. I cringe almost every time I visit the Hillary Clinton Twitter account or view the Clinton
Campaign Snapchat story. Young people want to be spoken to like adults, and in some ways it seems like
Clinton is just peddling to the masses. It seems to me like Hillary Clintons media team is almost frightened to
address the real, pressing issues. The Youth don’t want to know ‘Why Hillary Clinton Is Just Like Your Abuela’,
they want to know how she is going to serve this country for the better. Not to mention ‘Why Hillary Clinton Is
Just Like Your Abuela’ was a little disrespectful and cultural appropriating. It is a misguided way to connect
with Latino voters.
I want nothing more than to see Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office. I have looked up to her for years now and I
am determined to get her elected. But there are huge weak spots in her campaign strategy. I want to help.
Thank you so much,
Mia Saponara

Subject: Home Care Workers Meet with Hillary Clinton

Like many of you, I watched the first Republican debate last night — and it was hard to watch at

times. It was a reminder of why we must build a movement that fights for justice on all fronts and
forces candidates to talk about the issues that our families care most about, like raising wages,
creating a pathway to citizenship, ensuring justice in every community, and prioritizing
affordable, quality home care and child care for all families.
The debate stood in stark contrast to our home care roundtable event with Hillary Clinton earlier
in the day in Los Angeles. This was the second roundtable event we’ve held with Secretary
Clinton since the Executive Committee directed us to begin engaging presidential candidates on
our agenda for working people back in March.
Secretary Clinton listened to the stories of home care providers like Aretha Peters from
Cleveland. Aretha’s story follows below. You can watch video of the event here , and read a
great story in the Los Angeles Times here .
Aretha Peters - home care worker from Cleveland. OH
“I’m a single mom who works hard to provide for my kids. But I only make $8 an hour and I don’t
have vacation or sick time. I work more than 50 hours a week, yet I’m unable to support my
family’s basic needs. I struggle to keep food on the table and spend hours in line at the food
bank. This month I had to choose between paying a full month’s rent and buying new shoes for
my eight-year-old to replace her pair with holes in the bottom.
And now Hillary Clinton knows it. She learned from all the home care workers in the room that we
are not just making sacrifices; we are making them with love and compassion for others. These
jobs aren’t easy and we are worth more.
I was encouraged when the Secretary said:
“This movement to give dignity and respect and better pay and benefits and training to
home care workers is one of the most important missions that we should take on together.
You are on the front lines and the rest of us have to be supporting and advocating for
you. ”
And when she recognized how special home care workers are:
“It’s not just anybody who’s good at this work. It’s not just anyone you can trust in your
home. The union, the training, it makes a huge difference. ”
I was so encouraged to look in her face and see compassion. Secretary Clinton asked
questions, she wanted to know more about us. This day has been the highlight of the last two
years of reaching out to our fellow home care workers, marching in the streets, and fighting for
$15. Hillary Clinton knows we need higher wages, paid time off, sick time, vacation, and a union
and why that matters; not just to home care workers, but to our consumers, too.
I want to say thank you to SEIU for this amazing opportunity. I was honored to be at the table
with amazing home care workers from across the country.

I am inspired by Kindalay Cummings-Akers from Massachusetts, who just won $15 an hour
with her union sisters and brothers. She made clear that home care workers are a force in the
2016 election, saying the best president is “someone who supports the home care
workers and our consumers, especially seniors and veterans. We home care workers
will be out there knocking on doors to get word out, talking to our neighbors. Home
care workers and our issues should be right out front.”
I learned about the training course Regina Sutton from California took part in “This has
helped us learn how to be care team. Me as the provider, Karen as the consumer, her
doctor, her therapist, we come together and make sure we know the needs Karen
has.” I think all home care workers and consumers should have access to a program like that.
And Karen Johnson, a consumer from CA, made clear that Regina is such an important part of
her life. She shared that her chronic pain drove her to attempt suicide. And then she met
Regina. “I like to be independent and make people laugh and now I have that back.
And it’s just a blessing.”
Susie Young told us about the better health outcomes her clients have thanks to the great
programs SEIU has built in Washington State. And, Washington home care workers have won
the first - and only - retirement plan in the country. “We found our voices. We came out of
our shadows. We became invisible no more.”
Sumer Spika fought for years to win her union and says her greatest victory is paid time off -
as a single mom, I can really relate to that. She is living the struggle of caring for a family on
home care wages. “When I first became a caregiver there were no benefits. I found
myself in the grocery store with a baby on my hip and a screaming toddler at my side
having to choose between buying toilet paper or laundry soap.”
Lizabeth Bonilla has been a home care worker for four decades and is sounding the alarm
about the senior care gap and is worried about what happens when it’s her turn. “I’m 60 years
old. It’s going to be my turn to be the client. What do I have? Nothing. I have nothing
to show for 42 years of my life. If I get sick, I get sick, but I don’t get paid. So I have
absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. I had to humble myself after 42 years of work to get
food stamps.”
And Latonya Allen is fired up about the Fight for $15 and spreading the word in the South. “I
love the job that I do, I’m very passionate about it. Home care workers don’t get the
pay they deserve. I’ve been hurt on the job, with no worker compensation. We have
no benefits, no vacation, no sick time. So what I’m asking is for you to please stand by
us, walk with us, and help us win a living wage.”
Now more than ever, home care workers know what’s possible when we stick together and
demand change for our families. Together, we will keep uniting with thousands of homecare
workers across the country to make a difference for home care workers and all working families
in 2016.
I’m going to go back home and tell everyone we need to keep fighting. We are out of the
shadows and we are not going to stop until everyone across the nation has a living wage and a
union.”

I Organizing for America
John --
President Barack Obama will soon sign comprehensive health care reform into law. A century-long fight
will finally be won.
As the President wrote last night, it was you who made this improbable victory possible. It was volunteers
knocking on doors, talking to neighbors, and proving once again that Americans, standing together, can change
the course of a nation.
Sup porters like us now have a chance to add our names as "Co-signers" of this historic legislation -
adding our names next to President Obama's to show our pride in helping to bring about this great
achievement.
Organizing for America will establish a permanent archive with all the signatures, so that generations to
come will have a record of those who stood together in this moment and won this fight for our future. And I will
personally present all the names we collect to the President. Will you add vour name?
1 1 Co-sian with the President
This is the most significant domestic achievement in decades. And this movement of Americans, committed to
improving their country, made it possible.
We turned out for that first cold morning in Springfield, for the canvasses in New Hampshire, for the phone banks
in Iowa. We kept fighting when no one gave us a chance and the cynics told us we were clinging to a false
hope.
We organized for health reform. We spread the facts on doorsteps, in town halls, and through millions of
conversations. Your voice rang through the halls of Congress and filled the pages of local newspapers.
It took many months and tremendous resolve, but we built a national network of support so strong that when the
deceptive attack ads choked the airwaves and the pundits declared our effort defeated — we had what it took to
fight our way back.
And we won: the toughest insurance regulations in history, affordable coverage for 32 million without it, relief
from skyrocketing costs for small business owners and from rising deficits for our children.
That's the story of how change really happens. And now, hundreds of millions will have better lives because of
it.
It's rare to be part of something so meaningful that will help change the course of history. But you are.
Please consider adding your name as co-signer today to commemorate your efforts:

Subject: FW: December 4th Deadline!
Hello!
I'm Katie Gulley, the Organizing Director for the BlueGreen Alliance, and I wanted
to be sure you saw the email from Rob below. Our field staff are working around
the country in a final push to beat the December 4th deadline for comments to the
EPA urging them to support strong standards to reduce methane in the energy
sector. You can help!
Send a comment to the EPA today, and share this message with five
friends to encourage them to advocate for these standards!
Strong methane standards mean safer workplaces, better air quality, more energy
savings, and improved public health. Beat the deadline with your comment
today!
Sincerely,
Katie Gulley

GOOD JOBS. CLEAN ENVIRONMENT, OKCEN ECONOMY
Dear John,
The EPA has proposed new standards to greatly reduce one of the most significant
factors contributing to climate change: methane leaks.
Do your part to keep workers safe on the job, while stopping climate-
damaging leaks by urging the EPA to finalize these standards!
Researchers recently measured that in the U.S. alone, over 2.4 billion metric
tons of methane is released into the atmosphere every year from leaks and
outdated equipment in the oil and gas industry. This amount — enough to heat more
than 5 million homes each year — is much more powerful in trapping heat than
carbon dioxide and stays in the atmosphere for over 12 years. The use of old,
wasteful methods used to produce, contain, and transport natural gas is
unnecessary and blatant, and you can help stop it.
As of today, we've had nearly 900 concerned citizens send in their
comments to the EPA to stop natural gas leaks, but we need YOUR help to
reach our goal of 2,000 by December 4.
It takes less than two minutes of your time, and you will be playing a critical role in
protecting workers and communities from wasteful practices that are harming our
climate.

Subject: Wait list issues
Prof. Leon--
It was nice to meet you last night, and I enjoyed the first class even though I'm not officially enrolled. I did confirm
this afternoon that Ms Bealer dropped your class today, so there should be an open seat as of today.
Unfortunately, while I'm very excited about the prospect of taking your class before I graduate in May, the
Registrar's initial read after my add/drop request is that I am not permitted to register. They have not provided
much of a rationale. I am waiting on a response, and I clearly pointed out that I registered through the last
chance lottery and am currently #1 on the wait list. I'm not sure what can be done, but right now it appears I will
not be permitted to register and forfeit what seems likely to remain an open seat.
I bring this to your attention primarily for situational awareness, but also on the off chance that you might have
any influence over this situation. I have been hoping and planning to take this class for nearly three years, and it
would be extremely unfortunate if I was barred from doing so by a very minor technicality.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts, and I hope to see you next Monday.
Humbly,
William "BJ" Donovan

Hi John -
I have a quick question and hope you can help me get to the right place or right person!
One of my clients is Friendly House, the settlement house/community service agency in Worcester, MA. Gordon
Hargrove, their Executive Director, is celebrating 50 years at Friendly House and 47 as CEO, at a large community
dinner in late June. I am on the committee working on the celebration and plan to travel up to attend the dinner.
I just learned that several members of the Committee drafted a letter to the President with a very specific
request. Because the President will be in Worcester the week before the dinner to deliver the commencement
speech at Worcester Tech, they are asking if there is a possibility to record a brief video with him while there that
could be used as part of the tribute at the dinner.
You know that just about the only place in my life I am very conservative is in asking my friends like you and Jeanne
for favors and connections. I am pushing this boundary because my client and friend Gordon is a very special
human being who does God's work in ways that are humbling and powerful. What I hope you can give me is the
connection I need so that the Committee can get the letter to the best person in the system who will try and make
turning the video request into a reality. Jim McGovern is our usual local resource and go-to-guy, but I am thinking
that you may have a more direct connection.
Thanks so much!

Dear Mr. Cory Booker,
My best wishes and success as next New Jersey Senator I have been conducting an inexorable pertinacious
correspondence with the White House as well as US Senate Committee on Armed Services pertaining the Dual Headed
Monster-Drugs and Terror
To my great astonishment none of my letters has been hitherto responded despite the extraordinary importance of these
issues that jeopardize Mankind.
According to my assessment, NATO is on a verge of an Ignominious Defeat in Afghanistan as a result of Narcotic
Vegetation Abundance extending on Immense 157,000 hectares converted to Weaponry and Drugs in order to attack
innocent people
I believe to have developed an innovative method capable of eradicating Poppy Opium Vegetation by Unmanned Aircraft
utilizing defoliants that cause it to dry up within several days inevitably Those dry bushes left behind by pulling out NATO
Troops as a souvenir for El-Qaida might have been a restoration of US deterrence intensity eroded to a great extent after
Nine Eleven Horrendousness. Substitution of
Conventional Belligerency to Herbicidal one would have contributed to improvement of US stance in the World anyway.
Please contact me in order to get Technical Specification required for Unmanned Aircraft Modification for Narcotic
Vegetation Desertification as previously described
In favor of entire Mankind Affluence
I suggest exerting an influence on the President to assign the method mentioned above
Sincerely
Gideon Rodeh I imagine thousands of Unmanned Aircraft attack simultaneously the Narcotic Vegetation in South
Eastern Asia and Central America transmuting it becoming an Arid Desert

Just off a call with HRC. She wants to make sure we get this out so we are not locked into misinterpretation.
Given that people are asking I think we should do that in the natural course of responding to q's.

Three footnotes:
1) I added in cities across the country, because I think we'll eventually get around to
differentiating between a federal floor everywhere and living wage in urban places, but you can lose it if
it seems clunky.
2) dropped SEIU reference to emphasize solidarity with the workers
3) I kept higher wages, but would be fine substituting living for higher.

Based on the conversation on this morning's call, below is a draft of the line that we could give out if
we get pressed today on what the correct interpretation is of her remarks to the SEIU yesterday. We
would not deploy this right away but only if a critical mass of our regulars put us on the spot:
As Hillary Clinton expressed yesterday, she strongly supports the SEIU's mobilization of workers in the
fast-food industry to fight for a higher minimum wage. In the coming weeks, she will lay out her specific
plans for increasing wages.

Adding Shapiro for any thoughts.
In his public response Thursday afternoon, Branstad emphasized the federal agency’s willingness to approve the shift, despite
the delay. “The decision by CMS formally puts the wheels in motion to implement our Medicaid Modernization plan on March 1,”
the governor said in a prepared statement Thursday afternoon. “The CMS letter effectively gives the green light to Iowa as long
as steps are taken to build on the progress already made. Iowa’s Medicaid Modernization plan is similar to plans CMS has
approved in 39 other states. From the very beginning, our focus has been on improving patients’ health outcomes. Current
Medicaid patients should continue working with their Managed Care Organizations for a March 1 kick-off.’’

We're trying to keep this very simple and high-level, no more than two pages, so she doesn't need a

And while I did not know Justice Scalia, and disagreed with his views every bit as much as Mike and Gary, I
respected him for his commitment, integrity, and brilliance. (And his votes on the flagburning cases!). But even if

I must chime in because I had the honor of knowing Justice Scalia, though we were far from close friends. For a short time, he
was a visitor at Georgetown Law, where I first met him. Then, for a short time, he "worked" for me, teaching contracts in a bar
review course, and later, also for a short time, he hired me as a consultant at the Administrative Conference of the United States.
I also recruited him twice to talk to the annual black-tie banquet of the American Inns of Court, and our paths continued to cross
in connection with the American Inns as well as at Georgetown. While we were not close, one of my cherished memories was
two hours in a cocktail lounge in San Francisco - he saw me register at the hotel and asked if I had time — while he waited for his
son - the talk was warm and meaningful, and he listened to me even when he disagreed.
Of course, he was a vicious questioner on the Court. I expect that most of us watched him in action. But he was not alone.
Going back a decade or two, I experienced the questioning of Justice Frankfurter and Black in a case in which they did not like my
position one bit. Frankfurter particularly, and Black a little less so (and with more of a southern graciousness), were just as
vicious in their questioning. Of course, he voted in some (many?) cases differently than I would have liked. But, let us recall, he
won only when he had four colleagues who went along - and he also did not always win. As far as I know, he was well liked by
his colleagues, ever after he skewered them in dissents. FH is friendship with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is well known - and her
graciousness yesterday should be the pattern for all of us.
Yes, I disagreed with many of his views and votes. But that does not take away from my admiration of his mind - and of the
many hours he spent at Georgetown (I assume elsewhere as well) speaking with students. Indeed, perhaps the latter is a
characteristic that we all should emulate.
Thus, I join with Mike Gottesman and Mitt Regan and the gracious words of the Dean - as well as of Justice Ginsburg.

With respect to the votes Justice Scalia cast on the Supreme Court, I'd probably agree with Mike Seidman and Gary Peller 100% of
the time. But I don't agree with their disapproval of the Dean's statement. Justice Ginsburg has said roughly the same as the
Dean. Whatever one thinks of his jurisprudence, Scalia was an extraordinarily significant figure who also, coincidentally, was a
friend of our institution. As for bullying and humiliating advocates who appeared before the Court, nobody on our faculty
experienced that anywhere close to what I did. I didn't like it as it was happening, but I never doubted his "brilliance." It would
be a sad day if, as an institution, we were incapable of honoring important public figures upon their death simply because most
of us disagree with the positions they took. Our public face as an institution of scholars should suggest that we're open-minded
and receptive to all views, even if (sadly) it's not always true.
I do think it would have been prudent (if only to fend off the criticisms Mike and Gary have surfaced) to have included a qualifier
in the public statement that suggested Scalia's views were controversial and not shared by all in our institution, but I think it's a
big stretch to read the statement as seemingly embracing Scalia's views. It doesn't say that, and I didn't think it inferred it,
either.

Subject: RE: Justice Scalia
Dean Treanor and Colleagues:
Like Mike Seidman, I also was put-off by the invocation of the "Georgetown Community" in the press release that Dean T reanor issued Saturday. I
imagine many other faculty, students and staff, particularly people of color, women and sexual minorities, cringed at headline and at the
unmitigated praise with which the press release described a jurist that many of us believe was a defender of privilege, oppression and bigotry, one
whose intellectual positions were not brilliant but simplistic and formalistic.
I am not suggesting that J. Scalia should have been criticized on the day of his death, nor that the "community" should not be thankful for his
willingness to meet with our students. But he was not a legal figure to be lionized or emulated by our students. He bullied lawyers, trafficked in
personal humiliation of advocates, and openly sided with the party of intolerance in the "culture wars" he often invoked. In my mind, he was not a
"giant" in any good sense.
It is tricky knowing what to say when a public figure like Scalia, or the late Robert Byrd, or other voices of intolerance, meet their death. But as an
academic institution, I believe that we should be wary of contributing to the mystification of people because of the lofty official positions they
achieved. I don't want to teach our students to hold someone like Scalia in reverence because he's a "Supreme Court Justice." Our proximity to
official Washington provides an opportunity to see many public officials close-up, and to learn that there is nothing special that titles bestow-even
a Supreme Court Justice can be a bigot, and there is no reason to be intimidated by the purported "brilliance" that others describe because, when
you have a chance to see and hear such people close-up, the empowering effect is often, as it should be, de-mystification. (I was happy to meet
Warren Burger as a law student for this very reason). We should never teach our students to be obsequious to those with power.
The "Georgetown Community" could mean many things. In one sense, it is simply a legally constituted set of formal relations, and in that sense
10/18/2016

Page 2547
perhaps "the Dean," duly appointed by "the President," speaks for that "institution" of formal legal relations.
But there is also a lived community that we inhabit, within the interstices of the formal and contractually defined roles, a community that exists in
our relations with each other and with our co-workers and our students, a community that is constituted in our hallways and class rooms and lunch
rooms, and in our affection for and commitment to one another, and, for many of us, a vision of how we could all be together in the law school,
disagreeing often but always trying to be sensitive and empathic to all members of our community.
That is the "Georgetown Community" that I feel a part of, a lived community of tolerance, affection, and care that so many have built for so long
here. That "community" would never have claimed that our entire community mourns the loss of J. Scalia, nor contributed to his mystification
without regard for the harm and hurt he inflicted. That community teaches critique, not deference, and empowerment, not obseqiuosness.
Sometimes the two senses of community might merge-the formal, legal institution might be so at one with the lived community that its legitimacy to
speak for the "community" flows organically. But that is not our situation.

Gary

Express-Scripts (based in St. Louis) is now the 26th corporation (along w / four major non-profits and 55
confirmed elected leaders) to drop ALEC.
This also makes Express-Scripts the sixth corporation to have their departure from ALEC announced within the

Express-Scripts is Twenty-Sixth Corporation to Dump ALEC

Pharmacy benefits manager Express-Scripts told the Center for Media and Democracy today that it has ended its membership in the
American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), making it the twenty-sixth business to dump ALEC in recent months.
Antoine's Restaurant in New OrleansExpress-Scripts' head of corporate communications David Whitrap
confirmed to CMD that the corporation has dropped its ALEC membership but did not provide a reason. The
St. Louis, Missouri-based Express-Scripts had been a member of ALEC and its Health and Human Services
Task Force since at least 201 0 . At the 201 1 ALEC Annual Meeting, Express-Scripts sponsored the
"Missouri Night" party for legislators from the state at Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans.
On Tuesday, Color of Change announced that Express-Scripts competitor CVS would be dropping its ALEC
membership, along with four other companies . CVS and Express-Scripts are the country's largest
pharmacy benefits managers, handling prescription benefits for employers and health plans and using
their clout to negotiate discounts from drug makers. After Walgreens terminated a contract with Express-
Scripts, many customers were reportedly diverted from Express-Scripts to CVS, tightening competition
between the two companies.
Walgreens' move to terminate its contract with Express-Scripts was denounced by civil rights leaders like Al Sharpton, as it would increase
prescription drug costs for low-income individuals whose only neighborhood pharmacy is Walgreens, but whose health care plans use Express-
Scripts. Walgreens remains an ALEC member and is a member of the ALEC Health and Human Services Task Force.
Express Scripts is the 26th corporation to leave ALEC in recent months. The corporate "bill mill" has come under increasing scrutiny in recent
months as the public has become aware of its role in advancing the "Stand Your Ground" law initially cited to protect Trayvon Martin's killer, as
well as voter suppression bills, union-busting policies, and other controversial legislation. A full list of corporations that have dropped their
ALEC memberships can be viewed here .

Boston Globe: Poll: Mass. Democrats would back Clinton over Warren
By Jim O’Sullivan
August 25, 2014
More than three times as many Massachusetts Democrats would vote for Hillary Clinton if she ran for president in
2016 than would back the state’s senior senator, Elizabeth Warren, according to a poll released Monday by
Suffolk University and The Boston Herald.
Clinton, the former secretary of state and first lady, would garner 55 percent of the vote among 400
Massachusetts Democrats likely to vote in next month’s gubernatorial primary, while Warren -- who has
repeatedly said that she is not running for president -- would curry 17.25 percent. Vice President Joe Biden drew
just 7.75 percent of the vote. Warren would be the second choice of 27 percent of those polled, while Biden
would get almost 24 percent of the back-up vote.
Warren unseated former Republican senator Scott Brown in 2012, with a winning margin of 8 percentage points.
On the same ballot, President Obama beat Mitt Romney, the state’s former governor, by 23 percentage points.
Warren has disavowed on multiple occasions interest in running for president, but has not foreclosed entirely on
the option.
The same poll shows Attorney General Martha Coakley leading the gubernatorial primary with more than 42
percent of the vote, with Treasurer Steve Grossman at 30 percent -- portraying a race significantly closer than a
series of public polls have showed. Coakley advisers have acknowledged they expect the race to tighten as
the Sept. 9 primary draws near and Grossman’s on-air presence has outpaced Coakley’s.
Former federal health care administrator Don Berwick drew 16 percent of the vote. More than 1 1 percent of
voters were undecided. Asked how they would vote if their preferred candidate loses in the primary, 26 percent
of voters said they were undecided, while 60 percent said they would back the Democratic nominee.
Conducted Aug. 21 to Aug. 24 among 400 likely Democratic primary voters, the poll carries an error margin of
plus or minus 4.9 percent.
The Suffolk/Herald poll also quizzed 400 Republicans likely to vote in the GOP primary. More than 70 percent
said they planned to vote for venture capitalist Charlie Baker over Tea Party-affiliated Mark Fisher, who slightly
more than 1 1 percent of the vote.
When asked to compare Baker to Romney, 44 percent said Romney was a better statewide candidate. Less than
24 percent selected Baker.
By a smaller margin, less than 5 percentage points, Republican voters said Brown was a better candidate than
Baker.

The poll showed New Jersey governor Chris Christie, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Kentucky senator Rand
Paul, and Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, clustered atop the
leaderboard of the Massachusetts presidential primary. Each earned between 10 and 11 percent of the vote.
When the question was asked with Romney added to the list, 49 percent said he would be their first choice, while
all the other candidates plunged below 8 percent.
National Review: No. Hillary Doesn’t Need to Speak About Ferguson
By Charles C. W. Cooke
August 25, 2014 10:53 a.m. EDT
In Politico, Maggie Haberman notes that Hillary Clinton has not yet commented on the situation in Ferguson:
Hillary Clinton ignored reporters’ questions about the racial conflict in Ferguson, Missouri, on Sunday at the end
of a book-signing event in Westhampton Beach, a vacation enclave near her rented summer house.
Clinton, the potential 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful who has been vacationing in the Hamptons since the
first full week of August, has not yet commented on the situation in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, where an
unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was killed by a police officer two weeks ago.
So what? As a general rule, we really do not need to hear from absolutely everybody in the political class each
and every time that something dramatic happens. If Hillary Clinton wishes to pronounce upon the topic, I’m sure
she will. If she doesn’t, then she doesn’t have to. Either way, there’s no particular reason we need to hear her
take. She’s not an elected official. She has no authority over Ferguson, Missouri. She has no more information
than anybody else. She is, for now at least, a citizen of the United States. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, it might be politically interesting that she has stayed silent. Reticence, after all, is not a virtue that is
typically associated with the family. But one suspects that this is not why she is being urged to speak. Instead,
those doing the urging seem to want to add her voice to whatever agenda they are trying to sell. Haberman
writes:
The Rev. Al Sharpton, at a rally in Ferguson last weekend, pushed toward the future, calling on all the 2016
potential candidates, including Clinton and Republican Jeb Bush, to comment on the situation. Clinton is the
clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
This, frankly, is absurd. At the heart of the situation in Ferguson is a question that neither Clinton nor Bush can
possibly answer. That question: “Was the killing of Michael Brown justified?” Neither Bush nor Clinton know the
answer to this. Indeed, they cannot possibly know the answer to this. In consequence, asking them to pronounce
upon the secondary issues is downright silly. What, pray, can they say? They don’t know whether the protests

are justified or misplaced because they don’t know whether there was any wrongdoing. Presumably neither of
them is going to endorse rioting, nor are they likely to defend some of the poor policing we have seen. Worse
still, anything either one of them were to say would immediately be taken as an endorsement of one side or
another — an endorsement that they cannot and should not be making at this juncture. Let’s leave the post-
mortems to those involved.
The Courier-Journal: Rand Paul labels Hillary Clinton a "war hawk"
By James R. Carroll
August 25, 2014, 12:07 p.m. EDT
WASHINGTON - Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is continuing his unrelenting criticism of former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying on Sunday that she was "a war hawk" who could get the United States involved in
another Middle East conflict.
Paul appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," interviewed while on his humanitarian mission to Guatemala
performing eye surgeries.
A possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate, Paul went after Clinton, a possible 2016 Democratic
presidential candidate.
"I think that's what scares the Democrats the most, is that in a general election, were I to run, there's gonna be a
lot of independents and even some Democrats who say, 'You know what, we are tired of war. We're worried that
Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another Middle Eastern war, because she's so gung-ho,"' Paul told NBC's
Chris Jansing.
"If you wanna see a transformational election in our country, let the Democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary
Clinton, and you'll see a transformation like you've never seen," the Kentucky senator said.
Paul added that he believes "the American public is coming more and more to where I am" on American
engagement overseas.
The senator also discussed the shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., that touched off days
of protests and unrest, as well as a military-style response from area police.
Paul has been calling for an overhaul of drug laws and sentencing, saying that the legal system is
disenfranchising minorities far more than whites and is hurting the ability of those who commit non-violent crimes
from getting jobs.
"Let's say none of this has to do with race," Paul said of the Ferguson situation. "It might not, but the belief-- if
you're African American and you live in Ferguson, the belief is, you see people in prison and they're mostly black

and brown, that somehow it is racial, even if the thoughts that were going on at that time had nothing to do with
race."
"So it's a very good chance that had this had nothing to do with race, but because of all of the arrest and
the. ..way people were arrested, that everybody perceives it as, 'My goodness, the police are out to get us,' you
know? And so that's why you have to change the whole war on drugs. It's not just this one instance," he said.
"And I don't know what happened during the shooting, so I'm not gonna make a judgment on the shooting. But I
do know what's happening, as far as that you look at who's in our prisons," Paul said.
But the senator himself came under fire from Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for President George W.
Bush and now a Washington Post columnist.
Gerson said on "Meet the Press" that "it is wonderful, what he's doing" in Guatemala performing eye surgeries
for the poor.
"But he's a senator, and a possible presidential candidate, and his policy views matter," Gerson said.
"He's called for the gradual elimination of all foreign aid. Now, I've seen its effect in sub-Saharan Africa and other
places. This would cause misery for millions of people on AIDS treatment. It would betray hundreds of thousands
of children receiving, you know, malaria treatment," Gerson said.
"These are things that you can't ignore in a presidential candidate," he added. "This is a perfect case of how a
person can have good intentions but how an ideology can cause terrible misery. He will need to explain that. This
is his policy views."
The Democratic National Committee, which is responding to Paul just about every time he makes a public
statement, pounced on the senator's criticism of Clinton.
"Senator Paul's foreign policy vision is to retreat from our responsibilities abroad by ending all foreign aid to our
allies - including Israel," charged DNC spokesman Michael Czin. "That's the vision he's laid out and defended
time and time again. ..If Senator Paul wants to have a debate between his fringe, isolationist vision and that of
Democrats who have restored our credibility around the world and brought countless service members safely
home, that's a debate we're eager to have."
CBS News: Few Americans identify as libertarian, survey finds

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., appears to be a competitive contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, but
few Americans identify with his political ideology, according to a new survey.
Only 14 percent of Americans identify as libertarian, according to new Pew Research Center data. Fewer, just 1 1
percent, identify as libertarian and also correctly define the term as "someone whose political views emphasize
individual freedom by limiting the role of government."
Additionally, Pew found that self-described libertarians do not always subscribe to libertarian views. For instance,
libertarianism is often associated with non-interventionist foreign policy beliefs. Paul over the weekend said
derisively, "Let the Democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary Clinton." However, Pew found that as many as
43 percent of self-described libertarians think "it is best for the future of our country to be active in world affairs."
By comparison, just 35 percent of the general public said the same.
In other areas, the views held by self-described libertarians were more in line with typical libertarian believes. As
many as 82 percent say "Americans shouldn't have to give up privacy and freedom in order to be safe from
terrorism." Nearly three-quarters of the general public said the same thing.
Additionally, more self-described libertarians (56 percent) than the public overall (47 percent) say government
regulation of business does more harm than good. Self-described libertarians are also more likely than the
general public to disapprove of social safety-net programs and more likely to support legalizing marijuana.
Pew found that men were twice as likely as women (15 percent compared with 7 percent) to identify as
libertarian, while college graduates (15 percent) were more likely to identify as libertarian than those with just a
high school education (7 percent).
While just 6 percent of Democrats identified as libertarian, 14 percent of independents and 12 percent of
Republicans did so.
Pew's data comes from its political typology and polarization survey conducted earlier this year, as well as a
recent survey of a subset of those respondents, conducted April 29-May 27 among 3,243 adults.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Don't say I didn't tell you that, as soon as Hillary Clinton drifted anywhere within an area code of running for
president, all the pre-fabricated skeletons would come waltzing out of the closets. Don't say I didn't caution of the
danger inherent in having an entire generation of political reporters the formative political events of which was
the constant pursuit of former president Clinton by an incredible posse of grifters, legal highwaymen, Arkansas
bunco artists, oppo outlaws, and political opportunists. (Hi there, Joe Scarborough!) Is this my horn which I see
before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me toot thee.
This brings us back to the bait shop in Arkansas. It would be a capital mistake to believe that Ms. Clinton's years
as a senator, and as a presidential candidate, and as secretary of state - to say nothing of the postpresidential
popularity of her husband - have somehow put all the ghosts of the 1990s to rest. The political climate is even
wilder now, the political conversation, in many quarters, even further detached from reality than it was when
Rush Limbaugh openly passed along a report that Vince Foster had died in some Washington pied-a-terre, only
to have his body moved to Fort Marcy Park. There are thousands of little Limbaughs now, on the radio and on
the Internet. A lot of mainstream political journalism is being practiced by young people whose formative lessons
in the business were not Woodward and Bernstein chasing down lead after futile lead, but rather Matt Drudge
ruling the world in the 1990s, with all the elite press chasing after him. I would like to believe we all have learned
as much as we've needed to learn from that incredible decade of enabled slander. I also would like to believe in
unicorns.
Still think I was overreacting? Get a gander at Tiger Beat On The Potomac this morning. Josh Gerstein, his prose
shadowy and performed in the minor key of innuendo and scandal, has a long piece about the "secret files"
stashed at the Clinton library down in darkest Arkansas, and if you find the general theme of the piece familiar,
you are not alone. For more than 20 years, people have treated the Clintons as though they were a subject for
one of those History 2 specials on the Templars, or something to be discussed by. ..The Most Awesome Man On
Television.
Secrets Of The Clinton Library.
Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!
There's the usual boilerplate about "transparency" and our Right To Know, but Gerstein wastes little time getting
himself a seat around the fire at Parker Dozhier's bait shoppe, and he has some tales to tell in the firelight. Pass
that jug over here, Billy Ray.
The pardon feeding frenzy: The last-minute pardon of billionaire financier Marc Rich became one of the most
infamous moments of Clinton's presidency, sullying the president's reputation as he walked out the door. Less
well-known or remembered is the feeding frenzy of clemency applications that flowed into the White House in the
weeks before Clinton left office. The list of individuals relaying pardon requests is a who's who of prominent
Democratic Party figures.
Yeah, and your point is? I hate to keep bringing this up, but the president's power to pardon is absolute -- so,
naturally, a lot of people who know him are going to press their personal cases on him. Even if Clinton's
reputation was "sullied," as though that were ever a concern of the people who howled about the Rich pardon,
so what?
Many of the requests are already public. What's set to emerge in the coming weeks are the recommendations
Clinton got from the Justice Department and his own staffers, including the pros and cons of the most sensitive
pardons.

White House staffers may have disagreed? Glorioski, what was wrong with those Clintons anyway?
3) Vince Foster: The Clinton Library has never released its key files on the death of Vince Foster, a White House
attorney and former law partner of Hillary Clinton. Foster killed himself in July 1993 as he was handling various
controversies that enmeshed the Clintons in their early months at the White House. The event was emotionally
scarring for many in the Clintons' circle and fueled numerous conspiracy theories.
Oh, dear Jesus, can we not go there again? The poor man killed himself in Fort Marcy Park and, in his suicide
note, specifically denounced the Wall Street Journal under crazoid Bob Bartley, and the Washington press corps
generally, for their tendency to "destroy people for sport." His corpse was then used by horrible people -- like
Rush Limbaugh, and Aqua Buddha's new pal, David Bossie -- to flog conspiracy theories as a way of throwing
sand in the gears of a Democratic administration. It was the single most indecent act of ratfking in my memory.
And now, apparently, it's back.
At the time of Foster's death, he was deeply involved in responding to a lawsuit filed against Clinton's Health
Care Task Force. One previously secret document is listed this way in Clinton Library files: "Photcopy [sic] Note
from Vincent Foster to Hillary Rodham Clinton [Re: Health Care Task Force lawsuit] (1 page)." Of the half-dozen
other handwritten notes Foster saved, several are set for release, but - fueling unending conspiracy theories -
several of his other writings are still slated to be withheld on privacy grounds. National Archives and Records
Administration records obtained by POLITICO also indicate the forthcoming files include "White House personnel
opinions on what to do about disclosure" relating to the Foster saga as well as legal memos about strategies to
fight Freedom of Information Act requests seeking White House records about Foster's death.
Just fking shut up, OK, and let the man rest.
6) White House Travel Office affair.
Oh, come on. Really?
Earlier, public statements by the White House downplayed Hillary's role, but the White House's full records on the
controversy - including legal advice on how to respond to questions about the first lady's actions - have never
been made public. About 2,000 pages of records were withheld from an investigating congressional committee
on executive privilege grounds. Now, many of those records are set for release.
Neighbor, how stands the Republic?
And then, of course, the big finish.
7) Whitewater: Notably absent from the recent Clinton Library releases: any of the more than 56,000 pages the
White House maintained on the Clintons' Whitewater land deal and the years of investigations it gave rise to.
All of which came to absolutely nothing.
It's too early in the day for this much whiskey.

Mediaite: Sarah Palin Finally Does ‘That Ice Bucket Water Dump Thing’
By Matt Wilstein
August 25th, 2014 11:20 a.m. EDT
You would have thought Sarah Palin would have jumped on this bandwagon ages ago. But it wasn’t until this
weekend that the former governor of Alaska and current media mogul decided to get in on the summer’s biggest
viral trend after getting nominated by Wasilla Arctic Cat, which makes the snowmobiles her family loves so much.
“At this stage of my life, of my career, aren’t I a little too prim and proper for all that ice bucket water dump thing?
” Palin asked.
Palin took a page out of Patrick Stewart’s book, putting the emphasis on the check she was writing (and bragging
about doubling the required amount), then using the ice to make drink (Diet Dr. Pepper instead of scotch). But
don’t worry, thanks to someone off-camera, you still get to see Palin scream in agony as cold water is abruptly
poured over her head, possibly ruining the whopping $200 check she had just finished writing.
As for who Palin nominated, she chose former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and “he whom she recently said
is her favorite Republican” (burn), John McCain.

Washington Post: Warren draft group continues ‘full steam ahead.’ despite senator’s complaint
By Nia-Malika Henderson
August 25 at 12:44 p.m. EDT
Normally, when a draft movement crops up for a potential presidential candidate, there is a kind of tacit support
and agreement between the would-be candidate and the group, which technically and legally can’t coordinate
with a the would-be candidate. That’s the case with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Ready for Hillary, a group that
has raised millions of dollars, gathered reams of information on voters and is basically considered to be Clinton’s
2016 campaign-in-waiting.
Well, things are very different for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who progressives really want to draft her for
a 2016 presidential run.
10/18/2016
This version of Total Mail Converter is not registered.
Page 2560
Warren, time and time again, has said she has no intention to run. Progressives don’t care, so they’ve formed
Ready for Warren. But if she’s not running, what’s the point of Ready for Warren? That’s what Warren wants to
know.
In a letter to the Federal Election Commission dated Aug. 22, Warren, through her attorneys, again states that
there is no Warren 2016. And to the group that really hopes she’ll change her mind, she (her lawyers)
essentially says: knock it off.
The Senator has not, and does not, explicitly or implicitly, authorize, endorse, or otherwise approve of the
organization’s formation or activities. To the contrary, Senator Warren has publicly announced that she is not
running for President in 2016. Instead, the Senator hopes this organization will focus its attention and energy on
maintaining Democratic control of the US Senate and not confuse donors about a non-existent run for President.
Sounds pretty clear, right?
Well, Ready for Warren remains undeterred, despite Warren’s pretty clear and public disavowal. Erica Sagrans,
campaign manager for Ready for Warren, says the Massachusetts is still their choice, and they will still carry on,
with all sorts of activities, including house parties.
We will continue full steam ahead with our campaign to draft Senator Warren to run for president in 2016,
because we believe she is the best person for the job. Senator Warren has devoted her life to fighting for
working families, and is one of the few politicians willing to take on Wall Street and champion policies that give all
Americans a fair shot.
We completely agree with Senator Warren that maintaining Democratic control of the Senate in 2014 must be a
top priority leading up to November.
Sagrans, in a comment to She the People, said: “When she ran for Senate, it wasn’t her plan. But when she saw
that she had a chance to run for Senate and saw that she could make a difference in that role, she decided to
do it and the same thing could happen here.”
Basically, we’re at square one. Warren says she isn’t running. Again. Ready for Warren says they really want
her to run.
Here’s the thing about draft movements. They often don’t produce very good candidates for president.
Remember Wesley Clarke? How about that effort to draft Colin Powell? Didn’t exactly work.
You have to go back to Dwight D. Eisenhower, a military man, who was buoyed by an army of organizers and
elected officials who propelled him to the White House in 1952. Running for president is about policies, but it’s
also about personality. It’s about being a good candidate (being good on television and good at giving
speeches and debating helps out with that.)
But to put themselves through a grueling years long process of running, candidates have to have a burning
desire to actually run for president and to be the president. Warren doesn’t seem to have that. At least not yet.
Maybe Ready for Warren, a group she doesn’t approve of can convince her otherwise. But beyond that, there’s
still a question of whether she would make a good candidate for president in that backslapping, kissing babies
sort of way.

The Hill: Bernie Sanders headed to Iowa
By Alexander Bolton
August 25, 2014, 1:01 p.m. EDT
Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), an independent who caucuses with Democrats, is planning a trip to Iowa next month
at the same time Hillary Clinton will be stumping in the battleground state.
Sanders announced Monday that he will attend a series of town-hall meetings on Sept. 13 and 14 in Iowa, which
will host the first contest of the 2016 presidential primary.
Clinton, the early front-runner in the 2016 Democratic primary, will be in Iowa the same weekend as Sanders.
She plans to attend Sen. Tom Harkin’s (D-lowa) annual steak fry.
Sanders has flirted with the idea of running for president, saying he would consider a campaign if no credible
alternative on the left emerged to take on Clinton. He’s also said Democrats should not anoint Clinton as their
candidate.
And Iowa isn’t the only early-voting state Sanders is visiting.
He will travel this week to South Carolina, an important early primary state, to speak in Columbia at an event
sponsored by Progressive Voters of America, South Forward and South Carolina Progressive Network.
Sanders also will attend the Fighting Bob Fest, an annual gathering of progressives in Wisconsin, on Sep. 12
and 13. The event is named after the late progressive stalwart Sen. Bob La Follette (R-Wis.).
An announcement issued by Sanders’s political operation stated that Sanders will be in Iowa Sept. 12 and 13,
but a senior Sanders aide said his boss would be there Sept. 13 and 14, instead.
CNN Money: Hillary Clinton Voted "Most Likely to be President" While Joe Biden Voted "Class
Clown" by Americans

[Subtitle:] Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton are the presidents Americans would most want to have as a high
school teacher; Barack Obama the one Americans would never want to have
NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As President Obama continues to deal with a number of crises,
criticism over his vacation and his job ratings also continue to drift downward. This month, almost one-third of
Americans (32%) give the President positive ratings for the overall job he is doing, while almost seven in ten
(68%) give him negative ratings. This is down from last month, when 34% gave him positive ratings and 66%
gave him negative marks; this is the second time this year (January being the other) that his ratings have been
this low.
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll® of 2,537 adults surveyed online between August 1 3 and 1 8,
2014. (Full results, including data tables, available here )
After hitting a "high" mark for the past two years in June with a positive rating of 10%, Congress also drifts
downward. Last month 9% of Americans gave them positive ratings and this month 8% do so, while 92% of
Americans give them negative marks on the overall job they are doing. Looking at the country as a whole, one-
third of Americans (32%) say things are going in the right direction in the country, while almost seven in ten
(68%) say things have gotten off on the wrong track. Last month, three in ten (31%) said things were going in
the right direction, while seven in ten (69%) said things were going off on the wrong track.
If Washington was like a high school yearbook
As kids around the country go back to school, it is interesting to look at some visible politicians in Washington
and around the country and harken back to those high school yearbook lists. There was that one person who
was class clown and another who was voted most likely to be President. Well, when given a list of 12 politicians,
here is how Americans would vote (top two for each category shown):
Class Clown: Joe Biden (21%) and Chris Christie (14%)
Most Likely to Succeed: Hillary Clinton (15%) and Chris Christie/Rand Paul/Elizabeth Warren (7%)
Teacher's Pet: Joe Biden/Nancy Pelosi/Hillary Clinton (9%) and Harry Reid (7%)
Best Hair: Marco Rubio/Elizabeth Warren (8%) and Nancy Pelosi (7%)
Most Likely to be President: Hillary Clinton (34%) and Chris Christie/Marco Rubio (6%)
Most Annoying: Nancy Pelosi (19%) and John Boehner (1 1%)
Most Popular: Hillary Clinton (13%) and Chris Christie (9%)
Presidents as High School Teachers
While many U.S. Presidents taught law and at the college level, John Adams, Millard Fillmore, James Garfield
and Chester Arthur taught at the primary and secondary levels as well. So, what if recent U.S. Presidents were
high school teachers? Are there ones people wish they could have had as a teacher and ones they never would
have wanted to have? Over one-third of Americans (37%) say they wish they could have had Ronald Reagan as
10/18/2016

a teacher, while one-quarter (26%) wish they could have had Bill Clinton. Just over one in ten wish they could
have had Barack Obama (13%) and Jimmy Carter (12%), while under one in ten wish they could have had
George H.W. Bush (6%) and George W. Bush (5%).
On the other side, two in five Americans (40%) say they would never want to have had Barack Obama as a
teacher, while three in ten (30%) say they same about George W. Bush. One in ten (10%) say they would not
have wanted to have George H.W. Bush as a teacher, while less than one in ten say that about Ronald Reagan
(7%), Jimmy Carter (7%) and Bill Clinton (6%).
To see how all the politicians stacked up for the high school yearbook questions as well as other recent Harris
Polls, please visit the Harris Poll News Room.
Methodology
This Harris Poll was conducted online within the United States between August 13 and 18, 2014 among 2,537
adults (aged 18 and over). Figures forage, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were
weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score
weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of
error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error
associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey
weighting and adjustments. Therefore, The Harris Poll avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading.
All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted,
random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close
to this ideal.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll
surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is
based on those who agreed to participate in our panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be
calculated.
These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.

Cheryl,
John and I were discussing what a potential point of view on Ready for Hillary lists might be and I was saying
that I think we need to wait to decide on that until we know what our long-term legal situation will be. At that
point, we should sit down and come up with an overall theory of the case on how we want to handle potential
help from outside groups.
We have to assume that someone will file a complaint no matter what we do so it seems especially important that
everyone is completely on board with whatever decision we make especially the lawyers who need to defend it.
Thoughts?

Subject: We Need Common Sense Solutions
Dear John & Mary,
Combating terrorism requires common sense measures, backed by
legislation from our representatives.
State senators and delegates have rolled up their sleeves to draft a
bill prohibiting people on terrorist watch lists from buying guns in Maryland.
I will be signing on to cosponsor this important legislation. Seems like
common sense, right?
Not to Governor Larry Hogan. Congressman Van Hollen asked the Governor
to consider taking all necessary actions to protect our state from
terrorism and the Governor dismissed his appeal as "politics" and
"silly."
Instead, Hogan has called on President Obama to ban Syrian refugees
from Maryland. Governor Hogan is merely feeding the fear incited by
Donald Trump and others in the Republican party.
We will not block terrorists by being afraid of refugees or by alienating
our Muslim community. We fight terrorism through sensible laws that keep
dangerous weapons out of the hands of those who would harm us
(including the mentally unstable). And we need all Americans pulling
together to combat extremist ideologies.
That’s why I voted in 2013 with other sensible legislators to outlaw
assault weapons with large capacity magazines in Maryland. Now we
should take a similar step to ensure that people on a federal watch
list cannot buy guns in Maryland.
Please chip in $3 or more to help me push for sensible gun control
measures in Congress .
So why doesn’t Governor Hogan support this bill? He should look beyond
the NRA and do what it takes to make Maryland’s citizens safer. This
should not be a partisan issue. This should not be about "politics."
And this is not "silly," Governor Hogan.
Please join us in helping Governor Hogan see beyond party lines to
keep suspected terrorists from getting a grip on weapons that can be
used in more mass killings.
Please chip in $3 or more to help me bring common sense to the gun
control debate .

John,
As we have discussed, attached please find my personal invitation to Secretary Clinton to appear at my upcoming forum on the future of
work -Next: Economy, which will be held in San Francisco on November 12 and 13.
I would like to stress our willingness to accommodate Secretary Clinton's schedule in any way we can. She could speak at any time during
the two days of the conference (November 12 or 1 3), or we could arrange for her to speak as the special guest at a seated dinner
on November 12.
This is also noted in the invitation, but I'd like to highlight that I would be happy to convene a more intimate discussion of the key labor issues
related to the technology-driven transformation of the American workforce. Should Secretary Clinton be interested, we would pull together a
select group of CEOs, venture capitalists, and labor advocates from among the summit participants for a focused roundtable to dig deeper
into these topics.
I want to thank you for your help in getting this invitation to Ms. Lona Valmoro, who schedules Secretary Clinton's appearances. Your
assistance is invaluable.
If there is any more information that I can provide on this event, or on O'Reilly Media, please let me know.
Thanks!

Subject: [big campaign] Rules for the Debate
Lynn Sweet previews the rules for tonight's town hall presidential debate moderated by NBC's Tom Brokaw.
The questions will "be culled from a group of 100 to 150 uncommitted likely voters in the audience and another
one-third to come via the Internet." Gallup "has the job of making sure the questioners reflect the demographic
makeup of the nation."
"An audience member will not be allowed to switch questions. Under the deal, the moderator may not ask
followups or make comments. The person who asks the question will not be allowed a follow-up either, and his
or her microphone will be turned off after the question is read. A camera shot will only be shown of the person
asking -- not reacting."
"While there will be director's chairs (with backs and foot rests), McCain and Obama will be allowed to stand --
but they can't roam past their 'designated area' to be marked on the stage. McCain and Obama are not
supposed to ask each other direct questions."
Ben Smith reports that although the McCain and Obama campaigns agreed to rules that did not allow follow
up questions in tonight's town hall debate, moderator Tom Brokaw was not a party to that agreement, "so the
campaigns are expecting follow-up questions."

John,
Now I've seen both Sanders and HRC (which was last night).. He is getting the leapers and, as I told her and Matt, we got the thinkers.
Other than making sure she stays fresh and keeps hitting on the economy, there isn't much left to do.
Everything that can be done is being done and done very well.
I think the tide is back in our direction. Remember, the three rules for Iowa: Rule Number one is organize. Rule 2, organize. Rule 3, get hot at the
end. John, as Ted Cruz is finding out, the end isn't three weeks out or even two weeks out. It is the last five days.
It could be that Iowa Ds are just too liberal, but I like our position.
Dave.

Is there anyway I can tempt you to DC for the evening of June 25? Dr. G is going to be back in town and
once again Tom and I are organizing a fun dinner to welcome him. We're keeping the guest list small -
Carrie and Steve, Linda Thomas Greenfield, Jacob and Lily - but he has specifically requested to see you

Could you kindly extend the invitation to your dad, and, hopefully, join him?

NARAL
Pro-Choice America
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 4, 2008
Change We Can Believe In vs. More of the Same
NARAL Pro-Choice America releases candidates' records on
critical choice-related issues
Washington, DC - Last night. Sen. Barack Obama secured the number of delegates necessary to move on as the
presumptive Democratic nominee for president in the fall. Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice
America, whose organization endorsed Obama in May, said that the real differences between Sens. John
McCain and Barack Obama were clear last night.
"NARAL Pro-Choice America congratulates Sen. Obama for securing the Democratic nomination for president
and looks forward to working with him as the next pro-choice president in the White House," Keenan said.
"There are very real differences between Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Nothing McCain
said last night about freedom and privacy from government intrusion should be misconstrued. McCain's more
than two decades in office have provided him with a record that he will not be able to deny this fall. McCain
may claim to be a moderate and a maverick, but on the issue of choice, he is neither."
Keenan continued that her organization would be targeting pro-choice Republican and Independent women
throughout the election season, educating them on McCain's extreme anti-choice record.
"We will continue our efforts to reach pro-choice Americans across this country, especially the critical voting
bloc of pro-choice Republican and Independent women," Keenan said. "Once these voters hear that John
McCain has voted to block low-income women's access to birth control, supported both of President Bush's
anti-choice nominees to the Supreme Court, and even said he would support the overturn of Roe v. Wade, they
will support pro-choice Barack Obama for president."
In one of the organization's first outreach efforts since endorsing Obama for president, NARAL Pro-Choice
America sent its more than one-million members and activists a comparison of Obama and McCain on critical
reproductive health issues, such as access to abortion care, medically accurate sex education, and birth control.

Subject: Fwd: Memo
I asked for Steve's input. I told him the memo was for his and Susan's eyes only.
Forwarded message
From: Steve Phillips < steve@powerpac.org >
Date: Sep 24, 2007 6:31 PM
Subject: Memo
To: Herb Sandler < hms326@omail.com >
Cc: Susan Sandler < susans@justicematters.oro >
From my preliminary review of the memo, I have three observations to make (well, actually four, with governance of the whole
project being the fourth, but we should discuss that on the phone).
DISCONNECT OF MESSAGING AND MOBILIZATION
The biggest concern I have is the seemingly total disconnect between the Voter Contact/Mobilization section and the
Messaging section. Mobilization does not occur in a vacuum, and effective and strategic messaging can play a big role in
mobilizing the targeted constituencies identified in the memo. The massive immigration marches and the recent mass
mobilization to Jena, Louisiana did not come about primarily through direct voter contact and organizing; they occurred
because mass communication channels (ethnic-specific radio, for the most part, augmented by blogs and text-messaging)
conveyed specific messages that framed the issues, touched people deeply, and moved them to action.
The way the memo is drafted now, it looks like ACORN, US Action and some others will go door-to-door, and then Wes Boyd or
the Hollywood folks will come up with the mass media. Almost by definition, then, the media and messaging will not be
tailored to or effective with the base constituencies. These two areas must be much more closely intertwined, and the folks on
the ground need to have input into the media because they're the ones taking the pulse of the community.
LATINOS
The memo correctly points out that prioritizing reaching Latino voters should be a "top priority." Overall, the existing
infrastructure is quite weak in the Latino community, especially when it comes to large-scale organizations. The We Are
America coalition, however, does show significant promise from everything I hear and could emerge as a significant vehicle for
mobilizing this community. It has a cross-section of community-based groups as well as labor, and they are all at the table
trying to work together. Much as Los Angeles has changed the face of local politics through a Latino-led labor and community
coalition, We Are America could emerge as such a force with sufficient resources and the right leadership.
AFRICAN AMERICANS
This is the area of greatest weakness, and it's somewhat of a national quandry at the moment. We are locked in a vicious
cycle of limited existing capacity among the national groups, a reluctance of funders to publicly acknowledge that lack of
capacity, and a regular allocation of electoral funding that bypasses the existing groups (NAACP, National Coalition for Black
Civic Participation) which, while understandable in the short term, simply perpetuates the problem in the long run.
While We Are America shows promise in the Latino area, THERE ARE NO CLEAR OPTIONS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY. This problem is additionally acute given the possibility of bringing at least three or four Southern states
(Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia) into play if Obama does win the nomination. The best and most rigorous
operation in the Black community is Anthony Thigpenn's PushBack Network which is building on the excellent and effective
work he's done in Los Angeles to nurture community-based and highly-disciplined electoral programs in New York, Mississippi,
Kentucky, and a few other states. This operation is not yet at scale, but it would be worth exploring how to help it get to scale
or at least solidify its funding. It's my understanding that OSI is giving them a significant grant.
My best thinking, after a couple years of traveling the country and meeting with all manner of activists, is that someone has to
develop and invest in a sustained leadership and capacity-building project in the African American community. If it's just left
to who has capacity each cycle, then there will never come a cycle where there is capacity. I would look at a very rigorous and
numbers-based program that gives limited amounts to existing groups such as NAACP and also has an intensive training and
development component. That way, the numbers can identify who has potential and talent, while making sure that a cohort of
effective, young organizers is developed. I think that Anthony Thigpenn could oversee such an effort if he had sufficient
administrative support to cover his existing work in LA and California. Anthony has nurtured a very, very impressive network
of organizers who have gone on to go great work in Oakland, New York (NY Jobs with Justice), and D.C. (national Jobs with
Justice).
There might be a better way to configure such a program, but something has to be done to break out of this cycle, and
someone has to take leadership on a sustained capacity-building effort that transcends any particular election.
Those are my thoughts for the moment, and I may have more when I've had a chance to read the memo in greater detail.

John,
This morning, people all over the country are talking about this campaign - and it's all
because of you.
Thanks to your support, we crushed our goal, bringing the total raised last
quarter to $925,000 before the critical September 30 FEC deadline - almost 90
percent of contributions coming from grassroots donors. It was an incredible outpouring of
support. You were joined by nearly 3,000 other donors, determined to move our country
forward and stop the Tea Party from doing more damage in Congress.
This is one of the strongest fundraising performances in the country and proves that we're
running a winning campaign - 1 can't thank you enough for making it happen.
Together, we're going to win this thing.
Sean
P.S. It's critical that we keep this momentum going. Our opponent is already on air going
after me - the Chamber of Commerce just placed a TV buy to pile on the attacks. We need
to respond - immediately - before the lies take hold. Can you donate $20 or more to
help me fight back against these Tea Party attacks?

Subject: Our next Supreme Court Justice
ORGANIZING FOR ACTION
John -
This weekend we learned of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. While we didn't always agree
with his rulings, we recognize the passion he held for the law, and his dedication to the institution of the Court.
But now the Supreme Court only has eight members, even as it is about to consider some of the most important
issues facing our country -- from climate change and immigration reform, to women's and workers' rights.
Shockingly, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's first reaction to this news was to say that the Senate
should refuse to do its constitutional duty, and block President Obama from filling the vacancy.
John, the Senate has a responsibility to fairly consider the President's nomination for the court, and we need to
make sure they get the message.
OFA is putting together a petition to send a clear message to the lawmakers obstructing this
process. Make sure your voice is heard -- sign this petition now.
Let's be clear about what the Constitution says about this: When there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the
President is required to nominate someone to fill it, and the Senate must give that nominee fair consideration.
Anyone who says otherwise is putting politics first. The longest time a Supreme Court nominee has ever had to
wait to get a vote was 125 days, and President Obama has more than 300 days remaining in his term.
The Supreme Court is too important to be held hostage by partisan gridlock.
Stand up for a fair nomination process -- add your name to OFA's petition:

Thanks -- more to come soon,

Netanyahu: 'I Will Talk to Obama on Improved Israeli
Security'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would talk with US President Barack
Obama about ways to improve security for Israel when the two men meet in
Washington on Monday morning for the first time in over a year. Among the
central issues will be the renewal of the ten-year Memorandum of Understanding
that expires in 2017, by which Israel received $3.1 billion a year. Israel expects to
renew the deal, but wants to expand it to $50 billion over ten years.

Biden Says ‘No Tolerance’ for Comments from PM’s
Media Czar
While defending the strength of US-lsrael ties as a relationship that can overcome
policy disagreements, Vice President Joe Biden lashed out Saturday night against
what he called “terrible comments” made by Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s media czar appointee Ran Baratz. Addressing the Union for Reform
Judaism’s biennial conference, Biden told the audience during his keynote
speech that “there is no excuse, there should be no tolerance for any member or
employee of the Israeli administration referring to the president of the United
States in derogatory terms. Period. Period. Period.”

Knife, Vehicle, Rocket Attacks Continue as Terror
Victim Dies
The wave of stabbing and vehicle attacks continued yesterday as six Israelis were
wounded in three separate incidents, while a fourth attack occurred early this
morning. On Sunday, four Israelis including a pregnant woman were wounded
when a Palestinian rammed his car into a hitchhiking stop at the Tapuach
Junction in the West Bank. The attacker was shot at the scene. Later that morning,
a Palestinian woman approached a guard at the gate to Beitar Nit attempting to
gain entry. In a video widely shared online, the woman can be seen talking calmly
to the guard until she reaches into her bag, produces a knife and lunges at him.
Sgt. Benjamin Yaakovovich, a 19-year old border guard, died yesterday of wounds
sustained in a vehicle ramming attack at Hilhul Junction last Wednesday.
Yedioth Ahronoth
IDF Calls Up Four Reserve Battalions
Against the backdrop of the ongoing wave of terrorism, the IDF has issued call-up
orders to the reservists from four battalions. The plan is to have the reservists
replace troops from the standing army who were dispatched to operational
activity in Judea and Samaria. Despite the fact that they knew the chances were
slim, some IDF officials had hoped that the wave of terrorism would subside and
that the plans to call-up reservists, which Yedioth Ahronoth first reported about in
October, would be shelved. However, the isolated attacks have since evolved into
a reality of daily terrorism, and no solution is currently visible on the horizon.
Ynet News
53% of Israelis Support Killing Palestinian Terrorists
on the Spot
A majority of Israeli Jews support the killing of Palestinian terrorists “on the
spot,” while 58 percent were against Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount during
times of heightened tensions, a survey conducted by the Peace Index in
October revealed. Fifty-three percent of Israeli Jews agreed with the statement,
“Any Palestinian who has perpetrated a terror attack against Jews should be
killed on the spot, even if he has been apprehended and no longer poses a
threat.” This finding may give credence to fears expressed by Israel’s Arab public,
with 78 percent saying they were “apprehensive of being harmed” in the ongoing
violence.

Israel Moves to Green Light 2.200 New Settlements
Units
Israel's civilian planning committee for construction in the West Bank moved last
week to green light some 2,200 new housing units within existing settlements and
retroactively recognize two outposts, most likely in a bid to preempt legal
attempts by Palestinians and rights groups to see the sites evacuated. The move
is only preliminary and is still subject to changes before the new units break
ground." The Higher Planning Council of the Civil Administration agreed to
advance a master plan for the Ma’aleh Michmash area east of Ramallah that will
retroactively approve two outposts and add thousands of homes to the
settlements in the region.

Abbas. Sisi Discuss 'Deteriorating 1 Palestinian
Situation
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday met his Egyptian counterpart,
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in Cairo to discuss the deteriorating humanitarian and
security situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, Sisi's spokesperson said.
The statement said that a comprehensive solution could help relieve tensions
across the Middle East. The two presidents also discussed ongoing activities on
Egypt's eastern borders, where the Egyptian army has helped maintain's Israel's
crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian president added that if the PA
were to take control of the Gaza Strip it could improve living conditions in Gaza
and allow for borders to operate "normally," allowing the people of Gaza their
daily needs.

Optimistic News: Bridge to be Built between Israel and
Jordan
A new bridge will be built over the Jordan River to facilitate the establishment of
new industrial and employment zones. The Regional Cooperation Ministry issued
a special tender for the construction of the new bridge over the Jordan River,
connecting Israel and Jordan in the framework of the new Jordan Gate Project— a
new joint industrial and employment zone. This is the first and only
infrastructure project being undertaken jointly by Israel and Jordan. It is to be
comprised of an industrial and employment zone on either side of the Jordan
River that will be connected to one another by the new bridge. The
establishment of the new industrial zone is designed to deepen economic and
commercial ties between Jordan and Israel,

Act Now: The Greatest Threat to Israel Is Continuing
Status Quo
If it retains the l/lfesf Bank, Israel can be Jewish, but no longer democratic. Or, it can
be democratic, but no longer Jewish. For those who love Israel, time is running
out.
By S. Daniel Abraham
When it comes to Middle East peace, I admittedly have a strong bias: I am a
lifelong Zionist with a profound love for Israel. It’s precisely that love that drives
me to say emphatically that Israel faces a threat not only from those who want to
see it destroyed, but also from demographic realities that can accomplish what

those enemies can’t.
Page 2609
For me, ahavat Yisrael, the love of Israel, was instilled at an early age — before the
birth of modern-day Israel. I remember first hearing the horrifying news of the
Nazis’ systematic murder of Europe’s Jews. I remember reading about refugees
struggling to get to the Holy Land, of ships turned away, not only from Palestine,
but also from my own country.
I remember the thrill and excitement of the founding of Israel, and the knowledge
that Jews no longer would be turned away, that we had a refuge and our own
homeland, that we Jews now were responsible for our own survival.
It is those memories and love for Israel that motivate me today to do what I can to
point out the existential threat of today’s demographic realities, to push for Israel
to get back to the peace table, to ensure that people remember the late Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s words that “separation between Israel and the
Palestinians is the best solution for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” and
that, given the choice “between the whole of the land of Israel, which meant a
binational state ... and a state with less territory, but which would be a Jewish
state,” as Rabin declared: “We chose a Jewish state because we are convinced
that a binational state with millions of Palestinian Arabs will not be able to fulfill
the Jewish role of the State of Israel, which is the state of the Jews.”
In a few more years it will be too late for Israel to make that choice. The dream of a
Jewish democratic state will be lost. For those who love Israel, and want it to
remain a Jewish state, the time to act is now.
The greatest existential threat to the Jewish, democratic state of Israel is
continuing the status quo.
The numbers speak for themselves. Simply look at the Jewish population, which
continues to shrink compared with greater Israel’s Arab population. Today’s
population, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, is 52 percent Jewish.
By the year 2020, the population is projected to be 49 percent Jewish and by 2030
just 44 percent Jewish.
With those diminishing percentages, it is simply impossible for the state to
control all of the biblical land of Israel while remaining both Jewish and
democratic. If it retains the West Bank, Israel can be Jewish, but no longer
democratic. Or, it can be democratic, but no longer Jewish.
There is, of course, a third choice: Stay a majority Jewish and democratic nation
by working with the Palestinians to create a nonmilitarized Palestinian state, with
the two living side by side in security and peace.
Israelis, Palestinians and the international community are all in desperate need of
a two-state solution. We know that we can only reach a lasting deal through
international and regional cooperation, as well as direct negotiations.

Negotiate Jerusalem First. Not Last
By Uri Savir
There is no doubt that among all permanent status issues to be resolved
regarding the future between Israel and Palestine, the most difficult one by very
far is the status of Jerusalem. Emotionally, it is the most loaded issue; politically,

it is the most complicated one. From a religious perspective, reaching an
agreement between the Jewish and Muslim worlds on the Jerusalem issue seems
like "mission impossible."
But pragmatically, this should not be the case. Analyzing today's situation, one
can say that Jerusalem is already de facto a divided city , between west and east.
Most Arab neighborhoods, such as Jabel Mukaber, Issawiya, Shuafat and Atur,
are now cut off by road blocks and the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) is
administered by the Jordanian Waqf in coordination with the Palestinian
Authority's Ministry of Waqf and Religious Affairs; only Muslims are allowed to
pray there. It is also an open secret that PA officials are active both socially and
economically in East Jerusalem.
The majority of Israeli public opinion supports giving up control over the East
Jerusalem's Palestinian neighborhoods. According to a poll conducted on Oct.
27 by Mina Tzemach for the Israeli Knesset channel, 50% supports
transferring the Arab East Jerusalem neighborhoods to the PA, while 41%
oppose it. These results stem from developments on the ground, namely those
borne out of the conflict, and not following any negotiations. Nevertheless, they
show the road to a resolution of the contentious Jerusalem issue; they could
actually serve as the basis to such a resolution.
If negotiations are one day resumed, what remains is to turn this de facto situation
into a de jure division between two states and to deal with the future
arrangements for the Old City and the holy sites. Jerusalem would become
Israel's internationally recognized capital, also by all Arab states. (Today, no
government recognizes it; not even the US administration .) East Jerusalem
would become the internationally recognized Palestinian capital. The Palestinian
government offices could be located in one of the Palestinian neighborhoods
inside East Jerusalem.
As for the holy sites, all Jewish sites would come under Israeli sovereignty and all
Muslim sites under Palestinian sovereignty.
The Old City should be divided according to the division of the city itself: the
Jewish Quarter to Israel and the other quarters to Palestine. Given the historical
importance and sensitivities of the Old City, no army or regular police force
should be allowed to enter. Both sides should each establish special municipal
police forces for public order, overseeing the freedom of worship at the
respective religious sites.
This will lead to a situation in which there will be two capitals, actually two
Jerusalems: the Israeli Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) and the Palestinian Jerusalem
(Al-Quds), which will be each forced to develop infrastructure and economic
cooperation.
The road to such a resolution is very difficult, even with political will — which is
currently nonexistent. Yet, given today's status quo, it is not a long road. Rather, it
is a road that needs very courageous decision-making on both sides, with the
help of the international community.
When asked about such propositions, a senior and pragmatic Fatah official who
talked to Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity rejected it out of hand. He said,
"Jerusalem is to us — the Palestinians, the Arab countries and the Muslim
world — not less important than to Israel and the Jewish world. East Jerusalem is
occupied and should be returned. We insist that all symbols of Palestinian
sovereignty will be present on Haram al-Sharif — a Palestinian police force and a
Palestinian flag — and it should be administered by the Palestinian national
government. Israel can do the same for the Wailing Wall."

He added emphatically that the Palestinian president's office (Muqata, today
located in Ramallah) must be relocated to the Old City and suggested Orient
House as a suitable location. He acknowledged, however, that after the division of
Jerusalem, Palestine could recognize West Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
An Israeli confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was even more
adamant in rejecting a pragmatic compromise formula. He told Al-Monitor on
condition of anonymity, "Jerusalem will remain united as Israel's capital, with the
existing special arrangements on the Temple Mount for the Jordanian Waqf." He
said that once all other issues are resolved, primarily Israeli security in the face of
Arab terror, Israel might show certain flexibility on some of the East Jerusalem
Palestinian neighborhoods.
Indeed, such a pragmatic solution of turning the de facto situation on the ground
into the basis for a legally binding framework is impossible today. As
aforementioned, it would require political will and tremendous civil courage on
both sides. It would also demand intensive US diplomatic intervention that, today,
is not realistic.
Yet, as the diplomatic stalemate can only lead to further violent deterioration,
including in Jerusalem, it might be time to reflect on innovative approaches to
conflict resolution. If in the Oslo process Jerusalem was purposefully delayed to
be the last negotiated issue, in the next peace process — which sooner or later
will be born out of necessity — it could be wise to begin negotiations by tackling
the Jerusalem issue first. Leaving it open is a dangerous time bomb. A gradual
resolution of the Jerusalem issue will facilitate the resolution of the other
issues — borders, settlements, security and refugees. Indeed, it might be time for
another Oslo secret back channel ; this time with "Jerusalem first" instead of
"Jerusalem last."

center's honorary president.

" Justice Vacated? The Impact of Judicial Vacancies on the Criminal Justice System
Abstract : Ten percent of federal judgeships are currently vacant, yet little is known on the impact of these vacancies on the
criminal justice system. Using data that link arrests to charging to sentencing, I find that prosecutors dismiss more cases during
vacancies. Defendants prosecuted during vacancies are charged with fewer counts and more likely to be charged with
misdemeanor offenses, yielding a higher rate of guilty pleas and lower rate of incarceration, suggesting more favorable plea
deals. Lower rates of incarceration and shorter prison sentences are concentrated among defendants who can afford to retain
private counsel. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that the current rate of vacancies has contributed to 6000 fewer
prison years per fiscal year compared to a fully staffed court system.

Dear John:
We have planned for some time to hold a high-level dinner for ~80 people at the Harvard Club in New York on Friday, Sept. 25,
hosted by the UN Foundation, to honor the Pope's leadership on climate change and his remarks that day at the UN. Our first
inclination was to honor Msgr. Marcelo Sorondo, the Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Mark Gallogly - whom we
met through your suggestion - was kind enough to agree to cover the costs. As we get closer to the date, though, we have been
rethinking the potential scope of the event and the guest list - possibly featuring more of an "arc to Paris" theme that ties
together the Pope's encyclical with the SDGs and especially the SDG on sustainable energy, such that we might involve the
Secretary-General, Christiana Figueres, and/or Kandeh Yumkella and his successor.
Would such an event be of interest to you? From your perspective, is there something useful that we might do - e.g., assemble
influential NY Catholics on climate change? If so, we would welcome your counsel on how we might shape the event and whom
we might invite - and of course we would be delighted if you could come and make a few remarks.
Thanks, John, as always.
With best regards,
Reid

[big campaign] WILL PALIN VOTE FOR CONVICTED FELON STEVENS?
Palin and Stevens-1.doc
WILL PALIN VOTE FOR CONVICTED FELON STEVENS?
Senator Ted Stevens was convicted on 7 counts of corruption but Palin still refuses to condemn his actions, call for his resignation, or say whether
she will vote for him. Palin talks about how she took on the corruption in Alaska but with Stevens help she was a card carrying member of the
corrupt old boys' network.
Ted Stevens Found Guilty on Seven Counts in Corruption Trial
"A federal grand jury indicted Stevens, 84, in July on seven counts of making false statements, for allegedly lying on U.S. Senate financial
disclosure forms for the years 1 999 to 2006." [ABC News 1 0/27/08 ]
After Conviction, Palin Reiterates Confidence in Stevens While Refusing to Call for His Resignation
"I'm confident Senator Stevens will do what's right for the people of Alaska," Palin said in a statement. [AP, 10/27/08 ]
Palin Has a Long History as a Member of Stevens Corrupt Old Boys Network
As Recently as July Palin said: "I Have Great Respect" For Senator Stevens. During a discussion of Senator
Stevens' energy plans for Alaska, Governor Palin said, "I have great respect for the senator and he needs to be heard across America,
his voice, his experience, his passion, needs to be heard across America so that Alaska can contribute more, so that we can be
producers, so that we can help lead the rest of the U.S. I, again have great respect for him." [Anchorage Daily News, 7/2/08 ]
Palin Ran Stevens' 527 Group. The Washington Post reported. "Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's
political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.
Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the 'Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise
unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She
served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings." [Washington Post . 9/1/08 ]
Palin Hired Lobbying Firm Connected To Senator Stevens To Win Federal Funds. The Washington Post reported
that, "As mayor of Wasilla, however, Palin oversaw the hiring of Robertson. Monaale & Eastauah. an Anchoraae-based
law firm with close ties to Alaska's most senior Republicans: Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens , who was indicted
in July on charges of accepting illegal gifts. The Wasilla account was handled bv the former chief of staff to Stevens. Steven
W. Silver, who is a partner in the firm. [. . .] Senate records show that Silver's firm began working for Palin in early 2000, just as federal
money began flowing. . ..Palin and the Wasilla City Council increased Silver's fee from $24,000 to $36,000 a year by 2001 . . .The Palin
earmarks came when Stevens was chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and Young was a senior member of the House
transportation committee. In hiring Silver, Wasilla found someone who was a member of each lawmaker's inner circle. Silver has donated at
least $11 ,400 to Stevens' political committees and $1 0,000 to Young's reelection committee in the past decade, according to Federal
Election Commission records." [Washington Post . 9/2/08 , emphasis added]
Sen. Ted Stevens' Endorsement Part of Palin Gubernatorial Ad. A campaign commercial for Palin's 2006 Gubernatorial
campaign features Ted Stevens' endorsement. Stevens said, "We have a state that needs new management; that needs new people to
represent a new generation. And they represent a new vision, new energy, they represent the kind of people that ought to come along and
take our places. And it needs a new agenda for all of us to get behind. This of this, when you go to vote, don't go to vote alone, you'll help
Sarah become the next governor of Alaska, which we all want to see." [2006 Palin advertisement, accessed 8/29/08 ]
While Falsely Accusing ACORN and Others of Voter "Fraud," Palin and Republicans Refuse to Condemn Convicted Felon
Stevens
"Alaska State Election Law States That a Convicted Felon Cannot Vote. According to the state of Alaska, A person convicted of a crime that
constitutes a felony involving moral turpitude under state or federal law may not vote in a state, federal, or municipal election from the date of the
conviction through the date of the unconditional discharge of the person." [Politico, 1 0/27/08 ]

Dear Huma and John,
I hope Hillary has a good psychologist and also a great media messaging person working with her. I think SNL
captured the current mood perfectly last night. Just to add to the ambivalence here is the logic of my 30 year
old son who is a brilliant Princeton Phd Economist. He is waiting to see if Trump is the likely nominee. If so
he will vote for Sanders because he wants Bloomberg to come in because he does not think Hillary can beat
Trump because he is so nasty. He thinks she is the best candidate though. I just hope people come to their
senses and understand that we are playing for keeps.
So let's pray that this too will pass. Now off to Nevada. I hope to see you there.

Hi Eryn,
I hope you are doing well! We are still hoping you are able to make it to South Africa. We will probably be here for another
couple of years. I wanted to let you (and JDP) know that I left USAID and joined Dalberg as an Associate Partner. I am
very excited about this new role and will have a lot of freedom to create my own portfolio.
I will be sad to miss Gayle as she (hopefully) moves over to USAID. It was always the dream to work together at AID when
we were running Sustainable Security.
Thanks for everything and keep in touch!

Had a good convo with Brandon Davis at SEIU. Notes below
1. Told them it's likely we will do something in California and we are
just finalizing. They are excited. Ann, I got your document last night
on the type of roundtable. Once we get a date set we can start working
with them on that.
2. Also relayed that HRC can't meet with one local cause then it'll
expand into other locals. He understood. He is advocating for some
call time for some of their local leaders from her, my guess is
particularly George Gresham at 1 199. Not sure how we feel about call
time. He said it was really important but John, you may want to check
with Mary Kay on that.
3. I asked if the event replaced an exec committee meeting. He said
that's a priority (the event) but not necessarily replace. He said if
HRC ever did time in DC, he would love to pull together some members
for a discussion, not necessarily exec committee, but doesn't want to
rule that out.
My two cents are we do the Cali event and do something with them in
DC. I'm torn on call time but would love everyone's thoughts on that.
I want to make sure I set realistic expectations with them.

Subject: AP Story
MS-
We have been working with Julie Pace of the AP today to lay out a story ahead of tomorrow with some basic
teasers on how you came to the decision to run and your rationale for doing so. We had John and Robby talk to
Julie, all on background, so as not to get ahead of ourselves in confirming anything officially prior to tomorrow.
John did a run-through highlighting the things you’ve worked on your whole life, your experiences, including
your more recent experiences as Secretary of State, and how it further shaped your views and your approach to
problem-solving (the need to be globally competitive, what it takes to remain indispensable, and some examples
of seeing the need to make progress in the US when you see things like the Chinese institute universal Pre-K).
He went on to detail the last couple of years post-State, and the fact that this was a real decision that you came
to after spending the fall thinking through solutions that are commensurate with our biggest challenges. Robby
then did a little on the rationale to lay out the basics, that this is a campaign driven by people, etc.
The piece will shorter and process-focused but will get the attention we want it to get, and will go up this
afternoon.
